Characterful Andalusian Country Estate with Established B&B, Swimming Pool and Private Tennis Court – Álora
Some properties have something special about them — an atmosphere that is difficult to put into words, but that you immediately feel when you enter through the gates. This characterful Andalusian country estate is one of those places. Set on approximately 17,503 m² of land, it offers a unique combination of space, privacy, authentic Spanish character and an established guest accommodation business that has been successfully operated for many years.
Access is via a paved track of approximately 300 metres from the main road. Through the entrance gate, you arrive at a spacious parking area, beyond which lies the traditional courtyard that forms the heart of the property. On either side of the courtyard are two separate houses, each with its own character and layout.
The larger house is entered through a spacious entrance leading into the living room and reception area, with the kitchen directly connected. There is also a library, which can equally be used as a television room. Upstairs, there is a second living room and the principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom. In addition, this house has three guest rooms, one of which comprises two bedrooms.
On the opposite side of the courtyard is the second house, with two studio suites, each offering an open-plan living and sleeping area together with its own bathroom.
It is this layout that makes the property particularly versatile. The different areas provide an excellent setting for guest accommodation while still offering plenty of possibilities for comfortable private living.
The current owners have been running the B&B since 2007. Over almost two decades, the property has established itself as a successful and well-established guest accommodation business. For a new owner, this provides a very different starting point from a property that merely offers the possibility of creating a B&B. The existing business can be continued, while the property could equally be adapted for private use or a combination of private living and guest accommodation.
Both houses are surrounded by a variety of open and covered terraces, providing numerous places to sit, dine and enjoy the Andalusian climate. Traditional Andalusian tiles, wooden doors and the atmospheric courtyard add to the authentic character of the property.
The outdoor areas are an important part of the appeal. The swimming pool is surrounded by generous terraces with plenty of space for sun loungers and relaxation. Part of the land has been landscaped as a garden, with mature palm trees and Mediterranean planting creating a wonderful Spanish atmosphere.
A particularly attractive feature is the private tennis court, located next to the swimming pool. It is an unusual addition that makes the property especially enjoyable for family, friends and guests alike.
Although the property was renovated some years ago, great care was taken to retain many of its traditional features and its distinctive Andalusian identity. All rooms are equipped with hot and cold air conditioning, providing comfort throughout the year.
The property has electricity and mains water, supplemented by water from its own spring. In addition, two new biological septic tanks have been installed, with a combined capacity suitable for up to 18 people.
The property also benefits from existing tourism documentation, including a municipal Licencia de Apertura for tourist apartments and official registration as a Casa Rural. The Declaración de Obra Nueva was formally declared and registered at the Registro de la Propiedad in 2007.
The location offers an excellent balance between countryside and accessibility. The centre of Álora is only a few minutes away by car, as is the local railway station. From here, Málaga is easily accessible by train, while Málaga city can be reached by car in approximately 40 minutes. The famous Caminito del Rey, Ronda and Marbella are also within easy reach.
At the same time, the property feels wonderfully peaceful and private, with beautiful views across the surrounding valley and mountains and the natural landscape of inland Málaga all around.
The property is being sold largely furnished, excluding personal belongings.
This is much more than simply a house. It is a characterful Spanish country estate with guest accommodation, swimming pool and private tennis court, set within a substantial plot and, importantly, with a B&B that has been successfully run by the current owners since 2007.
Whether you are looking for an established B&B to continue, a spacious Andalusian home for family and friends, or a combination of private living and guest accommodation, this property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive piece of the Andalusian countryside.
