THE GARDENS -
In southern Spain a lot of time is spent out-of-doors, so the gardens are very important. The double doors from the lounge opens out onto a very large tiled terrace with plenty of space for eating and lounging, with canopy over. This faces a very attractive, easily maintained, walled garden. This garden, which has a large paved area, is well stocked with mature plants, shrubs and palms. In addition to the main terrace, there are two other shady seating / lounging areas within the main garden. There is also another scheduled garden at the rear of the house.
Apart from the entrance to the house, all the gardens and pool area are completely secluded.
THE SWIMMING POOL -
Between the gardens, and close to the house, is a 7x5m mosaic-tiled swimming pool.
Like the gardens,
the area around the swimming pool area is completely secluded - ideal for 'skinny-dipping' or an 'all-over' tan - if that's your scene !
On two sides of the
swimming pool are sunbathing areas. There is
a shower area and toilet room next to the pool.
ABOUT THE ORCHARD -
The
orchard is 8400 square meters (just over 2 acres) and has well over
500 trees, most of which produce 'Navel' oranges. These oranges produce an annual income and are picked and collected by a local company. Recent annual crops have been around 16 tons.
There are many other fruit trees growing in the orchard for personal use. For
the new owner not wanting to personally maintain the orchard, local
people will look after it for an hourly rate (as-required), or in return for the income from the crop.
ABOUT THE AREA -
This
property is situated about 3km from the quaint old town of
Álora which has many interesting features, including the remains of a
Moorish castle on one of the two hills on which the town straddles.
The large
selection of shops and businesses provide a wide selection of
goods and services,
including two modern supermarkets.
There are many schools and colleges in Álora,
a municipal swimming pool, a new theatre/entertainment centre, a modern indoor sports
centre and many recreational facilities including tennis courts, running track, and a new football stadium.
There are many bus services serving the area and Álora has it's own hourly train connection to Malaga, which links to the Costa del Sol towns and beaches, Madrid and beyond.
This property is an ideal country home, but for the buyer thinking about this property as a holiday home, or as an investment, a real estate agent can provide short or long term lets for an average of around 800 Euros per week, and arrange any necessary cleaning and maintenance.
With the necessary planning permission, a self-contained apartment could easily be created
from existing outbuildings to make a 'granny flat' or holiday apartment to let.
Reason for sale - downsizing.
