Separate from the house, you will find car ports for two vehicles and a huge detached garage.
This cortijo (farmhouse) is brimming with character throughout. A large covered porch greets you upon arrival and there are magnificent country views across the Mizala valley.

Almeria airport is a 40 minute drive & the city centre is 50 minutes from the property.
Immediately surrounding the house are various established & low maintenance garden areas, filled with indigenous plants and fauna. The stepped stone wall garden to the rear of the house is delightful whilst on the lower area of the land is the orchard with various fruit trees, including orange, lemon, lime, mulberry, pomegranates and grape vines, plus a large number of olive groves.
Entering the house from the covered porch brings you into a central living room with wooden beams, feature archways and a log burning stove at one end. Immediately ahead is an arch through to the generous kitchen, traditionally styled yet with all modern appliances & units. To the right an archway leads to a charming & cosy dining area with steps from here down to the mezzanine snug or reading area. Next to the dining area is a double bedroom with en-suite shower room.
At the opposite end of the living room there is a central square hall. From here there is a spacious office room, modern shower room and enormous double bedroom with patio doors leading outside. A staircase leads upstairs to the huge master suite which is simply fantastic. Wooden beams adorn the sloping ceiling and there are low level windows and traditional fitted wardrobes. The en-suite bathroom is enormous and there is also a door out to a roof terrace from here.
Overall, this is a charming & spacious country home on a plot of over 13,000m² with a detached garage & excellent views. The property is sold with an additional plot of 13 hectares including ruins, a well & a reservoir.
