About this property

Nestled within a peaceful rural hamlet in the beautiful hills of Canillas de Aceituno, this charming rustic finca offers an exceptional opportunity to create a private countryside retreat, small wellness business, or self-sufficient lifestyle. Surrounded by productive orchards and breathtaking natural scenery, the property enjoys excellent access while remaining wonderfully peaceful, with the Mediterranean coast just 25 minutes away.

Dating back to the 1940s, the finca has retained its authentic Andalusian character, featuring exposed stone walls, timber-beamed ceilings, and a relaxed countryside atmosphere. Requiring only light cosmetic improvements, it is ready to be enjoyed immediately while offering exciting potential to personalise.

The main house provides five bedrooms arranged around a welcoming central living room, making it perfectly suited for hosting family, guests, or retreat participants. A large covered outdoor kitchen, dining and lounge area creates the social heart of the property, providing a wonderful space for communal meals, workshops, or relaxing after a day spent outdoors. An additional room adjoining this area could easily become a sixth bedroom, storage room, or second bathroom.

Around 20 metres from the main house sits a separate self-contained studio apartment, converted from a traditional barn. The studio includes a spacious open-plan living and sleeping area, kitchen, bathroom, and its own covered terrace overlooking a private garden. With minimal alterations, the space could easily be adapted into a two-bedroom guest cottage.

Higher up the property, a large level platform of approximately 1,000 m² enjoys spectacular 360-degree views across the surrounding mountains and villages, making it an ideal location for yoga classes, meditation, outdoor events, or even a large retreat tent.

The inviting pool and chill-out area provides the perfect setting for relaxation, social gatherings, or wellness activities, while the fertile land offers endless possibilities for expanding food production or embracing a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
