The Forge – La FraguaHistoric Countryside Retreat on the Vélez Rubio / Chirivel Border – 7 Bedrooms, 2 Homes, 40,000 m² of Land
Let us introduce you to La Fragua—The Forge—a truly exceptional Andalusian property with deep historical roots and modern-day charm. Originally built in the 1920s and once a thriving blacksmith’s forge, this beautiful cortijo has been lovingly reformed over the past 16 years into a warm and welcoming family home, finished to a high standard throughout.
Location & Access
Nestled on the Chirivel side of the Vélez Rubio–Chirivel border in Almería province, the property enjoys a private and tranquil setting just a 3-minute drive off the main road via a well-maintained rambla. The local town hall keeps the rambla in excellent condition, ensuring easy year-round access. You’re just 5 minutes from the peaceful village of Chirivel and 5 minutes from the vibrant market town of Vélez Rubio, with shops, restaurants, medical services, and cultural attractions.
The Plot
Set on an impressive 40,000 m² of land, The Forge offers 360-degree panoramic views of rolling hills, open countryside, and distant mountains—perfect for those seeking space, peace, and connection with nature.
The Property Layout
The property comprises two independent homes—ideal for extended families, guest accommodation, or potential tourism rental (Casa Rural, with the appropriate licensing). Both homes are finished to a high standard, each with its own character and thoughtful design.
House 1 – Ground Floor (4 Bedrooms)
You enter the home via a private driveway with ample parking. Stepping inside:
▪️Kitchen: A fully fitted country-style kitchen with breakfast bar and range-style cooker, beautifully finished and designed for comfort and practicality.
▪️Reception area: An open-plan layout connects the kitchen to the dining room through a wide archway, enhancing the sense of space and light.
▪️Dining Room: Elegantly decorated with a large solid wood beam framing the entry to the spacious living room.
▪️Living Room: Features a log burner, double patio doors leading to the outdoor terrace, and breathtaking views.
▪️Reception Hall: A charming secondary reception area with front door access and a second wood burner.
▪️Family Bathroom: Generously sized with both a bathtub and separate shower.

▪️Bedroom 2: Another spacious double with a warm, inviting ambiance and stunning outlook.
▪️Master Bedroom: Beautifully finished, with double doors to the patio and far-reaching views.
▪️Bedroom 4: A cosy single bedroom that retains elements of the original forge walls, offering character and charm.
House 2 – First Floor (3 Bedrooms)
▪️Accessed via an external staircase:
▪️Entrance Hall / Reception Room: Behind original wooden doors, this welcoming space sets the tone for the upper residence.
▪️Bathroom: A large family bathroom with bath and shower.
▪️Bedroom 1: Currently used as a twin room, light-filled with a calming atmosphere.
▪️Kitchen / Dining Room: A stunning modern fitted kitchen with log burner, spacious enough for family meals and gatherings.

Both houses are currently supplied through the same mains electricity meter.

This could easily be rectified by separating the supply into individual electricity meters for each property.
The property is also connected to mains water, which feeds into a 20,000-litre storage tank. From there, the water is distributed to the houses.

▪️Pretty garden area to the side, ideal for relaxing or growing your own produce.
▪️Expansive land suitable for horses, glamping, agriculture, or future tourism projects (with the correct licenses in place).
