G164 – Casa Dulce, beautiful country house near Jayena

2 bedrooms – 2 bathrooms – 12,000m2 plot with productive olives – remote, unspoilt location – 10 mins to village

This gorgeous country house on one level offers comfort and simplicity in a fairly remote location, in stunning, totally natural and unspoilt countryside, close to a beautiful river and 10 minutes from the pretty village of Jayena in Granada province.  45 mins to Granada city.  RESERVED

Jayena is a pretty village with a good selection of shops, bars, restaurants and public facilities, set in the amazing, unbeatable countryside this wonderful Andalusian province has to offer.  From this property it is just a very short distance to the national park with a myriad a beautiful footpaths and walks through mountains and forests, and so this is the perfect place for anyone wishing to escape the crowds and be at one with mother nature.

The house sits in a plot of 11,947m2 of land, which slopes gently down the hill and is all useable land.  It is planted almost entirely with olive trees which produce excellent olive oil (currently looked after by a local farmer).

Access from the village is a concrete country lane, to the river and then a short dirt track to the house. At the moment the track is best tackled using a 4×4 but could be improved in places for easier access for other types of vehicle.

The house, 101m2, is all on one level, a very attractive building with a large front terrace with a pergola cover.  From here there are wonderful views of the countryside and mountains all around – and TOTAL PEACE!

The front door leads into a large, open plan living/dining/kitchen area, with the living room consisting of 41.3m2, with a space ready to add a woodburner, and the kitchen an additional 10.2m2.  The kitchen is basic at the moment and really a complete new kitchen is required.  A useful utility room is next door to the kitchen (1.7m2).

To the left of the living room, an inner hall leads to bedroom 1 (13.75m2) with windows to the front and side of the property, with an ensuite bathroom of 4.75m2.  On the rear side of the hallway is bedroom 2, (11.3m2), with windows to the side and rear, and next door is a shower room with walk-in shower (5.4m2).  There is also a useful little cupboard off the hallway.

This simple country house is as yet unconnected to electrics and water.  Water could initially be via tractor delivery, but there is underground water and so a legal well could be drilled.  Electricity is nearby and could be brought across, however, this house would merit from being totally independent from the mains electrics, with a solar and battery system of energy collection, all very possible now with ever-advancing modern energy technology.

The perfect property for someone wishing to get as close to nature as possible, in a comfortable and beautiful home.
