Opis:

Properties of this character and charm rarely appear in today's market. A unique opportunity to own the major part of a 19th century Palacio known as palacete, situated in the town of Teba, forty minutes from Ronda and one hour from Malaga and Marbella, in the mountains of Southern Spain.

This historic town house best displays its heritage through the abundance of original 19th century architectural details; and original decorative tiled flooring throughout.

Refurbished in 2005 with new bathrooms, new kitchen, central heating, and the building of the rear wing terrace and swimming pool, it covers 360m2 over three floors. The house currently has three-bedrooms with space for a further three to four with en-suite on the 120m2 third floor.

The ground floor has one guest bedroom, a reception area and hallway. The marble tiled staircase, featuring original Siglo XIX wrought iron balustrades, leads to a first floor reception room with exquisite Art Nouveaux decorative painted ceilings, and high-end plaster cornice-work along with the finest quality bevelled glass, carved wooden doors.

From this room, to the left, we have the second reception room, leading in turn to the large lounge, two bedrooms, one with en-suite and the staircase leading to the third floor. All rooms feature the same quality Art Nouveaux decorative painted ceilings, all accessed via their original, tall, Siglo XIX, marquetry panelled, wooden doors.

To the right, the dining room, kitchen and utility room, second bathroom and hallway leading to a rear terrace with swimming pool with fine views of the castle.

The third floor covers 120m2, and gives ample space to develop a generous lounge/roof terrace, or, an additional four bedrooms with en-suite.

The Romeo and Juliet balconies off the master bedroom and the lounge, afford marvellous views of the local fiestas. One fiesta in particular attracts international attention, celebrating the ultimate sacrifice made by Lord Douglas of Scotland, who, returning from the crusades in 1329 with the heart of Robert The Bruce, died, helping to defend the town from the invading Moors.

Nestled in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the town is world renowned for its country walks through the surrounding hills, mountains, woodlands and the lakes of Guadalteba, all of which act as popular sites for bird watching enthusiasts. International cycling teams use the area for training and hang-gliders use the mountain shelf to the West of the castle as a launch site. The mountaineering region of El Chorro is very close-by.

This is an ideal property for those you who are looking for the tranquillity and natural beauty of rural of Spain.

Properties of this quality, in this vicinity, rarely appear on today's market, offering as it does the best of both worlds.

Rural Spain is attracting more visitors to outdoor pursuits every year. And while other sectors of the market close for the majority of the year, this is a year-round opportunity. It is the only area of Spanish tourism that continues to grow year on year and has the largest sector growth p.a. in Spain for 2012.
