Apartment for sale in Zurgena, Almería

Duplex Andalucia is a larger-than-usual, three-bed, two-bath duplex / modern townhouse in an impressively maintained gated community. The property measures 127 m² and has a sun terrace, secure communal swimming pool and children's pool, underground garage space and a lockable storage room. It is for sale in the charming, still-Spanish village of Zurgena, within walking distance of a supermarket, cafés and bars, doctors, a chemist and the Friday street market.

There is a 15-minute drive to Huércal-Overa, with numerous shops, supermarkets, cafés and bars, restaurants, sports and leisure facilities, parks, a hospital and street markets. The coast at Mojácar, Vera and Garrucha is 25 minutes away by car. Almería and Murcia airports are one hour away, while Alicante Airport is approximately one hour and 45 minutes away.

These properties were built to a high standard and designed to be large enough to be lived in full time, while also making an excellent holiday home or first step onto the Spanish property ladder.

The furniture is also for sale, and the communal swimming pool is a real bonus. The property has excellent long-term rental potential.

The duplex is part of a development of just over 20 similar properties. Some are lived in, while others are used as owners' holiday homes. There is a president who looks after the community, and the community charge is €50, which pays for cleaning the pool, communal areas and garage.

Duplex Andalucia is particularly interesting as it overlooks the walled and gated communal pool area, which is safer for children. A recently fitted safety fence has been installed. You literally open your front door and the communal pool area is directly in front of you. The pool area can be seen from the kitchen, first-floor bedroom and sun terrace. There is plenty of room around the pool for sunbathing.
