Finca/Landgut zu verkaufen in Soportújar, Granada

An exceptional property, a labour of love built for his personal use by a local builder who has decided to sell. Basically it is a 120 m2 three bedroom house on 3.2 Ha of south facing land, at an altitude of 900m and reached by 3km of track from Soportujar. The house was built in 2009, and consists of a large living room with an excellent woodburning stove, an open plan kitchen and three bedrooms and a shower room. In front of the house is a covered terrace with breathtaking views to the south, of the Guadalfeo valley, the Sierra Lujar, the Mediterranean, and on clear days the Rif mountains of Morocco. There is a modern two chamber fibreglass septic tank, four solar panels, with batteries and dc to ac converter to supply electricity for lighting, electronics etc., and a large generator to provide backup electricity if needed. Water to the house comes from a water deposit at the top of the land. The house has double glazing, and the roof has an air chamber for insulation.
The land consists of seven plots, arranged contiguously, in all 3.2 hectares, and classified variously as pasture, scrubland, unirrigated land, and some irrigated land. The land is mostly gently sloping hillside, and on one of the plots is a large ( 100 m2) ruin, suitable for restoration. There is also a large disused alberca ( water storage deposit) of traditional type. Instead of using this for water storage the owner has built, on the highest point of the land, a modern 40,000 litre cement water deposit, which is filled by water from the adjacent
Barranco de la Majada ( from which the land has water rights of 68 hours every fourteen days...when I saw the finca at the height of summer 2024, the water deposit was full to overflowing.) Tubing runs to the house, to supply domestic water, and also to drip irrigate some of the trees on the land. The owner has also a project to drill for water, and he says he will do this shortly. He has planted many chestnut, cherry and walnut trees, and there are some original oaks, one magnificent one next to the house. There is a good track that runs from the bottom of the finca to the top.
The house is not currently on the title deed, but the owner has a licence and all the paperwork necessary to do this at the time of transfer of ownership
