3685 Traditional Cortijo Attractive Setting

Large traditional cortijo, beautifully renovated on the ground floor, the first floor needs internal finishing.

Set in 4.500 m2 of fenced and irrigated land and with gardens to the front, planted with an assortment of fruit trees, shrubs and flowers, this very attractive property sits in a delightful group of four houses, only one other of which is permanenly lived in.

The accommodation currently consists of lounge with wood burner, dining area, hand-built kitchen also with a feature wood burner, two double bedrooms, spacious bathroom with roll-top bath, arranged in Jack and Jill style with the bedrooms, and a utility room with storage.

The first floor is completely open and has room for at least four more bedrooms and two bathrooms or could be used in any other way desired. It may be possible to separate the upper level entirely, should the new owner wish to rent that part. Only internal finishing is required as the roof is new. All of the built m2, including the unused first floor, are included in the title deeds. All that is needed to finish the job are a set of tools, some basic materials and a willingness to get your hands dirty!

There are wooden beams throughout the house on both floors. The owners have done a great job in modernising the ground floor without losing the cortijo's essential character and charm.

Outside there is a store room and an above-ground pool.

Electricity is provided by a solar power system which feeds standard 230V current to the house. Water for the house and to irrigate the land is stored in a 120.000 litre tank. This tank is filled from an acequia which runs all year round. Hot water is provided by a new gas boiler.

Views from the property are of open countryside and mountains and the area is known for horse riding, trekking, walking, etc.
