Perched in the Sierra de la Contraviesa, just above the picturesque whitewashed village of Torvizcón, this cortijo offers a unique opportunity to embrace the authentic Andalusian lifestyle surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of the Alpujarras. The property combines the charm of a traditional country home with the comforts of a carefully renovated interior, making it ready to move into and enjoy from the very first day. The property benefits from a private entrance and excellent access—rare for homes in this mountainous region. The south-facing orientation ensures light throughout the day and allows you to enjoy both the warmth of the sun and the stunning views. On clear days, the blue shimmer of the Mediterranean Sea can be seen in the distance, while all around are rolling hills, rugged peaks, and the ever-changing colors of the Andalusian countryside. The cortijo itself measures 101 m² and has been fully renovated, blending traditional rustic style with practical modern features. At its heart is a spacious, open-plan living area where a fully equipped kitchen flows into the dining and lounge space. Here, a wood-burning stove creates a cozy focal point during the cooler months, making the home suitable for year-round living. The house offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, each filled with natural light, as well as a family bathroom. The property is being sold furnished, offering a turn-key solution for those seeking a second home, holiday retreat, or permanent residence in southern Spain. Outdoor living is an integral part of life in the Alpujarras, and this cortijo offers plenty of possibilities. Directly in front of the house, a large flat area invites the creation of a covered porch—perfect for shaded summer meals or long evenings outdoors. There is more than enough space for a terrace with a dining table and chairs, where you can sit back, enjoy the peace and quiet, and take in the extraordinary scenery that surrounds the property. The land itself enhances the sense of place and self-sufficiency. The plot is planted with mature almond trees, fig trees, a handful of olive trees, and pomegranates, offering not only seasonal harvests but also a connection to the agricultural traditions of the region. The property is supplied with mains water, while electricity is provided by solar panels, ensuring a sustainable and reliable setup. This cortijo is much more than a house—it is an invitation to a way of life. Whether you are looking for a retreat immersed in nature, a family home with space and privacy, or a base from which to explore the enchanting landscapes of the Alpujarras, this property delivers. It combines natural beauty, comfort, and authenticity in one of Andalusia’s most timeless settings.
