El Colmenar (Gaucín) – Málaga Province \n 109,223 M2 10.9 Hectares • 5 Tourist Casitas • 2 Hectares Urbanizable • Panoramic Views
Historic rural estate poised for prime tourism development. Set on 11 hectares of tranquil natural land , including 2 hectares of urbanizable terrain , the property offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty and scalable investment potential. Formerly belonging to the renowned Larios Sherry family , the estate retains its traditional Andalusian character while offering modern infrastructure for hospitality projects.
Prime Investment Features
• 1O hectares of pristine private land, including 2 hectares zoned for future development —ideal for additional accommodations, wellness facilities, glamping, or private residences.
• A semi‑ruined cottage suitable for conversion into a private owners home
• A large semi ruined cortijo with stable block suitable for conversion into tourist units, a boutique hotel, private villa, wellness center, or stables.
• Situated at the gateway to the Canon de Buitreras , a major natural attraction drawing hikers, birdwatchers, and adventure tourists.
• Town hall plans for a new walkway route to the Buitreras —a local " Camino de Reyes" style trail—will significantly increase future visitor flow.
Accommodation – 5 Independent Rustic Casitas
Built with original materials and charming rustic features, each casita offers privacy, comfort, and panoramic views.
• 5 self‑contained units
• Rustic interiors with chestnut beams and Andalusian character
• Each casita includes a mini kitchen cleverly integrated into a custom-designed wardrobe (two-ring cooker, sink, compact fridge)
• Capacity breakdown:
• 2 x casitas for 2 guests
• 2 x casitas for 4 guests
• 1 x casita for 6 guests
• Some casitas include adjoining lockable doors —ideal for hosting groups, retreats, or family events.
Professional Hospitality Facilities
Perfect for retreats, rural tourism, gastronomic tourism, events, and group stays.
Catering & Dining
• A fully equipped, professional stainless‑steel kitchen , recently refurbished at an investment of approx. €60,000
• Large beamed dining room seating up to 40 guests
• Two original bread‑fire ovens as historic decorative features
• Separate men's and women's restrooms for restaurant use

Natural Environment & Tourism Appeal
The complex is surrounded by forests, mountains, and dramatic vistas—an unbeatable setting for nature lovers.
• Immediate proximity to El Colmenar village
• Easy access to the spectacular Cañón de las Buitreras
• Ideal for:
• Eco‑tourism
• Adventure tourism
• Wellness & yoga retreats
• Gastronomic events
• Rural hotel expansion
• Investment in future tourism infrastructure
Why This Property Stands Out
• A rare chance to acquire a historic estate with authentic Andalusian soul
• Infrastructure already in place for a profitable tourism operation
• Significant room for future development on urbanizable land
• Peace, privacy, and unmatched natural surroundings
• Increasing tourist demand due to upcoming public investment and new hiking routes

Buying property in Spain
Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
