description

This beautiful villa is set in the mountains just a few minutes' drive from the town of Oria in a small community of El Barranco de Quiles. The scenery is stunning and is matched by the charm of this wonderful, character villa. Full of interesting features it melds the modern and the traditional in a way which demands to be seen. The outside has nooks, crannies, patios and terraces galore! Whether you are after sun, shade or something in between, this property really has something for everyone. Take a peek at the pictures and dream of summer afternoons by the pool, followed by a BBQ on the terrace (and perhaps a sly G&T). Ah bliss! Amongst the many flowerbeds and mature shrubs are numerous places to sit and enjoy the views. From various places in the garden, you may even be lucky enough to spy the giant hedgehog on the hill. Ask the owners to point him out when you visit! On cooler evenings enjoy a plunge in the hot tub in yet another outside space of which this property has in abundance. A house for the romantic, most definitely, but also a house full of practical features such as 2 garages and an awful lot of storage space. It even has a water deposit to keep you showered in the unlikely event of a water supply cut. Once you step into the house you will not be disappointed. It has a 'tardis' like quality, full of charm and opportunities. Configured as three-bedroom/two-bathroom to suit the current owners, it would be relatively simple to convert into a four-bedroom property. The bathrooms and kitchen are attractively kitted out and the house has a wonderfully warm feel to it. Step into the conservatory and take in the magnificent 360-degree views. A room, equally alluring, in both winter and summer. This property is really- well positioned, particularly if you like an evening stroll or a more demanding mountain hike. In fact, its heaven for walkers and cyclists. A paradise also for anyone interested in flora or fauna. The owners tell be Ibex are almost daily visitors in the surrounding hills and look up to watch the eagles and vultures circling. It is just a five-minute drive to the bars, shops, medical centre, bank and other facilities in Oria. A trip to the coast is less than an hour's drive and you're only a few minutes away from the Saliente Monastery. The property boasts a double A energy performance (which is a rarity), solar panels which reduce electricity bills, a septic tank, air conditioning, for summer, and a pellet burner central heating for the winter. All windows are double glazed, and the house is well insulated. A lot has been spent to bring this wonderful house up to an exceptionally high specification.
