Set within the spectacular Velez Blanco landscape, just a five-minute drive from the village and on the edge of the Sierra María-Los Vélez Natural Park, this exceptional historic farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored property dating back approximately 400 years.

The property boasts 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms in total, distributed between the main residence and the rental accommodation. It also includes extensive terraces, a stunning internal courtyard, a creative studio, private swimming pool with its own courtyard, outdoor kitchen & bar area, W/C, animal shelter and feed store, agricultural yard, and extensive parking and storage facilities.

Importantly, although the garages are not currently shown in the photographs or videos, the property also benefits from substantial additional vehicle and storage accommodation. This includes a spacious garage with space for 4 vehicles, a covered car port with parking for approx. 4 or 5 vehicles, and a further separate garage with space for an additional 2 vehicles. One of these garages incorporates the property's original bodega, complete with its original vaulted ceiling, adding further character and potential to this already remarkable home.

The restoration work has been carried out with considerable care and sensitivity, preserving the property's original character wherever possible. Beautiful vaulted ceilings can be found throughout, while many of the original terracotta floors have been salvaged and painstakingly restored. Where original flooring could not be retained, it has been sympathetically complemented to blend seamlessly with the historic fabric of the property. Original doors have also been preserved and restored, adding warmth and authenticity throughout.

The immediate grounds surrounding the farmhouse are arranged over attractive terraces, with low-maintenance gravel and natural stone pathways winding between mature trees, shrubs & plants. The gardens are irrigated and provide a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity.

The private swimming pool is situated within a beautifully enclosed courtyard, creating an intimate and secluded outdoor space. The pool area also incorporates an outdoor kitchen & bar, W/C and attractive walled gardens, making it the ideal setting for entertaining, relaxing or hosting guests.

The separate rental accommodation occupies one side of the property and offers highly flexible accommodation, with the option of renting the property as a whole or as separate units. A VTAR licence is in place.

Entering the main farmhouse, the quality and character of the restoration immediately become apparent. The first reception area is a bright and welcoming sitting & dining space featuring a wood-burning stove, comfortable seating and large patio windows overlooking the spectacular surrounding views. A picture window incorporating its original 400-year-old wooden shutter provides a wonderful connection to the property's history.

From here, the handmade farmhouse kitchen features a central island, double marble sink, bespoke floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, range cooker and extractor hood. An antique door leads through to the laundry area, with shower rooms conveniently located nearby.

The hallway then opens into another spacious sitting room, centred around an original Andalusian Inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove. Behind the fireplace is the property's original wood-fired oven, another wonderful reminder of this property´s centuries-old heritage.

A library follows, with a separate office area that could alternatively be utilised as another bedroom, if required. From here, arched patio doors open onto a particularly beautiful Andalusian courtyard garden, finished with distinctive Majorelle blue detailing. The courtyard features a central water feature and built-in seating, creating a peaceful and atmospheric space for enjoying the surrounding architecture and gardens.

The creative studio overlooks this internal courtyard and has previously provided the setting for numerous retreats held at the farmhouse. Filled with natural light, it is a versatile and inspiring space that could lend itself perfectly to artistic pursuits....

Returning to the main house, the staircase leads up to the sleeping accommodation. The principal bedroom forms an impressive master suite with an adjoining dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite bathroom, together with a family bathroom, complete the first floor accommodation.

The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, solar hot-water system, mains electricity, town water supply and internet connection.

As mentioned, the property holds a Vivienda Rural touristic licence, making it particularly suited to a range of rural tourism opportunities, including yoga and meditation retreats, art and creative holidays, wellness escapes, bird-watching groups and other bespoke retreat concepts.
