Terraces, Gardens and Views

Outdoor living is one of the defining strengths of this property. A covered terrace with full-height automatic glass enclosures extends the living space throughout the seasons, creating a comfortable transition between the house, pool and gardens.

The swimming pool sits within the landscaped grounds and is supported by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and bathroom. Consequently, the exterior areas work well for relaxed entertaining, long lunches and quiet family days at home.

The gardens have been carefully developed over time and include a rich variety of mature trees and plant species from around the world. They create a private botanical atmosphere, blending lush greenery with the light and warmth of southern Spain.

Practical garden infrastructure is already in place. The property benefits from its own private well and a fully automated irrigation system across the grounds, helping to support the mature landscaping throughout the year.

Views are focused towards the garden, pool, mountains, countryside and natural surroundings. Moreover, the river-edge setting adds a rare sense of calm for a home so close to the village centre.
