Description

This historic Andalusian cortijo, set within the rolling hills of the Subbética Cordobesa, offers a rare opportunity to acquire a working olive estate with deep historical and architectural value. Located near the Anzur River and just 7.5 km from the town of Rute, the property sits in a privileged rural setting with panoramic views of the Sierra de Rute, yet within easy reach of Lucena and Málaga.

 

The estate extends across just over 43 hectares, of which more than 41 hectares are dedicated to traditional olive groves with approximately 3,000 hojiblanca olive trees, a variety prized for its drought resistance and native to this region of Andalusia. The land is gently undulating with rich clay soil, scattered holm oaks, and riverside vegetation that supports local wildlife, including small game. A registered hunting preserve adds to the estate’s appeal for countryside pursuits.

 

Water is sourced from a permanent spring, ensuring year-round supply, and supported by two wells, one of which is fully operational. The property also includes a productive vegetable garden irrigated via an acequia system, a testament to traditional land management methods still in use today.

 

The cortijo itself is a prime example of 19th-century agricultural architecture and is listed in the official inventory of Cortijos, Lagares, and Haciendas of Córdoba. Built in 1847 and extended over time, the residence has 666 m² of built area, structured around a central courtyard and divided into two distinct areas.

 

The main residential section, spread over three floors, includes the former workers’ quarters and original kitchen on the ground floor, now partially transformed into a rustic sitting room and dining space. The second floor houses six bedrooms, a bathroom, a laundry room, a large lounge with an oratory, and a formal dining room. The third floor is a spacious, undivided attic, offering additional potential for conversion.

 

Surrounding the house are gardens, a swimming pool, a riding arena, and several recreation areas. Adjacent agricultural buildings include a large former olive mill, now used as a barn, garage, and stables, along with a historic oruja room and additional animal quarters.

 

With its strong rural identity, historic features, and working olive production, this cortijo is ideal for those looking to live in or develop a rural tourism project in the heart of Andalusia. The combination of usable land, water resources, and authentic architecture makes this a rare and valuable property.
