Finca – Cortijo in Alora

A Home with Soul in Álora – A 19th-Century Gem Lovingly Restored

In a peaceful corner of Álora, just two minutes from the village and 45 minutes from Málaga city, lies this unique property full of history and charm. A 19th-century house, fully restored with care and respect for its original character, offering 213 m² of built space where every detail has been thoughtfully preserved.

The home features three bedrooms, one bathroom, a separate kitchen, and a warm, inviting living-dining room with a fireplace – the perfect space to slow down and enjoy. The master bedroom is a true retreat: a split-level suite with the bed on a mezzanine and, below, a walk-in wardrobe and cozy private sitting area.

From the spacious porch, you step onto a 159 m² terrace overlooking the mature garden and a 50 m² swimming pool, surrounded by trees over 30 years old that provide natural shade, serenity, and a romantic Mediterranean atmosphere. The plot, just over 4,000 m², also includes a barbecue area with a wood-fired oven – ideal for gathering with family and friends.

The property has abundant water from its own well (for irrigation and the pool), in addition to mains water, an automated irrigation system, and is connected to the electricity network.

This is not just a house you visit – it’s a home you feel. Its emotional and architectural value can only truly be appreciated in person. A place to live slowly, surrounded by nature, beauty, and timeless Andalusian charm.
