Villa for sale in Arboleas, Almería

Villa Viola. A beautiful 3 bed, 2 bath villa, within wonderful gardens. With a 10 x 5 private pool, large independent garage, newly added solar electric system, double covered car port, pergolas, roof terrace and stunning views. Situated on the end corner cul-de-sac in the small friendly hamlet of El Chopo, Arboleas.

Enter the property via double gates to the driveway with plenty of off-road parking, room for multiple vehicles including a motor home. The entrance splits off to the right leading to the garage (currently used as a store and art room) or continues straight ahead into a recently added double car port. The large corner gardens are genuinely beautiful and have been walled and screened for privacy.

At the villa frontage, a newly roofed pergola provides shade and wonderful views. There are numerous artificially grassed areas and tiled sun terraces surrounding the property, many with tables and chairs to kick back, relax and enjoy both the beautiful views and gardens. The perfect blend of established, pretty yet low maintenance has been incorporated throughout the gardens, which are well stocked with green and colourful plants, shrubs and fruit trees including oranges, lemons, olives, avocado and even a thriving raspberry bush.

Coming off the rear of the car port, you pass via a good-sized entertaining terrace with a wonderful newly added roofed wood pergola that flows seamlessly into the rear garden, where you have a fantastic 10 m x 5 m private pool. The pool has had a new pump and pipework installed recently. Metal spiral stairs from the pool area lead up to a very good-sized roof terrace that enjoys even more spectacular views.

Current owners have incorporated lots of spec upgrades into the property, such as a solar electric system, CCTV security system and air conditioning units in all key rooms. It also has fly screens fitted throughout and marble-topped stone cladding around the entire base of the villa. Front door access off of the covered porch leads into the hallway. To the left is the dining/lounge area with double-glazed windows and a central log-burning fireplace. Double doors from the lounge lead to what originally was a large 3rd bedroom, which is currently set up to provide a beautiful 2nd lounge-dining area. Double-door access on one side leads out to the pergola-covered entertaining terrace, and a single door on the opposite side loops into the kitchen. This is a good-sized room that looks out over the pool and includes a dishwasher, double oven, ample cupboard space above and below the worktops, plus a second interior door back out to the living room/hallway.

To the right of the main lounge is the large family shower room, with a walk-in shower and rainfall shower head, bidet, sink, WC, sink and vanity unit with mirror and light. To the left is a double guest bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and to the right is the master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, again with a rainfall shower head and WC.

Location-wise, the villa is a short 6-minute drive from Arboleas centre with day-to-day amenities including a chemist, supermarket, newsagent, banks, medical centre and its popular Saturday street market. The larger towns of Albox and Huercal-Overa are 15–20 minutes by drive and have larger stores and retail shops. The area is served well by 3 main airports: Almeria, Corvera (Murcia) and Alicante, all easily accessed via the E15/AP-7 motorway connection. The beaches and coastline are also an easy 25–30 minute drive.
