Country house in Albox, Almería inland, Spain

Large detached 5 bedroom character property set in a large private and elevated plot with a 5 x 2 m swimming pool, landscaped gardens, hundreds of almond trees, garage and stunning far reaching views over the surrounding mountain ranges. This lovely property is situated in a quiet location within a 23 minute drive (15.3kms) from the market town of Albox where you will find all of the necessary amenities for a day to day life. The smaller town of Taberno is within a 15 minute drive (9.1kms) where you will find some amenities. The coastal resorts are within an hours’ drive and the nearest airport is within an hour and a half drive. The property is set within a large plot planted with almond trees which are maintained by a local farmer in exchange for the almonds. As you approach the property a private driveway laid with gravel leads to double wrought iron gates which open into a large drive offering ample space to park several cars. On the left of the drive a path leads to a paved terrace which then gives way to a large garage 32m2 garage providing space for parking and storage. The garage could easily be converted to create a self contained apartment if necessary. From the terrace a marble paved pathway leads to a large fenced garden planted with almond trees and mature grape vines. The garden benefits from outstanding far reaching views over the surrounding mountain ranges and distant coastal resorts. There are also two storage rooms which are used as log stores. The terrace to the front of the property gives way to a door opening into a small enclosed porch which leads to the front door. The front door opens into a spacious living-dining room with access into a sun room and a feature fireplace housing a fan assisted log burner. On the left double doors open into a large and bright sun room / second living room with doors leading out to a lovely private pool area with a 5x2m pool, large sun terrace and outstanding views. (The terrace needs maintenance as a lot of the tiles have been removed and others are beginning to lift but this wouldn’t be a costly job and we can recommend local builders). The sun room also provides access to a cloak room and also benefits from doors out to a smaller terrace which offers outstanding far reaching views. From the main living room a door opens into an inner hall with a bedroom on either side both with en-suites. The hall then leads into a large kitchen diner with a door opening into a lovely bright living room with a feature fireplace housing a log burner and doors leading out to the pool area. On the right of the living room a door opens into a bedroom which is currently used for storage. Back in the kitchen diner a staircase leads up to a large landing with a wood burner on the first floor. The landing gives way to two very large bedrooms, both with access into a large bathroom.
