Andalucia, Almería, Albánchez, Spain

Exclusively presented by Almeria Homes: This spacious three-bedroom villa sits on a larger-than-average private plot, complete with a free-form saltwater swimming pool, double car port, large workshop, colourful gardens filled with palms and fruit trees, and far-reaching views over the village and surrounding mountain ranges.

Entering through the main gates, there is a generous driveway with space for several cars, leading directly to a double car port. A wooden gate opens onto a large tiled sun terrace featuring a rounded seating area with concrete pillars and a barbecue space, perfect for outdoor dining. The terrace has been designed with a touch of Al Andalus charm. From here, steps lead to a large insect-free enclosure offering further space for seating and dining. There is also a useful workshop / storage room.

Beyond this is a raised terrace providing excellent views across the town and pool area, as well as a large covered terrace with traditional arched openings and Spanish-style grills, accessed from the pool area and master bedroom.

The gardens and pool area have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private oasis, with mature palms, native plants, and a wide variety of fruit trees including pomegranate, figs, lemon, mandarin, lime, orange, nispero, plum and avocado. There are several seating areas in both sun and shade, a fully stocked fish pond, a vegetable growing area with raised beds, a polytunnel for year-round cultivation, and even a composting section.

Inside, the front door opens to a large fully fitted kitchen to one side and a dining room to the other. An archway then leads into a bright and spacious living room with a feature fireplace housing a wood burner, hot and cold air conditioning, and patio doors opening to the sun terrace. From here, an inner hallway gives access to three generous guest bedrooms, the master bedroom with en-suite shower room, and the main bathroom with a large walk in shower.

The villa is conveniently located just 850 metres (a 1–2 minute drive or 10-minute walk) from the traditional village of Albanchez, which offers shops, a small supermarket, bars, restaurants, a medical centre, pharmacy, school, bakery and weekly market. Further amenities can be found in Cantoria, around 11kms away (10–12 minutes by car), and in the larger market town of Albox, which is just 17.8kms (20–23 minutes by car). The coastal resorts are within a 45 minute drive.
