The area immediately around the house is flat, with paved terraces all around it. At the far end is a lovely terrace garden with an 8 x 4m pool and a covered terrace at the far end. There is a pump room for the pool and a useful pool shed which is ideal as an outside kitchenette area for storage of food and cold drinks for outdoor dining/barbecues.
The house has two fabulous roof terraces. The first, at the far end, is 8.25 x 5m, with steps from the rear of the property. The second is a spacious 11.5 x 6.5m with breathtaking, all round views – the ideal terrace for watching the stars and for a telescope to observe the planets as there is no light pollution whatsover in this very special location. This terrace is accessed via steps from the pool terrace area, with a useful outdoor WC underneath (2 x 0.8m). The steps lead first to a smaller terrace area overlooking the pool with a door to one of the upstairs bedrooms and a useful store area, and then continue up to the main roof terrace.
The front door leads into a very spacious living/dining area (9.25 x 4.5m) with large picture windows over the impressive views and a woodburner set within a wall of white shelving. To the left, the beautiful kitchen 5 x 5m with fully fitted units and appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a very useful utility, laundry and store room of 5 x 3m.
A corridor accessed from the living room leads to a stairwell, and beyond, a downstairs bedroom (5 x 4.5m) with patio doors to the pool area and a beautiful ensuite bathroom (2.5 x 2m). At the end of the corridor is a door to the pool area.
The stairs lead up to a landing/corridor. Here there are two identical bedrooms (each 4 x 4.5m including a beautifully finished ensuite shower rooms), a door out onto the smaller roof terrace, and a large bedroom/studio of around 21m2, with plumbing for an ensuite bathroom (just needs the walls and bathroom suite installing).
All three upstairs bedrooms have long, elegant balconies over the views.
There is a separate store room accessed from the side terrace for storing outdoor furniture etc.
The property has mains electricity and its own very pure well water, tested and certified for drinking, with a large water storage deposit. There is also rain water collection via guttering into a huge storage deposit under the car park, ideal for topping up the pool and irrigating any plants.
The land is very steep but there is an area just next to the pool terrace that would make a lovely additional garden area, should anyone wish to create a planted garden. It is currently planted with almond trees and indigenous bushes and trees.
This beautiful property is ideal for anyone wishing to enjoy a country home in the mountains, be it for holidays or a retirement or permanent home, within 15 minutes of a very good country town with excellent facilities and within 50 minutes of Malaga and the coast. It would also work extremely well as a holiday let or even as a B&B.
