Direct from owners!, Villanueva De La Concepcion, Spain

For sale direct from the owners!

This traditional Andalucian country home with modern finishes that complement the age and style of the property, offers a huge amount of flexibility in terms of how the house is used in the future. A home with separate accommodation for different parts of the family or perhaps turn it into a Casa Rural with a tourism licence to generate an income from tourism.

The current owners use the beautiful 3 bedroom part of the house with 2 bathrooms (one en-suite) and plenty of living space for themselves to include a walled and gated courtyard that accommodates two outbuildings. Then two further independent parts of the home are enjoyed by visiting family and friends…

In addition, connected to the main house is a self-contained 1 bedroom annex that can be accessed independently.  It has it’s own living room, a fitted kitchen, bathroom and a large west facing terrace with panoramic views.  The annex is perfect for extended family who want their own independence with a lockable door between the annex and the main house allowing complete privacy. This flexibility means the annex can easily become part of the main house or be a stand-alone apartment for family, friends or even paying guests.

A further self-contained 1 bedroom apartment is located below the main house and again, has its own living room/kitchen/dining room, bedroom and shower room. This is currently used for friends and family but could easily be used for paying guests. It has access immediately onto a gravelled lounging area with Jacuzzi, seating area, sun loungers and impressive views across rolling countryside and numerous mountain ranges.  There is a garden that flows from here with two further outbuildings.

The location of the property is perfect for those that want glorious views but don’t want to be stuck down a long dirt track and isolated. Straight off tarmac and just 1.3km/2 minutes by car into Pastelero, a small hamlet with two excellent and popular bar/restaurants serving food and a bakery that also sells daily essentials. Of course you could easily walk even if it is uphill on the way home! This lovely home offers the best of both worlds.

The large village of Villanueva de la Concepcion is just a 10min drive with its wide range of services, to include; shops, restaurants, schools, sporting facilities, municipal outdoor swimming pool, 24 hour medical centre with on-stand-by ambulance etc.

We feel this house offers a huge amount for new owners, here’s our pick of the bunch…

♦ A great location, off tarmac and with panoramic views – some of the best sunsets you can wish for!

♦ A flexible layout perfect for larger families, friends or paying guests!

♦ 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in total.

♦ Three kitchens – ensuring each of the separate sections is self-contained.
