Arboleas, Almería, Andalusia, Spain

This is a fully reformed semi-detached village cortijo located in the Arboleas area. This beautiful home has 5 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms and boasts a total build size of 304m². The plot measures 452m² which includes a plot of land opposite the house of 113m². This plot was originally earmarked to house a garage and the owners currently use it to park their car.

Situated in La Cinta, there are a couple of lovely tapas bars within walking distance. The village of Arboleas is a short 2-3 minute drive away and here you will find all amenities, including shops, supermarkets, banks, pharmacies, bars, restaurants, fitness centre and a busy weekly market every Saturday. The larger town of Albox is just a 15 minute journey from the property.

As you enter the property, a traditional entrance hall leads to 2 double bedrooms on the left & right, both fitted with ceiling fans. The hallway opens up into a lovely living room which benefits from a large pellet burner set in the centre of the back wall as well as air conditioning. From the living room we have access to another double bedroom, again with ceiling fan. From the living room, a doorway opens onto another hall with the fully fitted kitchen to the left. The kitchen has been finished to a high standard and includes granite worktops, although the design of the kitchen is in keeping with the rustic feel that the owners set out to achieve.

Back in the hall and to the right is a spacious utility room with plenty of storage space, followed by the first of the bathrooms with walk-in shower. The dining room/snug is at the end of the hall boasting a substantial amount of natural light feeding in from the rear garden. To the right of this room is the second bathroom with walk-in shower and extra storage. The ground floor layout is completed with a further double bedroom on the left, currently set up as a storeroom.

At the top of the stairs is a second living room equipped with air conditioning which is perfect for guests looking for their own space. Double patio doors lead out from here onto a huge terrace which enjoys country views and soaks up the sun all day. To the right of the stairs is a room currently being used as an office, but which could easily accommodate a couple of single beds or a double bed, if required. An arch then opens into 2 further rooms which are waiting to be finished. This space has a huge amount of potential and with just a small investment could be converted into a very spacious self-contained apartment.

Back downstairs and off the snug room there is a shaded terrace which is perfect for dining al fresco and overlooks the garden as well as enjoying views of the surrounding countryside. This terrace has been enclosed with fly screens and includes 3 retractable shade awnings. The garden space is ideal for entertaining with most of the area being terraced with a lovely barbecue area to the side. This rear terrace offers plenty of space for the installation of a swimming pool, pending approval from the local authorities.

To summarize, this beautifully reformed property is a fantastic traditional home with many modern comforts. The attention to detail and overall finishings are high quality with lovely rustic features including exposed wooden beams.
