Driving through the village of El Pinar you can get your first glimpse of the villa set high above the road with its gardens stepping down below it. If you do not get this glimpse then you may not believe what lies behind the whitewashed walls as you arrive at the entrance of the property.



Stepping through the arched wooden door you enter a large courtyard which still does not reveal that there is an incredible 194m² build to this home.



The courtyard is shielded from the sun in the morning making it an ideal place to take breakfast on the hotter Andalucía mornings. As the sun moves over the house it can be an ideal and very private spot for sunbathing, and then later in the day as the sun goes down, a super BBQ entertaining al fresco dining room.



Internally the villa comprises a generous sized living room with patio doors to two aspects. One is to an east facing terrace that takes some of the stunning views, and the other is to the west and the aforementioned courtyard.



The living room is a bright and airy room benefitting a log burning stove for the winter months and air conditioning for the hotter ones.



Moving through an archway you arrive at an equally bright and inviting dining room. The dining room also has patio doors to two aspects; one to the east facing terrace and the other to a pergola covered external dining area.



Moving further south through the property, off the dining room you find the fully fitted kitchen with black granite work tops, extensive storage cupboards and again windows to two aspects making it a light and comfortable workspace.



To the north side of the property, accessed from the living room, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms.



The first bedroom is the east facing master with a private terrace and en suite bathroom. The air conditioned bedroom has plentiful storage with built in wardrobes, one of which is of a “walk-in” design. The lavish sized en suite bathroom has a glass block screened walk-in shower, basin and toilet.



A central hallway with additional storage cupboards gives access to the two other double bedrooms and the family bathroom.



Both of the bedrooms have built in wardrobes and a terrace overlooking another courtyard although this one has raised planted beds with mature trees.



The family bathroom has a bath with shower over, twin basins and toilet.



Moving to the outside of the property from the kitchen, there is a utility area to the left and a staircase leading up to the solarium that is the footprint of the bedrooms and bathrooms. Although the current owners of the property do not use this space it could be developed for further relaxing, sun bathing or dining areas, or even the addition of a hot tub.



Externally to the other side of the property there is the L shaped terrace that wraps around the living and dining rooms and below this the tiered mature planted Mediterranean themed gardens.



At the bottom of the walled gardens there is a second plot of land that is included in the sale. This plot was purchased by the current owners as an “insurance policy” so that no one could build in front of their property which would have taken away some of the views.



Beneath part of the property there is a good sized under build that could be utilised as a work shop or storeroom and alongside this a smaller section of under build used as a log store.



The final piece of the external jigsaw is the car port and parking for several cars at the entrance level of the 1,240m² plot.



The villa is a full time home for the current owners and has been maintained to a very high standard. It benefits gas powered central heating, mosquito screens, external louver doors to most patio doors and the furniture is negotiable.



El Pinar has a bar & restaurant in the village with the possibility of more services to come in the future although the timescale is not predictable. A short drive from the village is the larger village of Los Gallardos where you will find amenities including banks, chemist, doctor, supermarkets, bars & restaurants and within approximately a 15 minute drive you can be on the beaches of Mojácar or Garrucha.



Airport transfers are easy with the proximity of the A7/E15 motorway access at Los Gallardos making drive time to Almería 50 minutes, Murcia 80 minutes and Alicante 2 hours.
