Casa Las Parras, village house, Canillas de Aceituno

4 bedrooms – 3 bathrooms – 2 living rooms – small patio – magnificent roof terrace and views of village, sea, lake and mountains – ‘Airbnb’ unit potential

A very traditional village house, surprisingly spacious (217m2) on three floors plus roof terrace – good potential to live and run an ‘airbnb’ studio in popular walkers’ village – some updating required

Situated in the heart of the very picturesque and lively village of Canillas de Aceituno, in the foothills of the Sierra Tejeda and 30 minutes from the coast, Casa Las Parras is a spacious property requiring a little renovation and modernisation, but totally habitable.

The house is on three floors plus roof terrace, the ground floor with the potential to convert into a separate living unit, and the rest of the house accessible from the first floor upwards.

From the street, the front door leads into a hallway with a staircase to the left and a store room.  To the right is an opening into the spacious lower living room (5 x 4m) with a fireplace, bathroom (3 x 2m) and a door out to a mini courtyard patio (2 x 2m).  This area would work very well as a letting unit (‘Airbnb’ style) to earn a little extra income, from the many tourists and walkers that visit the village all year round.  It would be easy to add a small kitchenette unit to this area and a lockable door from the entrance hall.

The stairs to the left of the hall lead to the first floor, and into the upper living room (4 x 3m) with a pellet stove.  Beyond is a fully fitted kitchen/dining room (4 x 3m) with a door out to a corridor balcony.  Also on this floor is one bedroom (2.5 x 3m) and a bathroom (around 3 x 2m).

Stairs lead from the living room to the second floor, and a short passage leading to three bedrooms (3 x 3m, 2 x 2m with a door to a balcony, and 4 x 3m).    There is also a bathroom on this level (2 x 2m).  A door from a small hallway on this level leads to a small outdoor area housing the washing machine, plus steps leading up to the magnificent roof terrace.

The roof terrace is around 9 x 4m and has panoramic views, taking in the sierra, the village and its beautiful church, the Viñuela valley and the lake, plus several distant villages on the hillsides, and out to the sea.  This is the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors from one’s own home and watch the world!  Ideal for entertaining, barbecues, workouts, and general relaxing.  Next to the terrace, on the same level, is a small kitchen, so meals can be made and drinks served without having to go down to the kitchen.

This delightful property does need a little work and some updating, but is fully habitable.

It has ceiling fans and air conditioning in several rooms.

It is connected to mains water, mains electricity and mains drainage and can be connected to fibre optics.
