If your dream to own Almond Groves, watch your horses grazing through your front window, have a little herd of goats or chickens then this home is for you.
The property is accessed from the old Lorca Road sitting in between the bustling town of Velez Rubio, Almeria and the quaint village of La Parroquia, Lorca.
The property is approached by a well-maintained track road, passing through the stunning rolling countryside. Immediately you feel the sense of peacefulness and tranquillity. It is a private location however does not feel isolated.
We enter through the main gardens’ gates into a stoned driveway where the home sits to the left. Immediately we are drawn to the views of the Castillo de Xiquena and the rolling hills that expand to the south and east. The swimming pool terrace draws our attention immediately where there are also a good-sized purpose-built kitchen and entertaining area. The gardens open up in front of us, where the current owners have added fencing to provide pastures and grazing for horses. There is plenty of flat land to be able to start your own vegetable and fruit gardens.
The home sits above the pool garden and we enter into the open plan living space. This area would make a perfect entertaining space and maybe you would add a BBQ and kitchen area. This area has slate floor tiles, 3 open windows and pretty glass bricks. This could be left as open plan or fly screens could be added for additional comfort.
There are two entrances into the ground floor main home, one directly into the kitchen and the second into the lounge.
The ground floor kitchen is fully fitted with floor and wall cabinets, twin sinks, feature shelving, gas hob and cooker with a log burner that supplies the ground floor central heating. A feature is the chunky wooden external door with a window hatch, also the concave ceilings.
The lounge sits in the heart of the home, with arch ways to the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. The rear bedroom boasts an adjoining room where the current owners had planned to create a dressing room. There is plenty of room to be able to also add an ensuite too. The second bedroom is accessed by a small lobby with the understairs cupboard, lies to the front with a full wall of fitted wardrobes, wall mounted radiator and wall lights.
This area of the home is needing some love and the current owners will be leaving three brand new internal doors, two new double glazed window units and the equipment to remodel the bathroom- sink, toilet etc. (ALL STILL IN ORIGINAL PACKAGING AND BRAND NEW)
The ground floor bathroom is entered by a lobby that could be included to expand the area. The bathroom has a walk-in shower, sink with cupboard underneath, tiled walls. The current owners have already purchased the equipment to refit this area and will be included in the asking price.
All rooms on the ground have wall mounted radiators that are heated by the kitchen log burner.
The ground floor boasts the original concave ceilings that assist with climate balance throughout the seasons. All the ceilings at ground level and the first floor are high, adding to the spaciousness of the house.
To the right-hand side of the lounge is a staircase leading to the first floor.
The first floor has been remodelled over the past two years to showcase a new fitted kitchen with wall and floor units, gas hob and oven, extractor fan, plumbing for a washing machine and includes a fridge/freezer. There is a west facing window with regas and fly screens and a glass panelled door giving private access.
The lounge has two east facing windows with a fitted pellet burner.
There is a spacious newly fitted bathroom including basin with draws underneath, good-sized walk-in shower and WC, non-slip floor tiles, west facing window with fly screen, shutters and regas.
There are two double bedrooms on this floor too. The first floor has been rewired with new electrics.
Heading back to the left-hand side of the main house on the ground floor we enter the second self-contained apartment. This area gives us a lounge with log burner, bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom also has plumbing for a washing machine.
The living accommodation offers so much potential and needs to be viewed to appreciate all this home offers.
The outside grounds are also impressive with established gardens and Almond Groves. The land is currently maintained by the local farmer who also harvests the almonds.
The gardens surrounding the home have been planned for Al Fresco living with a generous size pool, with 4 jets and surrounding terraces- nonslip tiles too. In this zone of the garden there is the pool/pump house and a outside kitchen with island and electric sockets This area has tiled roofing to provide much needed shelter from the sun during the summer months.
There is a large stable block that has two professional built stalls designed for horse, tack and feed area. The area to the rear of the stable is enclosed with a side gate for easy access to the paddock and pastures. The property holds an OCA licence that can easily be transferred to new owners. The current owner has enjoyed her time hacking around the local hills with her horse and will sadly miss the area.
To the side of the stables are animal shelters that could be used for chickens, goats or dogs. There are five separate dog kennels in another area of the gardens.
We are curious with opportunities of the wooden lodge that sits on its own terrace, there is electricity ran and could offer additional accommodation for family or guests. Personally, I would claim this for my craft/hobby cabin as the views are more than inspiring.
There is a further perfectly planned outside entertaining area – including a Contiki Bar with electric installed. Adjacent to the Contiki bar area is the original bread oven perfect for baking off fresh homemade pizzas.
The Countryside Retreat is set in an idyllic setting whether you are looking for a beautiful family home or a business opportunity - it needs to be seen to appreciate all it offers.
