Cortijo Los Nogales Location : Poquiera Valley Ref : BSE166 €490.000 Click to convert to £ Sterling A rare opportunity to buy a secluded country estate with business potential, set high up in the natural park of the Poquiera valley. In summary the property comprises a main house, 2 cottages, stables, and over 5 hectares of land.
The property is located at about 1600 metres of altitude on the mountainside opposing the popular villages of Bubion and Capileira. Access is via an unmade track and takes about 25 minutes from the nearest surfaced road for which a 4x4 car is preferable, but not essential. Both Orgiva and Capileira are about a 40 minute drive door to door.
The main house is about 160 m2 built and comprises a large open plan living room/dining room/kitchen, a bathroom, 3 bedrooms with 1 ensuite, a large covered porch, and a utility room. The driveway area provides parking for up to 4 cars. Externally the house is surrounded by patios and mature gardens, and there is a large outbuilding currently used as stabling for up to 6 horses. A spring feeds a large water deposit which is also perfect for use as a swimming pool. Power is provided by a full solar power system, water for the house is provided by a year round spring, and water is heated via a solar water heating system backed by propane.
Nearby the main house are the 2 semi-detached cottages, one of which has 2 double bedrooms and the other 1 double bedroom. Both have living areas, wood burning stoves, small kitchens and access to outside patio areas. They have been converted using traditional Alpujarran building techniques and rustic styling. The cottages are sold fully equiped and furnished for a rental business.
Adjacent to the cottages is the ruin of an old cortijo which has a footprint of over 100 m2. The existence of the ruin could be used to support a planning application for an additional cottage or other building of the same size. Permits permitting, this could easily therefore become an additional 3 bedroom cottage.
The land that comes with the property totals about 5 hectares ( approximately 12 acres ) and includes many mature trees, fields suitable for grazing animals, an orchard, vegetable gardens, a chicken run, and plenty of wilderness. The spring that supplies water to the property is constant, clean and heavy flowing. The property also has rights to access water from the local irrigation system ( know locally as the "acequia" system ).
The views from the land are spectacular. Northwards one can see the peaks of Mulhacen and Veleta mountains which are snow-capped for much of the year, to the east one can see the beautiful whitewashed villages of Capileira and Bubion, and southwards a distant sea view and on the clearest days of the year the Rif mountains of Morocco.
Rural properties as idylic as this rarely come onto the market so early viewing is recommended.
