CHARMING RIVERSIDE VILLA WITH POOL & GARDEN
POTENTIAL TO CREATE 2/3 RENTAL UNITS
This delightful 2-storey village property, with a pool and garden, is located in Cañada del Real Tesoro (Estacion Cortes de La Frontera), a charming riverside village situated on the Camino de Santiago walking route, and a hidden gem in the heart of the Serrania de Ronda.
The very spacious villa occupies a good size plot with a garden which has been simply landscaped for easy maintenance, and has a large 10m x 6m swimming pool.
The villa is situated on a quiet residential street at the entrance to the village and would make a wonderful family home, or an ideal vacation venue. Although in an elevated position, it has been fully fenced and screened by natural planting, shrubs etc., ensuring absolute privacy.
Ground floor:
The entrance has a covered porch that opens into a light and airy hallway, leading to two double guest bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and sharing a family bathroom.
There is a large open plan L-shaped living and dining room with an open fireplace. A striking feature of this lovely room, is the double height ceiling and spectacular solid wood gallery staircase to a mezzanine level overlooking the dining area.
There is a very generous kitchen, although a little old fashioned. The storage cupboards are solid wood, and a granite worktop and modern double-sink are recent additions. Upgrading with new tiling and painting the cabinets would transform this kitchen at low cost. It would also be feasible to open up the kitchen to the dining area, improving the flow and open plan theme of the ground floor. Off the kitchen there is a utility/laundry room.
Upper floor:
This level comprises an exceptionally spacious ensuite master bedroom with a private sun terrace and beautiful views of the countryside. The fourth bedroom is further along the mezzanine landing, and is another good-sized double bedroom.
Exterior:
The swimming pool is surrounded by sun terraces and is an eye-catching feature of the garden. Some of the terracing is tiled, with the rest being laid to lawn or artificial grass for easy maintenance.
There is a large shaded terrace overlooking the pool and garden - ideal for outdoor living and a great spot for alfresco dining & entertaining. Below the villa there is a good-sized covered car port.
A real bonus and a great investment opportunity !!
This villa has been used for holiday rentals and has a tourist licence, if this is of interest to the potential buyers.
Also, included in the sale, is an adjoining urban plot of 385m2 with an old Flour Mill (166m2) which is currently used for storage. This presents an opportunity to build 2/3 holiday letting units with a communal swimming pool ~ not only a great investment, but the property could become a home producing a very good income.
