3 bedroom ground floor apartment with excellent outside living space, communal pool and underground garage  

Located on Huerta Nueva in Los Gallardos the property is well proportioned and excellently presented making it ideal for full time living.

Set on a plot of 272m² the apartment comprises “L” shaped living room defining lounge and dining areas with patio doors leading to the garden; fully fitted galley style kitchen including all white goods and generous storage space and access to the rear terrace; master double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with bath & shower over, basin, toilet and bidet; two further double bedrooms and second bathroom with shower, basin and toilet.

The largest area of outside living space is the south east facing garden to the front of the property that takes sun from first thing in a morning until late afternoon when it moves to the rear of the property. Laid with shingle and planted in Mediterranean style with mature hedges to two sides and furnished with table and chairs, this is a superb space for enjoying the Andalucía climate.

To the front of the dining area there is a small covered terrace in which to perhaps take morning coffee escaping the sun and to the side of that a path leading to the main entrance of the property and the rear terrace.

The description of terrace is in fact underselling the space at the rear of the property somewhat as it is truly a complete outdoor living room. With screening and hedges it creates a private courtyard feel and is furnished with dining table and chairs, wicker sofa, chairs and coffee table. For private al fresco dining or social entertaining, it is a superb extension to the already sizeable property.

Being a full time home for the current owners the apartment has been well maintained and has air conditioning and ceiling fans installed throughout; two bedrooms benefit built in wardrobes and patio doors to either the front garden or rear terrace; new installations include a Vaillant gas boiler for hot water and a washing machine; and the oven and hob are also relatively new appliances.

An underground parking space is also included with the property as is use of the communal swimming pool and gardens.

The beaches of Mojácar, Garrucha and Vera are only 15 minutes drive away and the local village of Los Gallardos 2 minutes.

Los Gallardos has a variety of bars and restaurants providing both traditional Spanish fare and English dishes too. With two small supermarkets and the weekly street market offering a large selection of fresh fruit and vegetables that’s the food shopping taken care of too.

The A7/E15 is close by making travelling times to Almería, Murcia and Alicante airports 45, 80 and 120 minutes respectively.

Golfers have a varied selection of courses to choose from in the area including Marina Playa on the coast, the Arizona style course at Desert Springs and the Valle del Este with 4* Hotel & Spa just a few kilometres away.

Skiing in the morning and being down on the beach in the afternoon is possible with Sierra Nevada ski resort being only approximately 2½ hours away and in recent years has grown in popularity with some of the best snowfalls in Europe.

Walking, bowls and craft clubs are also plentiful so there is always something that you can get involved with should you wish to.

Los Gallardos is a popular destination for Spanish and tourists alike for the annual Three Kings celebration and re-enactment in January and also the July fiesta. The village has received considerable funding to build a new health centre, school and sports facilities with a new cultural centre recently being completed too.
