AX1381 – Casa Tío Guar, two country houses in need of renovation, Almachar

Two rustic country houses to renovate, in a row of three country houses, total size of build around 104m2 with rear patio and a shared garden patio to the front, plus store room – beautiful views – country setting

Situated on a quiet hillside along a good country track, and around 10/15 minutes from the village of Almachar, Casa Tío Guar consists of two ancient cottages of a line of three, with a communal ‘era’ or ancient threshing circle to the front and a private patio garden to the rear.

The first house, on the corner, is in a ruinous state, on two floors of 26m2 each floor.  Behind it is a walled rear patio garden which could be made into a beautiful private outdoor area, with beautiful views across the dramatic, mountainous landscape.

The house next door consists of three rooms, with original floors and sloping ceilings, along with an original fireplace.

The houses need complete renovation.  Together, the two could be made into a very lovely, rustic style country home, perhaps offering 2 or three good sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, or they could be renovated as separate dwellings.

At present there is no mains electricity or water.  The electricity is possible to connect once the renovation is complete and fully approved.  Water would be via regular delivery to a large water tank (very common practice in the area).
