The best part? An architect has already confirmed the feasibility of all these exciting improvements! Unlimited potential to design your ultimate paradise. Crucial Details for You, Future Owner While it's true you're just 25 minutes from Málaga, it's important to note that the final 4 km of the access road are currently unpaved dirt. This certainly adds an authentic rustic touch, but it can be a bit trickier to navigate in the rain or with low-clearance vehicles. However, here's the game-changer: there are approved plans to pave this entire section by July 2025. This will not only drastically improve access but also skyrocket the property's value! Another detail to consider is that a main country road crosses a portion of the property, meaning your main garden area is situated on the other side. While common in rural Andalusian fincas, it's a detail that can be seamlessly integrated into your overall design and planning. This country home is simply unique. It offers profound peace, generous space, and limitless potential. It's the perfect choice for dedicated nature lovers, remote workers seeking inspiration, or anyone yearning for a more conscious and grounded lifestyle. It's truly move-in ready, yet simultaneously offers a blank canvas, brimming with possibilities for those who dream of personalizing their home in an idyllic rural setting. A fascinating fact? Very close to this very spot, nestled in the heart of the Montes de Málaga, stood the rural finca where a young Pablo Picasso spent part of his adolescence. Yes, the very olive oil estate belonging to his godparents that inspired one of his earliest iconic works: "Montes de Málaga" (1897)! Imagine, art and history intertwined with your own landscape! If you deeply value nature, privacy, eco-living, and understand the unique charm of rural access, this could unequivocally be your perfect escape. And a final, valuable bonus: the property already holds its tourist license! Feeling intrigued? Don't hesitate! Contact us today to arrange your personal viewing.
