AX1186 – Villa Coberteras, villa with pool, outskirts of Los Romanes village

6 bedrooms – 4 bathrooms – pool – gardens – conservatory – land with raisin beds – outbuildings ideal for a business – walking distance to the village

An unusual house on the outskirts of the beautiful lake-view village of Los Romanes, with two 3-bed living units, a potential extra 1-bed unit, outbuildings and a garage. Ideal to adapt as a business, perhaps for tourism, yoga, courses/teaching, as a car repair or other similar workshop, or even as private storage units.

Located on the edge of Los Romanes and within easy walking distance from some excellent bar/restaurants as well as the two shops in the village and beautiful walking countryside, this delightful, bright property is surprisingly spacious and with a myriad of possibilities for starting up a business.

The house, located on a very quiet cul-de-sac shared with two other properties, has a gated entrance, leading down a concrete drive to one side of the house, to the garage and outbuildings.  In front of the house is the pool garden, with a beautiful 25m2 pool and sunbathing areas, plus a sheltered, shaded outdoor covered kitchen/bar/barbecue area and pergola dining area.

The main villa
The main house is on one floor, and is modern, bright and light.  Three steps lead to the front covered porch (16m2), a lovely place to relax and enjoy the outdoors in this quiet area on the edge of the village.  From here the front door leads into a spacious, elegant entrance hall (20m2), which is spacious enough to use as an office too.  To the far right, through quality double doors, is the living room (21m2), another bright and spacious room, with a woodburner fireplace.  To the other end of the hallway are doors to three beautiful double bedrooms (15m2, 10m2 and 12m2) with air conditioning, and a comfortable bathroom (7m2) finished in quality tiling and with a corner bath and separate shower unit.

Beyond the hallway to the rear is the kitchen/dining room, also a very good size (23m2).  It is fully fitted and equipped, with solid wood kitchen units and granite worktop, plus a large, walk-in pantry cupboard.  Beyond the kitchen is a large utility and laundry room, with full kitchen facilities (17m2) and sliding doors from here lead out to a lovely open, south-facing terrace (12m2) with beautiful views across the hills and countryside.  It would be perfectly possible to create a second bathroom in this area.

The Lower Apartment
From the kitchen, a door leads to steps down to the lower floor, which offers a completely separate 3 bedroom living unit, which also has its own entrance from outside, along the side concrete driveway. 

This unit of a large conservatory or garden room (28m2) which could be made beautiful, perhaps a jungle of plants, or comfortable furnishings and curtains.  There is a covered dog run within this section which could be maintained or converted back into part of the room.  From here a door leads into a large hallway/dining room (12m2) with doors to the shower room (3m2) and the fully fitted kitchen (9m2).  To the right of the hallway, a couple of steps lead up to the living room (15m2), with a window over the rear patio, and the stairs that lead back up to the villa kitchen upstairs.  At the far end is bedroom 1, a bright, double bedroom (9m2), with window to the South, and at the other end of the living room is bedroom 2 (12m2), currently used as an office, with a window to the side.

Back in the dining room, a door leads out to the rear patio or East terrace (11m2).  Bedroom 3 (10m2) with an ensuite bathroom (3m2) is accessed from this patio.  Opposite is a door to a useful store room (10m).  And a passage leads up the side of the house, passing an extra bathroom (3m2), and through a gate, leading back up to the pool terrace.

The underbuild
Below the lower unit is another unit, currently an unrenovated underbuild and accessed via a small door.  It consists of a room which has plumbing for a bathroom, the basics of a small kitchenette and a door out to a concrete terrace facing south.  This unit has potential to be accessed via a metal staircase from the land.  This area is around 15m2.

The land and outbuildings
To the West side of the villa and on the other side of the driveway are the outbuidlings and land.  The outbuildings consist of several rooms and store areas, including an old kitchen and a fireplace, totalling 130m2.  This area has huge potential for use as a small business, from pottery or craft workshops, to a car repair workshop, or classes, such as language courses, yoga, etc. It could even be converted into safe private lockup storage units, which would be in great demand locally.  Equally, part of the outbuildings could be converted easily into further accommodation.  Beyond, and on sloping land, is a line of ancient raisin beds, used originally to dry the freshly picked grapes to make raisins, and subsequently Malaga wine.  This land could be used to grow fruit trees, vegetables, etc. and there are 20 young mango trees currently planted.

This fascinating property has all the advantages of being in a village, but the peace and tranquility of the countryside or a quiet development.  It is only a short stroll from the well known ‘El Charco’ restaurant and only 25 minutes from the coast, passing through stunning countryside reminiscent of Switzerland.

The property has a tourist licence, for those interested in letting it to tourism.
