A restored cortijo on 3,000m2 of land in a pretty, secluded river valley
If you are looking for total peace and quiet, some land to work on, and nature all around, but only a short drive from the beach, this is your house!
Located around 5Kms from the coast, along a very good, all-year-round passable track of 3.5Kms, this country house has been restored by the owners in natural materials to make a comfortable 3 bedroom country hide-away!
The house is located in a cluster of old houses known as a 'cortijada'. Set to the rear of the cortijada, with its own entrance gate and looking out over the valley and away from the other buildings, the house has its own very private land, terraced all the way down to the pretty river below. In the Spring, the valley is filled with the sound of nightingales ('ruiseñores') competing with each other in song, which, mingled with the bubble of the little river, makes this a wonderfully theraputic country retreat!
The house has a colourfully tiled, fitted kitchen with dining room, and a large bathroom with huge bath and overhead shower, on the ground floor. Wooden steps lead to the first bedroom located a few steps up, and then a few more steps up to a large landing area. From the landing, access to the second bedroom, and from the other end of the landing three further steps lead up to the very spacious third bedroom. The whole of the upstairs has wooden floors and internal walls, but all the building has the original bricks and mortar outside walls.
Outside, right in front of the front terrace is a separate building which acts as a large Summer house or extra living and dining area, with big windows to let in maximum light and to be able to fully appreciate the beauty of this lovely valley.
There is a large terrace all around this side of the house with lovely views of the valley slopes and the neighbouring vineyards. The land has steps all the way down, with each terrace beautifully walled where a huge variety of plants, fruit trees, vegetable crops etc could be grown, ideal for a self sufficiency project. The lower terraces are wider and most beautiful, with many existing fruit trees of every description, flowering bushes and lush vegetation, leading down to the bubbling brook (including small waterfall) which winds itself through this peaceful little valley.
The house has its own well and spring water which is pumped into a large deposit for use not only for the house but also to irrigate the land (irrigation tubes already in place). Electricity is also connected.
The valley is dotted with well tended vineyards and little ruined houses and some restored on either side of its slopes.
The ruined house next door is also for sale, (75,000 Euros, see AX335) but in no way invades on the privacy of the property. The property is also joined to another ruined house, to the rear of the building, which the current owner is negotiating to purchase, and this, if it is successful, would be included in the price.
