description

Located near the village of Albondón in a small hamlet is this traditional cortijo, sympathetically reformed to a good standard. There are beautiful views of the Alpujarras with the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.    The cortijo is about a five minute drive inland from the village which is in turn around a twenty-minute drive from the coast. This property has easy access via a concrete track, 1km from the road, by car. To the front of the house is a spacious terrace surrounded by a traditional stone wall. Part of the terrace is covered and has a stone-built barbeque. To the side of the property is another sunny terraced area set on three levels with fantastic views and a small storage building. There is also some land with a few Almond trees.   The front entrance leads into an open plan dining / kitchen area. To the left of the dining area there are two bedrooms, the front is a double and has a window facing south. Between the bedrooms is a feature wall with opaque glass blocks inset allowing light to the other room which has formerly been used as a walk-in dressing room but is now used as a fourth bedroom. To the rear of the dining room is a family bathroom with a bath, basin, wc and access to a wet room with shower.   The kitchen has a beamed ceiling and a window with views of the mountains and the sea in the distance. It has fitted units including an oven and hob. There is space for a washing machine and other appliances.   Through the kitchen and up a couple of steps is a spacious living room also with a beamed ceiling. There is a wood burner and a half glazed door leading to the side terraced area. Continue through this room and there is a wooden floored passage with access to two further bedrooms, one with a window. Through the passage and feature doorway is a further family bathroom, fully tiled with a walk-in shower.   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).
