There is a self contained one bed studio property of approximately 60 m2 with shower room situated south of the main house. Ideal for guests. Between the two properties lies a 6 x 3 m swimming pool with Roman steps.

Land, Water, Solar Power and Generator

The total amount of land is 17 hectares (170,000 m2). It borders the Los Alcornocales Natural Park and is a quite stunning location.

There is mains water pumped to the property. In addition, most of the power is solar – sufficient to operate the swimming pool pump, and heating and hot water requirements for one or two people. In addition, there is a diesel powered generator which has hardly been used. Part of the land, approximately 500 m2, is currently fenced off as a quadrant / paddock for horses. There are many cork trees and it is a wonderful, peaceful location.

The land is relatively flat and offers views towards San Pablo de Buceite and Gaucin to the east, and west towards the hills of Jimena de la Frontera. It is possible to build a further dew pond for irrigation and there is a natural dip in the land which would be ideal for this purpose. Access to the property is via a dirt track which runs alongside the border to the Los Alcornocales Natural Park. As such, it goes without saying that this is a wonderful area for rambling and bird watching.

Fully Legalised Land and Property

All of the paperwork has been notarised and registered. IBI is approximately 600€ per year for the residential space. It is also of the minimum legal requirement to permit residential accommodation and can be bought separately for 955,000€. We strongly recommend visiting this lovely location to fully appreciate what is on offer.
