About this place
This remarkable detached Andalusian cortijo spans two storeys and currently comprises five spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms, with an additional three rooms upstairs awaiting your finishing touch. These additional spaces could easily be transformed into three extra bedrooms, two of which could be ensuite, making it perfect for larger families or guests.
Attached to the main house is a tastefully converted large garage, serving as a studio apartment with ample living space, a shower room, and potential kitchen area, ideal for a guest suite or as a separate living space. Traditional features, including exposed wooden beams, create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.
Outside, a stunning private walled courtyard beckons for al fresco dining with its built-in bread oven and barbecue. Accompanying this area are a large storeroom and a room housing a substantial 12,000-litre emergency water tank. Additionally, the property boasts an over-ground water deposit (balsa), easily adaptable into a swimming pool.

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
