From Historic Olive Mill to Stunning Family Home: A Luxurious Transformation

Nestled in the heart of the stunning Lecrín Valley, in the village of Melegís is a one-of-a-kind property that seamlessly blends history, Moorish elegance, and modern luxury. Once the thriving centre of Melegís’ olive oil industry for over 200 years, this meticulously restored olive mill now offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a truly unique home.

A Home with a Story

Originally a working olive mill, Molino Bajo has been thoughtfully and lovingly restored by its current owners. The renovation, completed in 1998, has preserved its historic charm while incorporating the finest modern comforts. The home retains many of its original architectural elements, including antique olive oil urns, a wrought iron olive press, and a grand beamed double-height living room. Moorish and Moroccan influences feature throughout, with atmospheric lighting, handcrafted details, and stunning decorative touches that create an ambiance of timeless elegance.

Thoughtful Layout and Design

Stepping through the exquisite handcrafted Moroccan door, guests are welcomed into a serene paved courtyard, a perfect introduction to this tranquil residence. The outdoor space is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring a luxurious swimming pool, shaded seating areas, and a charming alfresco dining area.

Ground Floor:

At the heart of the house is a vast double-height living space that exudes character and warmth. The dining area, which comfortably seats 12, is centred around an impressive table repurposed from the original granite millstone. Adjacent to this space, the grand living room boasts a log fireplace and three distinct seating zones, making it ideal for cozy evenings or entertaining guests. The fully equipped kitchen, with both electric and gas hobs, seamlessly connects to the courtyard through French doors, enhancing the indoor-outdoor flow. Two double bedrooms and a bathroom complete the ground floor, with one of the bedrooms offering direct access to the pool terrace.

First Floor:

The upper level offers three more beautifully appointed double bedrooms, each with terrace access. The master suite, reached via a private staircase, features an ensuite bathroom, a walk-in dressing room, and French doors leading to a private terrace with an enchanting Moroccan gazebo. This secluded spot is perfect for afternoon siestas or evening stargazing with a drink in hand. The remaining two bedrooms, accessed via the main staircase, share a third bathroom and have their own terrace connections, allowing easy access to the pool area below.

A Prime Location in the Heart of Lecrín Valley

Melegís is a picturesque village set amidst citrus, almond, and olive groves, with breathtaking views of the Sierra Nevada mountains and the shimmering Béznar reservoir. The village boasts a vibrant community spirit, with three annual fiestas celebrating its patron saints and the orange harvest. It is also home to the renowned Los Naranjos Hotel/Restaurant, and the recently opened fine dining restaurant Elysium.

Despite its tranquil setting, Melegís has easy access to the cultural and historical treasures of Granada which are just a 30-minute drive away, while the sun-soaked beaches of Playa Granada and Salobreña can be reached in just 25 minutes. In winter, skiing in the Sierra Nevada is under an hour away. The nearest airports are Granada (35 minutes) and Málaga (1 hour 15 minutes), making international travel convenient.

A Rare Opportunity

Whether you’re seeking a luxurious private residence or considering hosting guests with its active tourism license, this stunning historic home offers a rare opportunity in the heart of Andalusia.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or if you would like to plan your visit—we would be delighted to assist you and show you this exceptional home in person.
