Located in the Eastern Costa del Sol, just over half an hour's drive from Malaga city, in the beautiful area of La Axarqua, known for its outstanding, unspoilt beauty. Just 7 minutes' drive from the coast, 15 minutes to the mountains and 10 minutes from impressive Lake Viuela. The main town is under 3 Kms away - the historic, ancient town of Velez-Malaga, with a population of around 70,000.
This is a unique, fascinating and historic mansion, belonging to one of the main, local land owning families in Malaga province, set in extensive grounds and surrounded by a huge, organic avocado farm. This is a unique and special opportunity to own a true piece of history on the Andalusian coast.
Grounds:
Set in private, gated grounds of 9,500m2, the property is approached via a private driveway (through electric, remote control operated gates), to two large parking areas: the first on a lower level, to access the triple garage, (with electric, remote control door), lower floor and kitchen; the second, the main car park area, sufficient for many cars, including 6 under the covered terrace.
From here are access to the grounds on all sides, including a fruit orchard planted with mango trees (this is a tropical valley with an excellent, all year round micro climate that is second to none). A wide sweep of steps from the main car park leads up to a fenced and gated tennis court (the tennis court would benefit from resurfacing) and pretty, built-in seating around the court gives an air of bygone times.
Beyond the tennis court, another gate leads into the 'secret garden', hidden away and surrounded by mature cypress trees, and laid mainly to lawn. This beautiful, secluded garden is known as the Jardines Rosaleda and includes a helipad in the centre, at the moment surrounded by shrubs and bushes.
These gardens are fully fenced, although the plot goes beyond, down a steep bank, with lovely views over the town of Velez-Malaga, around 2/3 Kms away. A path leads around the gardens, past further built-in seating, and down in a circle, back to the car park.
The house is entirely surrounded by gardens on all sides, mainly laid to lawn, including the beautiful pool area, and is not overlooked from any angle.
Full details of the house are available on request.
Pool Area:The pool is a generous size and has some wonderful features, including two fountains, a massage bed and back and foot massage seat. It has walk-in steps and is tiled with white pool tiles to give a Caribbean, light blue effect to the water.
Next to the pool is the covered terrace, with access to the bar and recreation rooms. And adjacent to this area is the large open barbecue area. In the far corner of the pool area is an outside bathroom with wash basin, double shower unit and separate WC.

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.
