Full Description


This beautiful property has been completely renovated by the current owners, and its new layout has been designed to enjoy plenty of light and space with a fine open plan living space, a study and bedrooms that enjoy the property’s spectacular views.
The accommodation has been finished to a very high standard throughout and has been thoroughly modernised and improved. The property is modern and elegant, yet very rustic in style. Accessed via the main traditional Spanish wooden front door, the property is all on one level. Upon entering, you are welcomed into the light and airy dining area with spectacular sea and mountain views, the spacious living/lounge area with feature wood burning fire offers plenty of seating space. Opposite of the lounge there is the made-to-measure high-quality kitchen, in traditional Spanish style, with wooden cupboards, a central island complete with a Franke 5 ring gas hob and a unique extractor fan that functions as a lamp as well. complete with a Franke 5 ring gas hob and a unique extractor fan that functions as a lamp as well. Additionally, there is an electric Hotpoint oven, a Franke sink and a large Samsung American fridge freezer.The worktops are the rare, beautiful and exotic Brazilian granite by Senza called ‘Orinoco’. The flooring throughout the property is ceramic tile in a rustic wood effect and the windows are all double-glazed Veka PVC, imported from Germany, with exception to the guest area, where the original wood frames were kept.
As you make your way to the bedroom areas, you pass through a spacious and relaxing study, with easterly views of the sea and mountains through large patio doors out onto the elevated terrace. The guest bedroom enjoys delightful views onto the terrace and the mountains. Next to the guest room is a bright and beautiful bathroom with sink, toilet and a walk-in shower. The master bedroom has north-facing windows and space for a large wardrobe and a chest of drawers. Alternatively, there is a side room directly adjacent to the master bedroom that could easily be utilised as a walk-in closet. The luxurious ensuite bathroom boasts two stone basins sitting on top of a granite surface, a large mirror, a sunken bath tub and a spacious walk-in shower.
There is a connecting door from the master bathroom to the music studio. The music studio comprises of a large main live room, laminate wood flooring, sound insulation and a spacious control room with southerly facing windows. The control room, complete with aircondition unit, boast two large windows into the live room and three windows to the exterior. The studio can also be accessed by its own separate entrance and was previously a self-contained annexe. It could easily be returned to a functioning annexe with kitchen, living room, bathroom and 1 bedroom. Alternatively, the studio could be used as a retreat space, a yoga room, a fitness studio, or an art & craft workshop.
The terrace is currently un-tiled, but has been raised and cemented. There is a rustic wooden fence surrounding the terrace and the current owners installed two olive trees, one ficus tree and a large three-pronged palm tree, all on timed irrigation.
At present, the bright and friendly stable contains four very spacious loose boxes that open up directly to the 20x40 sand arena. The loose boxes have cemented flooring and an automatic water feeder each. Rubber matting could be easily added. Inside the stable, the horses can stretch their heads through sturdy metal bars onto the generous hallway. Simply by exchanging these bars with four separate doors leading onto the hallway, one could transform the stable into an American barn. There is a lockable tack room with plenty of space for horse and riding equipment and a work bench. Opposite the loose boxes and next to the tack room is the hay barn, which provides room for 500+ hay bales that can be delivered directly to the hay barn’s separate gate. There is an additional wooden hard feed/storage container set up in the hallway. The arena measures approximately 20x40m and has three gates of different sizes. Located on a slope, it has been extended to its present size with the help of a masterfully built boulder wall, allowing for fantastic views on the surrounding mountains, the Finca and the sea. The entire stable area has electricity and water. There is an OCA licence in place for the keeping of up to 5 horses.
The land is one of the property’s most spectacular features and boasts lush mountain valleys, terraces and many plants, herbs, shrubs and trees including olive, fig, orange, pomegranate, pine, carob, chestnut, eucalyptus and almond trees, as well as blackberries, lavender, sage, rosemary and thyme. The land is perfect for hiking and other outdoor activities. It is also a haven for wildlife fiends. In spring, you can often admire herds of Spanish Ibex wandering across the mountains, see tortoises make their way between the rocks and bushes, or watch majestic eagles circle above the valleys. On top of that, it is possible to spot up to 150 specimens of birds in peak periods, which makes it a paradise for bird watchers.
The current owners let their four Spanish stallions out onto the land daily to graze, play and exercise. There are electric fence poles set up alongside one side of the land towards the quiet farmers village of El Campico. At present, the fence is not live but could easily be restored. A local internet supplier currently has a mast located on the land, providing the Finca with free internet. Imagine working from home in this stunning location and not having to pay for your internet!
