Cortijo Arabe — Country House for sale in Almanzora, Almeria

About this property

Tucked away in a peaceful setting on the edge of the countryside and just a 25-30 minute walk from both Cantoria & Almanzora, this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property blends traditional Andalusian charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. With Moorish design elements throughout, lush tropical gardens, and a private pool, the home offers a tranquil retreat with character and warmth.

Set on a fully landscaped plot partially enclosed by decorative walled gardens, the property is just steps from the Via Verde – one of Spain’s converted former railway routes now used for walking and cycling, offering direct access to some of the region’s most scenic landscapes.

A private driveway leads to the property’s grand double wooden doors which open into a stunning mature landscaped garden planted with a wide range or fruit trees, native plants, palms and flowering shrubs. In the garden you'll find a shaded patio and several seating areas, creating a lovely space for outdoor dining or quiet relaxation. To one side of the garden sits a detached casita with its own terrace – perfect as guest accommodation or a fourth bedroom – along with a separate storeroom/workshop. The private pool area is surrounded by lush gardens and offers high levels of privacy along with fantastic mountain views.

Inside, the home opens into a bright and spacious kitchen-diner. Light pours into the space, where a large central island and marble worktops give both practicality and style. Floor-to-ceiling mirrors on the far wall enhance the sense of space and reflect the natural light, creating an elegant focal point. From the kitchen, you can step into a netted enclosure currently used as an aviary – ideal to convert into a covered dining area.

The main living area flows from the kitchen into a bright sunroom currently used as a dining room and office space, with arched doors that open to the garden. A separate lounge offers a cosy space to unwind, complete with a log burner for cooler evenings.

Also on the ground floor is the master bedroom, which includes its own walk-in wardrobe/dressing area. A guest WC and a stylish bathroom with walk-in shower and free standing bath are accessed from the hallway off the kitchen.

A feature staircase with spot lighting leads to two further double bedrooms upstairs, all with bespoke arched wooden doors and plenty of natural light. A second bathroom upstairs includes a walk-in shower with brass fittings and a modern vanity unit.

The home sits in a tropical-style garden planted with banana, papaya, orange, lemon, and nispero trees, providing both shade and privacy around the pool and seating areas. Ceiling fans, wall-mounted heaters, and a combination of pellet and log burners ensure comfort year-round. The home is fitted with double-glazed windows, mains water and electricity, internet connection, a water softener, gas boiler, and excellent overall insulation.

A rare bonus to this property is the potential for business or investment – it is being offered either on its own or in combination with the neighbouring property, known as Cortijo Africa - AH14307 (http://ahom.es/14307), offering a luxury home and a high-end rental opportunity side by side. There's also a separate plot to the front of the property included in the sale. If you are interested in purchasing both the details are as follows:(Cortijo Sahara - AH14308 - http://ahom.es/14308).

Located just five minutes by car or a 25-30 minute walk from both Cantoria & Almanzora towns, and only a 10 minute drive from Albox with its full range of supermarkets and services, this home offers a peaceful lifestyle without sacrificing accessibility.
