Location: Tarifa, Tarifa, Costa de la Luz, Spain
Nestled between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, in a truly unique setting on the coast of Tarifa, lies this extraordinary estate in Torre de Guadalmesí – a property steeped in history, privacy and natural beauty.
With a plot of 117,000 m² and approximately 300 m² of built area, including terraces, this estate offers an exceptional opportunity to create an exclusive retreat in the heart of nature, surrounded by panoramic views of the sea, mountains and the unspoilt landscape characteristic of the area.
The historic Torre de Guadalmesí forms part of the ancient Andalusian coastal defence system and was visually connected to the Torre del Fraile, transmitting strategic signals towards Gibraltar and Algeciras to the east, and towards Tarifa to the west. A place with a unique identity where history, nature and the sea merge in spectacular fashion.
Currently, the property allows for renovation of the existing building, with the potential to create three independent units: two studios and a main residence of approximately 100 m², offering a range of options for private use, a tourism project or an exclusive retreat.
The estate enjoys a privileged location, in a setting of absolute tranquillity and privacy, just a few minutes from the unspoilt beaches of Tarifa and surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in southern Europe.
A truly unique property for those seeking authenticity, history and a connection with nature in one of the most
The finca is situated within a **protected natural park**, making it an exceptionally unique property surrounded by untouched nature between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Due to its protected status, **no additional buildings or extensions beyond the existing footprint are permitted**. Any future project must be carried out within the current built area. This aligns with the property's location in a protected natural environment.
The owner has confirmed that:
* A **licence for animal keeping** can be applied for, with the approval process expected to take approximately **six months**.
* The existing buildings **can be renovated**, but **their size cannot be increased**.
* Planning allows for the creation of **three small independent units**, comprising **two studio apartments and one larger main residence**.
* The historic **Torre de Guadalmesí** itself may also be restored, subject to the relevant permissions.
* Historically, the land was used for agricultural purposes, including the cultivation of **wheat and chickpeas**.
The architect is currently preparing the renovation plans, and once completed, the application for the renovation licence will be submitted to the Town Hall.
This is not a conventional development opportunity but rather a chance to restore a truly historic estate in one of Andalucía's most spectacular coastal settings. The combination of protected natural surroundings, panoramic sea views, historical significance, and carefully controlled renovation potential makes this an exceptional property for a buyer seeking privacy, authenticity, and a unique lifestyle.
