Beautifully located finca near thermal baths in Granada Alhama ● 4 bedrooms ● 198 m2 ● €325,000
Beautifully located finca with original access in the country, at about ten kilometres from Alhama de Granada. A track takes you through the woods to your own private valley, where you'll discover this well-kept property, which you wouldn't want to change much about. Power is supplied by solar panels and the refreshing water comes from your own well. Back to the basics, we say jokingly, but if that is what you are really looking for, then this is where you'll find it.
There are no direct neighbours, so you are guaranteed to have all the space and peacefulness to yourself. The house is located right in the middle of a natural park, which holds the promise of a wealth of new discoveries. There are lots of fruit trees on the land surrounding the house and the views reach to mountain so high, that its peak will be covered in snow in winter.
The property has commercial potential, for example to let as a holiday home. Living here is just a great everlasting experience that you really ought to have lived through.
Alhama de Granada is a pretty, ancient spa town located approximately 50 kilometres from Granada. It is perched precariously at the top of a ravine from where the Rio Alham carves through otherwise rolling countryside. The therapeutic, thermal springs at the Alhama´s Balneario have been channelled into baths since Roman times. There are 6,000 inhabitants in the town, and its picturesque location and thermal springs attract many visitors.
A large stately home in colonial style with views over the Málaga bay and the Mediterranean Torremolinos ● 4 bedrooms ● 500 m2 ● €1,445,000
This is a large stately home in colonial style with views over the Málaga bay and the Mediterranean, as well as the Montes de Malaga and the Sierra Nevada. We can assure you that you won't find many houses like this on the Costa del Sol.
It was built in the early 1960's, and recently renovated in 2003 with tremendous effort to restore the house to its former glory while adding today's conveniences. A lot of care was taken to keep the feel of the house intact and yet to bring it fully up to date. The property has a total built area of approximately 500 square metres and sits in a plot of 2,200 square metres.
The house comprises an entrance hall of 25 square metres, a living room of 52 square metres featuring an open fire place, a fully equipped kitchen with pantry and food lift, a laundry room, a study, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 guest toilets, and a dressing room. Downstairs are the original staff quarters, now in use as the children's area, which could easily be converted into a separate guest apartment.
There is underfloor heating and airconditioning, while a heater with solar panels provides hot water. The property has its own private indoor parking space, and security is provided by means of a video camera at the entrance gate to the property.
Outside, in the garden, lies the private swimming pool. It is of the salt-water type, requiring less maintenance than regular sweet-water swimming pools. To reduce maintenance requirements even further, the pool is equipped with an automatic cover. Next to the pool is the pool house with covered terrace area, providing the necessary shade for pool-side relaxation or dining on hot summer days.
There are several other terraces around the house, and even a patio with a fountain. An automatic watering system keeps the garden in optimal condition, even during the summer drought. To guarantee a continuous trouble-free water supply, the property disposes of two water deposits, holding a total of 46,000 litres.
The location offers the best of two worlds: tranquil living in a stately country home, with the Mediterranean Sea and the hustle and bustle of the coast literally just minutes away. From there, the motorway offers great access to other places, such as Malaga and the international airport, Gibraltar, Sevilla, Granada, and Cordoba.
Restored finca in the middle of an untouched nature reserve in Granada Huescar ● 3 bedrooms ● 160 m2 ● €296,500
On the edge of a little hamlet, at an extraordinary location, stands this finca with an interesting history. The house was once used as a church, and before that it used to be a school. Recentrly, the finca was restored to its original splendour. With eye for traditional detail, of course, but without losing sight of today's requirements. Therefor, the kitchen is well-equipped, the bathrooms are spacious and efficient, and a second living room was added to the property.
From the parking space to house is a little path that passes a watering place for sheep or goats. The cool water runs straight from the mountains and tastes wonderful. The property has a solar panel, supplying enough energy to power the lighting of the house and a tv. Energy is free here, and so is the water! The land is fenced in and has been levelled. THat would make creating a little campsite or renting out a caravan or log-house a possibility to consider. Also, the finca disposes of a separate guest accommodation for two, so you could start earning a rental income right away, if desired.
The house sits in the middle of the literally untouched nature reserve of the Sierra de la Sagra, where the mediterranean climate, the altitud and the geographic location have worked together to create an exceptional and breathtakingly beautiful landscape. The drive through this stunning reserve takes you by turns through broad-leaved and pine forest, desert drought, along fertile fields and a reservoir with sand beach. One moment you'll think you're in the province of Cádiz with its soft sloping vistas into infinity, the next that you're in the province of Málaga with its pine covered mountain ridges. That is Granada for you.
There is an interesting world waiting for you here, with a natural scenery yet to be discovered by many. Ideal as a second home or as a rental holiday home for others to enjoy. You won't find the hustle and bustle of the coast here, but seekers of peace and quiet will discover it is at their beck and call.
