Finca - Cortijo for sale in Colmenar
We are proud to exclusively present you this extraordinary cortijo-finca with a rare blend of space, comfort, privacy and Andalusian charm.
Nestled in the heart of the rolling hills of Colmenar, this magnificent estate with 2 separated guest houses features 500M built on more than 8.000M2 land! It is located in the heart of the Axarquía region in Andalusia, Costa del Sol, at only 45 min of Malaga.
Imagine arriving via an easy tarmac road crossing incredible nature sceneries, the gate swinging open to reveal a fully-fenced estate, its boundaries discreet yet defined, giving you that coveted sense of complete containment and security. Another gate gives you access to the ample and secured parking.
At the entrance you'll find a cosy fish pound next to an large terrace where guest can enjoy a BBQ or relaxing in lounge chairs while enjoying the gorgeous view. There is a separate old little house next to it where you can read or relax.
Here are the details and the story of what makes this property truly special:
At easy reach of the hamlet of Alfarnatejo, the cortijo enjoys both tranquility and accessibility. The views stretch out across the rugged mountains of the Axarquía and down towards the Mediterranean coastline, offering daily spectacle from dawn to dusk. The air is fresh, the horizon broad.
Accommodation & Layout:
The main residence includes 3 generous bedrooms with 2 well-appointed bathrooms.
Two additional self-contained guest houses add versatility — perfect for extended family, friends or to enjoy rental income as the property has a tourist license.
The first guest house has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The other one looks like a “Royal Suite”, complete with 1 bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a kitchen and a cosy seating area. From the spacious private terrace you’re overlooking the incredible mountains and nature.
All of the bedrooms are designed to soak in the views and the light, with large windows/terraces, and thoughtful placement so that each of your guests or family members gets a sense of space.
The main house enjoys its own terraces and complete privacy.
With multiple living areas (formal and informal), everyone will find a comfortable zone for relaxing, entertaining, or simply reading a book in quiet.
The architecture honours the region’s rustic heritage: warm terracota floors, exposed wood beams, thick white-washed walls, and touches of traditional detail that root the property beautifully in its Andalusian context. All this in combination with a fantastic warm decoration and all modern comfort.
The estate is connected to the main electricity network and has its own water well, providing plenty of fresh water directly from the mountain. There is an additional deposit of 8.000 L. The water is of excellent quality! It is filtered and passes through a UV lamp instead of chlorine.
For the cooler winters, the house is equipped with central heating, diesel-powered and very economical! The boiler is new and still under warranty.
Garden, Outdoor Spaces & Pool Area:
One of the property’s shining features is the expansive garden and pool environment:
Vast grounds: gentle terraces, lawns, Mediterranean plantings, olive and citrus trees
A magnificent saltwater pool with sun terrace, dining areas and panoramic views
A toilet, shower and storage space near the pool
Illuminated pool-stairs for magical evening ambience
The fenced nature of the property means that whether you’re relaxing by the pool or strolling through the garden, you enjoy complete privacy.
Views, Atmosphere & Privacy:
The essence of this Cortijo is the feeling of elevation and openness:
Stunning views over mountains, valleys and a distant glimpse of the sea
Private, tranquil, yet not isolated
Pure air, starry nights, natural silence
Lifestyle & Opportunities:
More than a house — a lifestyle:
Perfect for:
✔ Large families or multi-generational living
✔ Boutique holiday rental or rural tourism (tourist license included)
✔ Lovers of nature, gardening, hiking, cycling, horses, pool-life
✔ A primary residence or exclusive second home
Alfarnate is the only village in Málaga province that grows cherries. Cherry blossom in March, and in late June the village hosts its famous Cherry Festival. Together with Alfarnatejo, the area is nicknamed the “Pyrenees of the Costa del Sol.”
