Cortijo Whisper — Country House for sale in Albox, Almeria

About this property

This expansive detached country house offers over 500 m² of built space, set on a generous approx. 1,872 m² plot in a peaceful rural setting. With its size, layout, and potential, the property is ideal for those looking to create a rural B&B or a spacious family home.

The plot is partly fenced and gated, with ample parking, a garden area, and a large terrace paved with natural local marble. The land in front of the house slopes down to a vegetable-growing area, which could be transformed with an infinity-style pool, taking advantage of the natural difference in levels.

The house has three separate entrances, making it easy to divide into different sections. Upon entering the main entrance, you step into a cosy living room with a wood burner, leading into a large modern kitchen. Off the kitchen is a huge garage with an open fire, offering potential to be converted into a self-contained apartment.

Back in the lounge, a door leads to a spacious area that once operated as a bar-restaurant. This space could serve as additional living space or a breakfast area for guests. Off this room, there is a small bedroom and a bathroom. A hallway from the bar area leads to a large dining room on one side and a double bedroom and shower room on the other. The hall then connects to a second garage, which in turn leads to another kitchen and a bedroom with an en-suite shower room.

A staircase from the ground-floor garage leads up to the first floor, where there are seven bedrooms, a bathroom, a utility room, and two large unfinished rooms—both offering excellent potential for self-contained apartments. One of the rooms has access to an exterior staircase, further enhancing its possibilities. There is also a balcony on this floor.

The second floor features two additional rooms and access to a vast roof terrace with stunning views over the surrounding countryside.

The property benefits from mains electricity, while water is supplied via irrigation water from a well into a large water deposit. Access is via tarmac road, with the final 1.2 km being along a rambla (dry riverbed).

Situated within a 5-minute drive (3.3 km) from a bar-restaurant and petrol station, 7-minute drive (4.4 km) to a small supermarket, 8-minute drive (4.9 km) to the historic Saliente Monastery, 8-minute drive (5.1 km) to the village of Las Pocicas, and a 20-minute drive (15.9 km) from Albox town for full amenities.

With its vast space, adaptable layout, and stunning surroundings, this property offers a fantastic opportunity for a rural business venture or a unique countryside retreat.
