Cortijo With Olive Groves For Sale In The Guadalcobacín River Valley

8km from Ronda, amidst farmland and olive groves in the valley of the Guadalcobacín River, we find a farmhouse with tradition and history, the so-called Cortijo de La Vizcondesa. Its name derives from the former owners, the Viscounts of Torres de Luzón, a title granted by Carlos II in the year 1674 to Don Juan Bernardino de Ahumada y Céspedes.

The farmhouse, located on a plot of almost 62 hectares, with 46 hectares of farmland and the rest olive groves, with the possibility of being sold separately, is in perfect working order. It has very good quality land for farming, with a vegetation cover of over 2 meters thick, abundant water, and drainage systems, bordering to the south with the Guadalcobacín River.

The farmhouse itself consists of the main house and a caretaker’s house, a chapel, an emblematic tower with a belfry and a viewpoint overlooking the Ronda mountain range, a livestock shed, two utility rooms, and a garden with a swimming pool.

The entrance to the farmhouse is preceded by a large square, partly paved and partly not, which leads through a simple entrance, flanked by two pillars, to a central courtyard with a round pond, pots and palm trees. At the back of the courtyard, we can see the building, consisting of a tower with a solid, sturdy appearance topped by a lookout with a gallery of lowered round arches, where a bell is housed.

Attached to the tower is a mansion, the owners’ residence on two floors. On the main floor, there is a living room with a fireplace, dining room, bedroom, sitting room, kitchen, and bathroom. Upstairs, there are 7 bedrooms and a bathroom. Behind this building, there are stables and some agricultural outbuildings. Linked to this building is another rectangular one-story structure, the caretaker’s residence, with two bedrooms, a living room with a fireplace, kitchen, and bathroom.

The closed-off appearance of the buildings of this farmhouse, as well as the tower with its galleries, lead us to believe that the original structure of the building was constructed in the late 17th or early 18th century, with subsequent expansions and renovations carried out over the years.

This farmhouse is fully functional with its farmland and olive groves, making it ideal for both agricultural and recreational exploitation.
