Habitable cortijo to renovate to create up to 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms - 5000m2 plot with 3000m2 vineyard - sea views

If you are looking for a large old cortijo that is habitable, but needs renovating, this is possibly the one! Set on around 5,000m2 of land of which 3000m2 is vineyard, this lovely old country house consists of several large rooms that can be easily renovated to produce a 4-5 bedroom house. At the moment it consists of a working kitchen and diner, a living room and a bedroom, plus store rooms, various outbuildings and a lovely outside dining area, but it has full written planning permission to restore, and can have up to 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a large kitchen, dining room, living room and 2 huge patios. The house is ideal for a large family, or could even be made into two parts, for two families.

The cortijo is 100 years old, has 60cm thick old walls, beams and original floors. Roughly half of the land is flat, around the house and along the private gated driveway to the house. The other half is a gentle slope with vines that need attending to, but could be restored to their former glory! There are even the old raisin-drying beds! There are also abundant mature fruit trees and the land is very fertile, so ideal for growing.

The views are spectacular, of Velez-Malaga and Torre del Mar towns and the sea beyond to the South, and of the Maroma mountain and the Sierra de Tejeda to the East and hills to the West.

The property has mains water, mains electrics, a water storage tank and septic tank. It is possible to drill a well for independent water for irrigation if prefered and it is possible to add a pool. It could also be converted easily into a b&b, kennels, stables, yoga retreat, etc. Planning permission is for the restoration of 190m2 and the addition of an extra 25m2, making a total size of 215m2.

This property is not isolated, set amongst a nucleus of country houses nearby and is located around 15 mins from Vélez-Málaga town. The shortest track is 2 Kms from the asphalted road and there are two other tracks, one partly asphalted and the other has just been asphalted by the local authorities. A wonderful business opportunity, or just a chance to renovate one of the few old country houses left in this part of Spain!
