Bédar, Almería, Andalusia, Spain

Set in the quiet hamlet of Los Pinos, less than 10 mins drive from the whitewashed village of Bedar, this enchanting cortijo offers a rare opportunity to enjoy traditional Andalusian living surrounded by unspoilt nature. With sweeping views of the mountains & countryside in every direction, the property combines rustic charm with comfort and practicality, making it ideal as a permanent home, a country retreat or even a boutique-style rental property.

The property is approached by a scenic country road that winds gently through the hills, giving a glimpse of the peace and tranquillity that awaits. Passing through double gates, there is a private space with ample parking for several vehicles and storerooms on the right. From the entrance gates, a stone pathway meanders through mature, low-maintenance Mediterranean gardens. A path leads to a shaded patio; a welcoming outdoor space for dining al fresco with friends, relaxing with a glass of wine, or simply soaking up the beauty of the surroundings.

Stepping inside, traditional double wooden doors open into a spacious entrance hall that immediately sets the tone for the home. Every detail reflects the character of a true Andalusian cortijo: thick whitewashed walls, exposed wooden beams and cool tiled floors. The living room is a good size, with a highly efficient wood-burning stove at its heart; the perfect spot to gather on cooler evenings. This space balances comfort with authenticity, creating a home that feels timeless yet lived-in. From the living room, an original stable door leads to the farmhouse kitchen/dining area. The bespoke wooden kitchen has been carefully designed to blend style and function, offering plenty of work surfaces and storage, while the open layout allows for a large dining table & chairs. A door leads directly out to the patio, ensuring seamless indoor-outdoor living; a hallmark of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

The ground floor also accommodates a high-ceilinged guest bedroom filled with natural light, along with the bright and airy master bedroom. Through a hallway is a spacious dressing room, which could easily serve as a home office or even an additional bedroom, if required. Both bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, complete with bathtub and walk-in shower.

From the main terrace, steps lead down to another patio shaded with traditional Andalusian seating. Here, you will find the self-contained annexe, perfect for visiting guests, extended family, or even as a potential rental opportunity. The annexe includes a cosy sitting room with original corner fireplace, a Moorish-inspired bedroom full of charm and a larger-than-average bathroom. This space feels private and independent, while still very much connected to the main home.

The outdoor areas of the cortijo are just as appealing as the interiors. Multiple terraces and seating areas are scattered throughout, each offering a different perspective of the mountains and valleys. Whether seeking sun, shade or privacy, there is always a perfect spot to sit and enjoy the views. The rear garden is planted with additional Mediterranean greenery and offers ample room for a swimming pool, subject to the relevant planning permissions.

Practicality has not been overlooked with 2 storerooms providing valuable storage, mains water & electricity already connected, and the convenience of fibre optic internet, making it easy to work remotely while still enjoying a slower, rural lifestyle.

The home captures the essence of traditional Andalusian living, offering charm, space & flexibility, all within easy reach of Bedar and the wider Almeria region.
