About this place
This traditional Andalusian cortijo spans 153 m² and is set in the heart of a remarkable 98,740 m² productive farm in Canillas de Aceituno. The property is accessed via a short dirt track from Puente Don Manuel, Alcaucín, ensuring a serene escape amid beautiful countryside views.
The cortijo features thick walls, impressive wooden beams, and a large entrance porch leading into a welcoming lounge-dining room complete with a fireplace. This space opens to two double bedrooms to the front and a multi-purpose room to the right, which has been used variously as a bedroom, wine barrel store, and kitchen. Historically, the estate has produced wine from its productive vineyards, and it also accommodates goats and numerous olive and almond trees.
Additional highlights include an oven for baking bread and ample space for further development. Although the property is serene, it remains conveniently located just 30 minutes from the beach and an hour's drive from Malaga, making it ideal for those seeking a rural retreat with potential for agricultural endeavors or a comfortable family home.

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
