Cortijo Árbol - A 4 bed, 2 bath cortijo with amazing views, set within the lovely countryside, close to the Town of Oria.

This property is not a standard home but a place to retreat for those who consciously seek distance from everyday life. It offers rare privacy, tranquillity, and space, with no direct neighbours to interrupt the peaceful surroundings. The secluded location is not a compromise but rather the property’s core value, and the stunning, far-reaching views that surround the house further enhance its sense of escape and serenity.

The property benefits from a photovoltaic solar system with a capacity of 1.5kWp, which comfortably supplies power for the majority of the time. In practice, the generator is only required during extended periods of bad weather, making the system both efficient and practical for off-grid living. The water tank is located beneath the pump house and has a capacity of 8,000 litres. A fully functioning domestic water pump is installed on site, easily connected, and reliably supplies the house with water. The pump is dismantled when the property is not in use.

The house itself is immaculate and ready to move into, with beamed ceilings and attractive tiling throughout that add warmth and character. You enter through a door that leads into an open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting room, complete with a log burner. This space feels like the true hub of the home, combining charming features with a light, spacious atmosphere. The kitchen is stylish, generous in size, and well laid out for both everyday living and entertaining.

From this central area there are two additional lounges, offering flexibility for relaxation, reading, or entertaining guests. There is also access to the back gardens from this level, along with a comfortable double bedroom and a large, full bathroom featuring a beautiful freestanding bath. Stairs lead to the first floor, where two bedrooms are positioned on either side of the staircase. Both rooms are beautifully decorated and enjoy amazing countryside views.

From the landing, a door leads to another bedroom which can also function as a sitting room, making it ideal for use as a separate apartment or private guest suite. This room benefits from an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and a door that opens onto a large outside terrace with unrivalled views across the surrounding landscape. From this terrace, a staircase provides direct access to the front of the property.

The gardens surrounding the house are secluded, enhancing the sense of privacy. The pool area is accessed via a gate at the side of the property and is enclosed by walls, creating a secure and private space. This area will require some work to restore it to its former glory. The pool itself is of solid wood construction and remains in good condition, although the lining will need to be replaced. The garden area around the pool is currently neglected and would benefit from attention and landscaping. There is also a large storage room and a covered area which, once refreshed, will become an attractive feature of this space.

The remainder of the gardens around the house require only a little care to bring them back to their best. Overall, the property is decorated to an extremely high standard and offers a truly exceptional home, combining character, privacy, and stunning surroundings with comfortable, ready-to-move-into accommodation.

Oria is surrounded by the most wonderful countryside and the town which is only a ten minute drive from the property has a good number of bars, eateries, small shops, doctors, pharmacy, tobac etc The much larger market towns of Cantoria, Albox, Velez Rubio, Chirivel etc that have all the amenities required for daily living are a 15-20 min drive away. This isn’t a coastal property – far more a country home but if you fancy a day or relaxing weekend on the beach then many of Almeria’s prettiest beach resorts Mojacar, Vera, Garrucha etc are a 45-50 min drive.
