AX1336 – Casa Lomas, Almachar, country house with gardens, pool (to be finished) and views

3 bedrooms – 2 bathrooms – lower level 1 bedroom apartment to be renovated/completed – pool to be completed – 6446m2 plot – views over village

A light renovation project consisting of a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house with excellent potential, with the main house (3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) needing light renovation, plus an apartment to be completed on a lower level.

Casa Lomas has only a few metres of track to the private gated driveway leading up to the house. There is plenty of space for parking and for gardens to the front and rear.

The owners of this lovely house call it an ‘unpolished diamond’, meaning that for only a reasonably small investment, this property can be made exquisite and beautiful.

Main house and gardens
The main house is on one single level, consisting of a covered terrace, with a front door leading into an entrance hall with a door to the living/dining room room to the left.  There is no fireplace at present, but the chimney flue is already in place to add a fireplace or woodburner/pellet stove.  An archway from the dining room leads into the kitchen, whcih also leads back to the hallway.  A short corridor to the right of the hallway leads to three bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom, plus a family bathroom.

From the kitchen is a back door leading out into the rear garden, a very lovely, private space which at the moment is not planted, but could be made into a beautiful garden.  To the right of this garden area is an unfinished, raised pool and jacuzzi, with steps, that needs completing.  The idea of the raised pool was to be able to swim at a height, overlooking beautiful views.

This property is just a 5 minute drive from the picturesque village of Almachar and around 20 minutes from the coast at Torre del Mar.  It has mains electricity and mains water can be requested, as within the price is included the costs of requesting and issuing the DAFO, – (including the cost of a regulation septic tank, not yet in place) –  a local council certificate that is needed to connect to the mains water.  Meanwhile, water is supplied via a private water provider who delivers water whenever required to a 15,000L water deposit.

Lower apartment
Below the house and accessed from the top of the driveway, is a large garage/workshop/underbuild.  This can be kept as such, or converted into a large, 1 bedroom apartment.  It already has in place the divding walls for the bedroom and a walk-in dressing area and bathroom, with plumbing in place for the drainage.

This property is a fun project for anyone wishing to put their own mark and style on a property that is already built – no structural work is required.

The total size of the property according to the Catastro registry is 168m2, of which the lower apartment is 33m2.  The buildings need to be added to the land deeds, but the cost of this is included in the price, as well as the DAFO certificate process.
