Cártama, Andalusia 29569

Historic Andalusian Inn, Licensed Rural House with Inn and Exclusive Luxury Rural Tourism Property Nestled in the rolling hills of the beautiful Guadalhorce Valley, surrounded by stunning mountain scenery and picturesque white villages, lies one of the most authentic hospitality properties in southern Spain. Originally built in 1852 as a traditional Andalusian inn and former grain mill, this exceptional finca has been lovingly restored to become an elegant country accommodation where authentic architecture, historic character and modern comfort are seamlessly integrated. Every corner of the property reflects its rich history while offering the luxury, comfort and atmosphere that the most discerning guests expect. Located just 35 minutes from Malaga International Airport and the beaches of the Costa del Sol, the property enjoys a privileged location in a charming Andalusian village of approximately 400 inhabitants. Here, guests enjoy absolute tranquility, privacy and an authentic Spanish living experience, without giving up the proximity of Malaga, Marbella, the airport and the many attractions of Andalusia. The property is officially registered with the Junta de Andalucía as a Superior Category Rural House and offers luxury accommodation for up to twelve guests distributed in six elegant suites. In addition, it has a valuable municipal license as a Rural House with Mesón, which allows the establishment to be operated both as rural tourism accommodation and as an authorized restaurant. This unusual combination of tourist registration and restoration licence provides extraordinary operational flexibility and numerous opportunities for future owners to continue to develop a successful business. In order to further strengthen the legal security of the property, the current owner has initiated, entirely at his own expense, the procedure for obtaining the AFO (Assimilated to Out of Order). The City Council has confirmed that the property meets the requirements for the concession of the AFO, with only the administrative issuance of the official certificate pending. Since the deadlines depend exclusively on the Administration, it is possible that the final certificate has not yet been issued at the time of sale. In such a case, the parties may agree that a part of the purchase price remains deposited in a guarantee account managed by the acting lawyer or notary until the official delivery of the AFO certificate. All expenses related to this procedure will be borne by the current owner, offering the buyer greater security and peace of mind, while allowing the operation to be formalized without unnecessary delays. Important: Due to this administrative situation, it is currently not possible to obtain mortgage financing on the property. The access through the quiet village marks the special character of the finca from the very first moment. Its winding streets lead to a property that conveys the feeling of being completely cut off from the outside world. On arrival, a large private car park, with several covered spaces, welcomes visitors before accessing manicured Mediterranean gardens with palm trees, flowering shrubs, mature trees and panoramic views over the Guadalhorce Valley and the Sierra de las Nieves. The finca extends over approximately 5,700 m², of which about 2,000 m² have been carefully landscaped for the enjoyment of guests. In the heart of the garden is a spectacular 10 x 6 metre swimming pool with integrated jacuzzi, surrounded by large terraces where you can relax while enjoying the magnificent Andalusian climate and uninterrupted mountain views. The restoration has been carried out with enormous respect for the history of the building. Original wooden beams over 150 years old, bricks recovered from old churches and monasteries, artisanal terracotta floors, traditional Arabic tiles and solid oak doors create a warm, elegant and totally authentic atmosphere. At the same time, all the current comforts have been discreet
