Villa Detached

This traditional Spanish country house has been very tastefully refurbished by the current owners during the last decade using high quality materials to transform it into a very attractive and comfortable county villa. The house enjoys a stunning semi-rural location within it's own olive grove extending to 3,355m2 which equates to just under an acre. The accommodation offered comprises of a large lounge with French windows leading out to the expansive front terrace, a separate dining room or second sitting room, a lovely, bright, double aspect , quality fitted kitchen , 3 double bedrooms and a full bathroom equipped with both a feature "roll top" bathtub and a separate shower cubicle. The property has been immaculately maintained by the current owners and although it has all modern comforts it still retains Andalucian charm. There are beamed ceilings in some of the rooms and a very efficient wood burning stove in the lounge which heats the entire house should one require it on a cool Winter evening! The kitchen is very attractive . It is equipped with quality kitchen units and black granite work tops and hosts a very attractive "Belfast" style sink. It is large enough to accommodate a breakfast table and it's double aspect with glazed doors leading directly out onto the front terrace result in a very bright pleasant multifunctional room. The total build size of the house is 140m2 not including the terraces. The majority of the land is planted out with productive olive trees however, the current owners have also created a very pleasant garden area immediately around the house . The many plants, including a host of geraniums, provide a very colourful display. A large terrace runs along the front of the house and is an ideal location to enjoy "al fresco" dining or simply relax and enjoy the views of the Andalucian countryside! A few metres away from the terrace is the very attractive, quality built swimming pool area and sunbathing terrace. The swimming pool measures 8mx4m and is fully tiled and equipped with skimmers and filter and lights for enjoying swimming during the hot Summer nights which this part of the World enjoys! The property is located in the Angosturas area of El Chorro . It is about 5km from the village of El Chorro. El Chorro is currently benefiting from substantial inverstment from both central Spanish government and Europe to reinstate and develop the famous "Caminito del Rey" into , what is hoped will be, a major tourist attraction. The scenery is quite breathtaking with some stunning mountains and rock formations. It is a very popular area for tourists who wish to enjoy outdoor pursuits such as walking, bird watching, horse riding, hang gliding, landscape painting and particularly rock climbing . The larger village or indeed small town of Álora is about 15 minutes drive from the property. Álora is a busy market town with a population of around 13,500 and it has all local amenities such as schools, shops, health centre, sports centre, theatre etc. It is located 38km inland from Malaga city and international airport and has excellent communication links both by road and train. It is an excellent base for day trips to all of the major cities of Andalucia such as Seville, Cordoba, Malaga, Granada, Cadiz & Jerez. In addition to the main house the property also hosts two outbuildings which are currently used for storage but could possibly be exploited for other uses. Mains electricity and water are connected to the property and the property also has the rights to the use of a community well . The current owners also enjoy internet connection and satellite T.V. Although this property enjoys a peaceful rural location it is not isolated as there are other properties in the vicinity and it benefits from excellent access directly off a quiet country tarmac road. This property offers a lovely country home either for permanent living or as a holiday home or indeed , because of it's very special location ,it could be very successfully exploited as a holiday letting villa.
