Timeless Elegance with Room to Grow: A 300-Year-Old Cortijo Oasis in Spain’s Murcian Countryside Discover a rare blend of history, charm, and modern luxury in this 300-year-old cortijo nestled in Spain’s tranquil Murcian countryside. Once owned by the famed bullfighter Pedro Barrera Elbal, this 600m² property rests on 20,000m² of land, adorned with pine, almond, and olive trees. Currently running as a successful B&B with a 9.2 rating on Booking.com and a 5-star rating on TripAdvisor, this property offers both a thriving business and opportunities for enhancement. Luxurious Living with Potential: Meticulously renovated, the cortijo features seven luxury suites with ensuite bathrooms. The ground floor includes a welcoming lounge with an antique log-burning stove, a dining room with an open fire, and a fully-equipped kitchen/living/office area. While the property is fully functional, there is room for personalization or expansion to elevate its appeal further. Endless Possibilities: The first floor houses a tranquil library, additional bedroom suites, and a storeroom. The property is rich in character, featuring solid wooden doors, treated wooden beams, and other traditional elements. However, there is potential to modernize or add features that could enhance the cortijo’s luxury, making it even more appealing to contemporary buyers. Charming Grounds with Opportunities: Outside, the cortijo is surrounded by beautiful gardens with a chlorine-free 14m x 5m swimming pool, olive, almond, pine, and fruit trees. The outdoor kitchen, wood-burning BBQ, and stable with a fenced paddock add to the charm. The extensive grounds offer further landscaping opportunities, additional amenities, or expansion of the B&B business. Strategic Location: Situated between the Murcian villages of La Encarnacion and La Almudema, just 12 minutes from Caravaca de la Cruz, the cortijo is ideally located near natural parks, vineyards, and historic sites. With Region of Murcia (Corvera) airport 50 minutes away and Alicante airport just 1.5 hours away, the property is perfect for both business and leisure travelers. It’s also 40 minutes from the beach and three hours from Granada and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Business Ready with Modern Conveniences: Fully refurbished with new roofs, plumbing, and electrics, the cortijo is equipped with oil-fired radiators, solar panels, and all modern utilities. With an existing tourist license and exceptional ratings, this property is already a thriving business, but there’s potential to increase its value and profitability with further investment. Unleash the Potential: This cortijo offers a unique opportunity to blend historical charm with modern luxury and business potential. With thoughtful enhancements, it could become an even more prestigious destination in the Spanish countryside.
