3626 Low-Energy Chalet Prepared for Solar Cells

Magnificent, recently constructed chalet in excellent condition, with low energy consumption and panoramic views to the Sierra Nevada mountains, set amongst olive groves.

Construction is of the highest quality with planned insulation resulting in reduced utility bills and superior comfort during summer and winter. It is a future-proof, low-energy house with pre-installation for heating by solar cells. The energy certification is currently B and if just 2 solar panels were added it would be upgraded to A. The windows are high-quality aluminum with thermal bridge breaking and double glazing. The house also enjoys underfloor heating and cooling via a heat-pump. In addition, there is air conditioning in every room, upgraded to Toshiba A++ between 2020 and 2022.

The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge fully-equipped kitchen and a large, double height living room with great acoustics. The house is extremely well maintained with all surfaces in excellent condition. The heart of the property is the impressive living room with a 7m high ceiling. It is a very bright room with fantastic views to Sierra Nevada. If you are a music lover or if you want to watch a good movie you will feel like you are in a small concert hall or in the cinema. A door to the right leads to two bedrooms, two bathrooms with shower, hallway and entrance. The preferred entrance to the house is through a covered terrace leading to a large utility room and the kitchen. A door to the left leads to a third bedroom furnished by the owners as an office.

Outside, the house enjoys the previously mentioned covered terrace with seating area. The building is surrounded by walls. To the west is a large tiled terrace. To the south and east there are rose bushes, lavender and oleander bushes. There are two garages for the car(s) and general storage. The bigger one of 40 m2 has electricity and water and could easily be adapted as an annex. The other garage of 15 m2 is of wood on a concrete block. A new alberca of 3m x 6m is currently under construction.

Views of the Sierra Nevada from the property are spectacular, there is private access from the road and trails where you can walk through the countryside.

The plantation of 3.2 hectares of olive trees produces an income of approximately €5.000 to €7.000 annually. It is not difficult to enter into a local lease, but an alternative is to just let a mechanical vibrator harvest the olives.

The property is located in a meandering landscape with a wonderful view over the olive groves and the Sierra Nevada mountains - in winter covered with snow. The cozy village of Alomartes with various shops, school and health center is only 3 km away (5 minutes by car). The location is central with only 10 minutes to Autovia A 92, 30 minutes to Granada airport, 42 minutes to Granada, and 1 hour and 12 minutes to Malaga airport.

This incredible country house could be a home for a family who wants to enjoy the rural tranquility without losing the qualities and comfort one associates with a modern home, such as electricity, water (own well), air conditioning and fast internet with option to work from home.
