4 Bed Cortijo for sale
Taberno, Almeria, Andalucia, Spain
Full Description
This wonderful cortijo (farmhouse) is absolutely brimming with character and rustic features. The views are simply spectacular with open country views as far as the eye can see with Mojacar Pueblo, the Sierra Cabrera mountain range and the Mediterranean Sea all visible in the distance. This property sits on the edge of a small hamlet in the Taberno area.
Arriving at the property you will find parking for 3 cars and a sweeping driveway around to the side of the house. From here an archway leads to the huge courtyard with large steps up to a roof terrace area. There is also a storeroom here. Entering the house from here brings you into the most modern room in the property; a secondary living/dining room with full length patio windows to take advantage of the incredible far-reaching views. From here you continue into the Andalusian-style kitchen with separate larder. From here a hallway with wooden steps lead up to the studio room which would be ideal for any artist! From the hallway there is also a door into the wonderful bathroom with a separate walk-in shower on one side and bath on the other.
The hallway finishes upon entry into the main living room. A log burning stove and various artisan features give the room a very welcoming and authentic feel with inset shelving and a huge terracotta urn (previously used for storing olive oil) a real feature in the corner of the room. An archway in the centre of the room leads to two equal-sized double bedrooms either side of a central hallway. At the end of the hallway the door opens to a large covered fly-free terrace area, again with exceptional views, and there is a low maintenance garden area to the front of the house too.
Returning inside, a staircase from the living room leads upstairs to the landing and a large storage area. There are two further bedrooms on this floor. The first is a sizeable double bedroom with parquet wooden flooring and exposed beams. The second bedroom is enormous, spanning the length of the house, with a built-in bookcase at one end of the room and a roof terrace at the other end to appreciate those wonderful views again.
The property is a few minutes drive from Santopetar; a typical sleepy Andalusian village with a friendly welcome and 3 bar/restaurants. Taberno is a few minutes away where there are many shops, bars and daily amenities. The nearby town of Huercal Overa (approx. 12 minute drive) offers a state of the art hospital, many large shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and is one of the larger towns in this area of Almeria. The property is approximately 40 minutes from the soft sandy beaches of San Juan & Aguilas.
Summing up, this is a simply superb character property with some of the best views you will find in the entire area!
