Answered Prayers - Las Cuevas de..

This large, detached, 100 year old, lovingly restored, 3 bedroomed finca is beautifully situated in a secluded and private position, yet still close to all amenities. It is set in mature, well-stocked gardens with automatic watering systems in place and overlooks a riverbed as well as orange and lemon groves.

There are wonderful views of the historic mountain top village of Comares from the back of the property and other areas around the house and land.

This property is in an area known as Las Cuevas de Comares a 45 minute drive from Malaga Airport, 35 minutes to Malaga City Centre (via quickest route), and 25 minutes to the nearest beaches at Torre Del Mar and major shopping areas El Ingenio (large shopping centre between Velez-Malaga and Torre Del Mar).

There are 4 different Villages all with shops and all amenities within a 10 - 15 minute drive in different directions, those being Comares (15), Benamorgosa (10), Riogordo (-10) and Colmenar (15) and as an added bonus is it is within 10 minutes drive of Lake Vinuela with access to water sports (non motorised) fishing, restaurants, walks, horse riding etc.

The land size with the house is approx 5,500 sqm of mostly olive and almond trees, with some other fruit trees and since our ownership 1998 no chemicals, pesticides etc have been used ensuring that the olives, almonds and other fruits are totally organic.

This property and its location make are ideal for those wishing to lead a self sufficient lifestyle, or have a small holding in an area of Spain offering probably the best climate in the world for such a lifestyle.

There is an original bread oven with added brick-built bbq and the original animal store room, usefully converted into a storage room. There is a large patio at the back of the house with a Eucalyptus tree-shaded seating area with wonderful views down the valley. At the front of the house there is sufficient space to park more than fifteen cars.

This house has been totally reformed and updated by the present owners who bought it in 1998 when it was not much mbetter than a ruin. Today after a major investment of love, elbow grease and money by the present owners the accommodation now consists of

a large lounge with traditional Andalusian fireplace fitted with wood burning stove, terracotta tiles and beamed ceiling,

A second lounge where the original manger has been sympathetically restored as a unique storage feature (this 2nd lounge could instead be used as 4th bedroom).

A large farmhouse / andalucian style kitchen with hob, electric oven and dishwasher.

A walk-in storage cupboard leads off the dining room.

A large bathroom, consisting of a separate walk-in shower, full size bath etc.

There are three double bedrooms.

A large entrance hall with a smaller interior hallway.

Many of the rooms feature original beams and cane ceilings. A truly wonderful example of a restored country house but with modern facilities, such as two telephone lines, internet, mains water/electricity satellite TV etc.

The 8 x 4m tiled swimming pool on a lower terrace of land is surrounded by a very large terraced area and the pool area has an independent toilet / changing /store room complete with electricity and fridge. There is more than enough space here near the pool to extend the terrace, create a garden, keep animals etc.

There is a short private track off a tarmac road to access this property and offers complete privacy.

The house is currently mortgaged, which means current (small) mortgage on the property has the possibility of being transferred to new owners (subject to status) or this will be paid off in full at the time of sale.
