Description
Charming Detached Village House with Endless Potential in the Heart of La Alpujarra – Jorairatar, Ugíjar
Nestled in the tranquil heart of La Alpujarra, this detached family home sits proudly in the centre of Jorairatar, a peaceful hamlet of Ugíjar. With no direct neighbours on either side and a standalone 286m² plot, this property offers rare privacy and space within a traditional Andalusian village setting.
Boasting an impressive 405m² of built area spread over two floors, the house provides generous proportions and flexible living arrangements — ideal for a large family, multi-generational living, or as a home with income potential (subject to relevant licensing).
While part of the property is currently habitable — with a functional kitchen and bathrooms — the home would greatly benefit from a full renovation and redecoration, offering the perfect canvas to create your bespoke dream home in the Spanish countryside.
Layout & Features
Stepping through the main entrance, you’re welcomed into a spacious entrance hall, complete with useful under-stairs storage. This level features two bedrooms (one ready for use, the other awaiting completion) and a bathroom with shower.
A staircase leads to the first-floor landing, which could easily serve as a dining area or additional sitting space. From here, you’ll find a family bathroom with a window and a charming kitchen featuring a traditional open fireplace and ample storage. The kitchen opens onto a private backyard, home to a chicken pen, shaded relaxation area, and a magnificent mature fig tree — the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the village’s serene atmosphere.
The bright living room benefits from large French doors, flooding the space with natural light and offering beautiful countryside views. Adjoining this is a spacious double bedroom and a second living area, which could easily accommodate a second kitchen — ideal if you wish to divide the property into two self-contained dwellings. From here, additional rooms offer flexibility for bedrooms, an office, studio, or extra storage, with access to a half-covered large terrace — a wonderful space for outdoor dining or simply soaking in the Alpujarra sunshine.
From the second living area, stairs lead down to a secondary entrance and a potential garage, opening directly onto the side street for convenient access.
Potential & Lifestyle
This property offers a rare opportunity to restore and personalise a traditional Andalusian home to your taste — retaining its authentic character while introducing modern comfort and style.
With its ample size, multiple access points, and adaptable layout, it could become a family retreat, a two-unit residence, or a boutique rural rental property in one of Spain’s most picturesque regions.
Experience the authentic charm of La Alpujarra, surrounded by mountains, olive groves, and the timeless pace of village life — all within easy reach of Ugíjar and the wider attractions of Granada and Almería provinces
