A stylish & tastefully decorated detached Cortijo located in the beautiful hillsides of the Granada Contraviesa in the southern Alpujarra region with views of both the Sierra Nevada Mountain range & the Mediterranean Sea.

This exclusive property is surrounded by nature but has all the comforts of a modern home.

There is an impressive driveway & private track which leads to the entrance of the main house passing through the 23 hectares (233,785 meters) of land planted with a cross section of Organic Certified Almond, Olive & Fig trees.

The main house was built by its current owners in 2007 to provide an adaptable & functional family home with sustainability & self-sufficiency at its heart.

The electricity supply for the house is from a Solar system with the batteries & inverter being recently upgraded. The water supply is from a mains system but irrigation is from a Well & several natural springs on the land.

The property has potential to be used in a multitude of ways, it has a generous sized swimming pool with sun terrace & outdoor bar, games court, gym, outdoor giant Chess board as well as several secluded seating areas. It also has a designated BBQ area with outdoor kitchen & Alfresco dining area, all of which make it an ideal family home or lends itself to becoming a Rural Accommodation business.

The house is generously proportioned with five spacious bedrooms, three of which are ensuite & have a fireplace to supplement the underfloor heating that runs throughout the house. The other two bedrooms are twin rooms & share a family bathroom. All five bedrooms have floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes.

There is an amply sized dining room that leads onto a dual aspect lounge giving views of the walled garden & panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range.

The generously sized kitchen has granite work surfaces, two butler sinks, central island, wood burner with oven, dining area, a walk-in pantry & a doorway which leads to the swimming pool, BBQ & Alfresco dining area.

There is a beautiful central patio with a seating area, providing light to the hallways & one of the bedrooms.

There are several outbuildings which include the old Bodega (Wine pressing area), currently used as a storeroom & pump room on the ground floor & as a gym on the first floor. There is a warehouse currently storing the Solar batteries & underfloor heating boiler with access to a further storeroom & double garage. In addition, there is a tool shed / greenhouse, as well as, two exterior dog kennels which could easily be converted into additional storage if required.

There is ample parking for at least five vehicles at the rear of the property & additional parking for at least another five vehicles at the front.

The Cortijo benefits from having a full & comprehensive alarm system with internal & external cameras connected to a central security hub, running off the properties Internet system.

The property is enclosed by decorative walled gardens on three sides which include a sunken garden, an olive garden with giant Chess board as well as a full-sized games court with net.

The Cortijo itself has two distinctive areas with a shallow valley running between the two sides. In this valley is where the two vegetable gardens are located complete with irrigation from the water deposits.

On one side is the main house & on the other are two animal barns, one of 168m2 & the other 172m2, plus chicken / turkey sheds & a huge storage container. There is smaller fenced area behind one of the barns & a substantial fenced area that runs inside of the Cortijo entrance track.

The barns have been built to accommodate pigs, horses / donkeys / mules, goats & sheep. In addition, there are 4 dog kennels.

In summary, this Cortijo is a haven of peace & tranquillity to be enjoyed either as retreat for family & friends or as an excellent commercial opportunity.
