Introduction
Built in 2009, the property sits in a very private spot in the countryside with great views. The large swimming pool provides the owner with an entertainment and sunbathing area. The house benefits from most modern comforts such as double glazed windows, under floor heating, sun shutters and a large porch and veranda, providing shaded or sunny areas for alfresco dining. The surrounding native forest area is perfect for hiking and dog walking.
Layout
The main entrance to the property is under the porch area, through wide patio doors. On entrance, you are in the open plan kitchen and dining area, full of natural light, provided by the 3 large windows. Following through, we have the hallway leading to the master bedroom with en suite and patio doors leading back to the porch area. In the hallway you have the added bonus of a fully tiled utility room and w.c. Back in the open plan kitchen and dining area, there's a staircase leading up to the other bedroom, the other bathroom and a lounge or sitting room, which accesses the veranda through large patio doors.
Outside and extra plot
The entire property is low maintenance, completely surrounded by paved areas and small shrubbery. There are some olive trees and a number of established fruit trees. The added plot on this sale has a traditional two bedroom stone cottage, a barn in ruin, an annex, two wells and a stone threshing circle.
