This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a 290 acre (117 hectares) working estate set in some of southern Spain’s most beautiful and historically interesting landscapes. 2,500 m2 Built Area; a classic Cortijo styled around a central courtyard 117 Hectares of Farmland with stunning views Additional, separate house for restoration (260 m2) with stunning views to the Sierra Nevada mountains Gardens and swimming pool Two large water deposits and fresh mountain spring Potential future uses include, either separately or as a combination: A Country House Hotel and Restaurant, unrivalled in this areaA vineyard producing exceptional wines An Olive Farm A hunting lodge A stunning, private family home The property, which consists of the main manor house, a separate property for restoration, a 14th Century Moorish watchtower, trenches remaining from the Spanish Civil War (1936 - 1939) and the farmland, can be used for many purposes. At present, the main income from the farm is from olives, and the estate has 6,119 trees producing an average of just under 60,000 litres of olive oil per annum. The estate is a member of La Socieded Coperativa Andaluza San Antonio and the olives are milled in nearby Ermita Nueva. The estate also has a vineyard with Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes producing an excellent red wine (on average 1,000 litres per annum)  for the family’s own use. The vineyard side of the estate could easily be expanded and there is already a fully-equipped and modern bodega for wine production. Finally, the property is a member of the Club Deportivo de Caza - Sociedad de Cazadores Tózar and Limones as a hunting estate, with rights to hunt small game such as hare, partridge and quail, as well as larger game such as wild boar. The farming side of the property has been the recipient of heavy investment over the years and the structure of the Cortijo has been very well maintained. Any work that needs to be done to adapt the property to the requirements of the new owners is superficial. There is an extensive irrigation system and the two water deposits are connected to mains water supply as well as the property’s own fresh mountain spring. The main manor house is unusual in this part of Andalucia as it follows the more traditional design of cortijos often found in the provinces of Córdoba and Sevilla. The house and outbuildings are built around a large central courtyard with an imposing entrance gate. The main accommodation is located in the two front sections of the property. The Casa Principal (158.50 m2) is very traditional in its design and style and it is here where the family accommodation is located. On the other side of the entrance gate, the Casa de los Guardas (125.5 m2) is currently used by the farm manager and consists of further, classical accommodation. The remainder of the property around the courtyard consists of the Bodega for wine production, barns for the storing of farm machinery, stabling and other ancillary storage. There is a capacious cellar area. In front and to one side of the Casa Principal, there is a more formal garden area with a large swimming pool that is completely fenced. The Cortijo was built in 1940 and the current owners’ family bought it shortly thereafter. It has been a much-loved home and productive farm for the best part of these past 80 years. The accommodation and garden areas now need some updating, but the potential for the future of this property extends beyond the existing uses. As mentioned above, the outbuildings arranged around the grand courtyard are extensive. The roofs of most of these spaces have been completely renewed utilising the original roof tiles, and these areas could very easily be converted to provide additional accommodation for commercial use. With investment, this property could become a beautiful Country House Hotel, unrivalled in this area, with between 12 - 15 bedroom suites; maybe more. There is also the possibility of creating a destination restaurant. Other leisure uses, aside from those touched on above, might include an equestrian centre as the riding in this area is fabulous, and the estate contains an area of uncultivated mountainside with a network of hacking routes. In addition to the olive crops, the estate also has many fruit and nut trees, an arable area for growing cereal crops and vegetables (broad beans and asparagus are widely grown in the area). The surrounding countryside is breathtaking in its rugged beauty and rich in a fascinating history. Just beyond the border of the estate, the Cueva de Malalmuerzo recently revealed human remain that date back 23,000 years: the second oldest human remains to have been found on continental Europe. Tózar, the nearest village to the Cortijo, is one of the 7 villages that make up the municipality of Moclín, and this gorgeous corner of Andalucia has played a vital role in the history of the city of Granada going back centuries. The Catholic Monarchs, Isabela and Fernando, stayed in the Castillo de Moclín for 6 years from 1486 until they finally captured Granada from the ruling Moors in 1492. Cultural tourism is a growing industry in this unspoiled region, and visitors exploring Andalucia play an important role in the halting of rural depopulation, providing opportunities for future investment and employment for local people. On so many different levels, this is a property that gives the new owner the potential to create something undeniably special in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
