Property Description
For sale direct from the owner!
This charming home and separate guest house is located close to the popular village of Orgiva and is perfect for year round living in this popular part of the Granada province.
The guest house provides an opportunity to generate income or accommodating visitors or extended family. This guest cottage is completely independent of the main house and has its own separate entrance, gardens and swimming pool!
The current owner has enjoyed the property over the last 22 years and has done a tremendous amount to make it a comfortable year round home. Whether for permanent residence or as a holiday home, the location is perfect for enjoying the peace and privacy but it is not isolated – just off the Lanjaron to Orgiva road and just a 2km drive into Orgiva itself.
The property comprises two traditional Spanish farmhouses with a total of 5 or 6 bedrooms depending how you want to make the layout work.
The mature gardens and the space between the two houses make it ideal for the owner to reside in one and rent out the other – don’t forget there are two separate garden areas including two pools and pool houses, plus an orchard, so there is never any conflict for taking a dip in the summer heat. Each of the houses has its own individual electronically controlled entrance ensuring the owners and guests can enjoy their own privacy. This is ideal for paying guests but it also means the property can work for two separate families or groups of friends.
The accommodation of both houses…
Finca Buenavista is a real party house!
It has an attractive wooden porch surrounded by flower beds overlooking the gardens and pool and mountains beyond. It is built in the traditional Alpujarran country style with wooden beamed ceilings.
The living accommodation is open plan with lots of light flowing in from the triple aspect.
The living room is arranged on three levels, creating different zones for relaxing and dining and has brick and stone features. An efficient wood burning stove is ideal for the cooler months. Off the dining area an open space features a wine, glass and drinks cupboard. The kitchen is open plan to the living space and has a window looking up to the top terrace and mountains beyond.
There is a small hallway, leading on the right, to a large fully tiled pantry with numerous shelves, plus a granite topped cupboard for storage. On the left is a staircase leading to the upper terrace with a built in BBQ and granite topped dining table, potted plants and magnificent views over Orgiva and Sierra Lujar mountains.
Back down to pantry level you enter a good-sized bedroom with a built in wardrobe and imaginative Moroccan styled walls. There is an entrance with two steps up to a sitting room which has French doors to its own small terrace. The en-suite bathroom with shower etc is off the sitting room.
A few steps take you down to a large inner hallway off which is a bathroom, with bath, shower, toilet, sink with cupboards and attractive atrium. In the hallway a tall wooden storage cupboard is next to wooden housing for the washing machine. A doorway takes you to the library, computer room, office or 4th bedroom. Also, from this lower level a few steps take you up to a bedroom with feature built in wardrobe and storage space. Wake up to the dawn chorus and mountain views.
From the lower inner hallway turn left along a passageway. On your left is a large linen cupboard opposite which is the en-suite with shower, sink and toilet. At the end of the passage is another beamed bedroom with wardrobe and feature stone walls. This room also has French doors on to a terrace with table and chairs.
Jasmin Cottage – the guest house is completely separate from the main house and is built of stone which runs through the interior styling.
This is the ideal way to create income whilst enjoying a relaxed lifestyle but if you don’t want the additional work that short term letting demands you could just let it long term, or you
can always use this for friends and family who come to stay. Everyone maintains their own privacy and seclusion and with two double bedrooms, it can accommodate two couples or families.
A generous living room opens through French doors onto the private terrace, swimming pool and orchard.
It has a sunny aspect and the evening sunshine coming through the refurbished original rear windows, fitted with stained glass is delightful. The wood burning stove provides a cozy atmosphere in the Winter evenings with its heavily beamed ceiling and stone walls. An arched doorway leads through to the kitchen which has space for a small dining table, cooker, electric water heater, gas cooker, fridge freezer and plenty of cupboard space.
The cottage has a fitted shower room, with wash hand basin, toilet and there is a separate laundry room. It has a double bedroom and a twin bedded room, both of which are generously sized and open on to a patio.
Equally, both have their own access to the bathroom and vine covered patio overlooking the orchard and with plenty of space for dining and relaxing.

Outside space and gardens
The gardens have been a labour of love for the current owner who has created a mature and private environment for both houses. Each house comes with terrace spaces which is the ideal way to relax and enjoy the best of the weather.
Lawned areas, sunbathing space and of course, there is a swimming pool and pool house for each house!
The gardens are arranged on various levels and total just less than half an acre and offer a mix of fruit trees, mature palms, plenty of citrus trees and various patios or terraces on which to sit and relax in the shade.

Orgiva and the Alpujarras
Orgiva has long been a popular destination for people looking to relax into a traditional Spanish way of life. The bustling market town has plenty to offer and the 2km from the house to the town is an easy walk.
