A top quality, luxury country villa just outside the lake-view village of Los Romanes, on a beautiful plot, with easy access and magnificent views.

This property has been lovingly designed, built (legally), and enjoyed by the current owners from the start. The design is top class, and the results are stunning. A beautiful home, now for sale for someone very lucky!

Location
Casa Garupa is situated just outside the picturesque village of Los Romanes, (5 to 10 minutes’ walk) in the quiet, peaceful countryside. There are neighbours on one side, but it is secluded from the neighbours and there is no noise.
Los Romanes is a small village, but with good facilities, overlooking magnificent Lake Viñuela and Mount Maroma, in the municipality of Viñuela, and it is located around 20/25 minutes from the coast at Torre del Mar.

The Plot
The plot was recently remeasured, at 6157m2. The house, surrounded by gardens, pool terrace and a large parking area, is on flat land, and beyond, the land gently falls away into a lush valley. The land is walkable, down to the bottom, but the area around the house is what is used mostly, and is fully fenced. The views due South are magnificent, with the hills to either side framing the valley, with the mountain village of Comares perched on top of a mountain in the background and some interesting rocky outcrops.

The House
The villa is on two levels. From the beautiful driveway and parking area, is access to a double garage, 37m2, which also houses the heat pump for the under floor heating. There is also a side door leading into the front courtyard.

An impressive entrance leads into the beautiful front open courtyard (with double doors to the living room, side door to the garage and door into the kitchen). Upon walking into this lovely courtyard, one knows immediately that what lies within will be top quality and well-designed.

The kitchen (15m2) is modern and stylish, fitted with quality units and appliances and a central worktop island with storage underneath. This lovely room is open plan with the large dining room beyond (17m2) with glass double doors leading outside to the terrace. To the left of the dining room, once again open plan, one is lead into the very spacious living room (45m2) with double patio doors out to the terrace, and double wooden doors back out to the courtyard. This room has a woodburner for the Winter and round-ended section with windows overlooking the beautiful views.

The terrace on this level runs the entire length of the house (36m2) with those stunning views ever present. Beyond is an open side terrace (24m2) with built-in barbecue, which leads back around to the front of the house, next to the garage.

A door at the far end of the living room leads to a landing, with a WC off to one side, and stairs leading down to the lower floor.

Downstairs is a corridor, with large windows, leading to the lower terrace, via a covered area with an awning that drops right to the ground forming a wall, with a separate door, such that this area can be used as an additional bedroom if required. From here, normally used as a covered outdoor living area, we can walk onto the lower covered terrace, below the top terrace (66m2 in total) once again with the beautiful views, a pool table, with lighting above and plenty of space to fully enjoy the outdoor lifestyle of this little corner of Europe. There is a complete outside bathroom accessible from this terrace too, with walk-in shower, perfect for use when using the swimming pool. Also on this terrace is a jacuzzi spa, overlooking the pool below.

Back inside, the corridor leads to three stunning bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, and two of the rooms with their own entrance corridor. Each room is top quality and one immediately feels as if this were a five star hotel! Bedroom 3 has a wonderful, round spa bath to add a true touch of luxury. The bedroom/bathroom sizes are 15 plus 6.6m2, 13 plus 3.6m2 and 21 plus 7.4m2.

Outside, a few steps down leads to the pool terrace and the magnificent 10.5 x 5m pool.

Below the pool, a few steps down lead to the huge storage area around the under side of the pool terrace and the path continues down and around to a lower garden area (until recently used to keep a few free range chickens). From here, a gate leads through the fencing and the path leads down into the valley below.

This top quality, spacious, luxury villa enjoys under floor heating throughout, mainly heated via solar panels, together with a heat pump, a quality water softener, and ducted air conditioning throughout. The building has foam-filled cavity walls offering excellent insulation, keeping the house warm and cosy in Winter and cool in the Summer.

Other benefits are a security system, automatic gates and garage door, wifi, satelite TV. The property has mains electricity and water and it is fully registered and sold furnished.
