This delightful, original country cortijo with land is around 160m2 and is in very good condition. A few simple changes to bring it up to date with modern expectations (for example, the addition of a second bathroom upstairs) would be easy to achieve and inexpensive. The house is actually attached on one side to another, although this is very difficult to see, and that part is totally hidden. The house also has a garage. It has 8000m2 of land that is urban, meaning that it may be possible to build more.

A large covered terrace area (9 x 3m) provides shade from the sun and offers a perfect outdoor living space. From here, the front door leads into the entrance hall, also used as a dining room (4.25 x 3.2m) with a small door to one side leading to a store area under the stairs.

To the left of this room is bedroom 1, (4 x 3.2m) with amazingly thick walls and window to the side. And to the right is the bathroom, a very pleasant and light room, 3 x 2.25m, with a bath and pretty painted tiling.

Also to the right is the kitchen, which is fully fitted, 3 x 3.2m, with lovely windows overlooking the olive groves.

The stairs lead up to the upper floor, where there are three further bedrooms. Bedroom 2 is 3.2 x 9m, a very large room with two sets of long, traditional country cottage wooden windows painted white, offering lovely views, and a beamed ceiling. Bedroom 3 is 4 x 3.5m plus a curtained wardrobe area. Bedroom 4 is 3.5 x 3.4m and has a door to a wardrobe. From the upstairs landing there are lovely lake AND sea views from the window.

Outside is a barbeque area and also an outdoor bathroom. There are pretty gardens with a huge variety of fruit trees and flowering plants. A round paved area is the perfect place to put an above ground pool, and now the huge range of extremely beautiful and efficient above ground pools make this a very interesting option.

Beyond the lovely gardens is a huge orchard, mainly planted with productive olive trees (around 100 trees, some several hundred years old) and the current owners are members of the local olive mill co-operative. There are also apricot, trees, nisperos, walnut, apple and almond trees. From this lovely property it is possible to walk through delightful open countryside for many Kms, and to the banks of the lake and a restaurant. There is a natural spring just a stroll away, too.

The village of Periana is within a 5 minute drive, as is Venta Baja and Puente Don Manuel areas, where there are shops, and many bars and restaurants. The coast is within a 30 minute drive.
