Finca – Cortijo in Alhaurín el Grande

This executive family home was built in 2008 and is still in exceptional condition, having been maintained immacuatley. The area of El Salmeron has now been adopted by the municipality of Alhaurin el Grande as an Urban Zone. This is excellent news for value, convenience and overheads as well as maintenance of the area. Even better, the zone in front of this amazing house is a green belt, so will not be built on and allows for uninterrupted views to the mountains and a dramatic sunset ( especially sitting on the raised terrace with a cocktail ).

Walking distance to the pueblo of Alhaurin el Grande, this corner plot offers a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home, with wonderful light and many great open plan spaces for living and entertaining. The living area of the home overlooks the pool on each level. There are colonial style wrap around terraces on all levels.

The suburb is mostly architect designed family and executive houses. The neighbourhood is well lit and constantly maintained.

This Villa has large bedrooms, spacious entry spaces and landings, ample bathrooms and it flows very well from one area to the next: the top floor for sleeping, the ground floor for living and the basement allows for a multitude of options. There is the added bonus of underfloor heating and a full water filtartion system. The lower level would make an amazing games room, storage, self contained apartment or indeed apartments ( with its own access and bathroom already).

The garden is low maintenance with potential for a lot of planting and zoning of the spaces. The roadside has privacy walling, a pedestrian gate and electric gates for the car entry. All of this makes for easy access to the ground floor and kitchen. The abundance of terraces means that the property is so adaptable to many uses, including holiday rentals, a bed and breakfast or indeed, a retreat of some kind.

The outstanding feature here is the swimming pool. We have never seen a proper 20m x 4 m pool in a domestic home in the area. It spans the house and is such a bonus. The pool area could be reimagined to really emphasise the beauty of the garden and view behind. Not only do you have a beautiful garden but a sports facility too.

We love this home for 3 main reasons, 1/ The sheer potential, it has an almost blank canvas to create any style you would like, 2/ The light and scale and 3 / The location and views.

Everyone desires a property within walking distance of town and the abundance of bars and restaurants. Direct access to major roads, the airport only 25 minutes away, as well as the magical city of Malaga. Coin and its excellent shopping is a mere 8 minutes drive too. At the same time, people want space and views. This house has the trifector.

A truly unique and magnificent villa on a 2,000 sq m plot, situated within a beautiful countryside Finca setting, boasting panoramic Mountain, Valley and Sea views.
Also included in the sale is the adjacent, empty approximately 1900 sq m plot of land.

The spacious entrance hall reveals an impressive gallery staircase, highlighting the three floors. Off the entrance hall is a separate WC and under stairs storage space.
Double doors invite you into the large, welcoming lounge and dining area, which is approximate 70m2. Within this space there are two double patio doors and 3 windows allowing plenty of sunlight across the entire area.

Facilities in the lounge include underfloor heating, hot and cold ducted air conditioning and a feature open, working fireplace.

Adjacent to the dining room is the elegant kitchen, with a large centre island and modern appliances.
The kitchen also welcomes plenty of light by means of three double patio doors across the room, all leading to the ground floor Terraces, BBQ area, Gardens, Swimming Pool and a very convenient Utilities area.

From the kitchen you have access to a utility / laundry room, which is fitted with washing machine, tumble dryer, sink, microwave oven and cupboard and shelving units.
Off the first floor landing are two en-suite double bedrooms with terrace, a dressing room, which could be adapted into an office or small bedroom, as well as a separate machinery room housing the electronics that control the home demotic systems

The first of the large double bedrooms has double patio doors leading to the terrace, a Juliette balcony and an additional window. All rooms are bright and airy.
The ensuite includes a bath, separate shower, WC, sink and towel warmer.

From the terrace, take in spectacular views across the well cared for garden, and the mountains and valleys beyond.

The second first floor double bedroom has triple aspect windows with incredible views. The large ensuite has a walk in shower, WC, sink and towel rail.
The recently refurbished adjacent dressing room is fully fitted with shelving, drawers and rails.

From the landing, the wide, spiral staircase continues to the second floor.

There are two big double bedrooms on the third floor, each with their own double patio doors onto a private balcony, as well as an additional window. And, the views are even more breathtaking from this floor, with unbeatable country vistas, and ocean views over Malaga Bay.

Also on the second floor is a very large walk in shower/wet room with sink, be-day and WC and towel warmer.

The Villa is alarmed, and has a demotic home package, which can be controlled from your smart phone.
The principal entrance is through electric gates, and there is ample parking for half a dozen vehicles.

The excellently maintained gardens are set out in various, easily accessible areas. These include a shaded decked area to escape the summer sun, a serene seating area around a small water feature, BBQ area, small herb garden and an olive grove.

Around the house you have expansive terraced areas for all of your entertaining needs, complete with the extensive outdoor lighting and sail shades to keep you cool. The gardens also have an automatic irrigation system throughout.

The 9×4 heated swimming pool has romano steps for easy access to the terrace, a grassed area, the BBQ areas and the kitchen.

The handy, separate utilities area at the back of the property, can be accessed, through gates from the terrace adjacent to the kitchen, or the parking area at the front of the house, this area contains water storage, air con units, and several storage units.

From the swimming pool zone, the footpath meanders through the garden, passing incredible rose bushes, a small herb garden, native trees and bushes, and a bountiful fig tree. And, almost all of the perimeter is protected with striking shades of Bougainvilla.

Pass through an archway, and you enter the spacious, lawned Olive Grove. Also in this locale, is a wooden Casita. It has electricity, air con and lighting, ideal as a summer house, or for hobbies and crafts or a cosy retreat.

The second access to the premises is at the furthest end of the Olive Garden. A double gate allows work vehicles access to the property from the rear.

This remarkable, private home, is beautifully situated amongst picturesque hills, yet less than a 10 minute drive to the nearby bustling high street. Malaga and Mijas are only a 25 minutes drive and Marbella less than an hour. A truly stunning, ‘must see’ property.”
