About this place
Set above the mountain village of Bérchules, this beautifully constructed cortijo enjoys sweeping views along the valley and, on clear days, as far as the Mediterranean Sea. Positioned in a peaceful and elevated setting, the property provides privacy, open skies, and productive land with abundant water. Built approximately 12 years ago by the current owners, the house combines traditional Alpujarran character with high modern construction standards, including full wall, floor and roof insulation, double glazing throughout, and a solar power system.
Access is via a well-maintained track and concrete road, easily navigable by standard vehicle, reaching the property in around ten minutes from the village. Double iron gates open onto a large parking area beside the house. The entrance leads into a welcoming hall and into a spacious lounge featuring a rustic fireplace with an integrated wood burner. Warm air circulates via vents into both the living room and kitchen, enhancing comfort during the cooler months. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke wooden cabinetry, marble worktops, traditional wall tiles, and modern appliances, as well as a generous pantry/storage unit. Wood-panelled and beamed ceilings run throughout the property, reinforcing its rustic charm.
The accommodation includes three to four bedrooms: two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a large main bedroom with wardrobes and a wood burner, and a smaller fourth bedroom with plumbing in place, suitable for conversion into an additional bathroom or en-suite. A family bathroom features a shower, WC, and basin, with an accompanying utility room that has a basin and storage. A slate-tiled terrace runs along the front of the property and continues as a pathway around the house. To the rear is a substantial stone-clad wood store incorporating storage space, a generator room, and a cloakroom with WC and wash basin.
The surrounding land is gently sloping and ideal for cultivation. A large water reservoir distributes water via installed pipes to different areas of the finca, supporting agricultural use. The property is connected to mains water and operates on solar power. Bérchules is a traditional Alpujarran village offering small shops, cafés, and everyday services. The wider region of the Alpujarras is known for its mountain landscapes, walking routes, and unspoilt white villages. The coast can be reached within comfortable driving distance, while Granada city remains accessible for wider services and transport links.

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
