Already, priced to sell the owner is open to offers. A superb opportunity! This house really needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated. It is a large, character, property situated in the cosmopolitan village of La Mata. It is one of 16 homes, which at last count, included Spanish, British, Dutch, Belgians, Italians and Columbians: a cosmopolitan village in the heart of Almeria! The house is totally reformed and ready to move into. The furniture, appliances, fittings and even the pots and pans are all included in the asking price! This special house has been restored to a high standard, is quirky and ideally suited to a family (or maybe to accommodate grandchildren!) It could also be adapted for a bed and breakfast as the top floor is laid out as an independent studio apartment. The house is 20 minutes-drive from the bustling market town of Velez-Rubio, just over an hour by car to Murcia Airport and also within reach of Alicante, Almeria and Granada airports. It´s around an hour´s drive to the beach resorts of Mojacar, Garrucha and Vera Playa. The house has been lovingly restored over 15 years by its current British owners with a pleasing mix of modern fixtures whilst retaining the old charm of an Andalusian cottage. The facilities include a lovely and large modern kitchen, an independant dining room, a cosy but good-sized sitting room, with a truly huge log burner which, I understand, warms the entire house in winter. There is also a double bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor. The entrance to the property is through a brick-built conservatory which has a storeroom /´man cave´ attached. Access to the first floor is via a staircase with ornate iron balustrade and contains a further large living room with an electric stove heater, three double bedrooms and 2 further modern bathrooms. Outside is a lovely small, sunny terrace with a variety of potted plants, an absolutely perfect place for your morning coffee! From here you have access to the top floor with another large and well-constructed conservatory with fly netting (doubled up and re-enforced). Through the conservatory is the large, independent studio apartment with kitchen units and an ensuite half bathroom. The front of the house has a new tiled roof, water is heated via solar panels on the roof and a very large water tank. This house has had a lot of money spent on it over the last 10 years or so and would make a great family home. It´s a rare opportunity to buy a house of this size and quality for 130,000 euros. Make no mistake, this is a great house for the money. And there is an opportunity to purchase a ruin behind the house which would provide the opportunity to build a wonderful characterful terrace / patio possibly using the old walls for privacy. This provides room for a patio garden and potentially swimming pool. LOS VELEZ & ORIA Los-Vélez is a beautiful and tranquil place to live. Perfectly situated on the eastern edge of Andalusia it is dominated by the Sierra Maria Natural Park a mountainous region of outstanding natural beauty.
