Located in the municipality of Guaro, this Finca offers a rural setting at an altitude of 355 meters. The immediate surroundings are characterized by peace and nature, with viewpoints like Mirador Cruz Caravaca just 3.1 km away. Its inland position distinguishes it from the busier coastal areas, focusing on space and an authentic Andalusian experience.

Layout

This property is suitable for those seeking space and privacy on a large estate. With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms spread over 366 m², there is ample room for a large family or for hosting guests. The extensive plot provides opportunities for agricultural activities or recreation in a natural environment.

Project Status

This Finca – Cortijo is an existing property offering potential for modernization or renovation according to personal taste. While there is no specific completion date for new construction, the 'Cortijo' style implies traditional building methods that reflect local architecture and craftsmanship, ready to be transformed into a contemporary residence.

Points of Attention

The rural location means direct access to urban amenities is limited; a car is essential for daily commutes. The distance to the Mediterranean coast is a minimum of 16 km as the crow flies. This project does not offer direct beach access or the bustle of a prime coastal location.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This Finca – Cortijo in Guaro suits buyers pursuing an authentic Spanish lifestyle with ample space and privacy. It is a fitting choice for families seeking a rural environment with plenty of living space, or for investors who see potential in renovating and developing a traditional Andalusian country estate. The proximity to nature and the relatively mild climate (average 17.8°C) make it attractive for both permanent residence and as a second home. The necessity of a car for travel to supermarkets (7.4 km) or the coast (16 km as the crow flies) is a factor for those prioritizing mobility. The 3,834 annual sunshine hours and a 4-month swimming season support an outdoor lifestyle.

Build Quality & Finishing

The Finca – Cortijo is characterized by its traditional Andalusian construction style, with 366 m² of living area. Specific details regarding finishes, such as flooring, wall treatments, kitchen, and bathroom materials, are not detailed in the project information.
