REDUCED!

This stunningly reformed 7 bedroom cortijo, also known as Hotel Los Sibilieys, is located equidistance between Velez Rubio & Puerto Lumbreras. The property is a successful rural hotel with 5 double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms available to rent as well as a separate studio apartment.

Just a 5-minute drive from the motorway, this stunning cortijo sits within a huge plot of over 145,000m², with almond & olive groves. Set in a rural area, this fabulous property has been renovated to a very high standard.

On approach to the property there is a large parking area to the right, suitable for several cars, before the driveway then leads up to a huge front terrace. To the left of the parking area there are additional storage rooms currently housing dirt bikes as the business has been orientated to motocross team training.

The front terrace is a huge area which enjoys the sun all day long due to its south orientation. A set of stairs lead down from here to the pool and bar area. The pool is larger than average at 12 x 5m and the bar area has power connected. There is also a shaded seating area adjacent to the bar. Back on the front terrace, and to the left of the property, there is another shaded seating area that gives access to the dining room. Finally, to the right, a doorway opens into a private courtyard where stairs lead up to the independent 1 bedroom apartment. The courtyard also gives access to an additional utility area and storage rooms as well as the main private living room and kitchen.

Entering the property via double doors, there is a very traditional entrance hall with its own open fireplace. This is more frequently used now as a reception area. To the right is the huge living room with a feature central log burner. Wall to wall windows let in a tremendous amount of natural sunlight and a door from here also leads onto the private courtyard mentioned earlier. This living space was for private use only away from guests. Back in the entrance hall and to the left is the communal dining & living space complete with bar, fireplace, and air conditioning. From here there is direct access to a shaded terrace area. There is also a handy storage cupboard and separate W/C here.

Back in the entrance hall, and directly ahead is an office space which has been kept private from guests. From this office space you can access the huge kitchen with granite worktops, white goods, and central island. The kitchen also allows access to the same rear courtyard as the living room. Back in the office space, a set of stairs lead up directly into the vast master bedroom which boasts a recently renovated en-suite bathroom with walk in shower.

The communal dining room brings us to the base of another set of stairs where we find the 5th bedroom, currently set up as a twin room with en-suite shower room. Due to hotel regulations, this bedroom and en-suite bathroom are completely wheelchair friendly.

A set of stairs then lead up to the first floor with the first double bedroom with en-suite found immediately on the left. This double bedroom boasts a Juliet balcony with rural views and an en-suite bathroom with shower cubicle. Next, we have the 2nd double bedroom, again with Juliet balcony affording stunning rural views and an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower. The third double bedroom is to our right as we walk down the hallway and is the second biggest bedroom in the property after the master. The bedroom boasts twin beds and the en-suite bathroom features a bath. At the end of the hall, the 4th bedroom is on the right, with the master bedroom on the left. The fourth bedroom houses a double bed with en-suite shower room & shower cubicle. The views from the Juliet balconies in this bedroom and the master look down onto the front of the property and the pool area.

As mentioned previously, this property features a separate self-contained apartment with access from the courtyard to the right of the property. This apartment was only reformed in 2020 and boasts an open plan living room & kitchen, spacious double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a shower room. The whole apartment has been finished to a very high standard and is extremely light & bright due to its orientation.

Throughout the property, there is an oil-fired central heating system while air conditioning has been installed in the master bedroom and dining room.

Cortijo Los Sibilieys is a truly stunning property, set in a beautiful location, and really must be seen to be fully appreciated. The property could continue to be operated as a business, or, you could have the grandeur of the home all to yourself.
