Full Description


A large character cortijo tucked away in a very pretty valley a few km’s from the main market town of Lubrín.

Sympathetically restored by its current owners who have maintained the rustic charm and improved it greatly over their years of making it their permanent home.

A semi-detached, deceptively large property with 4 beds, 2 bathrooms and 3 reception rooms. All rooms have exposed beams and original features distributed over two levels, totalling a spacious 220m2. Enjoying a private rear courtyard with stunning views down to the valley below, which faces South and is a veritable sun trap.

Enter the property via its pretty original blue stable door into a sitting room with wood burner and space for dining too. 'The distinctive Moorish arch' leads through to the central sitting area or office with a further wood burner which has the added benefit of a back-boiler feeding a hot water tank and radiators.

Steps lead down via original glass doors into the rustic hand crafted kitchen with gas hob and electric oven and two windows offering pretty views and plenty of natural light. The dining area window is particularly picturesque and looks out down the valley from the pretty blue shuttered window.

Also on the south side of the property is a comfortable and characterful 'chill room' with a hand made door and large sofas and TV.

Stairs lead up from the central sitting area to the main master bedroom with Juliet balcony and a large room off this which is in its original condition, a useful storage space or ripe for conversion to a roof terrace and a bathroom.

The top of the stairs adjacent to the master bedroom features a fireplace with a wood burner and is used as an additional bedroom and recreational room. another feature fireplace and seating area for reading,

Further rooms downstairs consist of two additional bedrooms which share a 'pretty' bathroom/ shower room Jack & Jill style with shower.

The main family bathroom is creatively original with its 'watering can' shower/wet-room.

An interior courtyard offers a cool summer space which connects the remaining rooms of the house. An upstairs studio/workshop and terrace.

To the rear the beautiful space of the rear courtyard enjoying peace, quiet and tranquility with an unspoilt view of the terraced valley below.

To the front of the property is space to park several cars. There is fertile terrace on the lower level below the cortijo of approximately 240m2. A further plot belongs to the property just along from the house which could also be used for planting or covered parking.

Municipal water is connected and mains electricity. It is located in a neighbourhood of Lubrin, called Rambla Honda, 3 minutes by car from the town centre.

Three wood burning stoves, one with a back-boiler which feeds to a storage tank plus a 500 litre water storage tank situated in the loft. An electric water heater for summer use is also installed.

This property with its 12 rooms has further potential for enlargement, in such a beautiful area, offers good value for the price.

Rambla Honda is a much sought after location and enjoys close proximity to this vibrant and friendly town. Lubrin has several bars and restaurants serving excellent authentic tapas, 2 banks, 3 bakers, 2 butchers, a fish shop, gym, theatre and many other local amenities together with a medical centre.

Lubrín’s fiesta calendar is busy and the community enjoy varied cultural events.

Mojacar beach and Vera are a 40 minute drive. Almeria city is just under an hour away. Murcia is 1 ½ hours and Alicante 2 hours for airport access.

A super property with typical Andalusian charm.
