Finca/Country House for sale in Periana, Málaga

A simply lovely country house of 10,152 m2, fully habitable but requiring some updating and improvement, set on its own in a beautiful plot of fully usable, fully fenced land, with gardens, pool and views over the lake and surrounding countryside.

Located in the low slopes around Lake Viñuela, in the countryside of olive groves and surrounded by nature, yet within easy reach of local shops and amenities (around 7 minutes’ drive) and within 30 minutes of the coast, it offers plenty of potential. It is suitable for those who want to live not too isolated but on their own, for a couple to put their own mark on the property, to rent for holidays, to use for leisure, or to move in full time and take up olive farming.

The house, estimated at around 130 m2, sits on a fully fenced plot of 10,152 m2 with mature olive trees. A gate from the bottom of the plot gives access to a driveway and a car park by the side of the house.

A key feature is the beautiful covered terrace overlooking the breathtaking views of Lake Viñuela, with privacy and peace and quiet. The covered terrace has an awning roof with pull-down side awnings to enclose it entirely during the winter months if required.

The front door opens into a large hallway (6 x 3 m), which could be converted into a kitchen/dining room. To the rear is the current kitchen (4 x 2 m) with a door to the back outside area; it could be kept as the kitchen, turned into a utility room, or converted into a third bedroom.

On the right is a door into the living room (5 x 4 m), which needs improvement (possibly ceiling and flooring). It has large sliding glass doors to the front and a door to the rear leading to the main bedroom (5 x 4 m). The main bedroom has double doors to the rear and a door to an en-suite bathroom (2.5 x 2 m).

On the left is a door into a small office area (3 x 1.5 m) and into the other bedroom (5.5 x 3 m). This bedroom has double doors to the front and access to another bathroom (2.5 x 2 m).

This layout follows the original footprint of the old house that used to be on the site. There is air conditioning in one bedroom.

A metal staircase leads from around the back of the house to a look-out roof terrace, ideal for enjoying the views by day and the starry skies on dark country nights.

A few steps up behind the house lead to the pool garden area. The main feature is an oval-shaped pool of around 40 m2 finished in a rustic style with pebble features. Around the pool there is terracing for outdoor living, plus a working 4-seater jacuzzi.

There is a small caravan that can be left on site, and a poolside working bathroom/WC that could be improved.

The property is connected to mains electricity, with cables running underground. It has mains water, and additionally there is water via a well supplying fresh mountain water; the well is registered.

Overall, the property needs some attention and improvement inside and out, but it is already fully habitable and includes some high-quality features.
