Exceptional Andalusian Country House with Exciting Rural Tourism Potential
Set in beautiful countryside between Jimena de la Frontera and San Pablo de Buceite, this property offers far more than a wonderful family home. With a tourist licence already in place, a First Occupation Licence, extensive gardens, swimming pool and several traditional outbuildings, the property has exciting potential to evolve into an intimate country guest house, retreat venue or boutique rural tourism business.
Originally the farmhouse of a larger family finca, the property was comprehensively rebuilt and restored in 2005–2006 with great respect for traditional Andalusian architecture. Thick stone walls, exposed timber beams, terracotta and original hydraulic floor tiles, handcrafted ceramics and traditional timber doors give the house enormous character, while modern installations provide a high level of comfort and impressive energy efficiency.
The main house currently offers four exceptionally spacious double bedroom suites, each with its own private bathroom. At its heart is a generous open-plan living, dining and country kitchen area, opening through French doors onto a wonderful vine-covered terrace.
This outdoor entertaining space, with its barbecue, traditional wood-fired pizza oven and spectacular views across the valley, is one of the property's great attractions and lends itself perfectly to relaxed outdoor dining, celebrations and entertaining.
A Property with Business Potential
For a new owner wishing to develop a rural tourism business, the estate offers considerable possibilities.
The existing four-bedroom house could provide the basis for an exclusive boutique guest house or B&B, while the extensive gardens, terraces and pool area create a beautiful setting for small weddings, private celebrations, yoga and wellness retreats, creative workshops and other intimate events.
Of particular interest are the three traditional stone outbuildings/former stable buildings Currently used for storage and technical installations, these offer the possibility, subject to the necessary permissions, of conversion into additional independent guest accommodation, potentially increasing the number of rooms available without compromising the character of the main house.
The grounds themselves are a major part of the appeal. Mature palms, cactus gardens, fruit trees, vegetable-growing areas and numerous quiet corners surround a saltwater swimming pool and generous sun terraces, all enjoying open views across the surrounding countryside.
Despite its traditional appearance, the property benefits from excellent modern infrastructure, including 9 kW photovoltaic solar panels, aerothermal hot water, air conditioning, fibre internet and additional free water for irrigation and the swimming pool. Running costs are consequently remarkably low for a property of this size.
Immaculately maintained and sold with most of its furniture, this is a property that can be enjoyed immediately while offering a new owner the opportunity to take it in an exciting new direction.
Whether envisaged as a boutique country guest house, intimate wedding venue, wellness or yoga retreat, or an exclusive rural holiday destination, the combination of existing tourist use, beautiful accommodation, extensive outdoor spaces and further development potential makes this a particularly interesting opportunity in southern Andalucía.
