The Cortijo

According to local legend, the present house stands on the site of a Roman vineyard and indeed, the old wine vat and the stone grape treading area does look pretty ancient!

This Cortijo has been built and rebuilt over the centuries and exudes charm and character, though it could do with a major facelift.  The really exceptional thing about this house is its position on a large platform, surrounded by vines and lovely old trees. As a result of the 2002 land law, nothing can be built on rustic land unless it is agriculture, hotel or forest related.  The house, however, can be renovated or rebuilt.

The Old house

• The main house has 4 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, 4 carports and 4 out houses.

• There is also a staff cottage with bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen/reception room.

• There are also numerous ruins in 3 different locations.

The True Dimension of the River Front Flat Land

Planning Permission: No urbanization can be built on this land according to present planning which will only permit forest, agriculture, cattle or hotel related buildings plus, both the town administration and the government (Junta de Andalusia)  have to jointly agree to any new development proposal.

 Planning on rustic land is a specialized field. R Germaux=Fincas Project Management with a team of architects and lawyers has helped several neighbours to obtain planning permission
