Los Gallardos, Almería, Andalusia, Spain

This large family home sold part furnished and spread out over four floors is entered by a small gated porch area.

From here, the front door opens into an inviting hallway off which all rooms on the ground floor can be found.

The ground floor consists of an open plan living/dining room currently partially separated by a thin wall which was previously used by the elderly owner to create a bedroom area on this floor; a large fully equipped family kitchen with a small patio to the rear used as a utility area and a w/c with toilet and basin.

Moving upwards through the property to the first floor there are 3 double bedrooms, two with Juliet balconies, the third with a fitted wardrobe and a good size family bathroom with shower and shower screen, toilet, bidet and basin.

On the third floor there is access to the roof top solarium that benefits from good views of the local town and the Sierra Cabrera mountain range. This is an ideal place to sunbathe or entertain.

Back to the ground floor there are a set of stairs which provide access to the basement area which uses the entire footprint of the house. This space could easily become a games room, office, cinema area etc...

The beaches of Mojácar, Garrucha and Vera are only 15 minutes drive away and the local village of Los Gallardos 2 minutes.

Los Gallardos has a variety of bars and restaurants providing both traditional Spanish fare and English dishes too. With two small supermarkets and the weekly street market offering a large selection of fresh fruit and vegetables that's the food shopping taken care of too.

The A7/E15 is close by making travelling times to Almería, Murcia and Alicante airports 45, 80 and 120 minutes respectively.

Golfers have a varied selection of courses to choose from in the area including Marina Playa on the coast, the Arizona style course at Desert Springs and the Valle del Este with 4* Hotel & Spa just a few kilometres away.

Skiing in the morning and being down on the beach in the afternoon is possible with Sierra Nevada ski resort being only approximately 2½ hours away and in recent years has grown in popularity with some of the best snowfalls in Europe.

Walking, bowls and craft clubs are also plentiful so there is always something that you can get involved with should you wish to.

Los Gallardos is a popular destination for Spanish and tourists alike for the annual Three Kings celebration and re-enactment in January and also the July fiesta. The village has received considerable funding to build a new health centre, school and sports facilities with a new cultural centre recently being completed too.
