For anyone looking for a family home with stunning views, a large area of land and within walking distance of a charming village, then this lovely property would fit the bill.
The property was built in 2006 by the current owners, and with their own family very much in mind. The main house is oriented around the majestic view that takes in the surrounding mountains and a sweeping view of the sea towards Africa. There can be very few places with this elevated, panoramic scene.
Throughout the main house, there are free-flowing links between interior and exterior spaces and to one side there is an enormous, cloistered entertainment courtyard with its own bell tower and chapel - this is a fabulous space for outside events, and the property could be a very beautiful small hotel/wedding venue.
In addition to the main house, there is a separate 2 bedroom apartment with its own private terrace.
The property has a gated driveway and plenty of parking for guests.
Upper Ground Floor
Wide timber doors open into an inner courtyard, complete with an orange tree and access to the garages/bodega and the lovely cloistered courtyard.
Another large set of timber doors opens into the main house; a short flight of stairs leads up to the main living area. The living room, a study area and dining room are arranged in a U-configuration to make the most of the majestic views out of the large windows. Doors open onto a terrace and overlook a patio below. Bright, airy, characterful with timber ceiling beams and corner fireplaces, this floor is made for family living.
Separate WC.
Well-fitted kitchen.
Lower Ground Floor
The hallway that leads to all 4 bedrooms runs around a central patio, designed for shade, and doors open onto the pool terrace. Each of the bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom.
Separate Apartment
To one side of the house, there is access to the 2 bedroom apartment. Open-plan living room and kitchen; bathroom.
Garage/Bodega
Two folding garage doors provide access to the garages, and doors open behind onto the inner courtyard. The garages house the pellet boiler for the central heating, and there are barrels for wine along one wall.
Main Cloistered Courtyard
This area is a highlight of the property: a beautiful Andaluz-style colonnaded courtyard, part-museum, part-relaxing area, part-private chapel. A gate opens to the pool terrace, and in one corner there is a spiral staircase up to the bell tower.
It is this feature that suggests the property could be used as a boutique small hotel and events venue as the courtyard is fabulous for gatherings, and the property has astounding views.
The pretty village of Polopos is a mere 5 minutes’ walk from the house, and this village has seen some very sensitive rejuvenation with the advent of inspiring people breathing new life into the area.
