Through a careful management programme, the estate ensures the protection of its wonderful natural environment, which is home to a great variety of indigenous wildlife. Work is underway on a 10 year wood plan which will harvest the pine within the estate and could bring in as much as 25,000 per annum.

The location of the property ensures peace, tranquillity and privacy however, you do not lose out on creature comforts solar power and under-floor heating have been installed, whilst wood from the estate serves as fuel for the large open fireplace and stoves during the cooler months. Having two properties within the estate, there is plenty of scope for the main cortijo becoming a family home with a separate guest house available to visitors.

There are very few places like this in Western Europe with no pollution, clear skies and panoramic views with a feeling of space and seclusion.

The legal ownership is well structured with a Spanish company holding the assets. The Spanish company has about Euros 1.4 million of tax losses which could be utilised by a new owner. The whole estate is also split into 4 separate deeds to enable new owners to manage the estate in the future.

This country estate or finca in Spanish, should have been acquired by the Junta de Andaluca before the current owners bought the property but due to a lack of finances, they were unable to do so. Being located within the eye of a protected Natural Park, they still have a first right of refusal over its sale due to its value and importance within the Natural Park.

This is an unprecedented opportunity to own and develop (in any way required) a stunning and very large piece of rural Andalucian real estate at a price that some years ago would be unimaginable.

The use of the word bargain is far too frequently seen these days in Spain but this really is a terrific opportunity to own a large slice of beauty and seclusion at a hugely discounted figure.
