Andalucia, Malaga, Ríogordo, Spain

Just a stone’s throw from Riogordo, this charming and surprisingly spacious country villa enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining only five minutes from the village. Built in 2003, the property combines traditional Andalusian character with generous, open living spaces and offers excellent potential for someone looking to create a truly individual country home.
Upon arrival, there is ample parking space within the property. To the left are the former stables, a substantial two-storey building of approximately 70 m² per floor. The property also benefits from an ACO licence for up to five horses, making it particularly interesting for equestrian enthusiasts. Alternatively, the stable building offers numerous possibilities and could potentially be adapted into a garage, workshop, hobby space or guest accommodation, depending on the buyer’s needs and the relevant permissions.
The generous plot surrounding the villa provides plenty of scope to further develop the outdoor areas and create a cohesive, attractive garden connecting the different buildings. The existing structure and layout provide an excellent basis for a buyer who wants to modernise the property aesthetically while working with a very solid and well-built home.
A little further into the property, we reach the main house. We enter through the spacious kitchen, where the impressive 3.5-metre-high wooden ceilings immediately catch the eye. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility and laundry room.
The living room is exceptionally spacious, with windows on several sides allowing plenty of natural light to enter. A brand-new fireplace and chimney have recently been installed, creating an attractive focal point and adding warmth and character to the room. Together with the high ceilings, this gives the living area a wonderfully open yet inviting atmosphere.
One of the notable qualities of the house is its construction. The way the property has been built helps to naturally maintain a very pleasant indoor temperature throughout the seasons, an important advantage in the Andalusian climate.
At the rear of the living room is a bedroom with a separate bathroom. With only a minor adjustment, this could easily be converted into an en-suite, creating a comfortable ground-floor bedroom suite.
On the first floor are two further bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from large south-facing windows overlooking the surrounding olive groves — a peaceful and beautiful view to wake up to.
Both the main house and the outbuildings are fully regularised under DAFO. The property is also connected to mains water and electricity and has a certified septic tank.
With its solid construction, spacious interiors, equestrian licence, substantial outbuildings and proximity to Riogordo, this is a property with considerable potential. It is ideal for buyers who appreciate the existing character but also see the opportunity to update the aesthetics and transform it into a stylish and highly individual country home.
