2 Bed For Sale Lower Montenegral

This 2 bed rural property is on the market for only 145,000€. Reduced from 190,000€.

The front door is a lovely thick wooden affair which offers immediate charm and is accessed via a few steps which take us in at the first floor level. Once inside the home you are met by a feeling of space. The sitting room and dining room is one large open planned area with stone work wall and, de rigueur, a lovely wood burner for those chilly winter nights. The kitchen is not completely cut off, communicating with the living area via a stylish half wall making it easy to bring plates to and from the kitchen. It is a good shape and size, large enough to fit in that all important kitchen table. The bathroom is also located on this first floor. Upstairs on the second floor are the 2 bedrooms and there is a really large covered terrace where you can socialise with friends and family in fine weather and enjoy the great views. You could also place a day bed there if you wished and sleep there in hot weather.

This is an eco-friendly property with solar panels which offer enough energy for most of the year. There is a diesel-fuelled generator if required in winter. The roof terrace also houses a 1,000 litre tank of water which can be topped up from the well and with a large vegetable patch, fruit trees and hen coop, you can enjoy the simple pleasures of living off the land.

Access to the property is via a double gate and short driveway which also continues around both sides of the house leading to large patio and a charming well. In addition there are irrigation water rights to this rural property. At the back of the plot of land are kennels and a hen coop. These could be kept, or the space converted into stables.

Large Plot with Fruit Trees.

2,700 m2 is big enough to feel spacious but not so large that it is difficult to maintain. Currently there are fruit trees and avocados and the blossom in spring time is an experience that you will never forget. Sheer paradise.

Abrim with potential, this 2 bed, 1 bath rural property is situated within a quarter hectare of land in Lower Montenegral. Surrounded by fruit trees and a large area for growing vegetables. Only 30 minutes from Gibraltar and less than 15 minutes from Sotogrande port and the beaches. It is a real chance to live away from suburbia and yet still be close enough to commute to Gibraltar or Algeciras, for example. The nearest village is San Martin del Tesorillo, with everything on hand from restaurants to drug stores to medical facilities. In the opposite direction lie Jimena de la Frontera and San Pablo del Buceite. Lower Montenegral is part of the municipality of Jimena de la Frontera and the town hall will not give planning permission for a permanent swimming pool. Having said which, portable pools come in a variety of models and sizes and conform with town hall guidelines. They are also extremely easy to put up and take down.

You’ve missed it. Property now sold.

Marchenilla 3 bed 2 bath with Pool and Large Garden

This 3 bed 2 bath is a delightful property located in the little hamlet of Marchenilla off the main Algeciras to Ronda road. The property is set on a plot of land of some 1,000 m2 and the garden includes a small orchard and large swimming pool of approx 5m x 10m. About a quarter of the plot is built on, including an independent studio / workshop the size of a double bedroom.

On approaching the house, the car porch is to your right and beyond this lies the entrance to this inviting home. As you walk in, you notice the wonderful beams and wood burning stove that define the authentic rusticity of this country property. The stylish, open planned sitting room and dining area has an archway leading to the kitchen and another entrance leading onto a closed terrace and out onto an external herb garden and barbecue area. Coming back inside the property, there is a one bed on the ground floor with walk in shower in the en suite. The bathroom’s clever design means it also serves as the guest bathroom when entertaining guests, but without having guests walk into a bedroom to access the cloakroom. Upstairs, you will find the other two bedrooms – all 3 of them are doubles, and there is also a full-sized bath in the shared bathroom. The main bedroom is kept warm in winter because of the pragmatic location of the wood-burner’s chimney breast which allows warm air to circulate. there is also a good sized terrace where you can sit out and admire the view. In summer, you can simply turn on the air conditioning if too hot, or go for a swim in the above average sized pool. A perfect blend of modern living with rural charm.

The Good Life complete with garden produce

Once back downstairs, I was treated to a tour of the garden, complete with honey bees industriously extracting pollen from the fruit trees. There is a lime tree with limes the size of lemons. In addition there are mandarin, orange, grape-fruit, lemon, kum-quat . . . In short, a real cornucopia – including a huge walnut tree and even strawberry plants. If ever you wanted to imbibe of the ‘Good Life’, this is the place to do it. The owners have perfected the art of Mediterranean Gardening and you get the chance to inherit something that has been honed and cultivated over decades. Imagine making quince jelly or lime marmalade. What about red chilli pepper sauce and fresh herbs for home made cooking to entertain friends and family? Cook on the barbecue or in the brand new oven in the kitchen. It really is the little things that make a house into a home.
