Lubrín, Almería, Andalusia, Spain

For those purchasers looking to purchase the true Spanish lifestyle in the Andalucian countryside, this property, in need of modernization, has endless potential.

The property originally constructed in 1910 and partially renovated over the years was habited until only 3 years ago. The property has mains electricity, water and sewerage and has a new roof covering the entire first floor of the property.

The ground floor consists of 84m² which includes a living area with stairs that provide access to the master bedroom on the first floor; 2 further spacious bedrooms; a simple kitchen with gas oven & hob, basin and a new extractor; and a fully functional bathroom with bath, toilet and basin.

The master bedroom on the first floor is a great size and could be updated with large windows that look over the surrounding peaceful countryside. Subject to building permission, a terrace could be fitted on the roof of one of the ground floor bedrooms to create a brilliant terrace that would have 180º views from its elevated south-east position.

There are two further rooms on a lower level accessed from the exterior which in the past housed animals. These rooms could be developed to become guest accommodation as the views from here are mesmerising.

Externally at the entrance to the property there is a terrace which would make the perfect al fresco dining spot.

The 52m² ruin, independently located a few metres away from the property, is in need of a total reform. Constructed in 1930 on residential land, this could either be re-built to become a large garage with parking and storage or similar; or even torn down to create a garden and/or pool.

Access to this property is via a narrow village lane with room to carefully manoeuvre the vehicle outside the property.

El Marchal, surrounded by almond trees in the Sierra de los Filabres foothills has less than 70 permanent residents with most homes being family owned holiday homes. It is a whitewashed village with a local Church and forms part of the larger town of Lubrín situated only 10 minutes drive away where you will find bars, restaurants, a pharmacy, a weekly fresh fruit & veg market with cheese and cured meat stalls, primary school, medical centre and a small supermarket.

Lubrín is also host to the famous food festival once a year where local fresh produce is celebrated and shared and the San Sebastian patron saint of Lubrin bread fiesta that is extremely popular in the local area.
