Nestled in the tranquil countryside and built in 2003, this charming rustic finca showcases the unique allure of Scandinavian-treated wood, a rarity in southern Spain. The property exudes a cozy cottage ambiance and is maintained in excellent condition, offering a peaceful retreat just 10 minutes from the vibrant Mijas Golf, the picturesque Alhaurin el Grande, and the stunning beaches of La Cala de Mijas. Spanning an impressive 220 m2, the finca boasts breathtaking views of the southwest mountains in Entrerrios, framed by the serene presence of surrounding fincas and houses.
This property features three delightful terraces, two of which are covered, providing ample outdoor space to bask in the Mediterranean sunshine or enjoy al fresco dining while soaking in the magnificent vistas. Alongside the main house, a separate brick outbuilding currently serves as workshops and a smokery, encompassing 2-3 rooms and equipped with a rainwater collection system holding 75 liters, enhancing the finca’s self-sufficiency.
The main residence is constructed from solid brick, with the living quarters elegantly crafted from wood, ensuring a warm, inviting atmosphere free from humidity. This urbano property is fully registered in the Cadastro and comprises three floors, offering flexibility for the new owner. While it does not currently hold a RAFO, the new owner can easily apply for one or opt to renovate without a license, making it an appealing choice for those seeking customization at a lower cost. With the property having stood for over 23 years, extensive renovations are permitted, and it is sold as is.
The basement features a self-contained apartment with two bedrooms and a bathroom, complemented by a spacious covered terrace that provides access to the lush landscapes below. The main level encompasses a welcoming hallway, a well-appointed kitchen, a dining area with access to an open terrace, a bathroom, and an adaptable living area that can serve as an additional bedroom. The upper floor is home to four bedrooms, each with charming mezzanines, perfect for children, as well as a convenient washroom.
Beyond the main house, the property extends across the road to an additional rustic plot of approximately 900 m2. This versatile land is currently cultivated with a variety of vegetables and fruit trees, offering potential rental income should caravans be placed there. The breathtaking views to the east and south even provide glimpses of the sea.
The land surrounding the main house features terraced levels adorned with around 200 fruit trees, including 50 mango trees, alongside almonds, olives, apricots, oranges, and tomatoes. An ample water supply, approximately 75,000 liters, is dedicated to nurturing these plants, complemented by a well for the house. While a pool previously existed on the property, it has since fallen into disuse, yet plans for reinstating one can be easily accommodated, as noted in the cadasto’s air photo documentation.
As you explore the grounds, you will encounter remnants of a forgotten splash pool and a fish pond, both of which offer opportunities for restoration. This finca invites those who appreciate tranquility and possess a handy spirit, as much of the craftsmanship has been lovingly executed by the owner, who is available to guide you in understanding the property.
In terms of location, this finca provides not only a serene lifestyle but also significant potential for rental opportunities, all while maintaining a sense of privacy. The sewage system relies on a septic tank, recently serviced after 22 years, with discussions in the community about connecting to the public sewage and water supply in the future, potentially benefiting nearby fincas. This property is a rare find, offering a unique blend of rustic charm, vast potential, and an idyllic lifestyle.
