Tucked away among the olive groves in the beautiful hills of the Axarquía, just a short drive from the picturesque village of Comares, this charming little cortijo is a true haven for those who appreciate nature, tranquillity and the simple pleasures of country living.
Situated within a small traditional Andalusian hamlet, where time seems to have stood still, the property offers a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Over the years, the current owners have lovingly transformed its approximately 900 m² plot into a lush, almost magical garden, full of mature plants, fruit trees, hidden corners and winding stone stairways carefully built into the natural hillside.
At the heart of this little paradise lies an inviting swimming pool, beautifully decorated with the image of a yucca, reflecting the real plant growing beside it. A charming pond with goldfish, a small vegetable garden and several terraces surrounded by greenery complete this wonderfully peaceful outdoor setting. The property benefits from both mains water and a mountain spring, with at least 29,000 litres of water storage available to keep the garden flourishing.
The cortijo itself is full of authentic Andalusian character, with its intimate spaces and charming changes in floor level. Beneath a flower-covered pergola, the entrance leads directly into the dining area. A few steps higher is the fully equipped kitchen, overlooking the dining space and creating a lovely, almost theatrical atmosphere for anyone who enjoys cooking. A few steps below the kitchen is a bathroom with shower.
The first bedroom is situated on the main floor, a surprisingly spacious and bright room with natural light entering from several sides. Adjoining the dining area is a practical workshop or storage room with its own exterior access. The cosy living room, complete with a wood-burning stove, offers the perfect place to curl up with a book on cooler evenings.
Upstairs, the master bedroom opens directly onto a delightful private roof terrace, where the morning sunshine and sweeping views across the valleys of the Axarquía provide a wonderful start to the day.
Despite its traditional character and age, the house has also benefited from several practical improvements that make everyday living considerably more comfortable. Solar panels have been installed, the exterior walls have been insulated, and double glazing has been fitted throughout. These thoughtful upgrades provide a pleasant level of modern comfort while preserving the authentic simplicity and charm of the original cortijo.
What makes this property so special is not its size or luxury, but the atmosphere that surrounds it. Every corner of the garden invites you to slow down, explore, sit quietly or simply enjoy being close to nature. Whether you dream of growing your own vegetables, practising yoga, meditating, painting or spending long afternoons beneath the trees, this is a place where life naturally follows a gentler rhythm.
Although the plot measures just around 900 m², its thoughtful landscaping and mature greenery create a remarkable feeling of privacy and seclusion, without the maintenance of a large country estate.
This is a home for those who value peace over prestige, character over perfection and nature over modern distractions. A modest but enchanting Andalusian hideaway, where the greatest luxury is simply being able to enjoy life at your own pace.
