Cortijo Monterosa, Albox, Almeria, Spain

Excusively presented by Almeria Homes! This meticulously refurbished one-bedroom character property is a haven set in a spacious private and elevated plot, featuring a substantial 190m2 terrace as well as a fully insulated container (could be a 1 bed self contained apartment or studio) and breathtaking 360º views of the surrounding mountain ranges.

Approaching the property via a dirt road, you're greeted by a large driveway at the front, providing ample parking space for several cars. On the right of the driveway there is a car port for shaded parking.

Moving to the rear of the property, a vast L-shaped covered sun terrace unfolds, creating a perfect space for seating, relaxation, dining, and entertaining, all against the backdrop of uninterrupted mountain views. Double doors from the terrace lead into a rustic yet modern fully fitted kitchen with a breakfast bar. On the left of the kitchen is a spacious and bright living-dining room with a wood burner. On the right of the living room, a modern sliding door opens into the shower room, boasting a delightful walk-in shower, basin, toilet, utility area and double doors offering lovely mountain views of the rear garden. A door on the other side of the shower room opens into the bright and spacious bedroom, accessible from both the kitchen and bathroom.

The expansive sun terrace, wrapping around the property, provides approximately 190m2 of space for various activities, including dining, relaxation, and entertainment. It's a fantastic spot for unwinding while enjoying the outstanding views. The land surrounding the property is predominantly planted with olive and almond trees, and there's a flat area that would be ideal for horses along with a stable. There is ample space for an above ground swimming pool or hot tub if required. Because the land drops off on the left of the house it would be ideal to install an above ground pool on a lower level to create an infinity style pool with a decked terrace.

Adjacent to the main house, there's a container/studio that's fully insulated, featuring a large window providing tons of natural light and fantastic mountain views. Equipped with a wood burner, efficient insulation, and the potential for conversion, it's currently used as an office / storage room. This multifunctional space could easily become an apartment or provide additional sleeping quarters. The container also benefits from a large shaded seating area.

Nestled in a picturesque location just a 14 minute drive or 40 minutes cycling (8.8 kms) from the bustling market town of Albox, where all essential amenities like supermarkets, banks, bars, restaurants, pharmacies, post offices, and medical centers are conveniently located. Coastal resorts are a mere 45-minute drive away, and the nearest airport is just over an hour's drive.

The property, fully renovated, boasts a new roof, wiring, plumbing, windows, and doors. All windows are double-glazed, all lighting is dimable LED and the wiring is discreetly hidden, eliminating visible cords. Mains electricity reaches the property underground, preserving unobstructed views. With mains electric and water delivered and stored in a 10,000L tank, this property is not just a home it's a sustainable retreat. The property does benefit from an alarm system in both the house and the container for added security.

The current owners let the property throughout the entire year which provides a steady income. They have a license which can be transfered over or you can start a new one which can sometimes be much quicker.
