This commercial property is situated in Montejaque, Málaga, within the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. The property comprises a restored former farmhouse with a built area of 1,016 m² on 103.52 hectares of land. Originally constructed in 1970 and restored in 2004 for rural tourism purposes, the estate includes Mediterranean pastureland, olive groves, and organic almond orchards. The property features a natural spring supplying two wells and a 125,000-litre reservoir. With 7,700 m² of zoned land permitting development of 26 detached single-family homes, this represents a substantial commercial opportunity in an inland Andalusian setting.
This commercial property in Montejaque differs significantly from the coastal developments typically found along the Costa del Sol. Unlike projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar, Lantana Residencial in Mijas, or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, which are primarily residential developments near the coast, this property represents a rural tourism business opportunity in an inland natural park setting. The pricing of €2,200,000 reflects the substantial land area of 103.52 hectares and the existing tourism infrastructure, positioning it as a commercial rather than purely residential investment. The comparable coastal projects, priced from €205,000 to €269,950, represent different market segments focused on residential living with access to coastal amenities. The Montejaque property offers a diversified business model combining established tourism facilities with agricultural land and development potential. This contrasts with the typically singular focus of coastal developments on residential living. The inland location within a natural park provides a different lifestyle and business environment compared to the coastal Mediterranean focus of the comparative projects. The property's scale and mixed-use potential represent a higher entry point investment but with potentially more diverse revenue streams than standard residential properties. The inclusion of agricultural land and water resources adds elements of sustainability and self-sufficiency not commonly found in coastal developments. The property appeals to investors seeking a business opportunity within a protected natural environment, rather than those primarily interested in residential property with coastal access.

The estate is situated within the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, offering proximity to natural landmarks such as the Cueva del Gato-Hundidero and the Cueva de la Pileta.

This commercial property caters to business requirements rather than residential needs. The estate offers potential for rural tourism operations with existing accommodation facilities. The substantial land area provides opportunities for agricultural production or development. The combination of established buildings and development land offers flexibility for various commercial ventures, particularly those related to tourism, hospitality, or sustainable agriculture in a natural park setting.
Though originally constructed in 1970, the property underwent significant restoration in 2004 to adapt it for rural tourism whilst preserving historical elements. The buildings are completed and operational. The development potential lies in the 7,700 m² of zoned land where planning regulations permit the construction of 26 detached single-family homes, each with 160 m² floor area on 260 m² plots, offering future development opportunities.
The property does not include beachfront access, being situated 35 kilometres from the nearest beaches. The commercial nature of the property means it does not function as a traditional residential dwelling. The price of €2,200,000 specifically covers the holiday accommodation with developable land, not the entire estate. The inland location requires consideration for those seeking coastal Mediterranean lifestyle. The property requires maintenance appropriate to its size and nature.
This commercial property would suit investors seeking an established rural tourism business with development potential. The property is particularly appropriate for those interested in nature-based tourism, given its location within the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. The existing infrastructure and restoration completed in 2004 provide a foundation for immediate business operations, whilst the development land offers opportunities for expansion. The property would also appeal to entrepreneurs interested in sustainable agriculture, with the Mediterranean pastureland, olive groves, and organic almond orchards providing potential for additional revenue streams. The water resources, including the natural spring and large reservoir, support both tourism and agricultural activities. For developers, the 7,700 m² of zoned land with permission for 26 detached homes presents a separate development opportunity, either as an immediate project or for future phased development. The proximity to Montejaque village and the historic town of Ronda provides access to local services and potential tourist attractions. The property's scale and diverse features require management experience or the resources to employ appropriate staff. It would best suit those with business experience in hospitality, tourism, or rural property management, rather than first-time commercial property investors.
The property underwent comprehensive restoration in 2004, adapting the former family farmhouse for rural tourism whilst preserving its historical character. The restoration balanced modernisation with the retention of traditional features, maintaining the charm of the original construction whilst updating facilities for contemporary tourism standards. The built area of 1,016 m² includes various structures designed for tourist and residential use. The restoration focused on creating functional spaces suitable for commercial hospitality operations, with attention to durability and practicality given the property's business purpose. The water infrastructure, including the natural spring, two wells, and 125,000-litre reservoir, represents a significant feature of the property's construction, providing a sustainable water source for both tourism and agricultural activities. The estate's fencing and internal passable track demonstrate attention to practical infrastructure necessary for managing a large rural property. The external areas, visible in the available imagery, include pool terraces, outdoor dining areas, and lounging spaces, all designed to take advantage of the mountain views and natural setting. The presence of solar panels on some buildings indicates consideration of energy efficiency, appropriate for a commercial operation where running costs impact profitability. The overall quality of the property reflects its status as one of the pioneering rural tourism establishments in the area, with construction and finishes designed for durability in a commercial tourism environment.
The commercial property is priced at €2,200,000, which specifically covers the holiday accommodation with developable land. It's important to note that this price does not include the entire estate, as the family home (€100,000) and rural land (€900,000) are available separately. The complete estate would cost €3,000,000 if purchased as a whole. The pricing reflects the substantial built area of 1,016 m², the 103.52 hectares of land, and the development potential of the 7,700 m² zoned plot where 26 detached homes could be constructed. The property's history as an established rural tourism business and its location within the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park contribute to its commercial value.
This commercial estate functions as a rural tourism business within a natural park setting.

The property's location within the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park offers guests opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and exploring the local flora and fauna.
