Lets’ explore this pretty property
We approach through the town of Oria and head towards Rambla de Oria. It is also only a short drive from the bustling town of Albox. The drive towards to property is very scenic with the rolling hills surrounding us, the plantation is mainly almonds which are truly a splendour during the flowering season. The hills come alive with the pink and white flowers, and the aromas are quite amazing.

Infront of the property there is a stoned driveway offering ample private parking, to the left of the home is an idyllic patio area. The front of the property is very inviting and offers great outside entertaining areas – perfect for Al Fresco dining. The location is private although not isolated.
We are very impressed as we enter the property through the double wooden doors with glass panels into a grand entrance hall (3.12x3.68m2), with the staircase leading to the first floor heading off to the right-hand side. The current owners utilise this area as a study with a desk under the stairs. The stairs area a real feature with tiled steps and detailed railings.
