AX1464 – Casa del Rio, rustic country house, hidden in the countryside, Benamargosa/Riogordo area

2 bedrooms – 1 bathroom – rustic style throughout – plot of 4930m2 – house 174m2 total build size

A most charming, rustic and original country house hidden in a quiet river valley in beautiful countryside, fully habitable but needing some updating and renovation

Hidden in the river valley, Casa del Rio is a charming, rustic hideaway just waiting to be rediscovered and loved.

The house is located at the end of a reasonable track that is not too long, with a private driveway leading to a parking area and the house.  There is a lovely front patio terrace with beautiful views of the fruit tree orchards along the river bank and mountains beyond and it is totally peaceful.  There is land here, to be discovered and anyone wishing to grow trees or experiment with a Mediterranean country garden will love this serene little property.

Inside, the side door leads into the rustic kitchen, with cobbled stone floor and rustic kitchen units.  To one side is a door to a store area that needs renovation and could be useful extra space within the house, such as another bedroom or a utility room.  Beyond the kitchen is an inner hall, with stairs that lead up to the upstairs bedroom, and it also leads through to the living room, with original double wooden doors and a cosy wood burner, the bathroom with walk-in shower, and the downstairs bedroom.

This lovely house has sloping ceilings with wooden beams and rustic cane infill, thick walls, alcoves, beautiful floors and extra storage areas adjoining the house on both sides.

The property is only a few minutes (walkable) from a local country bar/restaurant, is 10 minutes from Riogordo town and 15 minutes from the the village of Benamargosa.  It is within 40 minutes of the coast.

If you are looking for somewhere original in the countryside, that is habitable and yet needs some improvements, then this place is the one for you!  And its very affordable price has been set to allow most people extra money in the budget to bring this lovely, historic little cottage back to its former glory.
