Delightfully RESTORED CORTIJO of approximately 196m2 in a wonderfully tranquil location, in the hills close to the famous village of MONTEFRIO and approximately 45 minutes from the city of Granada and airport. For those wishing to live a quiet life in the countryside, in a traditional farmhouse of quality, this is the place for you. The land of 8000m2 is laid out with olives and almonds and there are split-level flagged patios with garden areas, from where one can enjoy the panoramic vistas as far as the eye can see. Services to the property are mains electricity and own water supply plus 8000 litre capacity water deposit. The current owners have a satellite telephone with Internet facility.
The restoration of this cortijo has been meticulously undertaken, with great attention to detail where traditional features such as beamed ceilings, rustic wooden windows, wall alcoves and flagstone and rustic tiled floors have been retained. This is a superb example of a renovated country farmhouse and could be described as 'picture-postcard'. As can be seen from the photographs, this property has great appeal.
One approaches the cortijo along a quiet lane and there is parking under a car port. Walking from the car port round the side of the cortijo the flag-stone crazy-paved patios stretch across the front of the house and on into the garden/pool areas and round to the far side, where there is a lovely porch with seating. In the garden is a large outbuilding which is at present a store-room/workshop approx 7m x 5m and this could be a future project for further accommodation.
Choosing to enter the property from the porch, one enters a large country kitchen approx 4.03m x 3.48m which opens out into the dining room approx approx 5.48m x 3.18m. On into the lounge with fireplace approx 4.08m x 3.14m, bedroom 1 approx 3.86m x 3.63m, bedroom 2 approx 3.16m x 3.11m and lower bathroom approx 4.21m x 0.80m.
On the upper floor are bedroom 3 approx 3.65m x 3.28m, cloakroom with toilet and handbasin approx 2.09m x 1.79m, bedroom 4 approx 3.26m x 3.03m and upper bathroom approx 3.24m x 3.23m with raised bath/shower and handbasin. At this upper level of the house is also a sun terrace approx 4.06m x 3.50m.
This splendid property could be a permanent home, holiday home or it could be quality tourist accommodation for those wishing to spend a quiet time in the hills. Ideal spot for those loving outdoor pursuits who love day-trips out to visit the many local villages with Moorish castles, churches and fortifications, the city of Granada or one of the many lakes. The coast and Sierra Nevadas and the skiing are within 1hr30mins
