The Property
Are you looking for the ultimate escape into peace and tranquility? Nestled in a sun-drenched valley in the beautiful region of Taberno, Almería, this traditional semi-detached cortijo offers a rare opportunity to craft your dream countryside retreat. Surrounded by spectacular mountain views and bathed in the glorious Mediterranean sun, this historic property is a blank canvas bursting with authentic Andalusian character.
Interior & Living Spaces
Spread across two levels, the home features 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, providing a generous footprint to reimagine as a family home or a serene holiday getaway.
Step inside and be instantly transported by the preserved traditional architecture. The main living spaces boast beautiful vaulted ceilings with curved terracotta tiles and thick wooden beams, perfectly complemented by classic terracotta tiled floors. The home benefits from thick walls that keep it cool in the summer, alongside a cozy fireplace to gather around during chilly winter evenings. The rustic layout currently includes a combined kitchen and dining area and bedrooms featuring lovely details like carved wooden window lintels and traditional dark-wood shutters.
The Grounds & Outbuildings
The cortijo comes with its own extensive plot of land dotted with mature olive trees and vibrant grapevines sprawling over old stone walls, offering the perfect starting point for a Mediterranean garden. The front of the property enjoys breathtaking, uninterrupted views across the arid, rolling hills and the valley floor.
One of the standout features of this estate is the abundance of extra utility space. Attached are multiple rustic outbuildings, storage rooms, and workshops boasting exposed stone masonry and high ceilings. Currently used for wood storage and tools, these spaces hold huge potential to be converted into additional living quarters, an artist’s studio, a workshop, or a fantastic summer kitchen.
The Potential
