Description
In the municipality of Tarifa, in Cádiz province on the Costa del Sol, lies the historic Torre de Guadalmesí estate within a protected natural park. Set in an exceptional natural environment between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, the property enjoys panoramic views of the sea, mountains and surrounding unspoilt landscape. The sea is close by.
The plot measures 117,000 m², while the usable area is 65 m². The property offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a garden and sea views.
The historic Torre de Guadalmesí formed part of the former Andalusian coastal defence system. It was visually connected with Torre del Fraile and used to transmit strategic signals towards Gibraltar and Algeciras to the east and Tarifa to the west. The tower itself may also be restored, subject to the relevant permissions.
The existing buildings can be renovated, but their footprint and size cannot be increased. As the estate is located within a protected natural park, no additional construction or extensions beyond the current built area are permitted. Planning allows for the creation of three small independent units: two studio apartments and one larger main residence. Renovation plans are currently being prepared, after which an application for the relevant licence will be submitted to the Town Hall.
The land was historically used for agriculture, including the cultivation of wheat and chickpeas. A licence for animal keeping may also be applied for, with the approval process expected to take approximately six months. This is a property for those seeking privacy, a close connection with nature and the sensitive restoration of a historic estate in an exceptional coastal setting.
