A lovingly restored detached watermill..

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a 200 year old mill house steeped in history that has been sympathetically restored retaining mainly original features and also encompassing the needs and comforts of modern day living.

Set on a plot of 5,500m2 in open countryside with panoramic views of Mojacar Pueblo, Sierra Cabrera and fruit groves, the mill is full of charm and character built on five levels with 2 floors below ground making it an extremely solid building.

The main entrance to the property is via large timber double doors opening in to the original milling room with high beamed ceiling and original stone floor that is now an open plan fully fitted kitchen / dining / living room. Two bedrooms with original vaulted ceilings and guest w.c. complete the ground floor.

Moving up just a few steps from the kitchen there is a reception room with log burning stove; a double bedroom; large family bathroom with bath, separate shower, toilet and basin; hallway with access to an external part covered terrace with wonderful views; and steps leading to the main living room. All of these rooms have the original featured style of beam and cane ceilings.

The main living room with wooden floor and sloping beamed ceiling benefits air conditioning. On the same level as the living room there is a large air conditioned master bedroom with built in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with bath, separate shower, toilet and basin. Off the bathroom there is an attic room currently used as an occasional fifth bedroom and storage room.

Adjacent to the mill there is a 50m2 workshop with water and electricity supplies that could be developed in to self-contained accommodation or used as it is now as a fully operational workshop.

The property benefits mosquito screens, rejas, satellite television, telephone and internet connections.

A portion of the land has been developed in to a “Summer Garden” with an above ground 11 x 5m swimming pool and terraces part covered with a gazebo. The remainder of the land has many different types of fruit trees and has water rights ideal for irrigation.

At the time of adding the property to our portfolio the 30m2 room below the kitchen was being developed for potential use as another reception / entertainment room or bar. The family deliberations were not complete!

El Molino (The Mill) is situated a short drive from the traditional working village of Antas where you will find all amenities including shops, banks, doctors, chemist, bars & restaurants and the weekly Monday market. The village also has a nursery, primary and secondary schools which are served by the bus service with a bus stop 500 metres from the house.

The wonderful beaches of Mojacar, Garrucha and Vera are only a short drive and the A7/E15 motorway provides easy access for airport transfers in Almeria, Murcia and Alicante.
