Let’s explore further

We leave Velez Rubio and head via a tarmacked road – distance is 1.4 km and only a 4 minute drive. The last approach is a short, maintained track through the almond and olive groves. The almonds are rather spectacular when in blossom and fill the area with the sweet blossom aroma. We enter the properties main garden through two gates. The driveway offers plenty of space for parking and sweeps around the property.

The swimming pool 10 x 5m with depths of 1.4 to 1.72m sits to the right-hand side and was built with full licences, the pool has surrounding terraces with ample space for outside entertaining and is enclosed with fencing.

The two houses are enclosed with a walled border with a brick-built BBQ and laid with tiles and stones. This area is 17.4 x 9m. The main house is entered through ornate arches into the front porch which is the ideal space to keep cooler in the summer months – ample space here for table and chairs being 3 x 9m.

We enter the main house in the central wooden door into the open plan kitchen/diner, although there is ample space to include a lounge area. Here we have the fitted kitchen with breakfast bar on the right-hand side and open space area to the left. This side is where the log burner is fitted- this powers the central heating system throughout the whole house. There is also a ceiling fan and air con unit which provides cold and hot heating controls.

The kitchen area boasts a butlers sink, SMEG range Induction cooker, extractor fan fitted wall and floor cupboards and breakfast bar. This room has two south facing UVPC windows with flyscreens, shutters and regas. All the windows in the property offer the same. The ceilings through the property are also very high adding to the spacious feel.

The staircase to the first floor sits in the middle of the home. The left side we have a separate lounge 3.4 x 3.9m with UVPC windows offering mountain views. There is a further log burner, ceiling fan, wall mounted radiator and concealed understairs cupboard with shelving – perfect to keep your cleaning equipment out of sight.

To the right-hand side we have the ground floor bedroom, currently utilised as an office with the bathroom/ensuite leading off. The bathroom is 1.82 x 3.97; the walls are half tiled with a corner walk in shower. Due to the location with the window facing to the internal courtyard, it may be possible to add a doorway, so this is accessible from the gardens. The current owners also use this area as a utility having the washing machine plumbed in.

Heading to the first floor we have three double bedrooms – all averaging a spacious 4 x 4m2. The south facing bedrooms have UVPC glass panelled doors leading to the outside terrace. All bedrooms have ceiling fans and bed 4 has a aircon unit fitted. All rooms have wall fitted radiators supplied by the ground floor log burner. The doors to the terrace also have flyscreens panels. The views from the terrace are quite breathtaking – looking across the rolling hills, mountains and the town of Velez Rubio. The main church can be seen from here which looks spectacular at night with the spiral lite up.

The bedrooms and family bathroom all lead off the hallway which is measures 5.2 x 1.1m.

The family bathroom is generous in size with a full bath with overhead shower, fitted wall units with a mirror, lights and basin. Due to the size of this room it could be divided to add an ensuite onto bed 3, there would still be plenty of space remaining as a family bathroom.

The ceilings on this floor are also very high adding to the spaciousness.

On the right-hand side of the main house there is a large man cave-workshop with electric already installed. There is a doorway to the garage – these spaces are perfect to keep the tools of the house contained. The workshop measures 4.16 x 9.81 and the garage is 6 x 4.6 m. The workshop is accessed by the internal courtyard and as mentioned above the window from the ground floor bathroom is to this zone.

The detached additional house offers a wealth of opportunities- the front of the property has four rooms with concrete/tiled floors that have been used as residence and maps the layout of a ground floor apartment. The rear of the house would have been for the farm animals. This building would make a stunning Air BNB opportunity, a self-contained house for a multi-generational family or if you are a therapist wanting a separate space for retreat treatments/craft classes this could be ideal.

About Spanish Property Choice, Almeria

Av. Del Mediterraneo 363, 04638 Mojacar, Almeria, Spain

Channel 4, Sun, Sea And Selling Houses - Has made the Garners of Spanish Property Choice a household name. Garner-ing TV Heaven!

Business is booming for this top Almerian real estate agency following regular appearances on the very successful UK Channel 4 property show. Spanish Property Choice run by the Garner family from Birmingham for the past 14 years, is one of only two family run businesses featured in the popular Channel 4 series, Sun, Sea and Selling Houses. Series 1 consisted of 20, hour-long episodes that followed the day-to-day business of this agency selling dream Spanish properties to British investors. It also chronicled their family adventures along the way. And it seems Mum Sharon, Dad Steve, daughter Emma, son Shaun and son-in-law Matt have made quite an impression on the viewers following their trials and tribulations.

But the firmly established agency has also seen a big demand from those seeking properties in the sun. So much so, their Facebook page has been swamped with messages, followers and enquiries causing a few late nights in the Garner family household. Sharon takes up the story: “It was a great pleasure to be asked to take part in the series, and we're all absolutely amazed by the response. We've actually had a few sleepless nights just trying to keep up with the enquiries. We now have clients all over the world watching the show and contacting us to help them find their dream home in Spain. Business has always been good, but this extra exposure has really fired things up. We hoped it would go well but this has all been well above our expectations. We agreed to do the show because we wanted people to know there are good estate agents out there, who do care about their clients and that we are not all sharks just after a commission, I believe by the response that we have had since going to air, we have achieved that”.

So what's been the secret of this family’s success? Steve told us: “I think viewers and prospective buyers have seen just how honest we all are. We've just got on with things and been ourselves throughout the filming. Our family and staff are all passionate about delivering a first class service and helping people to fulfill their dreams along the way. When we recommend a property, it's almost as if we are thinking of buying it ourselves. We always offer advice and guidance relating to the real day-to-day world in Spain, and people appreciate that.

Shaun added: “I think viewers have identified strongly with the family feel of the series. They can see it´s lighthearted and we are all genuine people who have just the same ambitions and dreams as them. Potential buyers need to know they can fully trust those advising them, and we look upon each client as a new friend we're trying to help.

The show was such an amazing success with the public and people looking for a new life or investment in sunny Spain, that Channel 4 offered them a second series, which they completed filming in December 2017, a further 25 x 1 hour episodes of Sun Sea and Selling Houses due to air around March 2018.

When Stephen and Sharon moved to this beautiful province of Costa Almeria, their original intention was to semi retire and never once imagined that one day they would be a household name. Their son Shaun attended a Spanish public school, and Emma found employment initially for a Spanish recreational company. However after a very short period of time, Stephen and Sharon were head hunted by a Spanish Property Developer in Olula del Río, who saw potential in the historical experience they both had to offer. Consequently they opened their first office predominantly selling old farmhouses; cave houses and traditional Spanish village houses. The rest as they say, is history.

So Spanish Property Choice has without doubt been building their empire in Spain and has successfully developed into the areas leading Real Estate Agency. They will tell you though and you will see by watching the show, they don´t take themselves too seriously but they do take their business very seriously. They will admit they are not perfect, as they say no business is, however they can say with hand on heart that no other agent will work harder to find their clients the perfect property and also secure a quick sale for their owners.

Spanish Property Choice now lead the market for Inland and Coastal re-sale properties and long term rentals with 2 offices located on the beautiful coastline of Mojacar Playa, Costa Almeria and they also have a prime inland office in Albox, Costa Almeria, securing you their clients a fully independent portfolio of both inland and coastal properties.

Rob Butterfield, Executive Producer for Ricochet says: “We can all relate to wanting to give up Blighty to go live in sunny Spain. This series is following the Brits chasing that dream, and the people helping them make it a reality, living the dream themselves. Our two families are very much at the heart of their communities and this will enable us to see what life in the sun is really like. The Garners are making waves on the Spanish property scene in Mojacar. Mum Sharon and Dad Steve may be the bosses, but the agency is a real family affair.”

Sun, Sea and Selling Houses was commissioned my David Sayer for Channel 4, Executive Produced by Rob Butterfield and Series Produced by Emma Walsh for Ricochet.
