Country Villa with Pool and Organic Farm

Imagine waking up to the golden Andalusian sun spilling over 7,200 m² of rich, organic farmland, surrounded by a veritable forest of fruit-bearing trees—avocados, almonds, oranges, lemons, persimmons, and even kumquats. This certified organic farm near the village of Árchez is more than a property; it’s a lifestyle wrapped in nature's bounty. Not only do you have an array of fruit trees, but there’s also 450 vines winding their way across the property, ideal for those looking to dabble in their own wine production.

The main farmhouse is a blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a light-filled living room with a cosy fireplace. The kitchen? Completely updated, perfect for whipping up dishes with ingredients sourced directly from your own land. On the practical side, there’s double glazing on the windows, new shutters, and mosquito nets—thoughtfully renovated to merge comfort with functionality. Outside, you’ll find a spacious pool with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, providing the perfect spot to enjoy a swim under the Andalusian sun.

The property also includes an alarm system, a covered terrace, a roof terrace, three storage rooms, and two water reserves—one with 20,000 litres for irrigation and another with 3,000 litres for drinking water. And if you’re considering expanding into agri-tourism or taking your organic produce global, this farm is already marketing its fruits internationally, making it an attractive investment for those interested in sustainable agriculture and trade. All this just minutes away from the charming village of Árchez, and near the towns of Canillas de Albaida and Cómpeta.
