Arcos De La Frontera Property

Country Estate with Olive Mill
Large cortijo with guest accommodation, infinity pool, olive mill and 10 hectares of productive land
Set in the countryside just 10 minutes from Arcos de la Frontera in the province of Cádiz, this substantial 10-hectare estate combines a traditional Andalusian cortijo with extensive guest accommodation, productive agricultural land, an olive mill, event facilities and a comprehensive range of agricultural buildings and equipment. With a total of 13 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms across the different buildings, the property offers considerable potential as a large private estate, bed & breakfast, rural accommodation business or agricultural project. The Main Cortijo At the heart of the estate is a spacious traditional Andalusian cortijo arranged around a central courtyard. The main private accommodation includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Around the traditional courtyard are a further two ground-floor bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. The house retains the characteristic layout and architecture of a traditional cortijo, with generous spaces that lend themselves equally well to family living and guest accommodation. Independent Apartments In addition to the main cortijo, there are two completely independent apartments, providing useful separation between owners, guests or staff. The first apartment has two bedrooms and one bathroom, while the second offers three bedrooms and one bathroom. Across the main house and independent accommodation, the estate provides a total of 13 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, giving it particular potential for a bed & breakfast or rural tourism project, subject to the relevant permissions and licences. Pool & Outside Areas Close to the residential buildings is an impressive 12 x 8 metre infinity swimming pool, with a uniform depth of approximately 1.30 metres. The area immediately surrounding the pool is currently unfinished, giving a new owner the opportunity to complete the terraces and landscaping according to their own requirements. The extensive grounds and different buildings provide plenty of scope for creating further recreational and outdoor areas. Events Space & Olive Mill One of the more unusual features of the property is a large building designed for meetings, celebrations and private events. It has its own kitchen and provides a substantial separate space away from the main residential accommodation. Within this building is a small olive mill with machinery capable of processing up to approximately 500 kg of olives per hour. This provides the possibility of producing extra virgin olive oil from the estate’s own harvest and potentially processing olives for other local growers, subject to any applicable licences and regulations. Agricultural Land The approximately 10 hectares are divided into two distinct areas. Around five hectares are planted with rain-fed olive trees, while a further five hectares consist of irrigated agricultural land forming part of an irrigation community. The irrigated land provides considerable flexibility for cultivation and could potentially be planted with a super-intensive irrigated olive grove, depending on the plans of the new owner and any applicable agricultural requirements. Water & Electricity The property is connected to the municipal drinking water supply and also has a 36,000-litre water cistern, providing a substantial reserve for the day-to-day needs of the estate. Mains electricity is connected. In addition, the property has an installation of 50 photovoltaic panels, stated to produce approximately 180 kWh per day, compared with a current consumption of around 30 kWh per day. This provides substantial on-site electricity generation alongside the mains connection. Agricultural Buildings & Equipment The estate includes several additional agricultural buildings used for storing machinery, tools and other equipment. There are also a number of horse stables, adding another possible use to what is already a particularly versatile property. A comprehensive selection of agricultural machinery and equipment is included in the sale, allowing the existing agricultural activity to be continued without the need to acquire all the principal equipment separately. Arcos de la Frontera & Connections Arcos de la Frontera is one of the best-known white towns of Cádiz, dramatically positioned above the Guadalete River and providing a wide range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, schools, healthcare and everyday services. The estate is approximately 10 minutes from Arcos, while Jerez de la Frontera and Jerez Airport are around 35 minutes away. The beaches of the Bay of Cádiz can be reached in approximately 45–50 minutes, and Seville Airport is around an hour away.
