AX1342 – Casa Fishard, large, luxury village house, Riogordo

5 bedrooms – 2 bathrooms (possibility of more) – huge workshop – huge garage – spectacular mega-terrace with views – patio – space for a pool

A simply spectacular and unusual village house, offering excellent space both inside and outside, renovated to a high spec.

This beautiful, immaculate house is located in a very convenient, attractive street in the picturesque village of Riogordo, with plenty of facilities, shops, restaurants, sports facilities, medical centre, and more.

The house sits of a plot of 362.7m2 and the house, on two floors plus a semi basement, consists of a total of 415m2.

To the front of the house, a pretty walled and gated patio area separates the facade of the house from the street.  There is space here to sit and watch the world go by and chat to passing neighbours and villagers.  The front door leads into a small hallway with parquet flooring and traditional tiled walls, with a second front door (ideal for keeping the dogs inside, when answering the door or going out).  This leads into to a superb, modern, fully fitted kitchen (8 x 3.6m) with parquet flooring and clean, pristine lines.  This is a sleek, elegant space with hidden cupboards and a central island.  There is plenty of space for a dining table, with windows overlooking the front of the house.

Double doors to the right lead into the living room, a lovely space (8 x 4.1m) with a sweeping staircase, windows to the front, a digital pellet burner, and a door to a smaller winter living room (4.5 x 3m) with a large, original open fireplace.  The double wooden doors with glass panels are of the best quality and the parquet wooden floors are in every room.

From the kitchen, double doors lead out into the inner ground floor patio, consisting of a covered walkway and a lovely central dining area.  A door to one side of the patio leads to a bathroom with a corner shower unit (around 1.5 x 1.5m).  The bathroom sits under a staircase that leads up to the main terrace.  And at the end of the covered walkway, a door and some steps lead down into the large garage (21 x 4.6m) with garage doors to the street at the front end.  To the rear, a side door leads into a large workshop room with high ceilings and windows to the rear.  This room can be used for a variety of activities such as yoga, a gym/fitness studio, a dance studio, or it could be converted into a large, working office.  At the very end of the garage a door and a few steps down takes us to the small garden, planted with a large lemon tree.  This area could be made into a miniature garden with many flowering plants, or, alternatively, it would make the perfect location to build a small outdoor pool.

Taking the stairs from the living room, we reach the upper level and a landing area with a corridor, and granate floors in excellent condition.  The corridor leads to 5 spacious bedrooms and the second bathroom. Bedroom 1 is located immediately across from the stairs and is 3.7 x 2.6m with a window to the front. Next to it is a second very spacious bedroom, 3.8 x 4.6m with a long balcony over the street and with two sets of double patio doors. Opposite is the third bedroom, 3 x 3.2m plus wardrobe, with the family bathroom next door (2 x 3.2m); both these rooms have windows over the central patio well. Bedroom 4 is at the end of the corrdor, with a window and a long balcony over a side street with double patio doors. And finally, bedroom 5 is 3 x 3.5m and would make a perfect additional bathroom if required, with the plumbing pre-installed. The corridor turns to the right and leads, through a door, onto the main terrace.

Back on the landing by the staircase, double doors lead down a short corridor with built-in cupboards on either side, leading into a large upstairs fitted kitchen with windows over the patio well. This lovely, bright room makes it possible to cook and entertain upstairs on the main terrace without having to bring food up from the ground floor kitchen. At the far end of the upstairs kitchen, a door leads through to an upstairs living room, with a fireplace. This room (around 24m2) has awnings that act as walls on the terrace side, so that the room can be completed enclosed, or they can be opened, making this a covered space open to the terrace.

The main terrace is a joy to have in any village property. This large space of around 85m2 is completely tiled, in perfect condition, and has wonderful views over the countryside. It is accessed via the stairs from the ground floor patio, from the door to the bedroom area, and from the upstairs lounge/kitchen area.

This lovely property has 15 photovoltaic solar panels with batteries, supplying electricity to the grid, storing electricity and reducing the mains electrics bills to a very low rate.

It has new pvc double glazed, quality windows that keep in the warmth in the winter and keep out the heat in the summer. Some of the windows have mosquito nets.

The house is extremely well built and solid, built on pure rock.

There are two air conditining units (hot and cold) in two bedrooms. It would be easy to add more.

This is the perfect property for anyone wishing to own a spacious, comfortable home with good outside space, but with the convenience of being able to walk to excellent facilities in a vibrant country town, just 30 minutes from Malaga. It would also work well as a small business, offering accommodation to tourists and in particular for classes, yoga, etc.
