description

Nestled in a tranquil agricultural valley near Órgiva, in the stunning Alpujarra mountains of Andalucía, this unique property offers two beautiful houses set on 6 acres (25,000 m²) of terraced land. The estate features two main houses, a storage/workshop area (which occasionally doubles as an additional bedroom), a cozy wooden cabin, an exercise/yoga studio, and a refreshing swimming pool. Location & Accessibility: The property is a short 20-minute drive (9 km) from the town of Órgiva, with the last 3 km accessed via a well-maintained gravel track, easily navigable by a standard vehicle. The Land: The land consists of gently sloping terraces on the mountainside, home to 160 olive trees and a variety of fruit and nut trees, including avocado, almond, walnut, hazelnut, orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, lime, persimmon, and more. A natural spring on the property provides fresh drinking water and supplies an irrigation system, along with additional irrigation from the traditional acequia system. The swimming pool also doubles as a reservoir to water the surrounding trees during the growing season. The irrigation is well-organized, with the upper olive terraces watered every eight days in spring and summer, while the lower terraces are rotated daily using sprinklers. Main House (143 m²): This traditional cortijo is spread across two levels with thick stone walls, whitewashed inside and out. The ground floor includes a cozy sitting room, a kitchen with a utility area, and two bedrooms (one twin and one single). Upstairs, you’ll find a double bedroom and a separate single bedroom housed in a charming oval-shaped tower. The bathroom and shower room are located off a covered porch with external access. Casita (50.30 m²): A single-level home with exposed stone on the exterior and whitewashed walls inside. It comprises a double bedroom, an open-plan sitting room/kitchen/dining area, and a shower room with a toilet. Additional Buildings: Wooden Cabin (10.5 m²): A small cabin near the spring, perfect for occasional guests with a single bed. Old Stables Building (19.15 m²): Built in a crescent shape on the old threshing circle, this space is divided into three rooms: a storage room, a secure tool room, and a single room for occasional use. Yoga/Hobby Room (48 m²): A standalone wooden structure with floor-to-ceiling mesh walls, offering stunning views over the valley and river below. It features temporary doors for winter use, ideal for yoga, hobbies, or relaxation. Additional Features: The kidney-shaped swimming pool, fed by the natural spring, serves as both a recreational space and a reservoir. An octagonal wooden-framed structure with a slate base remains unfinished, providing an exciting opportunity for the new owner to customize it for their personal needs. The property is fully connected to mains electricity and WiFi, offering a rare combination of modern comfort and natural beauty. This secluded yet accessible retreat is perfect for those seeking tranquility, stunning landscapes, and a self-sufficient lifestyle in the heart of Andalucía.
