Two stone built cortijos in the traditional Alpujarran style. The properties are set some meters apart with easy access from the main road, no long dusty tracks so ideal for living in one and letting the other. Both are in liveable condition but could do with some updating to modern standards. The first house has a large living/dining/kitchen with open fireplace and wooden beamed ceilings, a single bedroom and a double along with the famiy bathroom. The second house is similar with a large open plan living/dining kitchen, shower room and large double bedroom. Outside there are nice terraces to sit and admire the views towards Pampaneira to one side and the poqueria Valley to the South side. An ideal property for someone who wants ot live in Spain and have an income.
