Chalet 10 rooms, Comares

Welcome to this beautiful old Andalusian country house in the hamlet of Llano Almendra in Comares, surrounded by views of the mountains that offer protection from the rare windy winter days, making it a secluded and sunny spot. This fully-fenced and gated, south-facing property, is one of the oldest properties in the area (some 300 years old), tucked away along a small path leading from the edge of the village to a riverbed which is dry in summer and used by the local shepherd to walk his goats. This characterful property overlooks fantastic orange and lemon groves, dotted with avocado trees. The citrus scent of the orchard is part of the charm of staying at the mansion.

Having been used as a family home for many years, it has been sympathetically restored and updated while retaining its original charm and character.

This enchanting old property, offers a unique experience for those seeking tranquillity and authenticity.

Once through the estate's gated entrance, you are transported to another world. The estate was formerly used to house animals, store olives and hay, and provided shelter to farmers and their families. On entering the estate you walk along the covered, airy terrace, enjoying the view of the pool just below, on your right. It is an ideal place to unwind

There is also a fantastic barbecue on the spacious, covered terrace where you can listen to the goat bells in the evening, and if you're quick enough, walk down to the riverbed, where you can catch a glimpse of the herds of goats on their evening walk. It's pretty magical!

The beauty of this estate is its rural location and all that comes with it, but at the same time easy access to great local villages and landscapes. The locals in the surrounding villages are very welcoming and will be happy if you can (or try to!) speak a little Spanish.

Apart from the main house, there are also three independent dwellings. The first offers a cosy one-bedroom casita, complete with a private bathroom and a well-equipped kitchen. The second dwelling is more spacious with three bedrooms, a bathroom, lounge/dining room with a fully equipped kitchen.

The third dwelling on this level is the main farmhouse with its fully covered terrace, which not only provides much-needed shade, but is also ideal for outdoor seating or dining on those rare rainy days. This area has ample seating and dining space ideal for large parties. From here you enter the farmhouse where you step straight into the kitchen, which is the heart of the house with its double Belfast sinks, cooker with double-oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, microwave and wood-burning stove. There are two further separate rooms leading directly from the kitchen. A few steps down from the kitchen is the large family bathroom, which was once the goat shed. This has a bathtub, toilet, bidet, sink and separate shower. Up a flight of stairs is a double bedroom, originally the old hay-loft. Then, from a small landing, the spiral staircase leads to a further lounge area. From here you can enter the very spacious master bedroom with walk-in dressing room, en-suite bathroom with shower over the bath, bidet, sink and toilet. This bedroom has double doors opening onto a large private, partially shaded, thermal sun terrace.

Externally, steps to your right lead down to a further property, just off another large terrace, which is currently used for storage, but would be ideal for conversion to a further casita.

Finally, at the end of the terraces, accessed through a gateway and up a flight of stairs, sits a detached house offering two bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen/diner and large lounge with log-burner, with an outdoor, fenced area. This property is also accessed via its own, gated driveway, making it an ideal option for those looking for a separate dwelling

Welcome to this versatile estate, which comes with so much potential for rentals or retreats, and offers a myriad of opportunities for new adventures , a new lifestyle, it's time to explore and relax!
