About this place
This rustic estate is ideally located on the banks of the La Ventilla Stream, just a stone’s throw from the charming white village of Arriate and a few minutes from Ronda. The property is divided into two distinct plots across the stream, offering unique opportunities for development and use.
On one side of the stream, you will find an estate of over 2 hectares, previously housing a flour mill. This area features two fully renovated stone mill buildings converted into separate residences. Each home, arranged over two floors, includes a living and dining area with a fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom, and a delightful covered porch. The second mill building presents excellent potential for further development with some restoration completed.
The opposite side of the stream encompasses a plot of approximately 6,500 m², formerly home to an olive oil mill which was destroyed by fire. This area includes several buildings: a single-storey café/bar with kitchen and storage of approximately 215 m², another café/bar building of around 108 m² with lounge area and restrooms, and a 70 m² structure with storage and restroom facilities spread over two levels. Additionally, there is an 80 m² storage area beneath the parking facilities, along with outdoor spaces including a courtyard for parking, a central courtyard, and a summer terrace featuring a bar and stage.
With nearly 1,000 m² of built space, this extraordinary property boasts immense potential as a rural tourism destination, family home, or hospitality business, suitable for hosting events such as celebrations and outdoor activities.

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
