There are beautiful houses, and there are houses that feel like home from the very first moment. This Andalusian cortijo offers both. The harmony of its spaces, the quality of the materials and the care invested in every detail reflect a renovation carried out with sensitivity and impeccable taste, where the charm of traditional Andalusian architecture meets the comfort and refinement of a contemporary high-end home.

Nestled in the heart of Llano de los Olleres, a small hamlet of Albox where life still moves at a gentle Andalusian pace, this exceptional property enjoys a peaceful setting between the vibrant market town of Albox and the mountain sanctuary of El Saliente.

The cortijo offers 248 m² of living space on a plot of 437 m² and was completely renovated in 2025. Every aspect of the property has been renewed while carefully preserving its original character. Handcrafted terracotta floors, bespoke carpentry and thoughtfully selected natural materials create a home that feels both timeless and welcoming.

Modern comforts have been seamlessly integrated throughout, including a beautifully designed swimming pool and high-quality installations, resulting in a property that is ready to enjoy from day one. Whether as a permanent residence or an elegant second home, this is a place where comfort, privacy and authenticity come together effortlessly.

Just a short drive from Albox and approximately 40 minutes from the beaches of Vera and Mojácar, the property offers the best of both worlds: the tranquillity of village life combined with easy access to amenities, restaurants and the Mediterranean coast.

The House

The renovation was guided by a clear philosophy: preserve the soul of the original cortijo while creating a home suited to modern living. As a result, the traditional layout remains intact, yet virtually every element of the property has been renewed, including the roofs, floors, ceilings, walls and installations.

A beautiful stable door opens into a welcoming entrance hall where handcrafted terracotta tiles and deep wall niches immediately set the tone. The thick original walls, measuring approximately 60 cm, provide both character and a sense of solidity rarely found in modern construction.

To the left lies the living room, a warm and inviting space centred around a wood-burning stove. The traditional windowopenings create a visual connection with the terrace and swimming pool.

Beyond the living room, a small hallway leads to two guest bedrooms and a bathroom. One of the bedrooms is currently used as a home office, offering flexibility for those wishing to work remotely or accommodate visitors.

The kitchen is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the property. Spacious, bright and designed for both everyday living and entertaining, it revolves around a beautiful 25 m² interior patio that fills the house with natural light. Bespoke cabinetry, a generous Dekton worktop, a striking marble sink, Bosch appliances and a premium Bora induction hob with integrated extraction combine practicality with understated luxury.

Occupying the entire upper floor, the principal suite offers a peaceful private retreat. High wooden ceilings enhance the sense of space, while views over both the patio and the pool create a pleasant connection with the rest of the property. The suite includes a dressing room with floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes and an elegant bathroom featuring both a walk-in shower and a freestanding bathtub.

Outdoor Living

Life at this cortijo is enjoyed as much outdoors as indoors.

Traditional wooden gates open from the street onto a beautifully enclosed terrace designed for relaxation and entertaining. At its centre lies an inviting saltwater swimming pool with outdoor shower, surrounded by terracotta paving and carefully planted borders.

A covered lounge area provides welcome shade during the warmer months, while the outdoor kitchen, complete with barbecue, grill, sink and refrigerator, creates the perfect setting for long lunches and relaxed evenings with family and friends.

Additional practical spaces include a technical room for the pool equipment and firewood storage, a separate laundry room with toilet, and an independent room currently used for storage. This space could easily become a fourth bedroom, guest suite, studio or hobby room.

At the heart of the home, the 25 m² internal patio provides a quiet and private outdoor space that is a favourite spot for morning coffee, outdoor breakfasts or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the property.

Quality & Comfort

The attention to detail throughout the renovation is immediately apparent.

All carpentry has been custom made. Entrance doors are crafted from hardwood, while all windows are fitted with shutters and mosquito screens. Wrought-iron balustrades and hardwood stair treads complement the traditional character of the property, while premium materials have been used throughout.

For year-round comfort, the property benefits from Mitsubishi hot and cold air conditioning and is connected to mains water and electricity.

A Home Designed to Enjoy

This is a cortijo designed for easy living. Its manageable plot size and low-maintenance outdoor areas make it equally attractive as a permanent residence or a lock-up-and-leave holiday home.

Automatic irrigation systems help maintain the gardens, while the swimming pool benefits from a cover and robotic cleaning system. Everything has been considered to maximise enjoyment while minimising maintenance.

Simply arrive, unpack and start enjoying the Andalusian lifestyle.
