Arboleas, Almería, Andalusia, Spain

Constructed in 2003, the house is a high specification and quality build that offers spacious living for use as a full time residence or as a family holiday home.

The rectangular plot is divided into several areas with the main entrance of the house being central on it. To the west of the house there is the swimming pool, open terracing, garden, garage and workshop and to the east a second parking area and garden shed.

To the south, the most important aspect when considering buying a property in Spain, there are two large terraces; one ground floor and one on the first floor.

The ground floor terrace is adjacent to the terracing and swimming pool and is ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. With the addition of glass screens to all or even half of it, it could create an extra internal reception room. The first floor terrace is even larger than the ground floor one with stunning mountain views.

Internally, the property comprises an open plan lounge dining room with fire place and two sets of doors that lead to the aforementioned terrace.

Off the living room there is the kitchen that is large enough to accommodate a dining table and chairs for 6 people. The kitchen is fully fitted with white goods and has both a utility room and storeroom off it.

Beyond the living room and kitchen there are two double bedrooms and the family bathroom with bath & shower over, toilet, bidet and basin.

Moving up the internal staircase to the first floor, to the left there is the master bedroom with en suite bathroom with bath & shower over, toilet and basin.

To the right there is the covered terrace that is the footprint of the living room and bedroom below it. This generous space benefits the Mountain Views that the house is named after, and the installation of a glass screen rather than a brick wall to the end of it retains views of the pool and garden below.

The garage with up-and-over door, separate workshop / storeroom and pool side w.c. complete this comprehensive property listing.

The property has been very well maintained and has air conditioning, ceiling fans, fly screens and rejas installed throughout. It also benefits both electric and gas water heaters and has a "D" energy rating which is higher than many Spanish properties.

Arboleas is a small agricultural village of less than 5000 inhabitants and sits alongside the Almanzora river that years ago flowed down to the coast. It is now a dry riverbed until it reaches the Cuevas del Almanzora reservoir and the Canal Remo that was one of the locations for the 2005 Mediterranean games.

The canal is now home to the Lunar Cable Park, an activity location for water sports including zip wire skiing, canoeing, sup boarding and inflatable water assault course.

With shops, banks, supermarket, bars & restaurants, medical centre, in fact everything that you need for day-to-day living as well as a weekly market and a few fiestas, these tick all of the boxes for why Arboleas is known as a traditional Spanish village.

The larger town of Albox is a 10 minute drive away and a visit to the beaches of Vera or Garrucha takes 30 minutes.

Travel times from the property to Almería, Murcia and Alicante airports via the A7/E15 take 60, 80 and 120 minutes respectively.
