Full Description


This fabulous fully reformed cortijo really has a lot to offer; 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, two patios, terrace, 4652m² land, log burner and central heating system, large garage/workshop, and full of character and original features throughout.

The property is set slightly back from the tarmac road with parking areas to the front & side, plus the huge garage/workshop on the side of the main house. The front door opens to a reception room/hallway with log burning stove (that also provides the central heating) and double doors on the right open into a comfortable sitting room. The exposed ceiling beams throughout this level immediately catch the eye. An arch from the reception room then takes you to another hallway/reception room with the stairs in the centre of the house leading up to the first floor. The dining room is off to the right and the downstairs shower room is located here too. Ahead is the kitchen with feature log cooker, and door out to the first internal courtyard.

Upstairs you will find three double guest bedrooms as well as the master bedroom with en-suite shower room and walk-through dressing area with wardrobes. The high beamed ceilings maintain the rustic charm throughout this level of the home. A door out from the master bedroom opens to a fly-free terrace with BBQ and superb country views to the rear of the house. An external staircase then leads down to the first internal courtyard (also accessed from the kitchen) with a separate fly-free dining porch and palm tree in one corner. From here, the property continues to the next courtyard with established grapevines and flagstone flooring.

The majority of the land is flat, to the side of the house and planted with various trees. Stored rainwater is used for irrigation, with deposit tanks holding up to 120,000 litres of water. A tractor is also included in the sale. There is further scope to convert the outbuildings adjoining the garage or to convert the old mill section to the rear of the house, if desired.

The property is close to the main road and just a short drive to the E15/A7 motorway and central to three major airports, Alicante, Murcia and Almeria.

The cortijo is located just a 5 minute walk to the closest shop & restaurant, and sits between the towns of Huercal Overa and Puerto Lumbreras; approximately a 10-minute drive to each. Both towns offer all amenities including major supermarkets, medical facilities (the main hospital is in Huercal Overa), shops, bars, restaurants and all that could be required for everyday living. The larger city of Lorca is 20 minutes’ drive from the property. Lorca offers many historical interests including a wonderful castle overlooking the entire area, a theatre, cinema, shopping centre and a plethora of bars/restaurants and entertainment. The coastal towns of Garrucha, Mojacar and San Juan are a 35-minute drive away.
