Key Features - good access - mature olive grove - original farmhouse - stables - well water, mains electricity This farmhouse has a lot of potential due to the number of stables, barns and store rooms which could be converted into accommodation. Located in the municipality of Illora in the province of Granada, Andalucia this property has a large plot of land planted with mature olive trees. The olives benefit from a government grant of around 1.000€. Access to the property is via a 1.4km track off a main road. This is not a private track. There are other houses behind this property, none of which are lived in and it’s possible that they will be available for purchase. Entering the farmyard there’s an allotment to the left with the house on the right. The first section of property is two storey with wood beamed ceilings and a fireplace. Next to this is a covered section perfect for car parking. The bathroom for the main house is outside as was common in years gone by and entry to the house is straight into a kitchen with fireplace. A few stairs up takes you to a sitting room with cut-off fireplace, two original cupboards either side of the mantel and a door that leads to a patio between the house and some stables. Also off the sitting room are two further rooms. One could be incorporated into the sitting room to make that room much larger. Upstairs are three rooms two of which has exposed roof beams and the rear room is large but with a low ceiling of maybe around 2m. Outside are a selection of farm buildings and stables along with a chicken shed and an area traditionally used for turkeys. There is also a feed and hay store. This is the perfect house for anyone who wants a smallholding with an income from the olive groves or a farm with rooms for rent. There are wonderful views of the surrounding farmland and across to the Sierra Nevada mountains. The property does need updating but while you’re doing this you can also be changing the use of some of the stables to accommodation. Nearest town with amenities is about 15 minutes. #spanishproperty #andalusianproperty #granadaproperty #spainproperty #countryproperty #cortijos #fincas
