Full Description
Spacious Farmhouse with Olive and Almond Production near Alhama de Granada
This very spacious and well-laid out farmhouse is south-west facing and enjoys breath-taking views over the town of Alhama de Granada, towards the Sierras Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama — an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set within 21.6 hectares of productive olive and almond groves, the property combines a renovated farmhouse with modern comforts, a 100 m² tractor shed and all necessary working farm machinery including a Land Rover Defender 4x4.
When renovated, the house was carefully laid out for comfortable, spacious, modern living with wooden beams throughout and ample windows creating a light and airy feel. Extremely well insulated with double glazing and thick walls that keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer, the property is presented in excellent condition and ready to move into. This is a turn-key opportunity perfectly suited for family living, B&B operation or agricultural income generation, with current revenues of €80,000-€100,000 per annum from olives, almonds, EU subsidy and firewood sales.
