Granada Houses Estate Agency offers you this unique opportunity to purchase an original Andalucian cortijo. This lovely property sits on a large plot of land covered with olive trees and has wonderful views over the countryside and towards part of lake Iznajar (when the lake is full). There is mains water and electricity and the nearest town of Zagra is a 10 minute drive away. The property is accessed first by a tarmac covered road and then by a good track, the first part cemented and closer to the house compacted dirt track. There are two original threshing circles (era) close to the house. These circles are protected as part of the history of Spanish farming and are a wonderful addition to the land. The footprint of the property is a large rectangle with the main house on two sides, another stable, an internal patio, and on the other side store rooms and another bread oven. The other end of the rectangle are large original doors that open out onto the land. In front of the house is one of two original bread ovens and store room for reform. There is a stone floored terrace covered with a grapevine in front of the house and to the right of this is a large stable. The main house is in good condition and roughly L shaped. There are many original flag stone floors, wood beamed ceilings, and original doors, little alcoves and two fireplaces. You can go up one staircase, walk through the upper floor and come down another staircase. The house needs a kitchen and bathroom installing and the outer store rooms and stables need reforming. A sensitive restoration would give you a unique, beautiful and important farmhouse with sensational views and a productive olive farm.
