This stunning cortijo, lovingly constructed by the current owners, is situated above the village of Berchules. It has outstanding views along the valley with the Mediterranean Sea in the far distance. The surrounding plot of land is perfect for cultivation, being gently sloping and having an abundant water supply.   The property, approximately 12 years old, is typically rustic in appearance but constructed to very high modern standards having wall, floor and roof insulation, double glazing throughout and a solar power system.   Berchules is only a ten minutes’ drive via, a well-maintained, wide track and concrete road, easily reachable by a standard car. Through double iron gates is a large parking area at the side of the cortijo. The main entrance leads into a small welcoming hall, then through to a beautiful, very spacious lounge. This features a rustic fireplace with a built in wood burner that circulates warm air, via vents into the lounge and kitchen. The kitchen features beautiful traditional style wall tiles and is fitted with bespoke wooden units, marble worktops, a large larder/ storage unit and modern appliances. Wood panelled and beamed ceilings are fitted throughout the property.   There are three/four bedrooms of which, two are doubles with built in wardrobes. The larger main bedroom has built in wardrobes and a wood burner to one corner. The forth smaller bedroom has plumbing installed so could easily be converted to an extra bathroom or ensuite to the main bedroom. The bathroom has a shower, wc and wash basin. There is also a small utility room with wash basin and storage.   Outside to the front a beautiful slate tiled terrace runs the length of the property then continues as a pathway around the building. A large stone clad wood store is located at the rear of the property. This offers ample storage, a generator room and a cloakroom with wc and hand wash basin.   The large water balsa has irrigation pipes to various areas of the land that as previously stated is perfect for cultivation.   The property is connected to mains water and has solar power.   This is an opportunity to purchase a very special property situated in a peaceful, tranquil position with spectacular views and reasonably close to the nearest village.   If you don’t know this area well, why not take a look at our exposure guide on the Alpujarras in the Area Guide section above (next to Overview).
