5 Bed Cortijo for sale
Cantoria, Almeria, Andalucia, Spain
Full Description
Situated close to the charming village of Cantoria, yet only a short drive from Arboleas, this traditional 5-bedroom cortijo measures 222m² and sits within a plot of approx. 750m². The property is perfectly suited to anyone looking for a manageable renovation project in a beautiful rural setting.
The cortijo is habitable as it stands, requiring primarily cosmetic reform to allow the new owner to gradually modernise and personalise the space while already enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Approaching the property, the plot opens into a spacious off-road parking area, easily accommodating several vehicles. To the left of the house, a gate leads around to the rear of the property where the outdoor living spaces and pool area are located.
The main entrance is via traditional wooden double doors which open into a welcoming hallway that immediately showcases the character of this authentic Andalusian home. Off to the left is the living room; a comfortable space that could easily be used as a cosy family lounge or entertaining area.
Continuing straight ahead, the hallway leads into the spacious kitchen, which offers ample cupboard storage and enough room for a dining table & chairs, creating a practical and sociable heart of the home. From here, a door opens out onto the covered rear terrace; a wonderful shaded spot overlooking the pool and surrounding countryside. Just off the kitchen is another generously sized room, currently used as additional living space, but equally suited to be converted into a ground floor bedroom, if desired.
To the right of the hallway is the bathroom and then the staircase that leads up to the first floor.
On the first floor, there are four well-sized bedrooms, each enjoying plenty of natural light. One of the bedrooms features a small door leading out onto a rear terrace with simply outstanding views.
The rear of the property is particularly impressive. There is a concrete construction swimming pool, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the breathtaking surroundings. This swimming pool will need some work before use. From this vantage point, the property enjoys spectacular panoramic views across the Almanzora Valley, with the dramatic mountains forming a stunning natural backdrop.
This cortijo is a fantastic renovation project for anyone dreaming of restoring a traditional Andalusian home, whether as a permanent residence, holiday retreat, or countryside project with enormous potential. With its generous space, authentic charm, and unforgettable views, this property is a rare opportunity to create something truly special in the heart of the Almería countryside.
