Finca/Country House for sale in Vélez-Málaga, Málaga

An original country house in a small country hamlet, with all its original character, in need of renovation, within 25 minutes of the coast.

Situated in a small country hamlet of country houses that have almost all been renovated, on a south facing hillside around 7 minutes’ drive above the village of Triana and 20 minutes from Velez-Malaga, Casa Alejandro is ideal for anyone wishing to live in a small, rural community with good outside space, peace, and beautiful views.

This is a project but it would not be a difficult job. Ideally, it could be renovated to make a comfortable and beautiful 2 bedroom home with a large bathroom, or even, perhaps 2 bathrooms.

A short drive (across public land) can be used for parking several cars, in front of the house, or a drive could be made on the land to the side of the country road if preferred. The house has a lovely covered patio terrace to the front with sea views, with a garden area with fruit trees. Here also is a large water tank to store water and to the front also is an open reservoir in a rectangular shape of around 3 x 2.5m which could be tiled and adapted easily to make a small dip pool.

From the covered terrace, original double wooden doors lead into the living room, with a low partition wall leading to a kitchen (living room and kitchen size around 5 x 3m) with a fireplace in the current kitchen. To the right, a door leads into bedroom 1 (3 x 2.5m), which in turn leads into bedroom 2 to the rear (3 x 2.5m). From the living room, a door in the rear wall leads to three rooms, originally used for animals and animal feeds (space around 5 x 4m). It would not be difficult to alter the layout to make it possible to access the rear bedroom from this area, without having to walk through bedroom 2, and indeed, to create one, or even two bathrooms within the house. The house has its original beams, and river cane in some places, sloping ceilings, wonderful thick, stone walls and original floor tiling in places.

To the side of the house are a series of outbuildings, including an outside bathroom and, a few steps down, a collection of rough animal pens within a stone wall. This whole area has the potential for becoming an exquisite walled patio garden. And next to this area is a further area of land with fruit trees. And to the other side of the house is a section of sloping land, adjoining the country road.

The property has mains water and electricity. Renovation is required, and the end result could be very beautiful.
