AX1362 – Casa Barnacle, beautiful villa with land, Benajarafe

2 bedrooms – 2 bathrooms – beautiful pool – jacuzzi – sea views – walking distance to the beach – mains electricity – mains water and legal well water – 3771m2 useable, irrigated land

A simply delightful, homely 2 bedroom villa on the coast, with a 35m2 porch enclosed with glass curtains and a spectacular sea view and plenty of land.

Casa Barnacle is situated in an excellent, elevated position, over stunning views of the sea and just a 10 minute walk to the beach and a 4 minute drive.

The house has neighbours close by, but the feeling is one of privacy and countryside, as the property is set in a plot of 3771m2.  A gated driveway used as access for this property and two others, leads up a concrete drive to the house.

The garden terraces
A side gate from the drive and parking area leads to the front terrace and gardens, and immediatley one is struck by the wonderful, open views to the sea.  In front of the house is a large, paved, open terrace with a Cuban palm tree and the magnificent kidney shaped swimming pool (36m2) with steps, takes centre stage.  To one side is a delightful raised, covered ‘chillout’ terrace along with a jacuzzzi and a solar shower.  This is the perfect space to enjoy the views and relax in the shade, watching the family enjoy splashing in the pool.  Around the rear of the raised covered terrace area is a door to a useful bathroom/wet room (2.5m2), as well as a garden store room (11m2).  At the far end is an arbour, leading to steps down a bank to a strip of land overlooking the private field below.  The bank is planted with a variety of flowering shrubs and bushes, and is a riot of colour in the Springtime.

The house
To the front of the house is a 35m2 covered terrace which can be used all year round to relax, entertain and dine, thanks to the quality glass curtains that allow this lovely space to be fully open in the hotter months and completely closed and sealed (also lockable) in the cooler months.  In the Winter, the sun’s rays heat the glass which in turn heats the entire house.

From the covered terrace, double doors lead into a fully fitted and equipped, modern kitchen (14m2).  From here, a brick-decorated archway gives access to the living room (12m2) which also has a woodburner for warm, cosy Winter evenings, which heats the entire house.  A door to the far end of the living room leads into bedroom 1 (10.1m2) with air conditioning (hot and cold) and a window to the front terrace.  A short corridor from the living room leads to bedroom 2 (12.1m2) with a window to the side, and to the bathroom (4m2) with a corner bath with luxury shower.  Adjoining bedroom 2, accessed from outside, is a store room of 8.7m which could potentially be converted into an ensuite bathroom for this bedroom, which would need to incorporate a few steps up to bathroom level.

There are ceiling fans in all rooms except kitchen and bathroom.

Adjoining the house is an additonal store room (5.6m2) and next to it are steps that lead up to a large roof terrace, furnished with sun loungers and a pingpong table, another perfect place to enjoy the views, as well as the stars at night.

The field
Below the main terraces and gardens is a private field on completely flat land.  Access is from the bottom of the drive, as well as from the gardens and it is mainly laid to grass, with a variety of mature fruit trees which include orange, lemon, pomegranate, nispero, custard apple and bananas.  The field has been used in the past by the owners to grow vegetables as the land is rich and fertile and has irrigation water from its own, legal well, with a large water storage deposit.  This is perfect for anyone who wishes to try their hand at self sufficiency and is perfect also for keeping animals.  The space is unusual in any house this close to the coast.

This property, just off the coast, is ideal both as a permanent home and as a successful holiday rental villa.  All documentation is up to date.
