Ardales 29550 Land Building Offered at $4,464,863

Impressive buildable estate near Málaga. Rustic estate of 313 hectares, 773.44 acres, located in the municipality of Ardales, province of Málaga. It features buildings with more than 2,500 m2 constructed, within a Non-Developable Land without special protection. This allows for the development of transformation projects, permitting the construction of between 10 and 15 independent villas, a hotel, and/or a large equestrian center. The entire land area is currently used for dry cereal farming (190 ha) and olive groves (80 ha), with the rest designated for woodland and pasture. The estate also serves as an authorized and operational hunting area. The property is located at the foot of the Sierra de las Nieves, designated as a National Park—one of the 17 in Spain—offering absolutely unique beauty and extraordinary natural conditions: it is even possible to see mountain goats, in addition to the significant presence of deer and wild boar that are actively hunted on the existing hunting grounds on the estate. Just a few meters from the estate, you can find the southernmost Spanish firs in Europe. On the other side, along its western boundary, the estate borders a publicly owned mountain—managed by the Andalusian Water Agency—featuring a remarkable Mediterranean pine forest. This is a vast, fully protected mountain open to unrestricted access, greatly enhancing the possibilities for use and enjoyment of the property. In any case, the estate is outside the territory subject to restrictions due to the National Park, and thus not affected by those limitations. The estate is conveniently located in terms of infrastructure: just 10 minutes from Ardales and, from there, 30 minutes from Málaga airport via the Málaga-Seville highway—now fully authorized and partially completed over a 30-kilometer stretch—20 minutes from the Santa Ana AVE station in Antequera, and 1 hour from Marbella. The main river supplying the Guadalhorce reservoir (the Turón River) runs through the estate, a very stable watercourse with considerable flow, even home to wild mustelids. This important stream of clear waters, with pools, small lagoons, and noisy waterfalls, forms a beautiful natural ravine as it passes, crowned by steep rock formations that give the estate its name ("La Laja del Turón") and currently serve as one of the main sport climbing destinations in the province of Málaga. The estate includes a large farmhouse in good condition and fully operational for agricultural and livestock use: it is equipped with two modest service dwellings, several interconnected agricultural buildings with a total area of more than 2,500 m2, and a separate area with horse stalls. Additionally, there are two other ruined buildings, all of which are distant from each other. All buildings can legally be reconstructed, which, given the current extent of the buildings to be rebuilt, will allow for the execution of any farmhouse or ranch project, with its complementary agricultural facilities.
