Cortijo
Aragon OrgivaCortijo Aragon is a
beautifully reconditioned farmhouse built over a hundred years ago. It is situated
in the remote and tranquil countryside between Orgiva and Lanjaron surrounded
by organic farmland. The views from the house are breathtaking, encompassing the
green and fruitful valley of Orgiva as well as the Sierra Nevadas, Europe's second
highest mountain range with snow-covered peaks reaching up to 3500 meters. In
front of the entrance to the house there is a covered terrace leading on to an
enormous swimming pool (14 x 8 meters), perfect for cooling down on hot summer
days. It also has a bamboo fence surrounding it with access through a small
gate. The owners of the property live below and occasionally use the pool
in July and August. The remainder of the time the pool is strictly for the disposal
of the guests. The house itself is detached and built in typically traditional
style with wooden beamed ceilings and wide stone walls which insulate well against
both the heat and the cold. It is comfortably furnished and has a welcoming feel.
There are 3 bedrooms, a large kitchen and comfortable lounge with
direct access to the terrace which is shaded and has wooden garden furniture
making it the perfect place to eat al fresco or simply relax out of the sun. The
lounge is equipped with satellite TV with international programs and has a cosy
seating area with a glass fronted fireplace. There are also covered parking spaces
right by the house. The approach road is a 2km track leading from the main road. Holiday
guests can purchase organic vegetables nearly all year round from the neighbouring
farmer Alberto at very favourable prices. The nearby town of Orgiva, 10 minutes
drive away, is useful for all shopping, banks, bars and restaurants and has a
lively market every Thursday. A trip to the coast or the beautiful city of Granada
takes approximately 45 minutes.
