Set in over 14 acres of land populated with beautiful almond trees, offering peace, nature and fresh, mountain air, within a short drive of Colmenar town and with very easy access.
It is close to Antequera (35 minutes) and 30 minutes to Malaga city and the coast.
Also nearby are beautiful mountain walking trails such as the Pena Negra and Sierra de Camarolos walks.
All around are the views of the rocky mountains and countryside and even a very distant glimpse of the sea.
A lovely road leads through the trees to the gates of the property, where there is an extensive, completely flat area to park many cars.
There is also a huge 'era', an ancient, stone built threshing area where wheat was once beaten to release the corn.
The house, sitting well within the plot, is surrounded by the almond trees, which in late January burst into bloom, looking more like snow than flowers, followed by the verdant green of the leaves in the Spring and Summer.
The almond farm produces around 15,000 kgs per year. It is possible to look after the farm directly, although the current owners use a local farmer.
The land is extremely fertile and produces beautiful vegetables, and so would be ideal for anyone wishing to try a more self sufficient life - indeed the balance of accessibility, stunning countryside, natural surroundings and fertile land makes this not only an ideal place for this type of lifestyle, but a practical one too.
There is also farming equipment available for purchase .
There is no pool but a Jacuzzi or an above ground pool would be possible.
The house is all on one level, with a pergola terrace to the front (South facing) of 23m2. From here, the front door leads into an open plan living area (34.4m2) which incorporates the living room with wood burner, dining area and the fully fitted kitchen, beautifully restored, respecting many aspects of the original building.
A central opening in the rear wall leads to the two bedrooms on either side (12.4m2 and 10.15m2) and the bathroom in between the two (5.65m2).
Next door, and adjoining one side of the house, is the barn, a beautiful space of 48.3m2 with gabled roof and original beams. This area could be added to the house (to create extra bedrooms, or for guest accommodation), and indeed, there are two blocked-in doorways from within the house leading directly into the barn.
The barn would also work well as a studio for music, teaching, physical activities, arts and crafts, yoga, etc.
This beautiful cortijo has mains electricity and local mains water from the local country community, supplying completely fresh mountain water, for free, to the house.
There is solar hot water at the property.
The house has a new, regulation septic tank and is sold with the DAFO certificate in process.

Buying a Property in Spain
1. Putting down a Holding Deposit
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner. This part of the process is not binding. We would recommend using an independent English speaking legal advisor. Once a purchase price has been agreed, normally a holding or reserve deposit will be required to ensure the property is removed from the market. The sum required will vary between properties and will be based on the purchase price. A time limit for the preagreement to be signed will be arranged and there will also be legal checks to be made.
2. Setting up a Pre-agreement (Contrato privado de compraventa)
The pre-agreement will set out the conditions under which the Buyer and Seller agree to complete the purchase of the property and the price they have agreed upon. Relevant details will generally be included for example the property details, purchase price and the date for completion. A deposit will be required at this point, this will vary, but will generally be 10% of the agreed price. This agreement will include a penal clause if the sale does not go through. If the seller pulls out of the sale your compensation will be double the deposit you have paid, but if you decide not to go through with the sale then your deposit will be lost. Certain checks will need to be made before signing the contract, checks should be made against the title of the property, mortgage status and if the property has any debts held against it. The planning status should also be looked into. These conditions can be varied by the seller and the buyer and other types of agreement can be made.
3. The Contract (Escritura de compraventa)
Before a non-Spanish purchaser can buy a Spanish property they will need to have set up a Spanish bank account and obtained a Spanish tax number (NIE). The completion will take place in the presence of a Notary Public. This is a Spanish public official, by law the deed of sale must be witnessed by a Notary Public. You will also need your own independent, expert legal advisor to act on your behalf. On Completion the buyer must pay the balance, that is the price agreed after the deposit has been deducted, plus any other fees on the completion date. Both buyer and seller must sign the Escritura de compraventa contract, (this is the Spanish equivalent of the title deeds). The title deeds (escritura) will be given to the buyer, this will be done in the presence of a Notary Public, they will certify that the transfer has taken place. The tax office will be sent a copy and the property registry will be informed of the transfer.
