SA1268A - Villa for sale in Alora, Málaga, Spain

Description

COUNTRY VILLA IN ALORA (MALAGA).
Stunning finca that has been sympathetically planned and decorated to a very good standard, with attention to detail, by the present owner.
This lovely home consists of an Entrance Hall, a large Lounge / Diner measuring (approx 8m x 5m) with wood-burning stove, 3 Double Bedrooms (2 with vanity units and 1 en-suite on the first floor), Bathroom, and a large modern fitted Kitchen complete with Breakfast Bar.
The Lounge opens out onto a very large terrace with canopy over (to provide shade), and faces a very attractive, easily maintained, walled garden. This garden, which has a large attractive paved area, is well stocked with plants, shrubs and palms, etc. There is also an Arbour and a separate shady seating area and an area suitable for a BBQ.
To the rear of the house is a smaller paved terrace and garden (with young palm tree). Between the two gardens, and next to the house, is a mosaic-tiled Swimming Pool measuring 7m x 5m, together with a ‘Pump House’ containing filtering equipment. On 2 sides of the pool are sunbathing areas, from where there is access to a poolside toilet room and shower.
Leading from the rear garden there is a generously sized Storeroom, double undercover Store (currently used for firewood), and an area currently used as a plant nursery.
When the gardens were planned, the emphasis was on easy maintenance; so all the garden areas are fitted with a watering system. The terraces, gardens and swimming pool are attractively walled off from the finca and are completely secluded (for privacy or an all-over sun tan!).
The Spanish correctly refer to this Finca as ‘Paradise’ and ‘Very Tranquil’.
approx 2¼ acres of land, consisting of the house and driveway, and nearly 500 trees, most of which produce ‘Naval’ oranges. Currently, a local Spanish person maintains the trees, in return for the crop, and the new owner can retain this system, if required. Other trees in the finca include Lemons, Plums, Apricots, Nectarines, Apples, Pears, Kakis, Nisperos, Avocado, Grapefruit and Grapes, and these are primarily intended for domestic use, rather than for sale.
There is a large Car Parking area in front of the house for 5 or more cars, plus Garden areas, including a welcoming palm tree and a large Garage. A water well next to the house provides ample supplies of water for domestic use, the swimming pool and irrigation for the gardens and fruit trees. The house has electricity, telephone, Sky Television and is connected to the Internet via a local wireless network.

REMARKS
For a buyer looking for an income by offering accommodation in quiet surroundings, the layout of the house is ideal. There are options for creating additional rooms of up to 3 single bedrooms, a bathroom and an en-suite double bedroom to the rear of the house, using existing buildings.
Alternatively the outbuildings can easily be converted without excessive cost into a 1 double bedroom en-suite apartment for holiday or permanent lettings.


LOCATION
The historic town of Alora enjoys a privileged location in the Guadalhorce Valley, which it overlooks from the north, standing atop a small hill. Situated 35 minutes from Malaga airport by car, it can also reach Malaga centre in 15 minutes by train. Its urban layout, of Arabic origin, gives it a special charm, which must be enjoyed without haste, due to the steep nature of its streets, which lead up to the symbol of the village: the castle. The amenities of the town are excellent and include, health centers, schools, sports facilities, good shopping and a large selection of bars and restaurants. The town has a rich historical heritage which is shown in its many festivals.
