This is a magnificent, yet modest, house that sits snugly into the natural landscape as if it has belonged there for centuries. At the end of a long, private drive, it is not easy to see where the surrounding countryside ends and the house begins, although the two crisp white outbuildings act as guiding beacons.

The property was completely reformed in 2011 and it has since been extremely well maintained and enhanced. One of the outhouses was only built 2 years ago, ostensibly as a garage.

The construction of the main house uses beautiful natural materials - mellow stones, rich timber beams - to complement the quality of the contemporary structure and the stylish design. The interior of the house flows easily, with comfortable open living spaces and large bedrooms that connect to outdoor areas. The property is well insulated, with thick walls: naturally cool in the summer and cosy and enveloping in the winter.

The accommodation is all on one floor.

At one end of the house, there is a wide covered porch with a door into the:

Kitchen/Dining Room/Living Room. An L-shaped, open-plan space that works very well, using a low wall and huge timber beam to loosely divide the areas.

The kitchen is very well fitted, with natural timber cupboards and generous work surfaces. There is an adjacent walk-in utility room/larder.

The dining area has a wood-burning stove and double doors that open into an outdoor dining terrace, and the living room area is cosy and welcoming. The smallest of the three bedrooms opens off this living room.

From the entrance door, it’s possible to follow the flow of the house right through, almost to the far end.

Another entrance door opens in the middle of the length of the house into a useful hallway.

Second Living Room - a larger reception room with another wood-burning stove in one corner.

Family bathroom and generous guest bedroom. A small rear hallway leads to the outdoor kitchen and barbecue terrace.

The large main bedroom has a lovely ensuite bathroom and doors onto the barbecue terrace.

OUTSIDE

The 10 hectares of land are naturally beautiful; eagles and vultures soar overhead, and deer and foxes are frequent visitors.

There is plenty of parking, and the plot surrounding the house is flat and easy to maintain.

One of the outhouses accommodates the pump and tank for water from the well, and a new array of lithium batteries for the solar energy system. The installations in the property are all fairly new, and have been thoroughly maintained. There is also an immaculate toolshed.

The garage was built only two years ago, and it is huge. It is currently used as a gym but it would be easy to convert this space into 2 bedroom guest accommodation or even a self-contained rental apartment.

The village of Caniles is 10 minutes’ drive from the property, and the larger town of Baza is 15 kms away.
