OLD MILL approximately 500m2 PARTIALLY RESTORED which requires completing on a PLOT of 3200m2 of LAND on which is an ORCHARD of ORANGE TREES, OUTBUILDINGS and COURTYARDS. In a truly delightful and tranquil location which offers a purchaser many options for PERSONAL USE or as a COMMERCIAL VENTURE - perhaps a small country hotel or restaurant.
The old mill has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Neglected in recent years, the building is not in too bad a condition, although very grubby and untidy and partitioned off into a number of rooms on split levels. The gardens are overgrown and it is a paradise for an avid enthusiast for gardening. The river runs to the rear of the whole property where trees and plants flourish in abundance. There have also been plans in the past to capture the water source and have a small lake in the garden area. There is a large water feeder channel which leads to two waterfall funnels, down which the water would fall to allow the machinery on the lower level to function.
The main millhouse is approached on different levels:
Upper level leads past the water channel, through a garden area onto a large terrace approx 16m x 5m which overlooks the river and abundant flower growth. At this level also are four rooms approx 7m x 4m, 3m x 3m, 4m x 2.75m and 3m x 2m.
Middle split-level three rooms to the rear, one with balcony, approx 4m x 3.5m and 2m x 1.5m store-room and the other 5m x 3m with balcony. Down steps there are two rooms (ideal as bedroom and en-suite bathroom) which overlook a lower patio.
The lower level is the main entrance which leads between two tall, arched gateposts onto a split-level, paved patio approx 11m x 4m with buildings either side. The, walled-in building to the left was once a pheasantry approx 15m x 15m and a path leading out to the rear garden and the river. To the right is a wing which has a centre patio approx 11m x 9m and four rooms which once housed animals. The raised part of the front patio has a large vine and traditional bread oven in usable condition.
Entrance into the house gives access to room 1 - approx 8m x 4m with fireplace, room 2 (kitchen) approx 7m x 3m and pantry approx 3m2 from which is access out to the lower patio approx 80m2 with utility area. Bathroom approx 3.5m x 2.5m, room 3 approx 5m x 3.5m with steps up to patio, room 4 approx 4m x 4m, bathroom approx 3m x 3m, room 5 approx 6m x 4m and on an upper level room 7 with wardrobes approx 4m x 4.5m, room 8 approx 9m x 3.5m and room 10 approx 3.5m x 3.5m.
Below the property is the cobbled room approx 20m x 3m in which are housed the original millstones and from this room is access out into the lower garden with the river below, the outbuildings and courtyards.
Located in the centre of the Axarquia region with easy access to the coast and up into the hills and Natural Parkland with local pine forests. Approximately 1hr15mins from Malaga airport.
