Properties like this rarely come onto the market. Set in the beautiful countryside of Villanueva de la Concepción, surrounded by rolling olive groves and spectacular mountain views, this unique project offers an extraordinary opportunity to create a high-end rural retreat exactly to your own vision. What makes this property truly exceptional is not the existing structure, but the permissions that come with it—permissions that are today almost impossible to obtain for new rural developments in Andalusia. A Project with Unlimited Potential After more than six years of planning, licensing and dealing with the Spanish authorities, the current owner has obtained all the necessary approvals to create a licensed six-apartment Casa Rural / Bed & Breakfast. Due to health reasons, the project can no longer be completed, creating a unique opportunity for a new owner to take over. Instead of renovating an outdated country house and working around existing limitations, you have the rare chance to complete a property built to modern luxury standards, choosing your own finishes, layout and design while benefiting from approvals that would be extremely difficult—if not impossible—to obtain today. A Rare Swimming Pool Licence One of the property's greatest assets is the licence for a 16 x 3.5 metre swimming pool (or a smaller version if preferred). Obtaining permission for a pool of this size in rural Andalusia has become exceptionally difficult, making this an invaluable feature that will significantly enhance both the appeal and future value of the property. Imagine a luxury countryside retreat where guests can relax beside a stunning lap pool while enjoying uninterrupted panoramic views across the Andalusian landscape. Designed for a Successful Hospitality Business The approved project allows for the creation of six independent guest apartments, making it ideal for: Boutique Bed & Breakfast Luxury Casa Rural Wellness or Yoga Retreat Cycling or Hiking Hotel Culinary or Wine Tourism Corporate Retreats Multi-generational family estate The flexibility of six self-contained apartments opens numerous business opportunities while also allowing owners to retain private accommodation if desired. Infrastructure Already in Place Unlike many rural projects, this property already benefits from: Mains electricity Mains water supply Approximately 340 m² of authorised construction Nearly 20,000 m² of land Around 200–250 productive olive trees Much of the groundwork has already been completed, dramatically reducing the complexity of bringing the project to completion. The remaining investment is estimated at approximately €200,000, allowing the new owner to finish the property to their own taste and quality standards—creating a bespoke development that would cost considerably more to build from scratch today. Excellent Location Although surrounded by nature and complete tranquillity, the property enjoys excellent accessibility. Villanueva de la Concepción – approximately 8 km Pastelero – approximately 5 km Málaga International Airport – around 40 minutes Costa del Sol beaches – around 40 minutes The location is perfectly positioned for visitors wishing to explore some of Andalusia's most spectacular natural attractions, including El Torcal Natural Park, El Caminito del Rey, Antequera and the surrounding white villages. Everything You Need to Finish the Project An additional advantage is the excellent local support network. The original builder is located just two streets away, while architects, tradespeople and suppliers are all within easy reach, making completion of the project straightforward and efficient. A Rare Investment Opportunity Finding a rural property where you can legally create six tourist apartments, build a large swimming pool, enjoy mains utilities and still personalise the final design is becoming increasingly rare in Andalusia. Whether your vision is a luxury rural hotel, an exclusive wellness retreat or a remarkable private estate with guest accommodation, this property provides an exceptional foundation on which to build. Estimated investment to complete: approximately €200,000. Opportunities like this are exceptionally difficult to replicate today, making this an outstanding investment for anyone looking to create something truly special in one of Andalusia's most beautiful countryside locations.
