Villa for sale in Santa Cruz del Comercio, Granada

Situated in an elevated position with stunning country and mountain views is this detached country villa with three double bedrooms (two en-suite) and four bathrooms.

This beautiful two-storey property has a wraparound covered porch on the ground floor leading into a cosy lounge with a feature stone fireplace and inset cast-iron wood-burning fire. There is a central dining area inside the main entrance with bespoke double wooden doors. Off the dining area is an inner corridor with a store cupboard, and a ground-floor cloakroom with vanity unit and modern WC. There is also a large modern kitchen on the ground floor, beautifully appointed with a range of wall and base units with a breakfast bar in clean white handleless units, offering a great deal of storage and preparation space. The kitchen includes a five-burner gas hob, two eye-level integral ovens and a microwave by Bosch. An inset stainless-steel sink sits under a lovely window with views over the garden, palm tree and surrounding countryside.

From the dining area, a bright staircase with traditional Andalusian tiles and wrought-iron balustrade leads to the first-floor landing with a stained-glass window. The principal en-suite bedroom has three double built-in wardrobes. There is also a double guest bedroom and a family bathroom.

At the rear of the house are outbuildings for secure storage, including a full utility room with wash basin and WC, with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. There is a detached building at the rear of the parking area that can be used as an office or workshop. Mature plants and flower beds sit under a mature palm tree, providing a colourful backdrop to the 12 m x 5 m swimming pool. The pool has a new pump and glass bead filtration system, and it can be heated by an electric heater. Around the pool is a spacious terraced area with lots of space for dining and sunbathing. The pool terrace sits between the pool and the amazing outdoor kitchen and bar, with its cast-iron pizza oven, fully tiled long island bar with under-counter fridges and a freezer. There is also a built-in brick BBQ and a large covered dining space that is wired for TV and music.

A brick-built fire pit is surrounded by built-in walled seating, ideal for cosy nights around the pool. This whole area has unobstructed views of the Sierra Tejeda mountains and the surrounding countryside.

From the pool terrace, a stone pathway leads down to the detached two en-suite bedroom guest house. This building is registered for tourism if required and offers the opportunity for additional income or a comfortable space for family and friends, with open-plan living and dining, a wood-burning fire and a complete kitchen. The guest house has a covered porch with space for alfresco dining and ample parking for at least two vehicles at the end of its own driveway.

The entire property is fully connected to the main electricity supply, and at this time a full range of solar panels provides electricity, ensuring the electricity bills mainly provide money back from the electricity company. Water comes from a private well that pumps water to the very top of the land, supplying two individual water tanks—one for this property and one for the nearest neighbour’s house. In one of the outbuildings at the rear of the house there is additional water storage and a water filtration system for the house. Both systems allow a cost-effective way of running a large luxury property.

The 50,000 m² of land has around three hundred 6–7 year old olive trees, currently managed by a local farmer. From next year, the trees will provide an income from the olives, enabling the owner to have complete privacy from this land without having to maintain it or the trees. The farmer provides olive oil created from the olives and supplies olive wood to the owner of the villa every year. The land and trees can be managed by the owner if desired.
