3 bedrooms – 1 bathroom – large covered terrace – garden – mountain views – 1km to the village
A detached country house of around 75m2 on one level with 37m2 of covered terrace, front garden with parking and rear garden, just a very short distance from the village.
Casita La Campana is located just outside the beautiful, picturesque village of Canillas de Aceituno and 25 minutes’ drive from the beach at Torre del Mar. The house sits close to the road so access is easy, with no dirt track. As it has plenty of flowering plants, the road is not very visible from the house, and the gardens have all the necessary ingredients to become a beautiful little oasis.
Entrance is via double gates into a parking area for one car (a second car just fits, by the gate). The usable areas of the plot (around 1000m2) is fenced. A pretty paved area to the front needs just a little bit of love and attention to become very beautiful and a hedge, planted along the northern boundary, which backs onto a track that leads to the neighbouring agricultural store building, (currently used as a workshop), would add beauty and privacy.
The house has a lovely covered terrace wrapped around it on two sides (South and East), a perfect area to enjoy the outdoors, such as outside dining and entertaining. To the rear of the house is a lovely area of garden with a huge carob tree (over 100 years old) providing perfect natural shade and encouraging wildlife. A covered area, open at one end, is ideal for anyone who likes to work on woodwork, etc, and there is also a separate lockable shed.
The front door leads from the covered terrace into a living/dining room (4 x 10m) with a fireplace at the far end for cosy winter evenings. To the right, a door leads into a small kitchen (fully fitted, 2 x 2m) with a bathroom next door with shower (2 x 1.5m).
To the rear wall of the living room, on the North side, are the three bedrooms (two are around 3 x 3m, the other 4 x 3m). It might be possible to sacrifice one of the bedrooms to create a new bathroom and join the current bathroom with the kitchen to make a new, larger, open plan kitchen area.
Casita La Campana is connected to an independent solar power solution which powers the house on a 350 watt inverter. There are air conditioning units, that would run with a generator, but the solar and inverter system could be updated to cover a greater usage of electricity. There are many sophisticated modern systems offering a good independent power supply. The house has mains water.
This little house has the potential to become a perfect little home in the sun at a very affordable price.
