Amazing traditional, renovated and extended farmhouse, dating back more than 60 years, located on a hilltop estate with 2 acres of old terraces and just a 5-minute walk from the authentic Andalusian town of Lubrin, in the province of Almeria .

It is a truly unique property in a unique location, a two-minute drive from the main road but protected from traffic noise and contamination by a rambla to the north and a country road to the south.

The magnificent main entrance provides the backdrop to a large paved area, historically employed as a threshing circle, and provides convenient parking for multiple cars.

From inside the main entrance there is a paved access to the upper ground floor of the Cortijo where there is a deep pool, converted from an original raft (water tank) and an integrated pergola with outdoor dining facilities. On a clear day, the view to the east includes the Mediterranean, about 12 miles away.

The upper floor of the Cortijo has been converted into a 2-bedroom apartment, with a bathroom and shower, rustic kitchen and a large living room.

Outside, from the porch there are steps, left and right, leading to two separate 1-bedroom apartments on the ground floor. These apartments consist of spacious double rooms, living rooms, kitchens and family bathrooms.

Outside, each apartment has 2 terraces, one facing east to receive the sun with a cup of coffee and the other facing west to toast the last rays of the sun with a glass of wine.

The Cortijo has central heating, Juliet balconies and shuttered windows, there are also wood stoves and ceiling fans, and there is a community utility room and boiler room.

At the opposite end of the ground floor garden is a separate 1-bedroom farmhouse converted from an agricultural unit. The living room is open plan with a wood stove and a separate shower and toilet leading to the double bedroom with a sink, ceiling fan and electric heating. Outside it has open and covered terraces with views of the Mediterranean and the benefits of Levante.

On the lower terrace of the estate there is a separate 2-bedroom cottage that was converted from a warehouse and has a covered porch to the front and a walled courtyard to the rear. There is a very large open plan living room with closed windows, wood stove and ceiling fans. The kitchen is Ikea with gas hob and oven and separate fridge / freezer. There are two double bedrooms with shuttered windows, ceiling fans, electric heating, and a spacious family bathroom.

The success of the vacation rentals is the magical combination of the peace and tranquility of the Cortijo and yet only a 5 minute walk from the village with facilities to meet all the needs of tourists. Unlike the coast, tapas bars are open year-round, and with the winter sun, self-guided hiking, and mountain biking in the adjacent foothills of the Sierra de los Filabres, provide year-round income.

Despite its rural location, the local road network provides quick and easy access through the Mediterranean and the coastal towns and villages of the Costa de Almeria. The airports of Almería, Alicante and Murcia provide access for international travelers.

Cortijo Fuente Arriba is conveniently located to explore Almería with its diverse and dramatic landscapes, isolated towns and romantic beaches and coves. The Cabo de Gata National Maritime and Terrestrial Park is simply breathtaking and many guests take the day trip to Granada to marvel at the wonderful Alhambra, or a local visit to our own Arab Fortress Alcazaba in the city of Almería.
