About this place
This traditional two-storey 5-bedroom, 1-bath semi-detached cortijo has a total build area of 232 m², located in a quaint hamlet just a short 5-6 minute drive from the town of Chirivel. Chirivel provides all the necessities for daily living, while the larger historical town of Velez Rubio offers a wider range of shops, banks, bars, and a 24-hour health centre, also within a 5-6 minute drive.
The property enjoys easy access to the A92-N Murcia-Granada motorway, leading to Granada and the Sierra Nevada ski resort in one direction and the E15/A7 coastal motorway in the other, making it easy to reach the airports of Almería, Murcia, and Alicante. Coastal resorts such as Águilas (Murcia), San Juan de Los Terreros, Vera, and Mojácar (Almería) are all within an hour's drive.
Selling with a plot of land in front of the house measuring 105 m² and an additional smaller plot of 76 m², this cortijo boasts a spacious front terrace perfect for enjoying the stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The front door opens into a cosy living and dining room with a fireplace, leading to a traditional Spanish kitchen, complete with a gas oven, hob, fridge/freezer, and a second fireplace, providing plenty of potential for modernisation.
The ground floor includes a spacious bedroom and a separate room leading to a shower room. Ascending the staircase, you'll find a mezzanine area and additional potential living spaces, highlighted by traditional exposed wooden beams throughout. Outside, ample parking space is available, and mains water and electricity are connected, making it an ideal retreat for those looking for a peaceful country lifestyle.

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
