Country house in Colmenar, Malaga

This five-bedroom cortijo sits near Colmenar in the Malaga countryside, on an exceptional plot of over 20 hectares (202,021 m²). The house has 260 m² of built space and a quiet setting with mountain views. It faces east and south.

The accommodation comprises a living room, kitchen, five bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus a terrace for enjoying the views. There is also a storage room and ample parking for several cars. The land is planted with almond and olive trees and has two wells and an electricity supply.

The property has been partly renovated, but a large part still needs work. It is sold unfurnished and has no fitted kitchen. That makes it an ideal blank canvas for a buyer who wants to finish it to their own taste. With five bedrooms, four bathrooms and so much land, it is well suited to a bed and breakfast or rural tourism venture. It would equally suit a large family home in the Andalusian hills.
