4 bedroom detached villa with private pool – Los Gallardos  

Benefitting some of the best uninterrupted views of the Sierra Cabrerra mountains, this deceptively large property on first visit is one that continues to give and will not disappoint the discerning viewer.

With an orange juice terrace on the east side of the property over to a sundowners gin & tonic veranda on the west; and a roof top solarium taking all day sunshine down to the private secluded swimming pool and garden below; this property really does have everything covered.

Entering the plot from road side via the pedestrian gate it is hard to believe that there can be so much property to discover within. Stepping up on to the covered veranda you take the first glimpse of the amazing views and enter the villa.

Internally the villa comprises a large central entrance hall of which to the right there is a bright and airy living room with windows to three aspects taking the aforementioned views. Comfortably furnished with large sofas, chair and footstool the property already feels like a home rather than just another property.

To the left of the entrance hall there is the fourth bedroom that the owners have utilised as a dining room that comfortably seats six people. Behind the dining room there is a hallway that gives access to the three bedrooms and family bathroom.

The master bedroom is very generous in size and easily accommodates the three built in wardrobes and has an en suite bathroom with shower, bidet, toilet and basin.

The second double bedroom also has built in wardrobes whilst the third has been utilised as a study / occasional bedroom and can also take a double bed and a free standing wardrobe.

The family bathroom is equipped with a bath and shower over, bidet, toilet and basin and similar to the en suite bathroom has an opening window which is not always the case with Spanish properties.

Finally, the fully fitted kitchen with electric hob, oven, extractor, fridge freezer and dishwasher, completes the listing for the inside of the property.

Stepping out of the kitchen there is a terrace off which there is a utility room housing the washing machine and steps up to the solarium and down to the swimming pool and garden.

Going up to the large solarium that is the footprint of the villa, you find a covered pergola with retractable sun shades that create a wonderful al fresco dining area. It is also a great area in which to BBQ and top up not only the tan but also on the amazing views across the horizon.

Heading down to the garden level you find the swimming pool with Roman steps to one end. Around the pool there is terracing, room for sun loungers and also a feature octagonal pergola and seating area that creates another outside dining area.

At this level there is a useful storage cupboard and another door that leads down to an under build that is currently used as a storage area. Everyone needs somewhere to store their Christmas decorations after all!

Moving around the sides of the property towards the front you find a selection of fruit trees and Mediterranean plants. The front is part planted and laid with shingle to create extra parking space beyond that provided by the drive and carport.

The villa has been the full time home for the current owners and maintained to a very high standard. It benefits gas powered central heating, air conditioning, mosquito screens, ceiling fans, in fact everything that makes a house a liveable home in Spain! The gardens are well established and carefully planted to maximise on privacy but not overbearingly so.

The asking price includes most furniture and a full inventory can be supplied on request. However, the proposed Inventory would make the property key-ready for a new owner to move in and enjoy immediately.

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.
