Finca - Cortijo in Alora
Timeless Andalusian Elegance in Álora - More (better) pictures and video on the way
A rare opportunity – first time on the market in over 150 years
Nestled on the gentle slopes just outside the historic white town of Álora, this exceptional country cottage embodies the very essence of Andalusian elegance. With origins dating back more than 150 years, the property is being offered for sale for the first time — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a home that has been loved, curated, and perfected across generations, and most especially by its current owners.
Every stone, every plant, every architectural detail reflects the deep devotion of those who have tended to it with the care of true custodians. The result is a home of rare sophistication — graceful, authentic. and refined.
This is Andalusia at its purest — far removed from the bustle of the Costa del Sol, yet within easy reach of it. Álora’s strategic location provides effortless access to nearby towns, beaches, and cultural sites. The property itself has been maintained to the highest standards, with every element thoughtfully considered. Even the hand-cut stones supporting the first floor and the intricate detailing of the fireplace reveal an almost unnecessary — yet utterly delightful — level of craftsmanship.
Álora is an important town in the region, offering all essential services and a vibrant social and cultural life. Nature surrounds the area, from the distinctive El Hacho mountain with its scenic climbs and walks to El Chorro and the world-famous Caminito del Rey, both just a short drive away.
The grounds extend over 3,300 m² of orange groves and 800 m² of landscaped gardens, embracing a beautiful swimming pool and an elegantly designed outdoor dining area with a barbecue and wood oven — perfect for long Andalusian evenings. Everywhere, the air is scented with orange blossom; the light and views shift gently throughout the day, creating a timeless, almost poetic atmosphere of serenity and life.
Accessed via a quiet country lane with no through traffic, the property offers total privacy — yet remains close to everything. The charming town of Álora, with its cafés, shops, and ancient castle, is just minutes away, while Málaga’s international airport and high-speed train connections are under 40 minutes.
This is not simply a property — it is a living piece of Andalusian heritage, exuding elegance and a profound understanding of its cultural and natural setting. A home where history, craftsmanship, and nature exist in perfect harmony — waiting for its next owner to continue its story.
