Villa for sale in Albox, Almería

Impressive detached villa with pool and garage in a rural location near Albox and Taberno (Almería)

This large, fully refurbished detached villa is set in an exceptionally peaceful and beautiful rural location between the towns of Albox and Taberno. The property offers complete privacy and off-grid living, featuring a private swimming pool, an expansive plot of nearly 5 hectares, a huge integral garage and workshop, and magnificent panoramic mountain and countryside views. Taberno can be reached in just over a 5-minute drive for day-to-day essentials including local shops, traditional tapas bars, a municipal pool, and pharmacy, while the larger market town of Albox is under 15 minutes away, providing major supermarkets, medical facilities, banks, restaurants, and a bustling weekly market. The Mediterranean coastline can be reached in approximately 45 minutes.

The property is accessed via a dirt track of approximately 1.8 km (easily accessible in a standard car and not situated in a rambla - dry riverbed). A private driveway winds its way up to the home, leading to a vast parking area for multiple vehicles alongside a substantial integrated garage capable of comfortably housing at least two cars.

A covered arched terrace to the front provides the ideal spot for sheltered outdoor dining and relaxation while taking in the surroundings. This leads to the main pool area, where a kidney-shaped swimming pool measuring approximately 9 x 4 metres is surrounded by an expansive sun terrace and an adjacent covered seating area. The cultivated gardens immediately surrounding the villa feature a selection of fruit trees, vibrant flowering plants, a petanque court, and thoughtfully landscaped sections, offering plenty of scope for keen gardeners. Extending over nearly 5 hectares, the vast plot guarantees seclusion and offers excellent opportunities for those wishing to make agricultural use of their own land.

Stepping inside through the main front door, you are welcomed into an entrance hallway fitted with a substantial log-burning stove designed to heat the entire home efficiently. From the hallway, doors open into the principal ground-floor living spaces. The exceptional kitchen-diner is a standout feature, beautifully appointed with high-quality units, a massive central island, stone worktops, extensive fitted storage, and integrated appliances, alongside a dedicated dining area positioned by a large window framing the country views. Double doors lead through to the unique lounge, which mirrors the property’s architectural curves and boasts a pellet burner, air conditioning, ample space for substantial furniture, and patio doors opening directly onto the pool terrace. A practical utility room provides direct internal access between the house and the garage. Completing the ground floor is the master suite on the lower level, offering exceptional space, an expansive dedicated dressing area with fitted wardrobes, and a private en-suite bathroom equipped with a modern walk-in shower.

A staircase leads up from the entrance hall to a bright first-floor landing, which connects to three further large guest bedrooms, all capable of accommodating double beds or larger. The smallest of these bedrooms is currently utilized as a home office/craft room and enjoys access to a private rear terrace. The remaining two double bedrooms are spacious with ample space for freestanding or fitted storage, and both feature their own private en-suite bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower and the other with a bath and a separate shower. Additionally, both of these primary guest bedrooms open directly onto a huge upper terrace overlooking the front of the villa, capturing the best countryside views.

The property is fully set up for self-sufficient, off-grid living, powered by a modern 5 kW solar energy system with newly installed lithium-ion storage batteries and a backup generator. Mains water is connected, supplemented by a backup storage tank to ensure an uninterrupted water supply at all times.
