This very charming spacious country house enjoys an idyllic private location in the area known as “Las Angosturas, El Chorro, Álora.
It enjoys excellent access by a very short, just 200m, well maintained track, from a quiet tarmac road and is just 4kms from of all of the amenities of the pueblo of Valle de Abdalajis.
The larger village or indeed small town of Álora is less than 30 minutes drive from the property. Álora is a busy market town with a population of around 13,500 and it has all local amenities such as schools, shops, health centre, sports centre, theatre etc. It is located 38km inland from Malaga city and international airport and has excellent communication links both by road and train. It is an excellent base for day trips to all of the major cities of Andalucia such as Seville, Cordoba, Malaga, Granada, Cadiz and Jerez.
The original house dates back to early in the 20th century but it has been lovingly and stylishly refurbished by the current owners, earlier this century, to provide a spacious, stylish country home.
Set within 26,500m2 of olive and citrus groves, the house extends to 270m2 and the accommodation is distributed over two levels.
One enters from the very charming country garden into the ground floor accommodation which comprises of a very welcoming main living room of approx 60m2 which hosts full length windows offering a very pleasing atmosphere of light and space.
Leading from the living room is a spacious dining room and adjoining large fully fitted kitchen.
Two double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study and a complete bathroom complete the accommodation on the ground floor/garden level.
An attractive staircase leads up to the 1st floor which hosts three further spacious rooms. Currently one is used as a second study and the others offer a very generous Master suite offering a spacious sleeping area, a very large dressing room and an adjoining bathroom.
There is a very attractive garden area around the house which hosts a lawn and an 8m x 4m swimming pool and a variety of plants and shrubs and fruit trees.
In addition to the main house there are also a variety of outbuildings located about 50 metres away from the house. These outbuildings have been exploited by the current owners, in the past, to provide kennels and cattery but could be exploited for a variety of uses.
Although this property enjoys a stunning rural location it enjoys mains services such as municipal drinking water, mains electricity and high speed internet service so one can enjoy the charm of the Andalucian countryside but with the comfort of excellent access just off a tarmac road and 21st century services and technology.
One cannot stress just how special is the location of this property; peace, tranquility and nature with stunning views and yet just a very short drive to amenities.
Nearby El Chorro has benefited from substantial investment from both central Spanish government and Europe to reinstate and develop the famous “Caminito del Rey” into, what has become a major tourist attraction.
The scenery is quite breathtaking with some stunning mountains and rock formations. It is a very popular area for tourists who wish to enjoy outdoor pursuits such as walking, bird watching, horse riding, hang gliding, landscape painting and particularly rock climbing.
Although this property currently offers a private haven it could, with a little redistribution of the accommodation, also be adapted to provide rural tourism accommodation.
It really is a rather special property and we are honoured to have been asked to market it!
