Exclusive Country Estate with Exceptional Amenities in La Cerradura, Jaén

This magnificent property offers a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial country estate in the peaceful and picturesque village of La Cerradura, Jaén, Spain. Built on fully legalized urban land, the estate has a history of only two careful owners since 1980, with the current owners having meticulously maintained and upgraded the property since 1999. The sale encompasses a large main house and a completely separate apartment, offering a combined seven bedrooms, making it ideal for a large family, multi-generational living, or high-end hospitality use. The estate is perfectly situated, located approximately 60 km north of Granada, 21 km from the provincial capital Jaén, and 130 km from the nearest beach on the Costa Tropical (Motril).

The main residence is a spacious 211 m2 house designed for comfort and luxury. It features five large double bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms. The heart of the home is a spacious living room, characterized by half of the area boasting impressive double-height ceilings, creating an airy and bright atmosphere. Additional living spaces include a beautiful sunroom and a fully equipped, modern kitchen complemented by a separate laundry room. The home exudes quality, featuring beautiful tile and wood floors throughout, a cozy cassette fireplace, and newly installed, highest-standard doors and windows. Comfort is ensured year-round with brand-new inverter air conditioning units providing both hot and cold air in all rooms.

Adjacent to the main house is a self-contained, high-quality 55 m2 apartment. This perfect secondary unit comprises two double bedrooms, one bathroom, and a bright living room with an open-plan kitchen. Like the main house, the apartment has been recently renovated to the highest standards, including new doors, windows, and inverter air conditioning in all rooms. This separate unit offers significant flexibility, serving as ideal guest accommodation or, as the current owners utilized it successfully for several years, a fantastic source of rental income, capitalizing on the region's appeal.

The property is exceptionally well-equipped with practical and luxurious features. Vehicular access is easy, with a 35 m2 garage featuring an automatic door and direct street access. Beneath the garage is a sizable 35 m2 storage room currently utilized as a workshop and additional storage space. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a large 29 m2 balcony accessible from three of the bedrooms and an immense 65 m2 covered porch ideal for shaded relaxation or entertaining. Furthermore, the property boasts a high-speed 600 Mbps fiber optic internet connection, a Securitas alarm system, and an environmentally conscious Wallbox Commander 2 electric car charger installed in the garage.

The commitment to sustainability and efficiency is outstanding, evidenced by the best possible Energy Rating A (14.34 kWh/m2/year). This efficiency is largely thanks to the large-scale installation of 36 m2 of solar panels (8.1 kW), significantly reducing utility costs and the environmental footprint. The spectacular garden spans over 2,700 m2 of land, offering a true private oasis. It features a huge 12.5 x 8 m swimming pool, a private tennis court, and over 600 m2 of beautifully tiled porch areas and paths. The garden also includes a chill-out bar, a decorative water channel, and a diverse variety of fruit, olive, and almond trees. Maintenance is effortless, as all areas benefit from automatic irrigation fed by the property's own well, while a state-of-the-art robotic pool cleaner and a robotic lawnmower manage the pool and large lawn areas. The setting is enhanced by spectacular mountain views, with the Sierra Magina Natural Park nearby and the Guadalbullón River flowing at the end of the garden. The property is easy to locate on Google Maps by searching for 'La Cerradura AB.'

ABOUT THE AREA

La Cerradura is a tranquil village nestled in the heart of the province of Jaén, Andalusia, a region often referred to as the 'Inland Paradise' of Spain. This area is defined by a landscape utterly dominated by vast, rolling hills covered with an infinite 'sea of olive groves,' making Jaén the world's leading producer of olive oil. The village offers a genuine taste of rural Andalusian life, away from the coastal crowds, emphasizing peace and connection with nature. Its local economy and culture are deeply intertwined with the olive industry, which shapes both the scenery and the renowned local gastronomy.

The charm of La Cerradura lies in its proximity to dramatic natural beauty and rich historical sites. It sits on the edge of the Sierra Mágina Natural Park, an area of towering mountains, offering spectacular views and opportunities for hiking, nature walks, and exploring the unspoiled Spanish countryside. The Guadalbullón River also flows nearby, adding to the picturesque landscape. For local amenities, the village is small but vibrant, featuring at least two popular local restaurants and being very close to the essential services of the Oasis hotel/restaurant and gas station, ensuring convenience alongside seclusion.

The town's location places it centrally within a region packed with history. The provincial capital, Jaén City, is just 21 km away and is famous for its Renaissance Cathedral, the vast Arab Baths (the largest in Europe), and the imposing Santa Catalina Castle perched high above the city. Furthermore, the wider province is known for possessing the largest number of castles and fortresses in Europe, a testament to its former role as the frontier between Christian and Muslim kingdoms for centuries. The UNESCO World Heritage cities of Úbeda and Baeza, renowned for their preserved Spanish Renaissance architecture, are also easily accessible, offering fantastic day trip opportunities.

For air travel, the nearest airport is Federico García Lorca Granada-Jaén Airport (GRX), located approximately 55-60 kilometers from La Cerradura. This airport provides connections to various Spanish and European cities. Larger international airports frequently used by visitors to the region include Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) and Seville Airport (SVQ), though these require a longer transfer time, typically around three hours, but offer a greater selection of direct international flights.
