description

Located in the heart of Las Alpujarras, in the traditional mountain village of Busquístar, this substantial village house is a fine example of classic Alpujarreña architecture, offering character, flexibility and a rare layout with three independent street entrances. Built over three main levels plus the traditional “terrao”, the property has evolved organically over time, creating a home with multiple living areas and the potential for a variety of uses — from a large family residence to a home with independent guest accommodation or even a mixed residential and social space. The ground floor currently comprises three bedrooms, including one with an en-suite shower room, two further double bedrooms, a pantry cleverly positioned beneath the staircase, and a generous storage room. This additional space, presently used as a store, could easily be repurposed as a workshop, studio, wine cellar or any other functional area to suit the new owner’s vision. On the first floor, the house opens into a living-dining room with a fireplace and balcony, a natural gathering space that reflects the social heart of the home. A separate kitchen, two further bedrooms, a full bathroom with bathtub, a laundry room and an additional room suitable as a home office or study complete this level. One of the independent entrances leads to a former bar area, a unique feature that gives the property exceptional character. This space includes its own lounge area and could be retained as a social room, converted into a guest suite, or transformed into a creative or related space, all while remaining independent from the main living areas. The attic level, currently used for storage, provides access to a covered terrace and the upper terrao. In traditional Alpujarreña homes, the terrao is a flat rooftop space finished in natural materials, historically used for drying produce and everyday outdoor living. Today, it offers a privileged place to enjoy open skies, fresh mountain air and beautiful views over the surrounding mountains and the village itself. The house is sold fully furnished and has all mains services connected, allowing for immediate use while also offering scope for personalisation. Busquístar is a peaceful and welcoming village, known for its authenticity, community life and stunning natural surroundings. With its whitewashed houses, narrow streets and proximity to walking trails and nature, it perfectly embodies the relaxed rhythm and timeless charm of life in Las Alpujarras.
