Villa for sale

For sale direct from the owners!

This attractive villa is ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxed lifestyle in a peaceful countryside setting but also enjoy visits from friends, family or even paying guests

The location is stunning, a peaceful valley with a few neighbours, virtually no passing traffic and just birdsong to listen to. And a great view of Maroma too!

The main house comes with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom and adjacent to the main house are two separate guest bedrooms, each with their own en-suite shower room. These two rooms are perfect for visiting friends or family and give a degree of privacy for guests and the owners alike. The option is also available to generate income from paying guests subject to the usual tourism license.

The house sits on land of just over a hectare (10,500M2) however, the flat area around the house is easily maintained and has various seating areas to relax and entertain. These seating areas come with shade allowing them to be used throughout the year.

In addition, there is a lovely pool area with an 8m x 4m swimming pool, plenty of space for sunbathing and relaxing and a terrific sunken bar area.

There is a separate area of flat land which can be accessed via a second driveway or from the house garden. This area is ideal for additional parking – there is so much room, you can easily park a large motor home or caravan. Again, subject to the consent of the local town hall, it may be possible to add a guest house, a workshop or wooden structure to this area – a concrete base is already in place. This area has its own electrical supply.

The property is beautifully presented throughout with many modern comforts and recent improvements and additions.

The layout of the villa is as follows:

The front terrace provides a warm welcome with a front porch and a covered seating area from which to enjoy the peace and views.

The front door leads into a large living room. The living room is very spacious, light and bright with triple aspect windows. This room has a wood burning stove and a new Air/Con unit providing heating and cooling. Two ceiling fans are also installed for the warmer days.

An archway leads through to the inner hallway which in turn leads to the kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom.

The kitchen – is separate from the living room but has an open breakfast bar connecting the two spaces. The kitchen is well fitted with plenty of storage units, granite work surfaces, a newly installed oven and all the usual appliances. There is also a door from the kitchen to the rear gardens.

Bedroom 1 – is a good size double bedroom with built in wardrobes, a front view aspect and a ceiling fan.

Bedroom 2 – is another good size double bedroom with built in wardrobes, a front aspect and a ceiling fan.

The bathroom is a modern one with a walk-in shower and a pleasant white suite.

A storage cupboard in the hallway is actually where the doorway to bedroom 3 used to be located. This can easily be opened up again to create a 3 bedroom main house with one separate guest house. The current owners only need the two bedrooms and prefer to be able to offer the two guest houses…

Guest house 1 – as mentioned above, this could easily be incorporated back into the main house if preferred. It is a good size double bedroom with access from a private entrance terrace with great views. It has a built in wardrobe as well as an en-suite shower room. The shower room is super stylish and has a walk in shower.

Guest house 2 – is another good size double bedroom with dual aspect overlooking the private front entrance terrace and the pool area. The en-suite shower room is a delight with stylish tiling and a walk-in shower.

Outside space, the gardens and pool area…

This villa offers so much great outside space…it makes the most of the location and peace on offer to allow people to enjoy the views and privacy at any time of night or day.

There are three dedicated seating areas – one on the entrance, one to the rear of the property and one next to the swimming pool. Each one offers shade and space to relax or entertain.

There are steps up to a small roof terrace which has panoramic views and a useful storage cupboard.

The pool area is a delight – space for relaxing in the shaded seating area, lots of space to sunbathe and of course, the pool itself which measures 8m x 4m. One of the best features of this area has to be the sunken bar area adjacent to the pool. This is a hit with guests of all ages and is perfect for entertaining.

There is a BBQ area for summer dining or parties and the whole pool area is gated for security and nicely private.

A wood store has been created for the storage of logs and a rear utility room is home to the washing machine and hot water boiler and pump. There is also a useful outside storage space at the rear of the house.

The gardens are beautifully colourful but the gardens don’t require constant maintenance. With gravel areas, well planned gardens including two magnificent palm trees and carefully selected plants, the garden is a bounty of colour. There are also a number of trees planted including citrus, figs, almonds and olives.

As mentioned previously, there is a further area of land which is accessed from a gate in the rear garden which can be used for any number of purposes – it is completely flat and could be used for additional parking or the installation of a wooden home or large shed or workshop. Equally, subject to permission from the local town hall, you could construct a guest house on this land – the concrete base is there already!

However, this flat area of land is also perfect for extending the gardens and even becoming self-sufficient. Planting of fruit and vegetables is easy and with the weather in this area, you could be growing your own before you know it.

This second area of land can be accessed from a new driveway which the owners created to make access easier and to add to the separation of this space in the future.

A dedicated parking area is located at the front of the property and this area has also been planted with trees.

La Vinuela and the Axarquia…

This area has long been popular with visitors of all nationalities – the lake has always drawn visitors and the area is now home to people from across the world.

The beauty of this villa is that you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the valley but just 2 mins drive leads you to the A356 between Casabermeja and Velez Malaga. A 15min drive brings you to the beaches of Torre del Mar and the rest of the coastal stretch.

La Vinuela has many local facilities including shops, a number of bars and restaurants and plenty of sporting options including walking routes, mountain biking, horse riding and much more. The area also offers plenty for naturalists to soak up the local flora and fauna and wildlife.

Summary…

This is a peach of a villa and is presented in “walk-in” condition. The peace and quiet make you feel relaxed immediately and yet the villa is not isolated.
