Exceptional Land and Redevelopment Opportunity in the much sought after valley of La Alcarria, Lubrin, Almería

An exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial area of land in the beautiful surroundings of La Alcarria, Almería, featuring an old cortijo with potential for redevelopment. Offering a blank canvas for a new vision, this property could appeal to buyers looking to create a bespoke countryside home, a private rural retreat or a distinctive hospitality project.

Several historic cortijos/farmhouses are within the plot. A two-story farmhouse (*cortijo*) and multiple covered and uncovered animal pens. Presently, irrigation is facilitated by utilizing half of the water supplied from a *noria* (well with a water wheel), owned jointly by neighbour and situated on the property, in addition water is sourced from the "Fuente de Abajo" (Lower Spring) for a period of five days and twenty hours each month.

The existing cortijo is considered more suitable for demolition and replacement than renovation, giving prospective purchasers the opportunity to explore a new-build project designed around their own needs and aspirations. Rather than adapting an existing layout, buyers could investigate the possibility of creating a home that reflects their personal style, preferred layout and vision for rural living, subject to planning permission and the relevant local regulations.

Create Your Own Vision

The land offers an opportunity to think beyond a conventional property purchase. For those dreaming of a home surrounded by the Almería countryside, it could be the starting point for a carefully designed rural residence with space, privacy and a strong connection to its natural surroundings.

Alternatively, the property may interest investors or developers exploring the potential for retreat-style accommodation, a boutique rural escape or a hospitality concept. With growing interest in experiences centred on tranquillity, nature and time away from busy urban environments, the setting could provide inspiration for a distinctive project, subject to the necessary planning, land-use and licensing approvals.

Land with Potential

The main appeal lies in the land itself and the opportunity to consider a project from the ground up. Whether the ambition is to create a personal countryside sanctuary or investigate a larger investment concept, prospective buyers can assess the site's characteristics and establish what may be possible under the applicable planning framework.

The existing cortijo provides a starting point for understanding the property's history and current condition, but purchasers should approach the opportunity with redevelopment in mind. Any proposed demolition, new construction, tourism use or commercial activity would need to be assessed and approved by the relevant authorities.

This could be of interest to private buyers, investors or developers seeking land on which to investigate a new rural property concept.

For buyers with a clear vision and a willingness to explore the planning process, this is an opportunity to consider creating something entirely their own.
