Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Bayacas, part of Órgiva in the heart of Las Alpujarras, this authentic Alpujarran cortijo captures the essence of rural Andalusian living. Just a ten-minute drive from Órgiva, the property offers the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience, surrounded by open skies, fertile land, and the timeless beauty of the Alpujarra landscape. Built in traditional style, with thick whitewashed walls and exposed wooden ceiling beams, the cortijo exudes characte. These are homes designed to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter, rooted in centuries of architectural wisdom. The property is thoughtfully divided into two completely independent living spaces, each with its own private entrance, making it ideal for extended family, guests, or potential rental income. The first cortijo offers a living room centered around a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months. A separate kitchen, one bedroom, and a bathroom complete this comfortable and intimate home. The second cortijo features a living area with a fireplace and an open-concept kitchen, giving the space a slightly more contemporary feel while preserving its rustic soul. It also includes one bedroom and a bathroom, offering privacy and autonomy equal to the first dwelling. The land extends over 2,610 m² of flat, usable terrain — a rare and valuable feature in this mountainous region. The grounds are planted with a variety of mature fruit trees, along with almond and olive trees, providing seasonal harvests and a deep connection to the agricultural traditions of the area. The setting invites a self-sufficient lifestyle, gardening projects, or simply the enjoyment of wide, open space. A few metres from the main cortijos lies an additional flat plot of approximately 600 m², home to a ruin awaiting restoration. This presents an exciting opportunity for expansion, whether as further accommodation, a studio, or a creative retreat — subject, of course, to the relevant permissions. The property benefits from private access and excellent road connections, ensuring easy year-round accessibility without sacrificing tranquillity. This is more than a property; it is a chance to embrace an authentic Alpujarran way of life — peaceful, grounded, and rich in character — all within easy reach of the vibrant community and amenities of Órgiva.
