Villa for sale in Almuñécar, Granada

In the beautiful bay of La Herradura, in the area known as Peña Parda, less than a 10-minute walk from the beach (the route is shortened through an estate) and 20 minutes away by a pleasant walk, with incredible views of the beach and sea and of the protected natural area of Cerro Gordo, featuring one of the most spectacular sunsets on the entire Andalusian coast, as seen from the Cerro Gordo viewpoint.

Five minutes by car from the motorway junction, putting us within 45 minutes of Granada, a historic and monumental city that is a must-see; 55 minutes from Málaga, capital of the Costa del Sol and a destination for tourism, golf, leisure and shopping; and 90 minutes from the incredible natural beauty of the Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada.

In an exceptional location, as this was one of the first houses built in the area, its original owner chose a 940 m² plot that dominates the surrounding properties, with spectacular views of the bay, beach, sea, village and mountains. Here, he built this property of more than 300 m², featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 guest toilet, a very spacious living room with fireplace, and spectacular views from more than 200 m of different terraces and sun terraces, offering various settings and culminating in a stunning cinematic infinity pool, with a water surface of forty square metres and twenty-five square decimetres (40.25 m²).

Describing the layout of the property in greater detail, we arrive from the beach or from the main road (there are several different access points) and find the spacious, enclosed garage, measuring more than 40 m², with room for two cars, as well as several more in the access area itself.

We go down a short flight of stairs and enter the main floor of the house, measuring 165 m². A small entrance hall leads into the very spacious main living room, with fireplace and access to the terrace. There is also another living room, with side access to the pool and barbecue area, a bar with a small outdoor kitchen, a jacuzzi, etc.

This floor also includes a guest toilet, the kitchen and two bedrooms, including the main bedroom with its own terrace and spacious en-suite bathroom.

We move on to the star feature: almost 200 m of terraces and sun terraces, with the heated pool as the main jewel. From here, while in the water with a drink in hand, we can enjoy privileged views both day and night, with nothing in front to obstruct or diminish their beauty.

From here, we can go down to the 118 m² guest area, where, in addition to a pleasant communal area with a large table, we find two completely independent en-suite bedrooms, with direct access from the street via a side staircase. Through the adjoining estate, there is access to the path leading down to the beach in just a few minutes. The old wine cellar and billiards area are also located here, and could be converted into another bedroom if needed.

As this is an older house, updating the bathrooms, kitchen, etc. would be advisable and appropriate, but this is undoubtedly secondary. If there is one thing to highlight about this property, it is its exceptional location, accessibility and, above all, its privileged and outstanding views. It faces southwest, yet, because it sits above the hill on which it is located, it enjoys sunshine all day long.

What we cannot fail to highlight are its beautiful, magical and exceptional sunrises.
