In the Alpujarras between Granada and Malaga, “Casa 5 mulos” is located at the top of the small mountain village of Alfornón. Surrounded by fields of olives, almonds, figs and vines, it is tucked away at the end of a five kilometer road coming down the top of the Contraviesa. Around forty people live here all year round. It hosts a small grocery store, a baker that visits six days a week and a fish monger twice.
Perfect for lovers of mountains and authenticity, this gem of a house has plenty to offer. Big enough for several friends to buy together, or as a business opportunity to rent out. The current owner has created several independent apartments that can be rented out as a holiday let or for hosting family and friends.
The seperate apartment is perfect as a holiday let or to have family or friends over.
The house was almost a ruin and has been gradually renovated in the past 7 years (since 2017). This building used to be a working house and you can see elements of it’s history as it has been redone with a lot of love and care. The stables of the pigs, donkeys and chickens are all still recogniseable but their function has changed into living quarters for humans. The old donkey stable where you can still find the antique feeding troughs is now a stand alone apartment for rental with two bedrooms. A large space that used to be the bodega (where the wine was made) has been stripped and prepared to create another rental apartment, and the courtyard that once was open to the elements has now been partially covered and turned into a light and welcoming space.

Old wooden beams, antique lamps, locally harvested cane, everything is original in this house.
This is really a one of a kind house for someone extraordinary, perfect for anyone wanting to live off the grid for example (with the plot of land that has watering rights you can cultivate your own food), an artist, or a family with love for authenticity and willing to run a holiday rental.
The area is very popular for hiking, wine tasting and reconnecting with nature.
Alfornon is located at only 30 minutes away from the sea via a mountain track, the buzzing city of Granada is 1 hour away, Malaga 2 hours away, the small town of Orgiva and the spa town of Lanjaron 45 minutes away and Polopos is 20 minutes by car.
