For sale direct from the owners!

This charming country home is located directly off tarmac in the hills of the Alpujarra approximately 40mins inland from the Costa Tropical.

Set in a group of four houses, this property is situated to the south and is not overlooked but having close neighbours means you’ll never feel isolated. The house benefits from delightful views to the south and has plenty of peace and privacy.

Alpujarran life is not for everyone, the area is remote, the land is mountainous and services can be limited but the benefits of life in this area can be huge – unspoilt beauty abounds, peace and fabulous views. You’ll soon integrate into the local community and also enjoy the welcome and friendly nature of the locals.

Whilst services aren’t plentiful, the village of Murtas, just a 7min drive away, has regular delivery services and a range of local shops to meet your needs.

Overview:

♦  Traditional Alpujarran country home with a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom main house and a separate self-contained 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom guest apartment. A generous 248M2 total built area in total.

♦  Set in 78,500M2 of land the property is well suited to horse enthusiasts with stables, hay barns, tack room and a new flat area with an arena being installed soon.

♦  Located in the Alpujarras, 7 mins drive (5km) to the village of Murtas.  The property has the Sierra Nevada behind it and a view of the Mulhacen mountain range.  A beautiful mountain setting.

♦  Murtas is a small village.  However, it is where you will integrate into local life.  It has a town hall, a pharmacy, a bar/restaurant, an ATM/cash machine, a medical centre, a small grocery shop, a post office, a primary school and a municipal swimming pool.  Everything you need for everyday life.

♦  Deliveries by van pass the door and will stop if you wish.  There are mobile deliveries from a bakery, fish monger and gas bottles are delivered and the old bottles taken away.

♦  The market town of Cadiar is 26 minutes by car (25km away) and here you will find most modern day amenities.  A bi-weekly market, restaurants, supermarkets, hairdressers, petrol station, secondary school and more.  Everything that is needed for modern day living.

♦  5 km away is a fabulous Bodega (winery) with two restaurants and great wine!  You can walk if you are feeling energetic.  The current owner rides there on horseback and meets friends for lunch regularly.  It is called, Bodega Cuatro Vientos.

♦  Access to this lovely home is off tarmac which means the property is a lot less isolated than many properties in the Alpujarra’s.  Once on the property, there is plenty of parking under the shade of mature trees.

♦  A traditional Alpujarra Cortijo style property to include wooden windows with shutters, terracotta floor tiles and wooden beams in the apartment.

♦  Off-grid for electricity with solar panels and storage batteries for lighting, heating water and heating the pool.  Mains water.  Three wood burning stoves.  There is a generator connected for back-up electricity and a gas boiler for heating water if necessary.

♦  Fibre optic Broadband is connected with a speed of 300Mb at a cost of €35.95 per month.  This can be increased to 1000Mb if required.

♦  Swimming pool with an infinity pool effect (8M X 4M) and stunning mountain views.  The pool is solar heated to extend the season for using it.

♦  Two stables 4M X 3M each and built to a superb standard (connected to mains water).  The horses have immediate access out into the paddock so they can use the stables like field shelters during the day.  Mains water is connected down at the stables and there is a back-up water deposit for emergencies that has never been needed.

♦  Hay barn, tack room, 18M in diameter corral for schooling horses and a securely fenced paddock.

♦  OCA licence to keep 5 horses.

♦  Fenced vegetable garden close to the hay barn.

Who would be attracted to purchase this property:

♦  Someone who wants to keep horses, ponies or maybe even alpacas etc.  Hacking out on horseback is amazing with spectacular views.  The selection of agricultural tracks to explore on horseback in the area are extensive.

♦  Perhaps, Alpujarran living is very attractive to you.  However, with this property… having access off tarmac, a beautiful swimming pool, very fast Internet speed, plus mains water, makes living in the Alpujarras more comfortable and convenient than is common.

♦  Those who prefer to live off grid and use solar with battery storage who prefer to have modern day conveniences to complement the off-grid living!

♦  If you want a property of your own and independent accommodation for visiting friends and family.

♦  A small tourism business, by simply applying for a rural tourism licence to officially holiday let the lower ground floor apartment.

♦  Because of the size of the land and the recent changes to Andalucian Land Law, building an additional property is very viable and possibly a very attractive proposition.

♦  Apply for permission to build a tourism project of several holiday cottages on the land.  Maybe a little eco tourism village?  Andalucian Land Law would allow this and the local town hall would be very receptive to a project of this kind.  Having access directly off tarmac makes this an easier proposition.
