Welcome to this timeless cortijo, steeped in rustic charm and nestled among the rolling hills of Vélez-Blanco. Surrounded by over a hectare of gently terraced land dotted with mature olive trees, this stunning 5-bedroom property is a rare find for anyone longing to embrace the tranquillity of rural Andalusia without sacrificing access to nearby villages and amenities.
Set in a private yet accessible location, this traditional farmhouse sits just a short 3-minute drive down a well-maintained track from the main road and only 8 minutes from the historic towns of Vélez-Blanco and Vélez-Rubio.
A Home Full of Character & Comfort
As you approach the property, a sweeping driveway brings you to the cortijo, set against the majestic backdrop of 360-degree mountain views. The home is surrounded by a fenced garden area, offering both privacy and a safe space for children and pets to enjoy. A large patio terrace invites you to relax with a glass of wine or enjoy long Sunday barbecues under the open sky.
Step through the main entrance and into a welcoming open-plan kitchen and dining area, where traditional charm meets modern practicality. This space is bright, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, featuring a fully fitted kitchen with electric oven, gas hob, and dishwasher, plus a large utility room with washing machine and ample storage.
From here, continue past the central staircase into a flexible bonus room—ideal as a home office, snug, or hobby room—and on to the generous living room, where a wood-burning stove takes center stage. Flooded with natural light through double patio doors, this cosy space is perfect for winter evenings, while offering direct access to the garden and outdoor seating area in warmer months.
Upstairs – A Place to Retreat
Climb the staircase to the first floor and discover a layout that offers versatility and privacy for family living or hosting guests. The hallway divides into two wings:
To the right, a spacious family bathroom with bathtub and built-in storage leads into a large, serene double bedroom. Further along is a unique setup—two interlinked bedrooms separated by a shared sitting room, ideal for children, guests, or a creative space. One of these bedrooms features a walk-in wardrobe, while the other enjoys mountain views from its window. A private staircase from this area leads to an ensuite bathroom with shower, adding a boutique feel to this section of the home.
To the left, a grand double bedroom awaits with its own dressing room, fitted wardrobes, and an elegant ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower. French doors open onto a private balcony—the perfect place to start your day with a coffee and take in the unspoiled Andalusian landscape. Adjacent to this suite is a fifth room, currently used as a home office, but easily adaptable as a guest room, nursery, or reading nook.
Utility & Storage Spaces
At the far end of the first floor is a well-organised storage room, housing the central heating boiler, 1000-litre water tank, and diesel heating controls—making this home not only beautiful but practical and efficient year-round. Below, the large integral garage features wide double doors to the driveway, additional storage space, and the diesel tank for the central heating system.
Outside – Nature at Your Doorstep
The property sits on 11,956 m² of land, partially fenced around the cortijo to form a landscaped garden with shaded corners, open terraces, and a large storage shed. The remaining land flows in tiers behind and beside the home, planted with productive olive trees that are both beautiful and potentially harvestable.
To the right, a lower terraced plot contains additional olive trees and a large, traditional water deposit that has been used for bathing or cooling off during the summer months. An access track—used only occasionally by a local farmer—runs behind the property, leading to a nearby, uninhabited farmhouse. Despite this, the property remains entirely private and peaceful, with no immediate neighbours overlooking the home.
