<p style="margin-right: 5; margin-left: 5" align="justify">A lovely spacious town house with 7 bedrooms in the old centre of Loja, in Granada province. The house comprises on the ground floor of an entrance hallway, a reception with staircase, a lounge, a dining room, and a fully fitted kitchen. On the first floor are four bedrooms and two en-suite batrooms, and a covered roof terrace.

<p style="margin-right: 5; margin-left: 5" align="justify">This finca is the last house at the end of a track in a sheltered valley. It's location enjoys a mild microclimate, allowing you to grow avocados, mangos or chirimoyas, for example, without any problem at all. Although here are neighbours, the last bit of the track takes you to your own world, and that is difficult to find nowadays. The views are beautiful in their own way, because down in the valley is irrigated land where you'll occasionally see people working in their citrus plantation. But the main attraction of this property is its privacy.<br><br>The three bedrooms of the house are really something else. They are each oriented in a different direction in the house, away from each other. Two of the bedrooms have access by means of an individual staircase, and the third one would be suitable to turn into separate guest accommodation. But if need to, you can easily rent two rooms out in B&B style. The bathroom is very spacious and is located right next to the entrance hall. The house itself is just gorgeous: look at the photos and convince yourself. If you've always dreamed of living in a real 'Spanish classic', then this is definitely your chance.<br><br>The land that comes with the house is divided in terraces. The swimming pool for example is at a lower level than the house. And that is very practical if don't all want to do the same things all the time. The property has a beautifully landscaped garden, which is also easy to maintain. Village such as Colmenar and Riogordo are at a 10 minutes' drive from the house. You're guaranteed to fall in love with at least one of them, if not both.</p>]]>

<p style="margin-right: 5; margin-left: 5" align="justify">A sweet holiday home at a beautiful spot, that feels really good. The house stands on a hill in the middle of a smaller valley, and yet you have good views. And that  makes this such a nice property. All considered, the price is actually very good for a detached property, and is certainly influenced by the current market conditions. Of course the owners are welcoming you to put in an offer.<br><br>The house itself isn't very big with it's 70 square metres, of course, but the location offers one Europe's best climates, even in winter, so you'll be spending a lot of your time outdoors. The house has two bedrooms, and a stone-built lean-to at the side of the house, offering enough space for a workshop or a third bedroom, whatever you want.<br><br>The plot around the house is very useable, allowing you to keep a horse or two, or some other live stock. Currently, the property is only being used to work the land, and therefor the well hasn't been connected to the house yet. Electricity too needs to be connected. The mains power connection will cost around 4,500 euros, but if you decide to buy this property, we'll get a new quotation for you.</p>]]>

<title>A fantastic traditional cortijo in a truly idyllic place in natural park</title>

<a href="http://www.montesdemalaga.com/EN/466" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://www.montesdemalaga.com/Star/Properties/466/Ref466.jpg" width="120" height="80" alt="Spanish property for sale in Montes de Malaga" border="0" align="absmiddle"></a> Montes de Malaga&nbsp;&#9679;&nbsp;6-10 bedrooms&nbsp;&#9679;&nbsp;400 m2&nbsp;&#9679;&nbsp;650,000 euros

<p style="margin-right: 5; margin-left: 5" align="justify">Against the backdrop of the Montes de Malaga natural park, with its beautiful scenery and old ventas, this is truly an idyllic place, ideal to experience the Spanish life. This fantastic traditional cortijo, or Andalucian farm-house, near Colmenar does not leave much to be desired. The building is in excellent condition and completely original. The house, with 400 square metres of built surface, is ready to live in and can easily be converted into a Bed & Breakfast or a more stylish rural country hotel.<br><br>Try and find a house like this these days, they are few and far between. Currently, the house has six bedrooms and one bathroom, but there is enough space available to create at least another four bedrooms, or extra bathrooms. Although the house doesn’t require major renovation works, it definitely needs refurbishing. You’ll want to have a decent kitchen installed, for example, and some form of heating for the cooler winter months.<br><br>This is an ideal place for horse lovers too, with more than enough space for lots of horses. There are no less then 60 acres of land, part of which is practically flat, while other parts are steeper but those can be terraced to offer more possibilities. Right now there are mainly olive and almond trees, and a few old oak trees near the house which will offer refreshing shade in summer.<br><br>If you are wondering about the possibilities in the tourist trade, than this would make an ideal retreat: a place away from the hasty world, but in a very charming environment, where you can quiet down completely. The house is approached via a long track of about 5 kilometres, guaranteeing total privacy, and peace and quiet. The views are absolutely unequalled and the property is ideally situated with respect to the many sights to see.<br><br>From here, it takes 35 minutes to get to the Costa del Sol beaches, 25 minutes for Málaga and the international airport. There'll be never a dull moment. Enjoy one of Andalucia's many fiestas, restaurants and bars, local markets, bull fighting, water and adventure parks, go skiing in the Sierra Nevada, or designer shopping in Marbella, play golf on one of over 30 golf courses in Málaga, water sports, beautiful beaches and much, much more.</p>]]>

<title>A huge village house with 24 large rooms to renovate</title>

<a href="http://www.montesdemalaga.com/EN/496" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://www.montesdemalaga.com/Star/Properties/496/Ref496.jpg" width="120" height="80" alt="Spanish property for sale in Colmenar" border="0" align="absmiddle"></a> Colmenar&nbsp;&#9679;&nbsp;24 bedrooms&nbsp;&#9679;&nbsp;425 m2&nbsp;&#9679;&nbsp;205,000 euros

<p style="margin-right: 5; margin-left: 5" align="justify">A huge village house with the dimensions of a small country hotel. It needs a lot of work done, but the building still has  a lot of original Andalucian elements that make it more than worth your while to restore it. And once it's finished, you will have something truly unique.<br><br>The property offers several possibilities. At the moment it comprises no less than 24 large rooms, plus a number of smaller rooms. So you could indeed turn it into a small, special hotel, with about 15 rooms with ensuite bathrooms. Or make it into a large Bed and Breakfast with 20 rooms, and even then there will still be enough space left for yourself. Or you can divide the building into 4 apartments plus a private dwelling for yourself. You could then sell those apartments or rent them out.<br><br>One of the unusual characteristics of the property are its two patios. One of the patios is almost like a Moroccan 'ryad': a square court surrounded by rooms at all four sides and even several rooms upstairs look out upon this patio. In other words, the ideal spot for an amazing mosaic floor, a splashing fountain and lemon trees that bear deliciously fragrant blossom almost all year round. The other patio is roomier and would be just the right location for a nice terrace, where catalpa trees provide the necessary shade and Mediterranean plants will make you feel you've entered a completely different world.<br><br>The house has several entrances, due to the fact that at some point in the past it was inhabited by three families at the same time. Other curiosities are its three kitchens and three bathrooms, although these latter won't live up to modern expectations. But it is exactly this kind of oddities that make this house the very special property that it really is. And just the sheer size of the house gives it so many possibilities that there are probably more options than you can imagine. Whatever it is you wanted to come and do in Spain: in this house it will just be possible.</p>]]>

<p style="margin-right: 5; margin-left: 5" align="justify">A jewel of a rural house with a traditional atmosphere out in the countryside of <a href="http://www.montesdemalaga.com/Culture/Villages/Colmenar_EN.php">Colmenar</a>. The house comprises a spacious living room with open plan kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. There is enough space at the side of the house to put in a large terrace of even a spacious conservatory, making this property absolutely suitable for permanent residence.<br><br>At that same side of the house is a garage, wich you could use as such, of course, but it would also make for a nice separate guest apartment. From here the views are gorgeous, over the mountains of the <a href="http://www.montesdemalaga.com/Nature/Montes/MontesMalaga_EN.php">Montes de Malaga</a>, where late January hundreds of almond trees with their cream-coloured blossom forbode spring. On clear days, you can even see the Mediterranean Sea from here. The location of the property is very rural. A track takes you to your own world, peaceful and quiet. And it has a mild microclimate, giving you the best of the Spanish winter.</p>]]>

<p style="margin-right: 5; margin-left: 5" align="justify">Really a nice house with a number of very attractive aspects. Just look at the photos and imagine the furniture gone, and you will be surprised about the amount of space the house actually offers. The kitchen gives access to a small but functional patio. And from one of the bedrooms you walk onto a balcony from which you have magnificent views over the red-tiled roofs of Colmenar and the surrounding landscape. <br><br>But the house also has a second floor with a spacious roof terrace, perfect to enjoy the sun, while overlooking the vast valley all the way up to the high, snow-covered peaks of the Sierra Nevada. So it may be modest in size, but a complete and qualitatively very good home. The current owner has a mortgage on the house, which makes it possible to buy this property with about 25,000 euros in cash. There you go, buying your own piece of Spain is now very feasible.</p>]]>

There is also a covered area where you can store your burning wood, and a separate building of about 60 square metres. It's really a stable and would be great to keep some live stock. The rental potential is really in the main house. Finally, there is indoor parking space.<br><br>In this tiny hamlet, with only a handful of Spanish neighbours, you'll occasionally run into a friendly pig, owned by one of the neighbours. Or a couple of free-range chickens, experimenting with ecological gardening on your doorstep. That's what rural country life is about, the sensation, the sounds, the smells. It's all there: rural Spain at its best.</p>]]>
