3870 Cortijo, Great Irrigated Terraces

Three-Bedroom Cortijo with Irrigated Land and Olive Trees near Nieles

This spacious country house offers an excellent opportunity for those seeking a rural lifestyle with the possibility of becoming largely self-sufficient. Located in the countryside near Nieles in the Cástaras area of the Alpujarras, the property enjoys peaceful surroundings, productive land and abundant water resources.

The cortijo of approximately 110 m² sits within around 7,000 m² of terraced land, much of which is already equipped with irrigation pipework. Access is via a short track, mostly concrete.

The House

The house is surrounded by a fully fenced area, making it safe for children and pets. A large partly shaded terrace sits to the front of the property and provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The entrance leads into a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.

The traditional Alpujarran-style kitchen currently includes fitted units, a gas hob and a double stainless-steel sink, and could benefit from some modernisation. The adjoining living and dining area has ample space for a large table and seating area and features a large open fireplace.

From here, an internal hall leads to:

• Three generous double bedrooms

• Family bathroom with tiled shower

• Additional room currently used as storage, which could potentially serve as a fourth bedroom

To the side of the property is an insulated room currently used as a bodega and storage area for gardening equipment, which also houses the solar system controls.

The terraced land surrounding the property is well maintained and benefits from irrigation. The area is known locally for its abundance of water, and the property benefits from water rights.

The land includes:

• More than 50 productive olive trees

• Grape vines producing approximately 100 bottles of wine per year

• Various fruit and almond trees

Thanks to the irrigation system and fertile soil, the property offers excellent potential for vegetable cultivation and self-sufficient living.

There is also the possibility to purchase additional neighbouring land from the owner’s family.
