4 double bedrooms – 1 good sized bathroom – huge lounge – large kitchen/diner – large Summer room/garage – terraces – 58,000m2 of land

A fabulous, spacious country house in glorious countryside on a working almond farm with 58,000m2 of land.  Private entrance track in perfect condition

This is a working almond farm with its own plentiful supply of natural water from a natural spring, which never dries up, in addition to mains water.  This gives the owner of this magnificent property the ability to grow vegetables and irrigated fruit trees in addtion to the almond crop, should that be required.  An ideal place to run an organic farm, or simply to enjoy owning one’s own piece of the glorious Andalusian countryside in the heart of the Montes de Malaga.

A private track off the main road, only 5 minutes from the country town of Colmenar, leads through the private plot of productive almond trees on the undulating hills, down to the house, with a large private parking area.  The immediate area around the house is fenced and could be developed into beautiful gardens.  A rather grand covered porch, with tall pillars, leads to the front door.  This covered porch is 3 x 3m.  The double front door leads into an inner hallway (2 x 1.5m) which is fully tiled in traditional Andalusian tiling, with further double doors through to the interior.

Straight ahead is a door into the magnificent kitchen/dining room.  This lovely room is a real live-in, work-in kitchen, (8.25 x 3.25m) with dining room table at one end and a fitted kitchen with quality units at the other.  The kitchen has a central open fireplace for the colder months of the year, making it a lovely room to spend time in during Winter too.  There is plenty of light filtering in from the windows and at the far end is a door to a very useful laundry and utility room (3 x 2m).  This extra room has a door to the outside, ideal for taking out the washing or the refuse.  There is also a separate larder or cold store room of 3 x 0.75m.

From the hallway, to the right is the door to the large living room (5.5 x 4m) with windows to the front of the house.  At the far end is the door to Bedroom 1 (4 x 3m plus built-in wardrobe) with windows to the front.

Back in  the inner hallway a short passage to the left leads to the rest of the house.  Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 are 4.5 x 3m including fitted wardrobe, 4.5 x 4m including double fitted wardrobes,and 4 x 3.25, including fitted wardrobe.  The bathroom is 3.5 x 2.5m with a bath and overhead shower. To the far end of the passageway, a door opens into the large garage/workshop/Summer room, which is a generous 9 x 4m.  It has a small kitchen fitted into this room, aswell as a traditional Spanish built-in bread oven.  A door from here leads out onto a lovely terrace of 4 x 4m with views over the farm.  This room, along with its terrace, could be converted into separate living accommodation.  Below this is a wood storage area and WC for the farm workers to use when working on the land and trees.

A short walk from the fenced garden is a lovely, lush fruit tree orchard with orange and lemon trees on completely flat ground.  Here also is the natural spring, and there are two water storage tanks, one of 2000L for irrigating the orchard and there is a second water tank for the house of 6000L.
