Cortijo Africa — Country House for sale in Almanzora, Almeria

About this property

Located just five minutes by car or a 25–30 minute walk from both Cantoria and Almanzora, and only a 10-minute drive from Albox with its full range of supermarkets and essential services, this unique home offers tranquillity and space in the heart of the Almerían countryside—without feeling remote.

This beautifully renovated and spacious property has been finished to a high standard, with subtle nods to African design and culture throughout. The result is a warm, inviting home that’s full of character, yet practical and comfortable for everyday living.

At the front of the property, a tastefully tiled double parking area leads to a short flight of steps and the main entrance. The welcoming hallway opens directly into a bright and expansive kitchen-diner. French doors offer views out to one of the three generously sized terraces, blending indoor and outdoor living with ease.

Off the kitchen, a hallway leads to the first of the ground floor terraces. Opposite this is a spacious wet room with quality fittings, and further along is a separate storage room. At the end of the hall is a well-proportioned double bedroom, easily accommodating a king-sized bed and additional furniture.

Through a rustic archway from the kitchen, you’ll find a separate office and sitting area with vaulted ceilings and a ceiling fan—ideal for working from home or simply relaxing. From here, step into the main lounge, an eclectic and comfortable space with a built-in log burner set within an original fireplace, and a picture window framing one of the garden areas.

An antique door from the lounge leads up to a large, bright bedroom with its own private en-suite shower room. This en-suite is particularly striking, with a clever glass panel bringing in natural light from above, and a glass wall separating it from a dedicated gym or exercise area. French doors from the gym open directly onto a second terrace—perfect for morning stretches or evening yoga with a view.

In total, there are three spacious terraces, each thoughtfully designed with high-quality tiling and consistent style. The terraces can be accessed from the kitchen, the ground floor hallway, or directly from the upstairs bedroom. The top roof terrace, the largest of the three, offers stunning, uninterrupted views across the Almanzora valley and surrounding countryside.

The home benefits from high vaulted ceilings in most rooms, double-glazed aluminium windows with shutters, and wall-mounted electric heaters throughout. Water, electricity and internet are connected, and some of the furniture may be negotiable.

This exceptional property sits adjacent to Cortijo Arabe - AH14306 (http://ahom.es/14306). While both are available to purchase separately, they may also be purchased together (Cortijo Sahara - AH14308 - http://ahom.es/14308) —offering an excellent opportunity for extended family living, guest accommodation or even a luxury rental business.
