3404 Stunning Cortijo with Separate Casita

Three-Bedroom Cortijo with Guest Annex and Sierra Nevada Views

Set in the Sierra de la Contraviesa with magnificent views towards Mulhacén and the Sierra Nevada, this beautifully presented three-bedroom cortijo with separate guest accommodation offers privacy, space and versatility.

The main house measures approximately 120 m², with an additional 57 m² annex, all set within 4.5 hectares of land. It would make an excellent family home, with the annex ideal for extended family, guests or semi-independent living.

Access is via a partly paved road that becomes a track, leading to a private drive and generous parking area between the two buildings.

Main House

A covered porch frames the entrance and provides a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the surrounding countryside.

Inside, the house opens into an open-plan kitchen and informal dining/sitting area. The kitchen features traditional built-in base units with slate worktops and twin inset sinks, a striking tiled backsplash, space for dishwasher, large range cooker and fridge-freezer, wall-mounted cupboards and a large front-facing window.

The living area includes:

• Modern double-glazed windows with integrated roller shutters

• Exposed ceiling beams

• Two wall-mounted radiators

• Wood-burning stove set on a raised tiled hearth

A hallway leads to the bedrooms and bathrooms:

• Bright double bedroom with exposed beams and radiator

• Family bathroom with recessed basin unit, walk-in shower and heated towel rail

• Second bedroom (currently single, easily converted to double)

• Spacious master bedroom with French doors to the terrace and built-in storage

• En-suite bathroom with full bath and shower, basin, toilet and bidet

At the end of the hall is an exceptionally large formal dining and lounge area, filled with light from French doors to north and south aspects and additional east-facing windows. Despite accommodating lounge seating, formal dining and even a home office, the room remains spacious and welcoming.

Terraces & Outdoor Living

French doors from the master bedroom and lounge open onto a terrace with wooden pergola and climbing plants. To the rear, a large terrace runs the full length of the house, offering ample space for sun loungers and outdoor dining. A garden area with roses, bulbs and a traditional-style water feature completes the setting — all with panoramic mountain views.

There is also:

• A room housing solar batteries and generator

• Fully fenced dog enclosure

• Small vegetable garden (with potential to expand)

The land includes mature almond, fig, plum, peach, apple, pear and cherry trees.

The separate building provides fully self-contained accommodation, including:

• Open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner

• Kitchen area with gas hob, fitted sink and tiled backsplash

At the opposite end is a storage room housing the gas boiler and laundry area.
