Short Description: REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE - Lovingly restored Cortijo & 16,000m2 land with olives & almonds Full Description: REDUCED BY 40,000 Euros For Quick Sale 3/4 Bedroom 3 Bathroom Cortijada in a spectacular semi-rural position & fantastic views with 16,000m2 of land 35 minutes from the coast. The property has been lovingly restored to a high standard by the current owners. The property consists of: Large entrance hall with staircase and feature beam from the original roof, lounge with original fireplace, fully tiled family bathroom with full size bath, large dining room, Andalucian style kitchen with lovely mountain views, downstairs bedroom with fully tiled en-suite. The first floor has a large landing / bedroom leading to master bedroom again with fully tiled en- suite and further double sized bedroom. Both upstairs bedrooms have access to large upstairs terrace. To the rear of the property is a covered terrace leading to a further large room used by the current owners as a music room. There is also a store-room/utility with outside toilet. The garden area to the rear is fully paved with private, secure access and views of the surrounding countryside. The ground floor has full under-floor heating. All bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. Unusual for Spanish property is the provision of a multitude of electrical points. During the restoration, the roof and outside walls were fully insulated. A completely new electricity supply was installed during the restoration. Also a fully legal registered Well was drilled to supply the house and land and to augment the council water supply. The restoration was completed in 2007 and the owners have photographs of the original cortijada and all through the restoration process. This property is a must see! Location & Area Although set in a peaceful tranquil hamlet, the property is conveniently situated close to the small towns of Sorbas, Lubrin & Uleila del Campo. All have a wealth of café bars, banks, shops, small supermarkets and all have a weekly market selling the usual goods but particularly fresh fruit and vegetables. Sorbas, which is only 15 minutes away has a 24 hour medical centre and the major hospital in Almeria is only 35 minutes away, as is the airport. There are highly praised schools in each of the towns and each has its own municipal swimming pool. Uleila has a massive ferreteria (DIY store) selling almost everything you could possibly need from a single screw to fridges & the latest TV’s. There are also builders merchants, Carpenters shops, metal working, mechanics shops and even a Bodega for the local wine makers. Sorbas is noted for its Gypsum caves and local pottery making. There are 3 local olive presses where we have taken our olives to be turned into our own virgin olive oil. The whole area is predominantly agricultural, given over to mostly Olive & Almond production. Needless to say that in January/February the whole area is a picture when the Almond blossom is in full bloom. Another attraction is the old tradition of the goat herders roaming the hills with their herds. Goat’s milk production is another way of earning a living, all the milk is collected and taken to the Co-operativa to be turned into Cheese! The next time you see “President” Cheese in the local supermarket, the odds are that the milk was produced here! A little further afield is the town of Tabernas with its renowned film studios where the spaghetti westerns were made starring Clint Eastwood. Other films made here include Lawrence of Arabia, Patton, Conan the Barbarian and many others. The studios are open to visitors. Also close by is the “Oasys” theme park with it’s cowboy town and Zoo. Granada is only an hour and a half away with the “Alhambra Palace” and is a site worth seeing dating back to the Moorish times. The resort of Mojacar (reputed to be the birthplace of Walt Disney) is only 35 minutes away, with all the usual tourist attractions including golf and a water park. This makes our area ideal, being far enough away from the tourist crowds, but near enough if you want to be in amongst all the action |
