Villa for sale in Cómpeta

Description

A one of a kind magnificent property, of a quality and type that very seldom becomes available has just now come to the market. Nestled above the wonderful mountain town of Competa, which is the commercial and cultural centre of the Sierras of the Axarquia.

The house is just 500 meters from the town with two different approaches. From its elevated position it enjoys the most glorious views imaginable across the mountains in all directions. Naturally south facing, the main view from the terraces sweeps down the valley to the mediterranean, and when dusk finally comes the atlas mountains of Africa are just visible in the far distance.

The house itself is surrounded by mature gardens with a vast array of trees shrubs and flowers, which have been lovingly planted and cared for over the last 30 years. Everywhere you look is a delight to the eye. The whole garden is of course automatically irrigated. In addition to the garden there is a carefully laid out organic section that has supplied the owners with a wide variety of fruit and vegetables all year round.

Having seen the gardens and the views,one could be forgiven for thinking that all the love and attention to detail had been lavished on the outside, but nothing could be further from the truth. The house is both bright and airy as well as being warm and cosy, a seemingly contradictory state of affairs that is a testament to the skill of the architect and the taste of the owners. At ground floor level there are several lounge/salons that open onto each other and onto the kitchen and dining room, creating a free flowing space throughout, with easy access to the terrace and gardens.

The basement has lots of storage space and is equipped as a very spacious wine cellar. The bedrooms are spacious and bright and all the rooms have plenty of natural light. The property has its own well with more than sufficient flow for the house and gardens all year round, this is supplemented by a water deposit built underneath the outside garden terrace that collects rainwater from the house and terraces. Another notable feature is that the owners insisted when the property was being built that it be super insulated which keeps the house cool in summer and snug in winter.m The house`s heating and cooling is via a state of the art underfloor system which maintains the house at the desired climate all year round.

And showing the same foresight, the aviary, at 50 square meters was designed in such a way, and with all the services, that it can be readily altered with minimum effort into guest or service accommodation.

The pool is 20 meters long and features a waterfall and a bridge!

A special property for a special purchaser.
