2 bedroom restored cortijo – Gacia Alto (near Gafarillos)  

This sale is not just one of a property; it is also for an opportunity to buy the experience of living in a small Spanish village where the current owners describe themselves to have been blessed to have lived there.

The village of Garcia Alto is approximately a 10 minute drive from the A7/E15 motorway and comprises a hand full of properties linked by small plazas and a narrow winding street that runs through them.

A property in a village such as this is typically passed from one Spanish generation to the next so this really is an unusual opportunity.

The thick walled cortijo has been restored impeccably with attention to detail, some clever thinking optimising space and light and above all it has been done with passion.

The ground floor comprises a main living room with log burning stove; fitted kitchen with marble worktops, extensive storage space, gas hob, electric oven and fridge-freezer; two double bedrooms; and a bathroom with feature glass block walk-in shower, toilet, bidet and basin.

Accessed via an internal staircase there is a roof top solarium that is the footprint of the ground floor and benefits a glass room with sliding doors to two sides creating an extra room that has been utilised as a winter lounge, third bedroom and recreational / entertaining room from which you can enjoy the amazing views.

Also on this very private solarium there are covered storage areas, one of which houses the washing machine.

To the front of the property at ground floor level there is a bougainvillea covered terrace.

The renovation has been performed thoroughly and with high quality materials used throughout. With the installation of internet facilities it has also made it “21st century user friendly” for keeping in touch with the outside world.

50m from the house there is a 70m² almacén (storeroom) that has water and electric connections along with a new roof and garage door to the front. Permission could be obtained to convert it in to a dwelling.

The third part to this sale is a 1,056m² plot that benefits agricultural water supply, electric, pump room for the automated irrigation system and caravan-come-gardeners-shed along with a selection of fruit trees.

The village is serviced by a selection of travelling sales people including baker, butcher, fishmonger, greengrocer and also gas bottles.

This property is truly something a little bit different from many properties we see and would be suitable for those with a little bit of adventure in their soul.
