Description

Grupo Ibercosta is proud to present a truly unique and soulful property located in one of the most breathtaking corners of Southern Spain. If you have ever dreamed of escaping the frantic pace of modern life to embrace a sustainable, off-grid lifestyle, this hidden gem in Casares, Malaga, offers the perfect canvas. Nestled at the mouth of "El Canuto," a renowned nature reserve, this property provides a rare balance between the rugged beauty of the mountains and the refreshing proximity of the Costa del Sol’s coastline.

Unbeatable Location: Nature at Your Doorstep

The location of this estate is its most significant asset. Situated in Casares, one of Andalusia’s most iconic white villages, the property sits within a protected environment that feels worlds away from the tourist crowds, yet remains conveniently close to essential amenities. For nature enthusiasts, this is a sanctuary. Being at the gateway to El Canuto means you have immediate access to world-class hiking trails, challenging climbing walls, and exceptional bird-watching spots where eagles and vultures soar above the limestone cliffs.

Living here means waking up to the sounds of nature and the scent of wild herbs. While you are surrounded by the silence of the mountains, the Mediterranean Sea is just a short drive away, offering you the best of both worlds: a mountain retreat with a coastal soul. This specific area of Southern Spain is celebrated for its microclimate and its preserved natural beauty, making it a highly sought-after destination for those seeking authenticity and peace.

The Land: Fertile, Flat, and Functional

Spanning a generous 5,500 square meters, the land is remarkably flat and straight—a rare find in the mountainous terrain of Casares. This topography makes the plot incredibly versatile and easy to manage. The earth here is rich and fertile, currently home to several flourishing fruit trees. For those interested in permaculture or self-sufficiency, this land is a dream come true; it offers ample space and the perfect soil quality to grow your own organic vegetables and maintain a thriving orchard.

Furthermore, the property is perfectly suited for animal lovers. There is more than enough space for horses to roam, and the existing outbuildings and small sheds provide immediate storage for tools, tack, or feed. Whether you envision a hobby farm, a botanical garden, or a private equestrian estate, this land provides the foundation to bring those visions to life.

The Main Residence: A Rustic Off-Grid Home

The heart of the property is a charming 85-square-meter main house that captures the essence of rustic Spanish living. Built and maintained by a traditional Spanish gentleman, the home features two cozy bedrooms and a central living area anchored by a classic fireplace. This fireplace is not just a decorative element but the heart of the home during the cooler mountain evenings, providing warmth and a cozy atmosphere.

The property is fully equipped for off-grid living. It features its own water source directly from the land and a functional solar panel system for electricity. While the house is currently habitable and includes all the basics required for daily life, it also presents a wonderful opportunity for the new owner to modernize and personalize the space. With a little creative vision, this structure can be transformed into a high-end sustainable villa that reflects your personal style while maintaining its eco-friendly footprint.

A Strategic Investment and Legal Path

This property is currently offered as a "special listing" because the main house has not yet been formally registered on the property deeds. However, the structure has been in place for over 15 years, which is a significant advantage under Spanish regional regulations. While this means a traditional mortgage cannot be obtained for the house itself at this moment (though a mortgage on the land may be possible), it represents a significant value-add opportunity.

At Grupo Ibercosta, we are prepared to guide the new owners through the legal process of "AFO" or similar legalization frameworks. By formalizing the paperwork, you are not only securing your investment but also significantly increasing the market value of the property in the long term. This is a strategic purchase for a buyer with the liquidity and vision to finalize the administrative details of a long-established home.

Expand Your Horizons: Additional Land Available

For those who require even more privacy or wish to embark on a larger agricultural project, we have an exceptional addition available. The adjacent plot of land, spanning a massive 19,000 square meters, is also available for purchase for 120,000 Euros. Combining these two parcels would create a sprawling estate of nearly 2.5 hectares of prime Casares countryside, ensuring total privacy and endless possibilities for development.

If you are ready to transition to a greener, freer way of life in the heart of Southern Spain, this property in Casares is a must-see. Contact Grupo Ibercosta today to schedule a viewing and discover the magic of El Canuto for yourself. Your off-grid dream is waiting.
