- SOLD - Large house in small hamlet with stunning views

- SOLD - Situated only a 10 minute drive away from the beautiful beaches and the center of Castell de Ferro lies this unique property, surrounded by nature and connected to electricity, water and the internet. The last kilometer of the drive up to this house is unpaved but accessible with a normal car. This house is the front part of a small hamlet. There are neighbors for a chat or a helping hand and who can feed your cat if you are away. The house has been completely modernized in 2021: bathroom and kitchen, double glazed aluminum frames, everything painted and a wood-burning stove installed.

The property consists of 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom with sink, toilet, shower and bathtub upstairs, a half bath with toilet and sink downstairs, very large living room, laundry room, kitchen, garden, balcony, several patios, land and a large garage/storage space ideal for example for garden tools and wood for the winter.

At only an hour drive from Granada, 75min from Málaga and 1 hour from Almería, this is the perfect place to live a quiet life with the advantages of big cities nearby.

At 300m above sea-level, you are surrounded by the mountains at the foot of the majestic sierra de Lujar and are immersed into the olive, almond and fig-tree orchards. You can park your car right next to the large garage of the house and climb up a staircase with on your right a garden and the left the front door. Above the garage is a large terrace that is connected to the kitchen and dining area so it is perfect for entertaining, bbq parties or relaxing outside with spectacular views of the mountains and a beautiful ruin a little further up the mountain.

You enter the house through an arched canopy at the front door into the dining area with an open modern kitchen. The space is light and elegantly designed with white cement countertops, wooden cabinets doors and built-in shelving. It is fully equipped with an oven, dishwasher and induction hob all installed in 2021.

The open dining area next to the kitchen allows you to chat with your dinner guests while cooking and has a window with beautiful views on olive-trees, pomegranate trees, and the mountain.

From the dining area we go through an arch with sliding doors into the very large living-room/office space. This room has elegant wooden beams on the ceiling and a wood-burning stove to sit by on chilly winter nights. The space is versatile and can be separated or divided with walls to create more rooms if desired.

At the back of the living room there are built-in closets great for storage and a laundry room with adjoining half bath.

To reach the second floor we climb up a wooden staircase, where we are submerged in light by a ceiling window. From here we can enter the three bedrooms and bathroom. The bedroom at the back of the house is now used by the current owner as a dressing room but is big enough to fit a two person bed.

The master bedroom is very large, light and situated at the front of the house. This room has access to a large terrace through a newly placed double paned window door and offers stunning views to wake up with, or for stargazing in the evenings.

The third bedroom of the house is spacious enough for a twin size bed and can be connected to the terrace if you change the window of the room into a door.

The bathroom on this floor is spacious, inviting and light and fully equipped with a luxurious rain shower, bathtub, sink and toilet.

This unique house is perfect for a couple or a family looking to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature off of the beaten track, while still being at only a 10 min drive away from schools, shops, the doctor and the beautiful sunny beaches of Castell de ferro!
