This comfortable country home of 260m2 is a well built, stylish property situated along a 2Km track and is just 4.6Kms from the town (13 minutes in the car). There are electric gates operated by remote control leading into a parking area for 2 cars under the cool shade of the trees.
The area immediately around the house is flat, with paved terraces all around it. At the far end is a lovely terraced garden with an 8 x 4m pool and a covered terrace at the far end. There is a pump room for the pool and a useful pool shed which is ideal as an outside kitchenette area for storage of food and cold drinks for outdoor dining/barbecues.
The house has two fabulous roof terraces. The first, at the far end, is
8.25 x 5m, with steps from the rear of the property. The second is a spacious 11.5 x 6.5m with breathtaking, all round views - the ideal terrace for watching the stars and for a telescope to observe the planets as there is no light pollution whatsover in this very special location.
This terrace is accessed via steps from the pool terrace area, with a useful outdoor WC underneath (2 x 0.8m). The steps lead first to a smaller terrace area overlooking the pool with a door to one of the upstairs bedrooms and a useful store area, and then continue up to the main roof terrace.
The front door leads into a very spacious living/dining area (9.25 x 4.5m) with large picture windows over the impressive views and a woodburner set within a wall of white shelving. To the left, is the beautiful kitchen 5 x 5m with fully fitted units and appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a very useful utility, laundry and store room of 5 x 3m. A corridor accessed from the living room leads to a stairwell, and beyond, a downstairs bedroom
(5 x 4.5m) with patio doors to the pool area and a beautiful en-suite bathroom (2.5 x 2m). At the end of the corridor is a door to the pool area.
The stairs lead up to a landing/corridor. Here there are two identical bedrooms (each 4 x 4.5m including a beautifully finished en-suite shower rooms), a door out onto the smaller roof terrace, and a large bedroom/studio of around 21m2, with plumbing for an en-suite bathroom (just needs the walls and bathroom suite installing). All three upstairs bedrooms have long, elegant balconies over the views.
There is a separate store room accessed from the side terrace for storing outdoor furniture etc. The property has mains electricity and its own very pure well water, tested and certified for drinking, with a large water storage deposit. There is also rain water collection via guttering into a huge storage deposit under the car park, ideal for topping up the pool and irrigating any plants.
The land is very steep but there is an area just next to the pool terrace that would make a lovely additional garden area, should anyone wish to create a planted garden. It is currently planted with almond trees and indigenous bushes and trees.
This beautiful property is ideal for anyone wishing to enjoy a country home in the mountains, be it for holidays or a retirement or permanent home, within 15 minutes of a very good country town with excellent facilities and within 50 minutes of Malaga and the coast. It would also work extremely well as a holiday let or even as a B and B.

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.
