2600 Country House in Priego de Cordoba

Former nobleman's house with adjoining ruin of an old olive oil mill. The house needs considerable attention but despite appearances seems basically solid. There are many other outbuildings which could be converted for additional accommodation or torn down to increase garden size.

The house itself is light, spacious, approximately 100 years old and sits in beautiful countryside amongst olive groves with views towards the Subbetica mountains. It is not currently habitable but could be made so relatively quickly and without spending huge amounts of money. Replacing windows and doors, repairing the roof and doing general maintenance might cost €70.000. Although the roof looks to need repairs, viewed from underneath it appears to be in good shape apart from an area above the former chimney which needs extensive repair. Formerly the house had five/six bedrooms and three bathrooms, the plumbing for which still exists. Electricity is connected.

There is a second two-storey building some distance from the main house which could be transformed plus further outbuildings. The mill itself, which no longer has a roof, probably needs to be removed to increase garden space and give the main house "breathing space".

Outside there is a large terrace in front of the house and an approximately 12m x 5m private swimming pool, filled from the property's own well.

There are three horse boxes within the space of the old mill, a large hay store and a walled training enclosure with a stable.

This property needs considerable work but is being sold at a realistic price which reflects that. It offers a fantastic opportunity to have a spacious family home in a scenically beautiful area, only ten minutes away from all the facilities of a large country town, itself an important historic destination. It is not easy to obtain permission to build, or to extend, in the Andalucian countryside, nor to install a swimming pool. Here the buildings and pool already exist and need only permission to maintain them.

A very rare opportunity to acquire a huge amount of building structure with own water and electricity already connected.
