3893 REDUCED Cortijo on two levels, with stunning views

REDUCED

This is a two story, south facing cortijo was newly built in 2007 with a great deal of thought and attention to detail. Currently it is presented as two 62m² apartments, one on each floor with separate entrances. The top one being completely finished and the bottom floor needing very little work to complete, it would be an easy task to link the two floors internally and create a residence with 2 bathrooms and 3 or possibly 4 bedrooms.

The property is in a private position just a few hundred metres off the road from Valor to Mairena. A track passes the property entrance from which a short driveway leads to the cortijo, where there is space for parking several cars. 

From the parking area there is the main entrance to the upper floor, opening into the open-plan hall/ kitchen/dining/living area. The whole room is light and airy, having multiple windows to two adjacent walls. The kitchen has quality fitted wooden units and a granite topped breakfast bar with feature lighting above. To the side of the breakfast bar is the dining area, leaving the rest of the room as a comfortable living area with a wood burner. The bedroom and bathroom are accessed from the hall area. The spacious bedroom has freestanding furniture and the tastefully tiled, modern bathroom features a bathtub with shower over.

The downstairs area is divided into a large bedroom, a storeroom, an unfinished shower-room and a large open-plan area, which could either become the living/kitchen area of the second apartment or provide an extra bedroom or two for anyone wishing to create a comfortable home. Electrics and plumbing are installed, the walls are rendered and floors tiled, so there really is minimal work to do.

The property has a new solar system fitted, complete with lithium batteries, also a new gas hot water boiler. Water is provided via a 60,000 litre covered deposit which has a newly installed pump system giving good pressure to the cortijo. The property has 1.5 hours of water every 2 weeks for irrigation purposes.

The property is set in approximately 9500m² land, some of which is terraced. The land immediately surrounding the cortijo has mature trees and plants. There are various open and naturally shaded areas, ideal for relaxing or dining and directly in front of the ground floor is a large flat, south facing area, which would make a wonderful terrace with stunning views.

Válor is only a 10 minute drive away with its bars and restaurants, a school, bank, medical centre, and a few shops. 

The larger town of Ugíjar is just 5 minutes further. Both Granada and Almería airports are 90 minutes away and Málaga is now reachable in under 2 hours, making air travel very convenient and putting you within easy reach of some fantastic cities. 

The coast is just 45 minutes to the south and if you go a further hour east, there are some truly wonderful beaches in the Cabo de Gata Natural Park.
