This breathtaking 5-hectare (12.45 acres) finca nestled in the hills of Águilas boasts two charming houses. The main house, a detached cortijo of 2,260 square feet (210 m²), combines modern comfort with delightful Spanish details. It features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, all with ample natural light. In front of the cortijo is a beautiful saltwater swimming pool and spacious sun and covered terraces, perfect for relaxation.

On the lower section of the plot, there's a recently renovated guest house of approximately 807 square feet (75 m²) with two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Surrounded by idyllic gardens, the finca offers complete privacy and breathtaking views of the rugged mountainous landscape. It's conveniently located just 500 meters from the entrance to the Lorca-Águilas motorway, making it easily accessible. Águilas' beaches are just a 15-minute drive away. This unique location harmoniously blends peace, nature, and the vibrant energy of the Costa Cálida.

The property is accessed through an automated wrought-iron gate, leading to a driveway that takes you to the houses. A charming covered terrace with beautiful Spanish tiling opens to a spacious entrance hall.

To the left, the sunny living room with an open-plan kitchen features large wooden windows with unique shutters, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living room includes a cozy seating area by the fireplace and a dining section next to the kitchen. The functional kitchen offers potential for a contemporary update and a separate pantry. From the kitchen, you can access a large covered terrace at the west side of the house.

Beyond the entrance hall, an open office space provides access to the west terrace.

To the right of the entrance hall, a corridor leads to the sleeping quarters, where there are two large bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a recently renovated bathroom. At the end of the corridor, the master bedroom offers a private, fully updated en-suite bathroom.

This charming cortijo seamlessly blends character, practicality, and a warm living environment, perfect for enjoying both indoor and outdoor life under the South-Spanish sun.

The Guest House

The guest house, nestled on the lower grounds, underwent a complete renovation last summer. This charming casita boasts two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, an open living room with a kitchen, and a cozy fireplace for chilly winter evenings. From the living room, you can access a sunny terrace with breathtaking views of the landscape and another terrace equipped with a barbecue. A staircase leads down to the inviting swimming pool. Since last summer, the guest house has been successfully rented out for holiday stays.

Outdoors

Both properties are surrounded by expansive, sunny, and covered terraces, inviting you to embrace the outdoors. The lush garden, adorned with mature trees and vibrant plants, creates an intimate oasis of tranquility, nestled amidst the majestic mountain landscape. 

The fully renovated saltwater pool is situated amidst spacious terraces, offering sun-soaked areas and shaded spots beneath the pine trees. The garden's design incorporates multiple levels, connected by a charming tiled outdoor staircase that descends to the pool terrace. The breathtaking mountain views and ample parking with a carport behind the cortijo complete the location.
