    Gualchos has recently been identified as the hidden gem on Granada’s Costa Tropical, and it is very easy to see why. This village is charming, sitting up from the coast and the beaches of Castell de Ferro, set against a back-drop of the Sierra de Contraviesa. There is a strong feel of a traditional Andalucian inland village, with winding streets emanating outwards from a tree-shaded main square, and there are constant reminders from the views that, to the north, there extends the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Yet, to the south there are the broad expanses of the Alboran Sea, the western-most part of the Mediterranean.

    This detached house commands an impressive position at the top of the village, just below the Fuente de la Mina, a XIX Century lavadero. It is such a surprising property, as it sits in an oasis of a garden and with an additional plot of flat land planted with all manner of trees and everywhere there are tantalising views of the sea. Privacy and tranquillity are the overriding impressions of any visit to this house, the only sounds to be heard being the occasional chirrup from a bee-eater flying overhead.

    The house was built in 1985 and it is excellent condition, but there is now the opportunity to restyle the interiors.

    The main gate to the property opens into a parking area and the oasis-like garden beyond, and there is a separate gated entrance to the large garage.

    Ground Floor

    Entrance hall that leads to the main reception rooms and the ground floor bedrooms.

    Large living room with views of the sea and the mountains to the north and west. There is a second reception room with an open fireplace and stairs to the first floor. This room also has sea views.

    Three ground floor bedrooms, all doubles and with wardrobes, and one of the bedrooms has sea views. Bathroom.

    Kitchen/Breakfast Room with a door out to the garden and with an adjacent walk-in larder.

    First Floor

    Two large bedrooms, one of which has sea views. Family bathroom.

    Outside

    Large garage with workshop area and a utility room at one end.

    Separate workshop.

    The upper part of the garden is paved and punctuated at regular intervals with semi-tropical plants and trees - it is an oasis of shade and colour. There is an indoor swimming pool, suitable for all-year use.

    Below the house, there is a sizeable plot of flat land with avocado, mango, orange and mandarin trees and this is completely fenced. It is a lovely area, and for the keen gardener this would be a fabulous opportunity to create a very special sub-tropical garden.

LOCATION

 

The BBC One programme, ‘Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job’ was filmed across Andalucia throughout the summer of 2024. Amanda Holden and Alan Carr bought an abandoned village house in Moclín through Granada Village & Country, and the historic village was the main focus for the programme, following Alan and Amanda’s progress as they restored the property.

‘Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job’ was first shown on BBC One from 24th January 2025 and is available on iPlayer.
