Finca/Country House for sale in Alora, Málaga

This substantial family home has changed greatly since I first saw it over 20 years ago. It has gone from being a pleasant, but ordinary Spanish home, to being a chic, modern property designed for easy living and comfort. It also now has a full AFO, meaning a mortgage is possible.

The house sits within a plot of 2600 m2, fully fenced and with wide entrance gates for easy access. It is flat land with a variety of established fruit trees and grape vines, with plenty of space to create a vegetable garden or keep chickens. The pool area is a delight, with space all around for sunbathing, as it enjoys all day sunshine. It also has a solar-powered shower and lighting for those midnight swims. Alongside the pool there is a covered terrace area with an outside kitchen, BBQ and utility area with a washing machine.

At the front of the house there is a lovely covered terrace, wonderful for relaxing in the evening and watching the sunset over the mountains. And above this, a full-width roof terrace reached by stairs from the garden gives even better views of the surrounding countryside.

The ground floor of the house is one beautifully arranged open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, with a second bathroom. The kitchen has an abundance of high-quality units with two built-in ovens and microwave, hob, refrigeration and a breakfast bar. The living area, with super-efficient pellet burner and aircon, is so flexible and offers endless possibilities to adapt to your style of living.

Stairs lead to the upper floor and hallway with three double and one single bedroom, and a bathroom with a full bath.

Outside and on the third side of the house we have the control system and three batteries for the 11-panel solar system, ensuring your energy bills are kept to a minimum.

The house has mains water and ample water for the fitted irrigation system, WiFi and mains electricity to support the solar when needed.

As an added bonus, the property has recently been repainted, so will not need attention for several years.

Situated just a 5-minute drive from the edge of town, the access is on a tarmac road and is always accessible. For the energetic among you, it is a brisk 15-minute walk to the main road and a bus service to Álora. Álora has all the amenities you would expect in vibrant small town, including 2 swimming pools, a sports centre, medical centre and a wide selection of bars and restaurants. We also have the enormous benefit of having a train link to Málaga and the airport.
