Country house 197 m², Destriana

An exquisite, unique country home in a small hamlet with beautiful views and rustic style throughout, offering a chance to live and earn an income from tourism. Excellent fibre optics internet, unusual for the countryside.

Located within walking distance of the village of Triana and within 15 minutes of the coast, Casa Vida Sana is an immaculate, attractive, rustic style property bursting with beauty, serenity and original charm.

The house is accessed from a communal car park, down a series of steps that form the main street within the hamlet, or parking is possible at the bottom, with just a short walk up to the house. The hamlet is made up of a little group of very beautiful, rustic buildings, with gardens, with a beautiful view across the hills, countryside and mountains.

Casa Vida Sana is built on three floors, around gorgeous, mature gardens and consists of the following elements:

Garden
To the front of the property are gardens with a path overlooking beautiful views. This area of garden is part of the common area in the hamlet but is used and looked after exclusively by the owners of this property. Above, just off the path, an arched entrance leads onto the garden terrace. One feels the charm and character of this unusual property from the moment one steps onto the terrace. In the gardens are beautiful flower beds, home to a huge variety of tropical and flowering plants. There is also a semi circular area cut into the rock on one side which is perfect for locating an above ground pool, or a built pool. Formerly there was a pool here (ask us for a photo).

Main house
The main house is on two floors. From the patio terrace, a door leads into a very large kitchen/dining area (22.6m2) with a modern kitchen at one end and a dining area at the other plus hot/cold air conditioning. There is access to a bodega and a bathroom to the far left (around 9m2) with rustic tiling, a huge walk-in shower and under floor heating. To the right, a door leads into the living room with a woodburner. This room is laid out around a central pillar, with a series of arches dividing it into two sections, such that it is possible to walk in a circle around all parts. This allows the space to be divided into areas, such as a relaxation area, a reading area, dining area, etc. It also has plus hot/cold air conditioning.

Stairs lead to the first floor, onto a landing (5m2). From here is access to two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first bedroom is a generous 15m2 and has beautiful arch-shaped windows framing the beautiful views. It also has hot/cold air conditioning. The bathroom is accessed from just outside the bedroom door and can therefore serve as both an ensuite bathroom for this bedroom and for general access from the landing. Bedroom 2 is a single bedroom (8.24m2) currently used as an office, with a ceiling fan and has an ensuite wash room (a shower could be added by taking a small corner of the next door covered terrace).

A door from this bedroom leads out to the central covered terrace (around 13m2) with lovely views over the countryside. There is a washing machine and hot water boiler installed in this area. From here there is also access to the roof terrace and also alternate access to the upper apartment.

Upper Apartment
The upper apartment can be accessed from the main garden terrace, up a series of steps to an open area with a useful store shed and flower beds. From here, a door leads into the main room, which includes a kitchenette and dining/living area (18m2) plus hot/cold air conditioning. A door to the right leads into the bedroom (11m2) with a beautiful arched window over the views and built-in wardrobes, plus an ensuite shower room (2.33m2). A door from here leads out onto the central covered terrace and also to the roof terrace.

Above the upper apartment is a useful store room with metal stairs for access.

Lower Studio Apartment

There is air conditioning throughout the house, except for upper apartment.

This unique and unusual property, only a few minutes walk from Triana village and its bars and shop, has worked well for the current owners both as a home and with rental units for tourism. Due to its layout, it is possible to let out the two apartments, or the upper apartment together with the main house, making it very flexible.
