    This single-storey cortijo is in a beautiful location with far-reaching views over rolling hills and, although it is in a rural spot, there are neighbours and so the property does not feel completely isolated. 

    The original, solid cortijo (built in 1925) has been extended and it sits on a useful, flat plot of land with several olive trees and a small copse of holm oaks.

    The property has not been used for the best part of 5 years, and it has suffered as a consequence. However, the basis is here to create a magical, peaceful oasis in the heart of the Andalucian countryside within easy reach of the towns of Montefrio and Alcalá la Real.

    Accommodation

    The front door opens into a large open-plan living room/kitchen with an open fire and plenty of room for storage. The beamed ceiling is high and the room is cool in the summer and cosy in the winter, and there is a lovely tiled floor throughout.

    Three large bedrooms, and spacious shower room. Separate store room.

    Outside the front door, there is a terrace and pool, both of which now need some attention. Around the back of the house, a staircase leads up to a generous roof terrace that provides views in every direction.

    In addition to the main accommodation, the property has a collection of outhouses that include 2 garages and storage space. This could all be converted or rebuilt on the existing footprint to provide additional accommodation of a self-contained annexe.

    There is a water deposit, although mains water has now been provided to the area and it just needs to be connected to the property. Mains electricity has also been brought to the house and just needs to be connected from the pylon on the edge of the property.

    This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a blank-canvas cortijo in its own plot of land with all the basic ingredients, and create a very special place in glorious surroundings.

The BBC One programme, ‘Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job’ was filmed across Andalucia throughout the summer of 2024. Amanda Holden and Alan Carr bought an abandoned village house in Moclín through Granada Village & Country, and the historic village was the main focus for the programme, following Alan and Amanda’s progress as they restored the property.

‘Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job’ will be shown on BBC One in January 2025 and will be available on iPlayer.

The restored property will be available for sale through Granada Village & Country, and featured on Rightmove, at the end of the series.
