This property of 11.737 square metres of land is located on a privileged hillside with spectacular views of the countryside and mountains in the municipality of Loja, Province of Granada and only 2,5 kilometres from the town of Villanueva de Tapia, very close to the meeting of the provincial boundaries of the provinces of Granada, Malaga and Cordoba. This cortijo has been almost completely renovated since 2010 and its owner, a lover of nature and energy conservation, has managed to transform the property into an ecological and very economical home to live in, because the maintenance costs are minimal compared to other properties.
