Villa in Freila

Exclusive Ranch with Equestrian Facilities and Panoramic Views over Lake Negratín in Freila

Set in a truly unique location within the Granada Geopark, just a short distance from the authentic village of Freila, this exceptional ranch enjoys breathtaking views over Lake Negratín. Here, peace, nature, and space come together in a property perfectly designed for comfortable living and horse keeping. The ranch is fully legal and also offers excellent opportunities for tourist rentals or continuing the existing business.

The characterful Andalusian home is spread over three floors and combines authentic features with modern living comfort. It offers three bedrooms, two of which are located within a cave, two modern bathrooms (one of them en-suite), spacious living and dining rooms, and a fully equipped country-style kitchen with granite worktops. The property also includes a traditional bread oven, two conservatories overlooking the surrounding landscape, a wine cellar, a pantry, an office with two workstations, and a fitness room.

The property also includes a fully self-contained studio apartment with its own private entrance and a tourist rental licence. This space is ideal for family and friends but also offers an excellent opportunity for holiday rentals.

For horse lovers, this ranch is fully equipped. There is a licence for keeping five horses, with the possibility of expanding this number. The equestrian facilities include two cave stables, which naturally remain cool during the summer and pleasantly warm throughout winter. In addition, there are spacious paddocks, grazing fields, a natural riding arena, and direct access to the horse-riding trails of the Granada Geopark. From the property, you can ride straight into the surrounding countryside towards Lake Negratín.

The current owners operate an officially registered horse trekking business from the property, organise guided trail rides around Lake Negratín, and rent out the studio apartment to tourists. Thanks to the existing licences and established business operations, the new owners have the opportunity to continue these activities.

Several terraces have been created around the home, allowing you to enjoy either the sunshine or the shade throughout the day. Outdoor living is completed by a private swimming pool, a fully equipped outdoor bar, a luxury outdoor kitchen with barbecue, a spacious roof terrace, multiple seating and dining areas, a wellness and fitness building, and several charming patios.

The ranch is also exceptionally well equipped in terms of sustainability. The property benefits from mains water, a modern solar energy system, and a powerful backup generator. There is also a vegetable garden, a greenhouse, a variety of fruit trees, and a fully equipped chicken enclosure, allowing comfortable living while maintaining a high level of self-sufficiency.

The ranch is located in one of Andalusia’s most beautiful natural areas. Within a short distance you will find Lake Negratín, natural hot springs, hiking and cycling routes, as well as excellent opportunities for kayaking and swimming. The village of Freila offers restaurants, cafés, terraces, and a weekly market. The airports of Granada, Almería, and Málaga are all easily accessible, while both the Sierra Nevada and the Mediterranean coast are within comfortable driving distance.

This ranch offers not only a fully equipped equestrian property but also a versatile home where living and running a business can be perfectly combined. Even without horses, the possibilities are endless. The two additional caves could easily be transformed into guest accommodation, an artist’s studio, a home office, a practice room, a hobby space, or a comfortable remote-working environment. Thanks to its generous layout and flexible design, this is a property that can easily be adapted to a wide range of lifestyles and personal wishes.
