Lorca, Murcia, Spain

Set in an elevated position within gently sloping land, this detached farmhouse is surrounded by open countryside and thousands of olive trees. With no immediate neighbours and no passing traffic, the setting is exceptionally peaceful, yet daily amenities remain within easy reach.

The house measures approximately 180m², including the attached garage, and is positioned to take full advantage of panoramic views across the surrounding mountains & olive groves. In front of the property, there is a carport which gives direct access through double doors into the large garage and workshop. From here, a spacious concrete terrace leads to an extensive covered porch with a built-in barbecue. This area is ideal for outdoor dining, relaxing, and enjoying the Mediterranean climate whilst soaking up the open views.

Stepping inside, the main entrance door opens into a generous open-plan kitchen, dining & living area with a fireplace and wood-burning stove, creating a warm and welcoming heart to the home. The kitchen is fully fitted with granite worktops, wall & base units and integrated appliances, including a gas hob, extractor, electric oven, microwave and fridge/freezer. An archway leads through to a separate utility room which is home to a W/C could easily be converted into an additional shower room if desired.

Adjacent to the dining area is a spacious double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. Next to the living area is another bedroom, currently used as a dressing room, with an office space. This room also provides internal access to the garage and workshop. From the living room, an archway leads to a short hallway giving access to 2 further double bedrooms with a family shower room positioned between them. Air conditioning units are installed in the living room and two of the bedrooms, ensuring comfort throughout the year.

The property sits within more than 17 hectares of land, fully planted with around 5,000 Arbequina olive trees, one of the most highly regarded varieties for producing premium olive oil. The current owners have produced excellent quality organic extra virgin olive oil by taking the olives directly from the trees to the press, offering genuine potential for agricultural income for those wishing to continue the project.

In addition to the main house, the finca includes a detached barn or agricultural garage of approximately 61m² set on a higher level with an extended terrace to the front. On a further upper level there is a small detached storage shed of approx. 10m², along with two substantial underground concrete water deposits with capacities of approximately 150m³ and 300m³ respectively.

Access to the property is via a stable rural track of approx. 3km which leads into a concrete parking area beside the house. A gently sloping gravel driveway continues up to the barn, with a further flat gravelled area in front, and then on to the storage shed and water deposits. The house itself sits at the top of the gently sloping garden, maximising the views and sense of privacy.

Utilities include mains electricity, supported by a 6.3 kW solar panel system, making electricity costs virtually negligible (in some cases ?0), along with the availability of three-phase power. Water is supplied via a borehole. There is also ample space to install a private swimming pool, subject to the relevant planning permissions for the area.

Despite its secluded setting, the property is only a 10-12 minute drive from the market town of Puerto Lumbreras, which is home to supermarkets, shops, bars and restaurants for everyday living. The historic town of Lorca is approximately 25 minutes away, while the blue-flag beaches of Aguilas and San Juan de los Terreros can be reached in around 50 minutes. The A-91 motorway is just a short drive away, providing good connections to the wider region.

This is a truly special rural property, combining complete privacy, productive land and beautiful natural surroundings. A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the location, character, and potential.
