Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Tíjola, just a short drive from Órgiva, this charming cortijo offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of traditional Alpujarran architecture, surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the Sierra de Lújar and the fertile valley of Tíjola. The property consists of two distinct parts. The main house, fully restored and ready to move into, is a beautiful example of the region’s rustic charm, offering 164 m² of cozy and character-filled living space. Exposed wooden beams, thick whitewashed walls, and terracotta floors give the home an authentic Andalusian feel, while the layout provides both comfort and practicality. A generous front porch welcomes you into the home—a delightful outdoor space with barbecue area and a traditional wood-fired oven, perfect for al fresco dining while taking in the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. Inside, the home comprises a spacious living-dining room with a wood-burning fireplace, a rustic kitchen (also with its own fireplace), three bedrooms—one of which includes access to a private patio—and a family bathroom. Every room reflects the warmth and charm of rural living, with natural light and beautiful views at every turn. In addition to the main residence, the property includes several adjoining buildings in need of renovation, offering excellent potential for expansion, guest accommodation, or a creative studio. Importantly, the plot is officially classified as urban land, giving you greater flexibility for future development. A standout feature is the large 106 m² garage—rare for the area—which provides secure parking and generous storage space. The total built area across the property is 351 m². With easy road access, mains electricity and drinking water, and additional water supplied via traditional acequia irrigation, this property combines authentic rural living with essential modern amenities. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful permanent home, a holiday retreat, or a property with scope for business or rental income, this cortijo offers a unique and promising opportunity in the heart of the Alpujarras.
