1 bedroom apartment in a stylish gated development, Velez De Benaudalla, Spain

This apartment is ideal for anyone looking for either an investment property to rent out for holidays, or as a retirement property for all or part of the year.

It is in excellent condition and is part of a private, gated development on the edge of a very traditional, Spanish small town.

The apartments were built around 12 years ago, and there are many advantages to owning an apartment here. There are lovely, well-maintained gardens with plenty of quiet seating areas.

The apartment itself is on the first floor of one of the best blocks in the development – central and surrounded by landscaped walkways, water channels and fountains. There is an elevator and a staircase leading to the car park, and providing access to the apartment, the roof terrace and the outside areas.

Inside, the accommodation is well laid out, and each of the main rooms has french windows opening onto Juliet balconies. The apartment is fully furnished so is ready to either move straight in, or start renting for income generation.
