Reformed 5 bedroom cortijo – La Perla, Arboleas  

This property has most definitely not been a quick reform project aimed to be turned around at speed on a basic budget for fast financial gain.

The transformation has been carefully and thoroughly modernised and developed as well as being a family home for the past 5 years.

When entering through the electric gates the larger than average two storey white-washed cortijo is an impressive sight set back at the end of the driveway.

With a history of over 200 years the house is now fully modernised and reformed including a new roof, electrics, plumbing and oil powered central heating in all rooms. The work has been carried out by a local, established and respected builder that has lived and worked in Spain for the past 10 years and also happens to be the current owner.

Although the property is fully habitable, boasting 5 bedrooms, guest accommodation and extensive living accommodation both internally and externally there is still scope for new owners to tweak and change the layout to provide more bedrooms and en suite bathrooms should they wish to.

The ground floor of the property is of traditional cortijo design comprising an entrance hall off which there are 2 double size bedrooms and a 30m² reception room of living and dining areas with log burning stove.

To the rear of the reception room is the large fully fitted kitchen with white goods including double oven and 8 ring cooker, extensive storage space and a separate utility room. Doors open from the kitchen to the courtyard, storeroom, pool and gardens.

A second entrance hall and large bathroom with corner bath, separate shower cubicle, toilet and basin complete the ground floor layout.

The first floor comprises master bedroom that runs almost the full width of the property with feature sloping ceiling and wooden shuttered windows; two further double bedrooms off which there is a terrace overlooking the swimming pool and surrounding countryside; and finally a grey slate tiled bathroom with double width glass block shower, toilet and sink.

A guest caseta comfortably provides accommodation for 2 people in the double bedroom as well as there being an open plan lounge-diner-kitchen with patio doors providing views of the pool and gardens; and a good size bathroom with shower, toilet and basin.

Externally there are many features and components completing the extensive package that the house offers. To the front of the plot there is a garage with water and electric; extensive parking area and terrace.

To the rear of the property there is an 8 x 4m swimming pool; pergola covered seating & dining area; 4 x 2m shed; hot tub; the guest accommodation and a plot of land suitable for use as a vegetable garden.

The house is within walking distance of the village of Arboleas where you will find shops to cover all basic day-to-day needs as well as several bars and restaurants, hairdressers and schools.

Arboleas is only a 30 minute drive from the coast and wonderful beaches of Vera, Garrucha and Mojácar. With easy and quick access to the A7/E15 motorway Almería and Murica airports are only 60 and 90 minutes respectively and Alicante at 2 hours.
