El Colmenar (Gaucín) – Málaga Province
11 Hectares • 5 Tourist Casitas • 2 Hectares Urbanizable • Panoramic Views
Historic rural estate poised for prime tourism development. Set on 11 hectares of tranquil natural land, including 2 hectares of urbanizable terrain, the property offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty and scalable investment potential. Formerly belonging to the renowned Larios Sherry family, the estate retains its traditional Andalusian character while offering modern infrastructure for hospitality projects.
Prime Investment Features
11 hectares of pristine private land, including 2 hectares zoned for future development—ideal for additional accommodations, wellness facilities, glamping, or private residences.
A large semi‑ruined building suitable for conversion into further tourist units, a boutique hotel, private villa, wellness center, or stables.
Situated at the gateway to the Canon de Buitreras, a major natural attraction drawing hikers, birdwatchers, and adventure tourists.
Town hall plans for a new walkway route to the Buitreras—a local “Camino de Reyes” style trail—will significantly increase future visitor flow.

Built with original materials and charming rustic features, each casita offers privacy, comfort, and panoramic views.
5 self‑contained units
Rustic interiors with chestnut beams and Andalusian character
Each casita includes a mini kitchen cleverly integrated into a custom-designed wardrobe (two-ring cooker, sink, compact fridge)
Capacity breakdown:

2 x casitas for 4 guests
1 x casita for 6 guests
Some casitas include adjoining lockable doors—ideal for hosting groups, retreats, or family events.

Why This Property Stands Out
