Cortijos la Laguna SOPORTUJAR

This spectacular mountain property at 1800m above sea level in the National Park with unbeatable views.

There are 4 buildings.  The main house is livable on 2 floors – ground area of 70m²; although habitable, will benefit from updating.  The lower floor has two bedrooms and in-between the bedrooms is a kitchen/diner with a fireplace & the upper floor is open plan.  The building closest to the main house is used as a shower room fitted with a septic tank, toilet, shower, sink and has a gas water heater installed. Only half of this house has been put into use.

There are another 2 ruins of 130m² and another which is 5 minutes walk away of 100m² with a threshing circle in front.   The land is 70 ha / 700.000m² / 173 acres of mainly holly oaks / black oaks & deciduous oaks (these oaks survived the mass tree felling when building the Spanish Armada), plus 2 mature apple trees & 5 young walnut trees in front of the main livable house.  It has 70.000 m² of farming land with lots & lots of water – 5 water springs and 4 water pools.  As in the National Park, no wires are allowed so one has to rely on alternative energy; this can be solar, wind, water, and generator. One can only renovate the existing buildings.   All the houses & ruins are registered in the deed.

Access has to be by 4 x 4, half hour from the main road up the mountain.   The closest village is Órgiva at 45 minutes’ drive away.  It enjoys the most spectacular views – on clear days one can see the Atlas Mountains in Africa and there is always the presence of the Sierra Nevada Mountains; in the winter months can be snowed in for a short period.  A property which is hard to come by of its kind.  Amazing opportunity for a retreat.
