Extensively and thoughtfully renovated, the property showcases a blend of traditional and contemporary design, set up to serve as a comfortable family home, a holiday retreat, or a lucrative rental property. The owner intends to include several larger pieces of furniture in the sale, such as outdoor and pool furniture, all of superior quality. Named 'Casa En La Colina', it resides in a small hamlet as the final property among twelve. Access to the house is through a private gate leading to a parking patio and a sloping driveway down to its garage, equipped with ample storage and electricity. Behind and to the left of the storage area, there's a wood store and space for gardening tools, along with the pool pump and saltwater chlorination system, each with separate entrances for convenience. Adjacent to the garage, an outer entrance with double gates offers access to the broader grounds for maintenance. The property flaunts numerous private seating areas, all illuminated with exterior lighting, including a Casita that contains an outdoor kitchen, sink, water, and electricity supply, ideal for relishing the scenic views of the rolling hills while relaxing or entertaining guests. The main patio features a stunning 10m x 5m in-ground saltwater pool, surrounded by an expansive terraced area, perfect for sunbathing, relaxation, or exercise. A pool-side shower room with a WC and a separate storage space for loungers are also available. This terrace provides a 360-degree panoramic view of the breathtaking countryside. Additionally, there are fruit trees (Fig, Cherry, Pear, and Apple) and raised planting beds on the grounds. Overlooking the pool area is a raised terrace for alfresco dining and entertainment, sheltered by a wooden gazebo. From this terrace, there's access to a lower private seating area with colorful flower pots, leading to the grounds and trees. This lower terrace also provides access to the laundry drying area, water softener storage, and a path to a bus stop. Entering Casa En La Colina, you're welcomed by a stunning open-plan, fully air-conditioned lounge featuring a large brick-built fireplace with a log burner. The original architectural design of the house remains evident with high beamed ceilings and tasteful floor tiles throughout. Adjacent to the lounge is a spacious dining area accommodating eight people. Both spaces are well-lit with a mix of central and wall lighting, featuring high-end glass fittings. This area leads to a large, fully equipped modern kitchen with full air conditioning, high ceilings, modern appliances, custom-made cupboards, and striking black marble countertops. An adjoining door leads to a functional utility room equipped with various appliances and storage, along with a separate WC and hand wash sink. A tiled stairway leads to the lower floor and a large square hallway with beamed ceilings, a wall-mounted oil-filled radiator, some under stair storage, and access to a sunny rear patio and laundry drying area. The four bedrooms branch off from this hallway: Bedroom 1 is a double bedroom with a fitted wardrobe, wall-mounted oil-filled radiator, wall lights, and a ceiling fan/light. Bedroom 2 is a double bedroom (currently set up as a twin) with a fitted wardrobe, wall-mounted oil-filled radiator, wall lights, and a ceiling fan/light. Between these two bedrooms is a family shower room, tiled and modern. Bedroom 3 serves as a single bedroom/office (currently arranged as a single but adaptable to a double), adorned with original beamed ceilings, a wardrobe, chest of drawers, and a ceiling light. Bedroom 4 is the Master Suite, featuring a beautiful traditional beamed ceiling, full air conditioning, a fitted wardrobe, chest of drawers, wall lights, a ceiling light, and a modern ensuite with a spacious walk-in shower. All windows are double-glazed and equipped with fly screens for comfort against insects during summer. Lower floor windows and the large lounge window have stylish security grills ('rejas') for enhanced security and lowered insurance costs. Additionally, the main windows have outside roller blinds/shutters ('persianas') for added security and comfort during winter without obstructing the scenic views. The house is fully functional and elegantly decorated, with all furniture and fittings tastefully selected. It's move-in ready and suitable as a family home, holiday home, or a profitable long/short-term rental property.

We gave her our list of requirements and let her recommend properties to view. We were not disappointed with what she showed us. Fantastic villas with stunning views and within our price range. We were staying in Vera Playa and Andrea picked us up and drove us around, which we are very grateful for. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She even arranged an appointment with Almeria Document Direct to discuss visas, residency etc. Andrea helped us to make a deal with the vendors (who are absolutely brilliant) on the purchase of the villa and this morning she has arranged for us to sign contracts at the Notaria in Vera. I can only speak as a purchaser...Andrea is superb. She listens, spends plenty of time to explain the processes and is super knowledgeable about the area. I can imagine that she is equally expert when it comes to selling properties. So long story short, if you are thinking of buying or selling in the area please contact Andrea and her team, you won't be disappointed. We are now looking forward to a new chapter in our lives knowing that we can always ask Andrea for any help we might need. Thanks again for finding our dream home". Andy and Karen 2023
