Asking Price: €525,000

Commanding breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views over the rolling Andalusian countryside and the sparkling waters of the Lake of Iznájar, this pristine country estate represents the pinnacle of luxurious rural living. Spanning a fully modernized main house and a versatile, self-contained separate casita (guest cottage), this 4-to-5-bedroom, 5-bathroom property has been painstakingly renovated with an uncompromising commitment to structural integrity, modern comfort, and high-end design.pool

Originally purchased in 2015, the current owners embarked on a total property reformation in 2016. Executed by expert local craftsmen and builders, the entire restoration was fully approved, permitted, and signed off by the local town hall. The estate offers a rare equilibrium: a peaceful country haven enveloped by silver olive groves and rich local wildlife, yet positioned just 1.5 kilometers via a tarmac lane from the main road. The traditional village center of Iznájar, alongside the pristine shores of Valdearenas inland beach, local bars, and water sports amenities, is an effortless eight-minute drive away.

The Main Residence: Architectural Flow and Premium Finishes

Every square meter of the main home has been masterfully engineered. Both floors feature perfectly leveled foundations, providing an open-plan, flowing ambiance while maintaining distinctly defined rooms. To ensure year-round climate control, all interior and exterior walls on both levels are fully insulated, pairing with eco-friendly hot/cold inverter air conditioning units and high-specification German-profile double-glazed windows and doors. Every window and French door is additionally equipped with persianas (traditional integrated roller blinds) and mosquiteras (fly screens).

This dual-aspect culinary space features premium Silestone countertops, a substantial central preparation island, and a dining area overlooking the manicured rear garden.

ABOUT THE AREA

Iznájar is a captivating cliffside village located in the southernmost corner of the Córdoba province in Andalusia, Spain. Perched high on a rocky promontory, the town offers a dramatic and highly picturesque visual profile, as its winding maze of whitewashed houses seems to float directly over the water below. This unique geographic feature is a result of the sprawling Iznájar Reservoir—frequently referred to as the “Lake of Andalusia”—which wraps around the base of the hill and stands as the largest reservoir in the entire region.

The town’s rich historical heritage dates back thousands of years, having transitioned from a prehistoric Iberian settlement into a fortified stronghold during the Moorish rule of the 8th century. The Arab settlers constructed a grand fortress atop the hill named Hins Ashar (meaning “stone castle”), from which the modern name Iznájar is directly derived. Today, visitors can explore the remarkable 1,200-year-old castle ruins and walk through the historic Patio de las Comedias, a vibrant, blue-potted courtyard that historically served as a central hub for theatrical culture.

Beyond its rich architecture, Iznájar serves as a natural gateway to the stunning Sierra Subbéticas Natural Park, surrounded by rolling hills and vast landscapes of endless olive groves. The massive reservoir has transformed the area into an unexpected inland beach destination, particularly at the Valdearenas recreational site. Here, locals and travelers flock to swim, fish, or enjoy water sports like kayaking, sailing, and paddle surfing against a backdrop of rugged mountain peaks.

For air travel, the absolute closest airport to the village is Federico García Lorca Granada-Jaén Airport (GRX), located approximately 48 kilometers to the east (about a 45-minute drive). However, because the Granada airport primarily handles domestic and selective regional flights, most international travelers opt to fly into Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP). Málaga Airport is located roughly 64 kilometers to the south, offering a highly convenient 1-hour drive along excellent highway routes.
