Description:

When a cortijo is described as “restored”, depending on the author it can mean it has new electrics or plumbing, perhaps even a new roof. This particular property is FULLY RESTORED and requires no further work before the new owner can enjoy it

Situated in Almocaizar, a few kilometres from the busy village of Los Gallardos, this beautifully restored and developed property sits elevated overlooking the hamlet and takes in wonderful mountain views.

The ground floor of the cortijo comprises a south facing terrace that runs the full width of the property; entrance porch; a large lounge that similar to the outside terrace is the full width of the property and benefits a log burning stove; dining room; fully fitted kitchen and separate utility area that together provide plentiful working space, generous storage and a second dining area; a double bedroom and bathroom with shower, toilet and basin.

A central staircase gives access to the double sided landing on the first floor where there are three double bedrooms all benefiting feature sloping wooden beamed ceilings and a bathroom with bath & shower over, toilet, bidet and basin.

To the rear of the property, also accessed from the first floor landing there is a fly screen room that the current owners use as an entertaining area and another dining area option. Also on this level are a very private low maintenance garden, tiled terrace, Jacuzzi that is included in the sale and outdoor shower.

As already stated the property has been developed to a high standard and is an excellent example of how a restoration should be done. Original character features have been retained and more modern day luxuries such as gas powered central heating have been carefully added. Other essentials these days for many people are good internet and telephone connections which this also has.

Almocaizar is a traditional Spanish hamlet where you will see your Spanish neighbours sat around a table for many an hour, gesticulating and animatedly putting the world to rights. This may sound a strange statement but it is to stress that this is not an English hideaway location. However, with a little Spanish vocabulary in your armoury you will be welcomed by them as the current owners have been and they have lived very happily here for the past 10 years.

The Hamlet is visited through the week by a baker, butcher and fishmonger amongst others and the village of Los Gallardos 8km away has medical facilities, banks and supermarkets. Larger towns such as Vera, Garrucha and Mojacar are approximately 15 to 20 minutes away and can provide everything else including some wonderful beaches.

With excellent and easy access to the A7/E15 transfer times to Almeria, Murica (San Javier) and Alicante airports are around 35, 80 and 120 minutes.

As is the case with properties of this type the facade is very deceiving if you try to guess how much property there is behind it and this is no exception. It is a true gem, a lot of property and is suitable for immediate occupation. Viewing will not disappoint a discerning prospective purchaser looking for this style of property.
