A traditional detached village property for renovation.
The property is in the small Alpujarran village of El Golco situated on the side of a a valley below the larger village of Mecina Bombaron. The house is detached and has fantastic south facing views from the upper terrace.
The entrance is by a traditional wooden door into the ground floor entrance hall. The rooms on the ground floor are currently mainly used for storage with also a bodega and stable with seperate entrances to both. A central staircase rises to the first floor.
At the top of the stairs on the first floor there
is a passage way, left from here is a bedroom with a staircase leading
up to the second floor. Right from the top of the stairs you will
come into what were the main living quarters of the house.This spacious
open plan room with large french windows that look out onto the
village is a lovely and unusual feature of the house. There is a
traditional built in display cabinet, still in good condition, and
just off this room you will find the old traditional kitchen with
a hugefireplace and the original built in shelves.
Off the main living room there are two good sized
bedrooms also in fairly good condition considering the age of the
property.
From the first bedroom to the left of the staircase
you will find the second set of stairs up to the second floor, this
takes you up to the "azotea" the open air terrace where
they would hang the peppers, grapes etc to dry and store the almonds
and grain. The azotea is the full width and length of the property
and features the most incredible views accross the valley towards
the Sierra de la Contraviesa and the Sierra de Gador mountains.
This sheltered terrace would make a beautiful, habitable second
floor, all that is needed is a little thought and imagination!
It
is evident that this beautiful rustic house was once a much loved,
bustling family home, now it stands empty waiting for the next family
to come along and fill it again!
Close
by in the neighbouring village of Mecina Bombaron you will find
all local amenities e.g shops, bars, restaurants, school, doctors
etc..
Both
Granada and Almeria airport can be reached in around 1 hr 30 mins.
