Finca/Country House for sale in Alora, Málaga

Reduced by 145,000 euros yes you read it right! This charming, refurbished cortijo style property is located within 6.900m2 of productive orange grove less than 10 minutes drive from all of the amenities of Álora pueblo. The main living accommodation extends to 127m2 and is distributed over two levels. The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious lounge / dining room, a generously proportioned dining kitchen, 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom. The lounge and master bedroom enjoys split aircon heating/ cooling units, and all rooms are equipped with ceiling fans. There is also a fabulous woodburning stove which warms the entirely ground floor during the occasional chilly evening which we might occur during an Andalucian winter. The upper floor hosts a spacious bedroom with ensuite shower room and access out onto a glorious roof terrace which hosts almost 360° views across the Andalucian countryside to El Hacho, La Huma and Torcal mountains. The upper floor, although can be accessed directly from the main house, does also enjoy an independent access, offering potential for exploitation for rural tourism accommodation. There is sufficient space for a simple conversion into a studio apartment. The current owners have upgraded the insulation of this property and installed high quality, triple insulated "clima plus" UPVC windows, offering comfortable living throughout the year. There are many sunny and shady outside entertaining areas including a large terrace ideal for "al fresco" dining leading to a beautiful Andalucian patio which is planted out with a large variety of colourful shrubs and plants. The immaculately presented 8m × 4m swimming pool looks very inviting and there is an outside WC / shower room. In addition to the main living accommodation there are various outbuildings including a store room/ work shop of 23m2 and another log store of 19m2. There is ample parking for several cars and a carport. The land is all flat, irrigated, fertile land hosting approx. 600 orange trees. The owner has a contract with a local citrus farmer who maintains the trees and exploits the crop while the owner enjoys sufficient fruit for domestic use. Who doesn’t love a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice! There are also a variety of other fruit trees and a kitchen garden. It is now reduced in price from 385.000€ to 240.000€. This reduction is to reflect the fact that, although of all the m2 of building are all registered in the catastro register, only 40m2 of the house are registered in the escritura and Registro de La Propiedad and the property is located in the valley bottom on land with risk of flooding should we experience exceptional weather conditions. The property enjoys mains electricity, high speed internet and a copious private water supply. This property offers the opportunity to acquire a comfortable home with added potential to provide some rural tourism accommodation, subject to obtaining the relevant licenses.
