200 Year old Property Jimena de la Frontera.

Exceptional opportunity to own this fantastic, mimimum 200 year old, village property. It is a 4/5 bed 3 bath set in the heart of the old quarter and in fantastic condition. Its stone walls offer warmth in winter and coolness in summer; the front door leads into one of the most famous streets in Jimena and the back door has the countryside on its doorstep. It is full of nooks and crannies, with traditional apex supporting beams and rooms that amplify the living space with studio space and zones currently dedicated as either a work-space aka ‘shed’, (actually part of the house, not set apart) or a design studio.

Large property with various rooms

This well proportioned property is deceptively large, almost like a tardus and bigger than many villas at 277 m2 with terrace of 20 m2. There is parking at the back and you can enter the property this was as well. It takes you to the patio at basement level, with the work-space bedecked with tools on your left. It is also where the gas bottles are housed as well as laundry facilities. Basement space has been well utilised with living space for yoga or a fitness room. The steps up to the kitchen and sitting room are delightful in their non uniform sizes – once more emphasising the splendour of this property. The kitchen leads straight ahead to the sitting room or turning left you find yourself in the space dedicated as a design studio – currently with 4 sewing machines in situ. Looking from the back, stairs to the left of the kitchen and sitting room lead up to the bedrooms and several chill zones.

Wonderfully restored home

The overall experience is a delight which beguiles and charms, it even has its own spring water well. (Closed up by the previous proprietor). Current owners have enjoyed and revelled in this property since 2004 and now wish to downsize. They are motivated sellers who have priced the property to encourage viewings. We strongly suggest that you do so – you will not be disappointed. It is in impeccable condition.

IBI 372.22 € per annum.

Colmenar Cortes 3 bed finca

August 4, 2022

Reduced to 465,000,00€

Off-grid home seeks new custodian.

Turnkey fully furnished property in Colmenar forest. This is a 3 bed, 3 bath finca of 1.1 hectares (11,000 m2) with space for non-permanent structures such as Yurts or Tepees. The main house is a single storey, raised roof bungalow of 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 open planned living room-kitchens. Each half connects to the large outdoor terrace via its own front door. If 2 independent living quarters were preferred, there is a connecting door.

A large terrace looks out due south to the mountains opposite and between them lie vistas of Africa. At night, look up, the sky is a vast expanse of stars unveiled and sparkling. To the right of the terrace is a pool and a 15 m2 covered chill zone/tea room that has a Moroccan feel to it.

In addition, at the bottom of the grounds is a separate studio with storage, living and sleeping area plus kitchen and bathroom of approximately 50 m2.

Very near to this little house is an imitation First Nations Medicine Wheel and an amazing stone sculpture of an iguana built from two large boulders to form the head and other stones of various sizes placed to create steps representing the flanks and legs.

Eco Culture Lifestyle Choice

During 23 years, the owners have transformed this estate into a permaculture of exceptional beauty. The finca is self-sufficient in many aspects. Apart from an annual run, to stock up on staples such as pulses and grains, the owners can stay here for months on end. An overall tropical feel, with frangipani flowers, tamarind trees and over 20 varieties of palm trees. There is an organic cornucopia of herbs, spices, fruit and vegetables all grown here: smoky cherry-tomatoes, elderberry, macadamias, mangos, mulberries and the amazing San Pedro cactus, to name but a few. Absolutely remarkable. Water is abundant. In summer they use around 10,000 litres daily of fresh spring water which is pumped from a bore hole and from an ancient spring used over millennia. Living off grid, they have 2 x 10,000 litre storage tanks for water and 12 solar panels which power 230 volts for day time usage and 12 watts for night time to disconnect from the hum. In addition they have a back-up petrol generator that they have almost never used. ADSL internet is via radio waves and both homes have washing machines and all necessary mod cons for 21^st century living.

Colmenar Cork Oak Forest

This is a very special property located in the heart of the Los Alcornocales Forest in Colmenar, Cortes. It would suit those who like being away from the madding crowd and have hidden depths of resources to call upon. You do not need to be a recluse or a hermit to live here, but the land must be maintained all year round. Naturally, it is such an exceptional place that it requires exceptional owners who in turn attract exceptional friends. The degree of separation depends on what you need and want. The village of Colmenar is within walking distance and there are lovely restaurants and a river beach there. Twenty minutes by car from there is the famous white village of Gaucín and if the coast calls you, it is a further 40 minutes’ drive.

Needs Permanent Presence

If it all sounds like bliss, arrange to view. If you would love to live there for a few months at a time, but your business does not allow you to disconnect for longer, consider employing permanent staff, and fly in when time allows. You need an off-grid / permaculture mentality for this to be a good fit. This will suit very few people, but may well be exactly what you have been waiting for. Only ~~550,000~~€ 465,000€

One Bed Cottage San Pablo

June 4, 2022

Now Sold

Small Cottage San Pablo de Buceite

Reduced to 99,950.00€! From ~~115,000.00€~~ Pretty, one bed single storey property with a plot of 470 m2 in a quiet country lane east of the River Guadiaro in the Los Alcornocales natural park. The lane is surrounded by avocado fields and gently undulating hills. There is access to the river by walking along the lane for 20 minutes and cutting through the fields. A very privileged zone and when properties come up for sale here, they go fast.

Work on Roof Needed

Built area totals 133 m2. It is possible to build a total of 150 m2 and maximum of 2 storeys in this area. An en suite could be added where the back patio is and the bathroom could form another en suite for a second bedroom. Originally, this was a 2 bed but the current owners made the sitting room bigger and changed access to the bathroom. The shape can be kept as it is or reconfigured according to your wishes so long as you keep within the permitted metreage. The kitchen was originally an extension and they used corrugated roofing called ‘uralite’. This needs removing and replaced by tiles. Planning permission will not be a problem. There is some flexibility on price to take into account the need to fix the roof. Basically, get a quote and subtract it from asking price.

Space for a Swimming Pool

There is a garden with orange and lemon trees and also a back patio. Outdoor space is 337 m2 – this includes a storage area which was used as a dark room and has electricity connected. There is also a shed for tools etc.
