♦  197M2 total build.

♦  5,616M2 land.

♦  7M x 3.5M above ground swimming pool with filtration system and power points.  The pool could be decked around with wooden steps down to a decked sunbathing terrace (if desired) because the pool is located on a platform of flat land ideal for this.  It would be easy to create the ‘infinity’ effect.

♦  Impressive 1st floor master bedroom with double glazed patio doors out onto a huge roof terrace.  The first floor also has a bathroom serving this bedroom which creates a very private master bedroom suite.

♦  Despite the master bedroom with bathroom on the first floor, the rest of the accommodation is on the ground floor giving flexibility.

♦  80,000ltr water deposit fed from a community well with water pumped into the huge 80,000ltr deposit.  A full tank lasts 6 months for use by the house and pool.  An annual fee of €100 (paid in two instalments) is for the maintenance of the infrastructure.  Cost per 6 months for water is just €40 (€6.60 per month).  The well is registered and the house has water rights.  The well has never run dry.

♦  6M X 4M garage/workshop (if benches were to be removed a car could fit in the garage).

♦  Utility room  located between the house & garage with water heater and washing machine.

♦  Access to the house is via a good quality 1km track for use by normal saloon cars.  The track is relatively steep in places and perfectly safe but those who do not like heights may not enjoy the approach to and from this property.

♦  There are olive, almond and chirimoya (custard apple) trees on the land.

♦  This property is currently a full-time home with all the comforts installed that come with a permanent residence.  However, this home is equally ideal for holiday letting!

Perfect holiday retreat

Tourism licence (Casa Rural) would be ideal for this property because it has 3 bedrooms (each with a private bathroom), a wood burning stove in the living room plus underfloor heating throughout.  This means a family or group of friends can holiday together in comfort and with peace and privacy.

Of course, the pool helps and this could be easily transformed with decking.  Many tourists today are walkers, mountain bikers, bird watchers and those who simply want a retreat for their holiday.  This rural home could bring in good money for the buyers if they choose to holiday let the property when not using it themselves.
