This superb property can be accessed from the village that is around 6kms away of which 3.5Kms is part paved and part dirt track. Once there, the mountain scenery is beautiful and natural but not isolated as there are a few similar country houses dotted around, meaning there are neighbours reasonably nearby.
A gated driveway (electric gates controlled with a remote control) leads to a large gravel parking area for several cars, including a covered area, plus two storage sheds to the rear of the house. Here a short walk around the side of the house leads to the main gardens planted with many mature plants and trees, including fruit trees, along with two raised vegetable beds and flowering bushes surrounding the plot, over which one can contemplate the beautiful views of the countryside.
The trees include many olive trees, 2 juicy navel orange trees, a peach tree and a paraguayo peach, as well as apricot, nectarine, mandarin, lemon, lime, pomegranate, loquat, 2 bay trees and 3 grape vines and not forgetting a Kaffir lime tree and lemon grass for those Thai curries.
A covered dining terrace with outdoor kitchen and barbecue sits under the pergola with flowering jasmine, making summer evenings unforgettable with the beautiful views of the mountain ranges always present. This terrace is located next to the magnificent swim spa.
This latest technology spa includes a main pool with a current generating machine, with 6 settings, to allow an easier or a stronger current for swimming against the current. The pool is 125cm deep and has a fountain and colour-changing lights. The Jacuzzi is located next to the swimspa area and has seating for two plus a bed, hence with a capacity for 3 persons. Both the swim spa and the Jacuzzi areas are individually heatable. This installation currently retails at around 35,000 EUR. There is decking installed around the swim spa.
The house, around 115m2, faces the views and the gardens and pool. There is open, paved terracing to the front with patio doors from the house. A door leads into the front porch area, (2 x 4m) which has glass doors that open out fully, allowing this area to be open in the summer and closed in the winter. In winter, this area is the perfect place for an afternoon snooze or for reading on the comfortable sofa.
From here a door leads into the living/dining room area (6.3 x 4m) with a woodburner fireplace for cosy winter evenings, hot/cold air conditioning, and plenty of light from the windows. At the far end is a store room/hallway (2 x 1.7m) which is actually where the front door is located, leading out to the car parking area. This area is also the location of the batteries used to store electricity collected from the photo voltaic solar panels.
To the right of the living room is the lovely, bright, fully fitted kitchen
(3 x 3.2m) with a window to the South/gardens/pool. Also to the right is a short corridor that leads to the family bathroom (2.6 x 1.7m), two double guest bedrooms (3.2 x 2.65m and 3.7 x 3.2m), and, at the far end, the master bedroom, (5.5 x 3.2m) with hot/cold air conditioning and double doors out to the paved open patio area outside, plus en-suite bathroom (2.1 x 2.65m).
This lovely house has many special features. It has oil-fired under floor heating in all rooms, solar heated water with both electric and oil backup, and photovoltaic solar panels that generate electricity, saving money on electricity bills. The photovoltaic system could be updated as technology is moving forward at a fast rate, and could include heating the swim spa, saving on electricity for the swim spa too.
The house has hot/cold air conditioning in the main bedroom (new machine) and has ceiling fans in all rooms. There is also a grey water tank (needs some basic repairs) which would allow used water to be recycled on the garden. There are also two water tanks providing storage of 3000L of water.
It has a licence of first occupation, meaning that it is a 100% legal house. It could be used as a holiday home as well as being let to tourists or would be ideal as a permanent home for someone looking for a new way of life.

Buying a Property in Spain
1. Putting down a Holding Deposit
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner. This part of the process is not binding. We would recommend using an independent English speaking legal advisor. Once a purchase price has been agreed, normally a holding or reserve deposit will be required to ensure the property is removed from the market. The sum required will vary between properties and will be based on the purchase price. A time limit for the preagreement to be signed will be arranged and there will also be legal checks to be made.
2. Setting up a Pre-agreement (Contrato privado de compraventa)
The pre-agreement will set out the conditions under which the Buyer and Seller agree to complete the purchase of the property and the price they have agreed upon. Relevant details will generally be included for example the property details, purchase price and the date for completion. A deposit will be required at this point, this will vary, but will generally be 10% of the agreed price. This agreement will include a penal clause if the sale does not go through. If the seller pulls out of the sale your compensation will be double the deposit you have paid, but if you decide not to go through with the sale then your deposit will be lost. Certain checks will need to be made before signing the contract, checks should be made against the title of the property, mortgage status and if the property has any debts held against it. The planning status should also be looked into. These conditions can be varied by the seller and the buyer and other types of agreement can be made.
3. The Contract (Escritura de compraventa)
Before a non-Spanish purchaser can buy a Spanish property they will need to have set up a Spanish bank account and obtained a Spanish tax number (NIE). The completion will take place in the presence of a Notary Public. This is a Spanish public official, by law the deed of sale must be witnessed by a Notary Public. You will also need your own independent, expert legal advisor to act on your behalf. On Completion the buyer must pay the balance, that is the price agreed after the deposit has been deducted, plus any other fees on the completion date. Both buyer and seller must sign the Escritura de compraventa contract, (this is the Spanish equivalent of the title deeds). The title deeds (escritura) will be given to the buyer, this will be done in the presence of a Notary Public, they will certify that the transfer has taken place. The tax office will be sent a copy and the property registry will be informed of the transfer.
