Good value house set in beautiful countryside, in a traditional village

Full Description: This is a unique opportunity to buy a perfectly renovated and beautifully maintained house set in a very traditional white-washed Alpujarran village. The village of Olias is extremely peaceful and tranquil, and has stunning views of the sea, the Sierra Lujar, and the Sierra Contravesia. It is a small village with 8 or 9 inhabitants and is set in a beautiful countryside location which receives warm breezes from the sea. It is a rare opportunity to be able to purchase such a house, as most are usually passed down through the family generations and are rarely available for sale.

The house has been renovated to an extremely high standard, and is well-decorated and easy to maintain. It has beautifully plastered walls throughout, lovely tiled floors, and new wooden ceilings with beams that are attractive and also provide good insulation. The house is imaginatively designed and is ready to live in. It would be perfect as a weekend retreat, a place to pursue artistic work in peace and tranquility, or as a house for a couple wanting to experience life in traditional Spain. The village is 20mins drive to Rubite, and 30mins to the busier towns of Motril and Orgiva.

The house is entered by a few steps up from the street. The huge old wooden double-doors are very striking and provides excellent security. The doors lead into a stone courtyard which is a very attractive and peaceful spot, with a fountain and several plants. The main building is to the left and opens into a lounge/dining room/kitchen. There is a lovely fireplace in the lounge, and although the area is relatively compact there is space for seating, TV, table, etc. The kitchen is quite small with a 2-ring hob and single sink, but there is adequate space for fridge, washing machine, dishwasher etc, and connections and plumbing have been provided for these.

From this floor there are stairs to a small bathroom with shower, sink, and wc. A single bed has been placed above the bathroom, reached by a ladder. The stairs continue up to a landing and a small double bedroom with lovely views of the local church and surrounding hillsides. Past this room is the master bedroom which has more views to the hills of the Sierra Contravesia and down to the sea.

There is a second building with this property, on the other side of the courtyard, measuring 6x2.5m that would be perfect as a spare bedroom, office, art studio, etc. It is beautifully decorated, and has a lovely fireplace.

The house has a good signal for TV, mobile phone, and radio telephone. It has electricity and water, with the water coming direct from a mine. This is therefore a low-cost house to run with no water bills, and low taxes. There is no boiler at the property, but there are facilities to connect a water heater. Parking is available close to the house, on the local threshing circle. Some items of furniture may be included in the house sale, with others possibly available for purchase; please discuss with the owner.

The owner informs us the price is negotiable.
