Casa colonica 180 m², Cotobro, Almuñécar

A secluded country house for those seeking true peace and connection with nature
This charming country house is located along the Peña Escrita mountain road, between the coastal towns of Almuñécar and La Herradura. Set on an elevated hillside with a south-facing orientation, the property enjoys wide panoramic views over the surrounding mountain landscape. The views are mainly of the mountains, with the Mediterranean Sea visible on clear days at a great distance, forming part of the horizon.

The property is approximately a 30-minute drive from the coast, following a scenic mountain road that gradually leaves urban life behind. Access is suitable for all standard vehicles; however, the road is narrow, winding and includes gradients typical of mountain areas. The final short stretch is currently unpaved, reinforcing the sense of seclusion, tranquility and privacy that defines this property. This is a home designed for those who value silence, nature and see the journey itself as part of the lifestyle.
The plot measures approximately 850 m², with around 180 m² of built living space distributed over two floors.
The ground floor comprises a kitchen-dining area with a fireplace, a guest toilet and one bedroom.
The upper floor offers three bedrooms—one with a balcony—a full bathroom, and access to a rooftop terrace where two water tanks are located.
Outside, the property features a pleasant swimming pool and a spacious terrace, ideal for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Next to the pool, there is also a small independent rustic cottage that requires renovation, as the roof is currently damaged. This additional structure offers potential to be restored as guest accommodation, a leisure area or a studio, depending on the future owner’s needs.
One of the most distinctive features of the property is a mature carob tree located in a sheltered patio area beside the main house, providing natural shade, privacy and a strong sense of character.
Water is supplied by a shared local well serving the surrounding properties, making it very economical. Electricity is connected to the Endesa grid. All documentation is in order, and a simple property registry extract is available.
This is not a property for everyone, but for the right buyer it offers something increasingly rare: space, silence, privacy and a genuine retreat immersed in nature.

NOTE: documentation in order, registered deeds, but its classification is rural land, so anyone who has to buy with a mortgage should refrain from it.

The property has all its main documentation in order and is registered. However, the owner carried out some alterations and extensions that are not reflected in the Land Registry.
Legally, the registered built area is approximately 140 m², while the actual constructed area is around 180 m².
Additionally, the swimming pool and a small auxiliary building (which requires renovation and was formerly used as an animal shelter) are also not registered.
There is a nota simple, and the land is classified as rural land. Please note that banks generally offer very limited financing for rural properties.
Before arranging a visit, I would like to clarify one important point to avoid any misunderstandings. The property is located in the mountains, approximately a 30-minute drive from the coast, accessed via a mountain road that is narrow, winding, with some gradients, and with a short final stretch that is unpaved. For many people, this is part of the charm, privacy, and tranquility of the location; for others, it may not be suitable. I prefer to make this clear from the outset.
If the access and the lifestyle this property offers feel right for you, I will be happy to proceed and arrange a visit.
