A large country house with two separate living units, pool and 1000 productive mangos.

Located in the hills close to the village of Almachar, hidden away, at the very end of a country lane in a secluded location (almost entirely asphalted or concreted), is Finca Tunante.  This country house is currently used as a base from which to work on the finca (the mango farm), which consists of 7600m2 of land planted with 1000 productive mango trees producing an income of around 8,000 to 12,000 Euros per year.   The trees are planted along the lower slopes below the house and gardens, with paths and an access track to easily reach them.

The top house (at pool and upper ground level) is fully habitable and ready to move into, needing only a good clean and a tidy and maybe some redecorating.  It consists of a front door leading into a living room (4 x 3m) with wood burner fireplace, a small, fully fitted kitchen (3 x 2m), three bedrooms (2 x 3m, 3 x 3m and 2 x 3m) and a bathroom (2 x 1.5m) – measurements approximate.  To the front of the house is a large terrace area and the driveway and parking area to one side.

To the side of the house is the pool, which is around 8 x 4m, and in good working order, with a terrace and walkway around it.  From here are magnificent views over the countryside, the village of Almachar and all the way down to the coast, with a strip of the glistening blue Mediterranean Sea on the horizon.  (Distance from the coast: 30 mins, to Almachar: 10 mins).

Walking around to the back of the house, on a lower level, is the basement house which is unfinished.  A front door leads into a long, rectangular room or of around 3 x 14m, with a kitchenette, which could be used for any purpose appropriate for the buyers.  There is WC off this room too.  A doorway half way down on the right leads to a corridor, and this takes us to two bedrooms (5 x 3m and 2.5 x 2m) and a bathroom (3 x 2m), and a kitchen/living room of around 15m2 with a wood burner fireplace.  A side doorway leads out to a terrace area just below the pool, with access to a short passage that leads back to the pool.

Next to the basement house is a large store room (around 4 x 5m) which could be used as a studio, office, activity room or even an extra bedroom, and could easily be incorporated into the inside of the basement house by adding a doorway into the long rectangular hallway.

At the entrance is a very large water deposit to store water for the farm and the buildings, with a capacity of 1.5 million litres, plus there is a possibility to connect to mains water.  There are four wells, and two are legally registered, supplying plenty of water.

This interesting property is perfect for one, or maybe two families, looking for a country property where they can put their own mark and style on the property, and maybe develop the farm.
