Villa for sale in Cañada de la Lena, Abanilla, Murcia

This beautifully maintained villa is located on the edge of the village of Cañada de la Leña, within walking distance of the local bar/restaurant and just a 10-minute drive from the popular town of Pinoso.

Pinoso is a well-serviced town where you will find supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants, schools, medical facilities, sports facilities, and everything needed for day-to-day life. Cañada de la Leña is a charming village with a friendly local atmosphere and its own summer fiestas.

The property sits on a fully fenced plot of just over 6,000 m² and offers attractive low-maintenance garden areas, natural land, a private swimming pool, summer kitchen, carport, workshop, storage areas, and beautiful open surroundings. The garden has been carefully improved over the years, with extensive gravelled areas, raised vegetable beds, an automated watering system, rainwater collection, and secure fencing, making it ideal for dog owners.

Inside the Property

The villa is accessed via a lovely gravel driveway which leads up to the house and parking areas. There are two entrances into the property. One entrance is located to the side of the house and leads into the utility room, while the main entrance is accessed via the covered front porch/naya, which has been fitted with sun screens and provides a lovely shaded seating area.

The main front door opens directly into the living room, a warm and welcoming open-plan space with beautiful wooden vaulted ceilings, which continue throughout the house. The living room has a cosy feel and features a log-burning stove, perfect for the cooler months. The log burner has also been improved with an insulated flue.

Off the living room is the fitted kitchen, which is practical and well equipped, with good storage, plenty of worktop space, new sinks, a reverse osmosis drinking water system, and a hot/cold drinking water tap. From the kitchen, there is access to the separate utility room, which also has its own external door to the side of the property.

Also off the living room is the glazed sunroom/conservatory, currently used as a dining room and second sitting area. This is a bright and comfortable space which can be enjoyed throughout the year and benefits from air conditioning for both heating and cooling. From here, there is also a door leading out towards the swimming pool area.

The property has three good-sized double bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom which has been updated with a modern walk-in shower. There is also a refreshed family bathroom, also with a modern shower area. All bedrooms now have air conditioning units for both heating and cooling, making the property comfortable throughout the year.

Outside the Property

The outside areas are one of the main features of this villa. The plot is fully fenced and offers a good balance of landscaped garden areas and natural land, creating usable outdoor space while still being easy to maintain.

The private swimming pool measures approximately 11 x 6 metres and is surrounded by a large sunbathing terrace. The pool has been upgraded with LED lighting, and the filter system has been improved with glass media instead of sand.

Next to the pool area, there is a summer kitchen with a built-in barbecue, creating a fantastic space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The garden areas have been finished with gravelled sections, raised planted areas, decorative features, and a vegetable growing area with raised beds, automated watering, and rainwater collection.

To the rear of the villa, there is a double carport, storeroom, workshop, and boiler room. The current owners have also added access to the underbuild, creating a useful additional space beneath the house.

Additional Features

The property benefits from mains water which feeds into a deposit with a pump, mains electricity, fibre optic internet of around 100mb, central heating, air conditioning throughout the bedrooms, living room, and sunroom, and a log-burning stove.

A major feature of the property is the solar system, which includes 9 kW of solar panels, a 5 kW grid-tied hybrid inverter, and 17.4 kW of battery storage. This has greatly reduced the electricity costs of the property, with the owners currently paying around €30 per month.

The central heating system has been upgraded with a more modern and efficient oil boiler, while the hot water is now provided by an electric water heater, timed to heat during the day using solar power.

The property has been carefully maintained and improved inside and out, including updated bathrooms, new lighting throughout, refreshed living areas, improved fencing, gravelled driveway and garden areas, and general painting and maintenance where needed.

There is also an observatory with a powerful telescope, making the most of the beautiful dark skies in this peaceful countryside location.

This is a beautifully presented and very well-maintained villa in a lovely village-edge location, offering privacy, space, modern upgrades, low running costs, and excellent outdoor areas. It would make a fantastic permanent home, holiday home, or countryside retreat close to both Cañada de la Leña and Pinoso.
