Casa Del Duende – Exceptional 6 Bed 6 Bath Finca with Pool and Annexes in Rural Murcia

Casa Del Duende

Keystyle Properties welcomes you to Casa del Duende, a magnificent and character-filled country estate located just outside the charming town of Fuente Álamo, in the peaceful hamlet of Los Cánovas. This stunning finca combines traditional Spanish rustic charm with modern comfort and space, offering the best of both worlds — countryside serenity with convenient access to nearby towns, beaches, and airports.

Set on a generous plot of just under 6,000m² and boasting a built area of approximately 588m², Casa del Duende is a unique residence that radiates warmth, sophistication, and history. Once the original manor house of the village — producing wine and olive oil over a century ago — this beautiful home has been lovingly restored and maintained, preserving its authentic character while integrating modern features for a luxurious rural lifestyle.

Property Features & Layout

This impressive finca offers six bedrooms and six bathrooms, distributed between the main house and three independent annexes, each complete with an en-suite bathroom, kitchenette, and private living space — ideal for guests or extended family.

The main entrance welcomes you through a beautifully landscaped front area adorned with lush plants, flowers, statues, and palm trees, setting the tone for the rustic elegance that continues inside.

The main living area is expansive and filled with natural light, featuring a snooker table, a large dining area, and inviting leather couches — perfect for entertaining. From here, you transition into a cosy winter living room, complete with a charming stone feature wall and a standing wood-burning fireplace that exudes warmth and comfort.

Archways lead into the traditional rustic kitchen, enhanced by a sturdy concrete-tiled design and complemented by a laundry/pantry room. From the kitchen, you can access the converted summer terrace and pool courtyard, which offers a blend of traditional Spanish charm and modern style.

The pool courtyard is an entertainer’s dream — boasting a 10x4m private swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen and dining area, and a garden bathroom. The large courtyard and surrounding gardens create multiple outdoor living zones ideal for gatherings, sunbathing, and enjoying the countryside views.

The main house features three spacious bedrooms — including a master suite with direct garden access and en-suite bathroom, a second bedroom with an en-suite, and a third with a shared bathroom. All main bedrooms come with air conditioning, ensuring comfort year-round.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a large parking area, panoramic mountain and countryside views, and wildlife, particularly native birds that enhance the tranquil atmosphere. Antique Spanish and French furniture throughout the property adds to the finca’s unique, timeless elegance.
