Leading up to the property via a private driveway you will drive through part of the land which provides space for parking. This part of the land hasn?t been landscaped but you could easily do so if necessary. From here double wrought iron gates open into a large driveway laid to gravel with a beautiful orchard on the right planted with a variety of trees, palms and fruit trees. There are also lovely landscaped garden areas on the left of the drive planted with palms, trees and native plants. The driveway leads down past the gardens to a parking area which benefits from space to turn round. Next to the parking area there is a beautiful terrace with a wooden pergola providing shaded seating whilst enjoying the outstanding views. There are grape vines growing over the pergola providing you with your very own grapes and natural shade. To the front of the property there is also a covered porch which then gives way to the front door.

From the covered porch a path leads down to the lower garden which has been beautifully landscaped and features a lovely working fountain in the centre of the garden. The garden is also planted with mature palms, cherry trees, almond, olive, grapevine, native plants and flowering shrubs. There is an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, cupboards, bbq and sink. Next to the outdoor kitchen there is a large insect free enclosure which is ideal for al fresco dining. On either side of the garden pathways lead to a large tiled terrace which then gives way to a large studio / guest house. The studio is very spacious and benefits from a high quality wood burner, toilet, hot & cold air conditioning and two sets of patio doors leading out to the terrace and garden. The studio could easily be converted into a two bedroom self contained apartment for family or to create an extra income. On the left of the studio there is a dog pen and on the right there is a garage / workshop. There is ample space both at the front garden and back garden for a swimming pool if necessary, it would have to be above ground but you can easily make them look like in ground pools.

The covered porch on the front of the property gives way to the front door which opens into a spacious and bright entrance lobby with a beautiful black granite staircase with feature hand crafted iron work leading to the first floor. On the right of the lobby double glazed doors open into a spacious and bright lounge with hot & cold air conditioning, radiators, wood burner and patio doors leading to the front garden. Off the lobby there is also an additional room with access into a downstairs toilet / utility room (this could be used as a fourth bedroom and the toilet / utility room could be used to create an en-suite). On the left of the lobby a single glazed door opens into a very large kitchen diner which features a high quality modern yet rustic kitchen with high quality units, floor to ceiling cupboards on one side, centre island with worktop sockets, hanging extractor, induction hob, steaming oven, electric oven, Belfast sink and dishwasher. From the kitchen diner you have access to a large insect free enclosure and to the side of the property giving way to the outdoor kitchen.

From the entrance lobby the unique staircase leads up to a large bright landing on the first floor which benefits from access out to a large terrace with outstanding views over the surrounding mountain ranges.
