About this place
This attractive single-storey cortijo enjoys a private yet accessible position not far from Cástaras in the heart of the Alpujarras. The house, measuring approximately 87 m², is set within an impressive 36,000 m² of largely flat and gently undulating land, offering ample space, beautiful views, and excellent potential for development.
The building is structurally sound and ready to move into, although some internal updating could enhance the property further. The entrance opens into a living and dining room featuring an open fireplace. Adjacent to this space is a functional kitchen equipped with a cooker and double stainless-steel sink. The layout includes a bright double bedroom with dual-aspect windows, a good-sized room currently used as a dining area, another double bedroom, and a family bathroom.
A separate 55 m² workshop/garage stands to one side of the property, incorporating a water deposit. This workshop includes a large covered porch and shelving for storage, making it ideal for tools, equipment, or hobby use. The immediate land is flat and planted with various shrubs and trees, offering both sunny and shaded areas with expansive views of the surrounding mountains and nearby villages. The remaining gently undulating land is partly irrigated and planted with olive and almond trees, and a small solar system is currently installed, with potential for upgrading. Cástaras is a traditional Alpujarran village known for its peaceful atmosphere, with basic amenities including small shops and café-bars. Larger towns such as Cádiar provide supermarkets, a health centre, a pharmacy, schools, and other everyday services. The region is renowned for its walking routes, unspoilt landscapes, and relaxed pace of life, with the Mediterranean coast and historic city of Granada within comfortable driving distance.

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
