Jimena great value village house

February 14, 2024

Traditional Village Town House

Reduced to 46,000 € This property offers very much for very little. A traditional village town house in one of the most popular streets of this idyllic famous white village: Jimena de la Frontera. Currently a 2 bed 2 bath with unused top floor. Ceilings have beams covered with panels that can be easily stripped back.

Layout – 3 Floors

The front door leads straight into the sitting room and a bedroom leads off from that. This bedroom could be combined with the lounge and converted into a large open plan sitting room and even opened into the adjoining kitchen area for a wonderful living area. The ground floor has false ceilings covering up authentic beams and it is a simple job just to take down the panels. There is a bathroom on this level, too. The patio is accessed via the kitchen on the same floor. This area can also be reformed to fantastic effect. There is a clothes sink and washing area currently on this lower patio which could be converted very easily into a barbecue zone. This patio leads to steps and another, raised, area of approx 5m2. This is level with the rooftop skyline and can be modified and extended beyond the house’s new roof to create a large roof garden with decking. These improvements can be done bit by bit, whilst living in the property. One of the loveliest features is the upstairs area which can be converted into 2 or 3 more bedrooms. It has marvellous, high-beamed ceilings and super views.

Minor Reform and Updating Needed

There is so much lost space in this property and yet all of the reforms are of a superficial nature. Non-load bearing walls can be knocked down on the ground floor and stud walls put up on the first floor. Remember, with 2 bathrooms already present this conversion will be fast and offer great returns. This is a dry and well maintained property with only cosmetic reforms needed to update this lovely home. The wiring is old so could do with being upgraded. Ideal second home for holidays or to live in year round. If you are interested in renting it out to holidaymakers we can help you get the necessary licence. Although, as it has little outdoor space it would be more suitable for long term rentals. Please also note that this property will be registered on sale for the first time. As such it is not likely that a bank will give a mortgage on it. Great price and solid opportunity.

Fabrica de Bombas 5 bed Jimena

January 28, 2024

Jimena DLF 5 bed

Price reduced to 490,000 euros. Modern house first built in 1969 and reformed in 1991. Set into the historic walls of a munitions factory from Rey Carlos 111’s era in the 1780’s. The well designed 356 m2 property consists of 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms plus pool and is built on a plot of 475 m2. There is a self contained apartment on each floor, each measuring 160 m2 according to the cadastral reference but the first floor, 3 bed 2 bath, property is larger. Both residences have separate access to the large garden, courtyard and 36 m2 pool.

Ground floor apartment

Airy, open plan living space with wood burning cassette style fireplace. This room leads out onto a large covered terrace and connects to the garden and pool area. The fireplace offers central heating in the winter months, via radiators throughout the accommodation. In the summer, the two bedrooms are cooled by ceiling fans. There is a shared bathroom in this apartment.

Top floor apartment

Spacious, fully fitted kitchen with sparkling views out over the river connecting with an expansive open plan family living space. From here you access a stunning, covered and glass curtained terrace which has views to the river, pool and gardens. There are two double bedrooms, one with en-suite plus a single bedroom and further shared bathroom.

Courtyard, Garden, Pool and Garage

Now and again you come across something seeped in history. That is what we have here. The enclosed courtyard’s 18th century stone walls evoke the times of Carlos 111 and the bickering Europeans fighting over the Americas and Gibraltar. The expansive courtyard has stone flag steps which make you feel you are walking on the ramparts of a bygone age. You are led to a private viewing patio and at the other end there is access to the upstairs accommodation. The delightful mature gardens with their abundance of tropical foliage are a pleasure to behold. And then there is the pool and bbq area where you can just kick back and relax.

Price 490,000 Euros

This structurally sound property offers the possibility of separate quarters for paying or non paying guests. Should you wish, you can combine both floors into a single dwelling. This is a turnkey purchase in the sense that you can buy and move into the accommodation the same day. The property has been reduced to effect a fast sale and to afford the new owners the incentive and funds to update some of the features.

Viewing recommended. But be fast, this will not stay on the market long at this price.

Fantastic Cheap Reform Property San Pablo

January 27, 2024

San Pablo de Buceite

Large, solidly built 2 storey property, originally two village houses combined into one. The house needs a new roof and complete makeover. It is waterproof but has uralite, asbestos laced fibre cement, as most of its roofing. Total built 146 m2, plot size 173 m2. Originally built in 1965 and then reformed in 1988. There are 2 kitchens, 2 or 3 sitting rooms and 3 or 4 bedrooms. There is also a small patio that can be enlarged by knocking down the 2 storage rooms.

Fantastic Price 35,000 euros

This can be yours for only 35,000 €. The house is an inheritance property and the title deeds of inheritance have just been prepared at the notary. The next stage is paying for these and then registering the property at land registry for the first time. To achieve this, the Buyer needs to pay approximately 30% deposit direct to the notary and then once updated the sale can complete.

Provenance guaranteed

The property has been in the same family since it was built almost 60 years ago and the inheritance document guarantees full ownership in beneficiaries. The council tax is approximately 170 euros per year. Electricity and water meters need reconnecting.

Looking for a Project …

If you fancy taking on a project, this will convert to 3 or 4 apartments for a rentals portfolio or can become a spacious family home for the resales market.

Location Los Alcornocales

San Pablo de Buceite grew from families building their own homes on fields that belonged to Larios the gin people and Cañada Real. Originally without proper papers, as the townsfolk increased in prosperity and time advanced onwards, the properties became legalised and urbanised under town hall ordinances. The village is small – maybe 1,900 inhabitants. Many work on the coast or are local tradesmen. Situated 15 minutes in car from the historic white village of Jimena de la Frontera in the direction toward Gaucin. At 45 minutes from the coast and an hour to Gibraltar this inland village has held onto all of the charm of old Spain. It is largely middle class with a good standard of living and is located within the municipality of Jimena de la Frontera. As rentals on the coast and in the historic village of Jimena shoot up in price, more and more families are now relocating here and commuting to their place of work. This is a good opportunity as the area around Jimena expands – including the 5 start hotel currently being constructed. All that you need is here from hairdressers to tapas bars, restaurants, a health centre and pharmacy. The locals have a book swap club and are keen environmentalists. Living among the green hills of the Los Alcornocales Natural park, they are conscious of how important a role Nature plays, but also like to enjoy the 3 course meals at great restaurants for 11 euros a head including drinks.

This bungalow can be extended at the back towards the river and another floor added. The garden is five to six times the size of the house and has a barbecue area, swings and slide, plus pool and private access to the Guadiaro River – the largest and purest in Andalucia.

Garden with pool and river beach

Exceptional opportunity to buy a lock up and leave property for weekend breaks or to rent out as a ‘vivienda rural’ for holiday makers. The cottage is lovely. It has a cosy fireplace, a portable oven and a two burner hob. The bedroom has a large double bed and bunk beds and the en-suite with quarter bath is quirky yet functional.

There are also sun loungers underneath the shade of the trees and another bbq zone with wood and charcoal. There are parasols to protect from the heat and an inflatable kayak to launch from your own private mooring. Adventures aplenty beckon.

Location – Cortes de la Frontera

This is in the zone known as Cañada Real del Tesoro, near the railway station. There aren’t many trains only four per day; two in each direction so a vehicle is a must. The turn off for Cortes DLF is only five minutes outside of Gaucin then comes a leisurely 230m meander which takes about 10-15 minutes. It is steep and whirly, but beautiful. The property is in the valley near shops and a school and alongside the Guadiaro river, not many kilometres from the famous Cañón de las Buitreras. This is a fantastic area for country rambles and bird watching. Switch off from the pressures of life and recharge the batteries. Ronda, the ‘big city’ in these parts, is 45 minutes away and somewhere well worth a visit.

Great Price Turnkey Property

~~89,000~~ € 75,000.gets you a fully furnished 1 bed 1 bath with large garden and private river beach with ‘launch pad’ for kayaks.
