Finca/Country House for sale in Albox, Almería

Nestled in the tranquil Oria area, this country house exudes charm and character, offering a serene retreat surrounded by breathtaking mountain views. This semi-detached property boasts five bedrooms, providing ample space for family living or as a holiday escape. With a floor area of approx. 140 m² and set on a generous plot of approx. 2,800 m², the property offers plenty of space to enjoy the idyllic countryside setting.

The land surrounding the property is a veritable orchard, adorned with an array of fruit trees including pear, pomegranate, olive, apricot, plum, quince, fig, apple, orange, lemon, grapes, and more. Ideal for gardening enthusiasts, the fertile land is perfect for planting vegetables and additional trees. Mains water is connected, supplemented by the option to purchase shares in agricultural water as it passes through the land. The majority of the land benefits from irrigation, ensuring lush gardens and fruitful harvests.

Electricity is provided via solar power, with four solar panels, 12 batteries, and a backup generator ensuring a reliable power supply. Additionally, mains electricity can be connected, as it previously serviced the property. You could also install more solar panels to have a more powerful system but this would depend on your requirements. The system currently provides 5kw.

The outdoor space features a large storage room / workshop, ideal for DIY projects or storage needs. A driveway with parking for several cars provides convenient access to the property. A mobile home located by the driveway offers additional storage space or you could restore it to use for guests.

The property also includes an outbuilding, originally used for animals, which could be renovated or rebuilt to create additional living space or an apartment.

Elevated above the land, the property boasts impressive views of the surrounding landscape. Outside, a lovely terrace at the front of the house offers panoramic views and is shaded by a wooden pergola, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. At the rear of the property, a spacious terrace laid with concrete offers ample seating space, with two caves waiting to be renovated into additional rooms. A utility room outside houses the washing machine and offers storage space. Behind this area there is a garden.

Inside, the property features an entrance hall leading to a living room with a ceiling fan and a large bedroom, which was initially intended as the kitchen. The spacious kitchen-diner, complete with a wood burner, is fully equipped and offers a rustic yet functional space for cooking and dining. A shower room with a large walk-in shower and LED lighting completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, a hallway leads to three / four generously sized bedrooms, two of which have plumbing for en-suite bathrooms. An additional room, currently used for fitness and yoga, could serve as an extra bedroom or office space. This room opens onto a small terrace, with plans for a larger roof terrace which couldn't be completed due to personal circumstances.

While currently on a soakaway system, plans for a new septic tank were underway but the seller was unable to finish it. It would be easy to finish so this isn't something to worry about.

Conveniently located just a 4-minute drive (2kms) from a local bar-restaurant, the property is within easy reach of Oria town (10-12 minutes - 9.4kms) and Albox town (10-15 minutes - 11kms), offering a full range of amenities. Coastal resorts are just 45 minutes away, while the nearest airport is just over an hour's drive.
