Casa para comprar en Montefrio, Andalusia

This incredible property is a traditional style farmhouse completely re-built and designed for modern living for those who seek a tranquil location. Occupying an elevated position with the most amazing panoramic views the property sits on a fully fenced 13,000 m2 plot of land with olive and almond trees. The 'cortijo' is fully legal and was built to provide a substantial home and business with large open plan living, a large double en-suite bedroom on the ground floor and three further large double en-suite bedrooms on the first floor. There is also a separate building close to the house currently used as a private gym, but suitable for a large office, yoga or treatment room. All with unobstructed views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Situated in this amazing landscape the original farmhouse was completely re-built, with full planning consent, by the present owner in 2004. Although the old building had great views and charm it also had typically small rooms and small windows very much in keeping with the past but not ideal for modern living. What you see today still looks charming and traditional from the outside, blending in perfectly with it's rural surroundings, however on the inside we are most certainly in the 21st century. A full concrete driveway leads from the 'A' road conecting the National Geographic award winning Montefrio and Tocon (both just a short drive away) through olive and almond groves to the gated entrance and fully fenced plot of 13,000 m2. The farmhouse sits in a commanding position on the upper part of the land and has a full width paved terrace outside the ground floor rooms providing an amazing place to sit and relax whilst enjoying unobstructed panoramic views of all the mountains from Parapanda, passing the Sierra Nevada all the way around to the Sierra Almijara and La Maroma. The aspect is south facing ensuring great light and sunshine at all times of the day. Arriving at the property from the large car parking area there is a covered patio which is properly constructed like the house. This area has a door leading from the patio into the rear of the kitchen. Entering the property by the main front door there is a staircase with wooden edged terracotta steps leading to the first floor and a doorway leading into the ground floor open plan kitchen and dining area. This area has a large pair of glazed wooden doors opening up from the dining area onto the large terrace. The kitchen has a range of craftsman built wooden base units topped with a polished concrete 'L' shaped work top with inset stone circular sink. The worktop provides both a large preparation area and a breakfast bar for the lounge area. There is an integrated electric oven and gas hob. There is also a larder plumbed for an automatic washing machine, room for a large fridge/freezer and the door leading out to the side covered terrace. Beyond the kitchen which is separated by a built plaster shelving unit is the lounge with an in-built woodburning fire and another set of glazed wooden doors which also lead onto the front terrace. This very spacious room, like the kitchen, is topped with a beamed wooden ceiling which is painted white to create the brightness this space provides. Off the lounge is a separate cloakroom/WC and a large double en-suite bedroom which again has a pair of wooden glazed doors leading out onto the terrace. The bedroom is dual aspect with windows on two sides and has a charming shower room with dual vanity sinks. This room has previously been used by the owner as his personal bedroom, whilst the bedrooms on the upper floor were occupied by paying guests. At the top of the terracotta staircase is a bright corridor with its light wooden beamed ceiling and access the the three large double en-suite guest rooms. All three rooms have their own private balcony with table and chairs and an en-suite shower room. The views from this elevated position are outstanding with the balconies providing an amazing place to have morning coffee or a nightcap whilst star-gazing or taking in the lights of Granada city by night. The corridor also has an outside door giving guests a separate access from the car parking area into the accommodation. The car parking also leads from the house along a stone and herb bordered path to the gymnasium/exercise building. At the front of the farmhouse and set below the main terrace there is access via a concrete path to a lower covered large terrace where there is currently an above ground pool and build seating areas for relaxing and socialising. The house is connected to mains electricity, it also has solar panels for hot water and has a private water deposit which is filled by both recycling rain water from the property's roof and the land. This fabulous property has all paperwork in order including the plans and permission to build and has a certificate of 'primera ocupacion' necessary for living after recent construction.
