A mountain cortijo with spectacular views to the south and the Mediterranean.

This ranch style cortijo is along a 3 km track up into the Sierra Nevada Parque Natural from the road between Yegen and Valor.

The property is south facing and most of the rooms enjoy stunning views. The front of the property has a vine shaded terrace running along the front of the property for sitting and dining or just relaxing with the benefit of the wonderful view.

Entry into the property is into the main lounge area which has a large open fireplace and a woodburning stove for extra warmth. The kitchen is through a archway from the lounge diner which is fitted with base units, sink and drainer and a freestanding cooker, fridge freezer. There is also a walk in pantry.

To the other side of the lounge a doorway leads through into a bedroom and then into a massive bathroom which has a full size bath, shower, toilet and basin. There is also a wall full of open storage cupboards perfect for the extra storage that we all need.

Returning to the lounge two steps rise through an archway to the rear of the property, to the left is a twin bedded room with a door giving access to the side patio (this room could be used as a rental bedroom because of the seperate access) there is  a second bathroom and a further double bedroom.

There have been new doors and windows installed throughout.

Outside there is a BarBQ dining area with built in BarBQ with a small pluge pool requiring a little work .To the rear of the property is a massive legal water storage tank, which would be perfect for a natural swimming pool and as permission for pools in the park is impossible this is a huge bonus to any buyer with a swimming pool on their wish list.

The property has 1.8 hectares of land distributed over 10 terraces, the terracing system in the area was instigated by the moors and many of these date back to moorish times. There is an abundance of fruit trees on the land including, Mulberries, Almonds, Chestnuts, Apples, Pears, Cherries and grape vines.

The cortijo has an abundance of water from the mountain acequia system and the property receives 28 hours of water.

Electricity is provided by a recently professionally installed solar power system and with a 1500w generator for back up. There is also a 400w wind turbine providing even more power.

This farmhouse is perfect for anyone wanting a home in the Sierra Nevada parque in the Alpujarras. It would be possible to live a self sufficient lifestyle here, but it would not be too far to get to shops, bars and restaurants etc as the villages of Valor and Yegen are just a few minutes drive away.

The airports of Almeria and Granada are approx a 90 minutes drive.
