Description:

Casa Arriba del Lago is a beautiful country house with stunning views, set among olive groves at the end of its own private drive. The property is located in extensive grounds near Alcaucin, giving it not only unrivalled sea and mountain views but also fabulous views of nearby Lake Vinuela.
Access is via the drive, equipped with automatic gates; there is extensive parking in front of the house, as well as an adjoining garage with electric door. The property is traditonally-Spanish in appearance with whitewashed exterior and terracotta-tiled roof and is entered via stone steps straight into the fully-fitted kitchen, with tiled floor and wooden beams throughout. Through a charming brick arch is a breakfast bar and beyond, the main living-area, with dining-area at one end and living-room at the other. This is a breathtaking space, with high ceilings and feature lightwell filling the rooms with natural light, and it benefits from a large open fireplace and tiled floor throughout. In addition there is a charming wrought-iron spiral staircase leading to an overlooking galleried area above, for use as further living-space or an office/library. From this level there is access to an outside terrace extending the length of the property and also access to the master suite, with stunning mountain views, built in wardrobes and its own ensuite bathroom with separate bath and shower.
The property has four bedrooms and three bathrooms in total, of which the remaining three bedrooms and two bathrooms are located beyond the living-room on the ground floor level. Of these, one has an ensuite bathroom and another has access to an outside ground-level terrace, with steps down to the garden. All bedrooms have air-conditioning, heating and ceiling-fans. There is a shower-room adjacent.
The external areas of the property are accessed from the ground floor living space, with doors leading to a conservatory and beyond this a terrace area, with flexible awnings above. The gardens are reached down stone steps, as is the attractive swimming-pool, with steps down into the water and large surrounding terrace. Next to this is a BBQ terrace complete with electricity, lighting, a built-in oven and awnings/cover providing ample protection from the sun. Beyond this, the extensive gardens and olive groves extend in all directions.
There is extensive storage available, with a large space below the house and additional space above the garage. The house occupies 200m2, in total grounds of 5430m2, with an undercroft of 135m2. The garage occupies 21m2.
This property would be perfect for someone wishing to keep horses with plenty of space for stables and excellent local riding.
