Finca Rio Pinos

Finca Río Pinos is an extraordinary private estate that combines the authentic charm of a traditional Andalusian farmhouse with the grandeur of a secluded country manor. Nestled in unspoiled countryside, yet only minutes from the coast, the finca offers complete privacy, timeless views, and breathtaking natural surroundings. With a remarkable history spanning more than 2,150 years, this estate has been continuously used as farmland since Roman times. A Roman ruin still stands proudly on the property, a testament to its enduring agricultural heritage. Across the estate lie registered ruined houses and abandoned hamlets—legally recorded with the public notary and land registry in 2002—which may be recuperated and restored, providing both historical depth and exciting development opportunities. The main farmhouse has been tastefully refurbished to preserve its character. It features four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large country kitchen with breakfast area, and a generous double drawing room. Sun terraces, a swimming pool with panoramic views, a dressing room, and four garages complete the main home. Additional assets include a thriving vegetable garden, several outbuildings, and a charming guest cottage with kitchen, lounge, bedroom, and shower room. Water is abundant thanks to three reservoirs, a private well, and year-round access to the Rio Velerín, with its waterfalls and natural pools. The estate also includes over 5km of internal roads, digital TV, mains electricity, air conditioning, and its own forest rich in wildlife. Recent planning regulations introduced under the Andalusian LISTA law highlight the rarity of an estate of this scale. New houses in the countryside require a minimum of 2.5 hectares (or 5 hectares in forested areas). Building footprints are limited to 1% of rustic land and 0.5% in forested zones—meaning that here, a home or expansion of up to 2,250 m² is legally possible. This makes Finca Río Pinos not only a place of beauty and heritage, but also a property with exceptional future potential.
