Estacion Gaucin Ideal Retreats Casa Rural

December 27, 2021

Reforms Done – Price Correction. 325,000€

Three separate properties located on a plot of land of approximately 1100 m2. There are two houses, both with wonderful sitting rooms and kitchens and a third, smaller, property which can be used for a couple or a single person. In total there are 6 bedrooms and five bathrooms, 2 with baths. There is also an area dedicated to workshops where you can hold yoga or writing retreats and courses, for example. It is a large room with many possibilities.

As you can see from the photos, it has a beautiful eclectic style slightly reminiscent of Gaudi, with the artisan walls and slightly fairy-tale feel. Built in 2004, and currently operating as a rural tourism business. The properties are already registered as a ‘Casa Rural’ which is a requirement in Andalusia when rural accommodation is rented out short term.

Investment Opportunity

If you run activities, from kayaking to bird watching, to dedicated retreats, this is worth viewing. Visitors can land in Gibraltar, get a taxi to the train station in San Roque – La Linea and then be at the property in ten minutes. True, there are very few trains, between two and four per day depending on season, but ideal for travellers and explorers.

Location: Estación Gaucín

Situated five minutes from Gaucín train station in the Guadiaro Valley below the famous hill-top white village of Gaucín. Known correctly as Colmenar de Cortes de la Frontera, but informally as Estacion de Gaucin. This is a wonderful area, bordering the Campo de Gibraltar and Serrania de Ronda and close to many wonderful walks. The location lends itself quite perfectly to writing or yoga retreats for example. The plot is a stone’s throw from the wonderful Guadiaro river. Even in the height of summer there is a good flow of water, coming as it does from the impressive Vulture Canyon, 2 km higher up towards Ronda, which has waterfalls of around 100m deep.

At only 325,000€ why not take a whirl and see if this is the rural setting and business opportunity that you have been looking for?

San Felipe La Linea 3 bed 2 bath

November 3, 2020

Property now sold

La Linea San Felipe 3 bed 2 bath Close to Border

A great opportunity to buy a well located apartment with parking. This 3 bed 2 bath was once a 4 bed but the previous owners changed a bedroom into a dining room making it a much more comfortable property. The sitting room has an area with a bureau used as a study zone and it also benefits from Sevilla tiles in a bay window area and views straight across to Gibraltar and beyond.

Layout of the Apartment

The front door opens into a passage way with kitchen, 2 bedrooms, full bathroom and dining room to the right and third bedroom, shower room and sitting room straight ahead. Imagine a horse shoe shape and it is easier to visualise. All rooms are exterior with natural light except for the bathrooms. One of the 3 bedrooms is currently used as a store room, This room is a double, as is the one next to it, both of which share the full bathroom adjacent to them. The third bedroom could take a 110 cm bed but is best described as a single.

Location

It is literally a stone’s throw from the border with Gibraltar. As such, it is ideal for those of you who work there or have business there which necessitates frequent visits. It is in such a fine location that it may also interest you as an investment for your Rentals Portfolio. Naturally, being so near the airport it will always attract people looking to stay overnight or a few days, tops. AirBnB, Booking.com and Trip Adviser are still buoyant despite the pandemic. In truth, business sets its own pulse. Equally and for the same business pragmatism, it is attractive as a long term let option for your portfolio. Take a look at hotels in La Linea close to Gibraltar to see their popularity. This property is attractive to let either on a shared house basis or the whole apartment. In addition, the communal areas are well maintained. The town centre is ten minutes away, the bus station 5 minutes away, post office and banks are all close by.

Right to Parking Bay in Garage

This property has a parking bay in the basement area of the building. It is bay No. 41. All car owners who live here are not lucky enough to have dedicated parking. A lottery was held and owners allocated bays if their number was chosen. This is a private contract with the community of owners which is assigned on sale of the property. The cost is 45 EUR per month. This is such a great feature.

Costs

The Council Tax is around 450 EUR per year and community of owners fees are low. This is a singular opportunity. Contact us to view now. Oh and did we mention the owner bought it for much more?

San Roque Town Apartment 3 bed

October 16, 2019

Now Sold

San Roque 3 Bed Apartment

Great opportunity to buy this 3 bed bank repo in central location. It consists of a generous sized sitting room with natural light coming in. There are fitted wardrobes throughout 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.

Bank Repossession

There are real advantages to buying a bank repossession. One of them being the possibility of up to a 100% mortgage depending on personal circumstances. The borrower would need to put down 10% of the total loan amount and cover the taxes, land registry and notary fees for the conveyance. However, mortgage set up costs are much cheaper now following a recent change in the law. Just perhaps this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Location- close to park, banks and cafes.

The apartment is within walking distance of everything in San Roque – Your business needs are at hand (e.g. banks, town hall, notary and land registry). Social and cultural amenities are also close by. This is a traditional small town with the majority of the population being Spanish.

San Roque is situated within the Campo de Gibraltar, close to Gibraltar, La Linea and Algeciras. Beaches are no more than 20 minutes away and it is also within easy access of many golf courses.

This property could be a great way to get onto the property ladder or be a possible investment for the long term rentals market.

Spacious ground floor property of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one ensuite. Large separate kitchen which connects to the large sitting room through a serving hatch. The property is 110 m2. In addition, the property has fitted wardrobes and air conditioning. You also have a separate, private, storage facility for garden furniture, bikes etc. The development was constructed in 2003. It has the added bonus of hedges around the private garden making it feel self contained despite all the benefits of a maintained urbanisation. Another plus, is that this area has a fantastic reputation on booking.com! A quick search COSTALITA 2 or COSTALITA II shows fully booked from April onwards. The proximity to the beach and golf are marvellous incentives.

Location Near Estepona Beach

The urbanisation is on the eastern fringes of the municipality of Estepona, in Cancelada, Estepona. This is where the Estepona Golden Mile joins the Marbella Golden Mile. It is also near to all the amenities people look for on holiday. Supermarkets, restaurants etc. In addition it’s not far from some of the famous hillside white villages. Including Casares – birth place of the famous Blas Infante which is half an hour away. The development itself is a safe, closed community. There are 2 gorgeous swimming pools and beautiful communal gardens to walk around at your leisure. The grounds and pool are maintained to a high standard, and it works out much cheaper than a villa’s maintenance costs for example. Plus, do not forget the added bonus of the private, hedged, garden where you can have barbecues, sun bathe on loungers or just sit at the table and enjoy al fresco living. After all, this is the Costa del Sol!

Investment – Year round rentals

The grounds are impecccably maintained and the outdoor pools are an added option if you don’t fancy a (very) short walk to the beach. There are several choices available if interested in this property. You can buy it to live in year round or just for holidays and with an eye on the short term rentals market to cover community of owners fees and your own holidays anywhere in the world! You could also offer it for long term rentals, but it is such a popular setting that it would be a shame not to maximise your own use of this wonderful ground floor apartment with private garden.

Preferential Financial Terms

This bank repossession has great opportunities to get up to a 100% mortgage – depending on if it will be your permanent home and on your own personal circumstances.

Community of Owners Fees TBC.

Hurry. This is already attracting interest.

Enough said. For only 255,000€ you have a very solid investment.

3 Bed Townhouse Estacion Jimena

March 20, 2019

3 Bed town house in Estacion de Jimena

This 3 bed home requires a little reform work to reconnect the whole house. At present there are 2 separate front doors on ground floor level and one of these really, at present, just leads to a large storage room of some 11 m2 x 4 m2. The other front door leads into a decent sized sitting room with 2 double bedrooms to the left accessed separately. The sitting room flows through into the kitchen and walk – in shower room. At the back of the house there is a door to the small ground floor patio and some steps to a first floor patio that also connects to an upstairs room. This upstairs is also accessed via the storage room next door – which could feasibly be converted into separate accommodation or brought back into one family home.

Modern Construction Structurally Sound

The building is of relatively recent construction, approximately 30 years old. At one point, part of the property was rented out to be used as a storage area so they bricked up the access to the upstairs room for security. This can be better understood by visiting it!

Great Price Only 75,000€

This is on the market at a very good price of only 75,000 € Another great fact is it does not require a lot of money to implement the reforms and create a very nice home. It is even possible to create two independent dwellings.

Ideal Location

The train station is within walking distance as is the gym / fitness centre. There is a private health care centre as well in Estacion. This zone of Estacion de Jimena is very popular and has local shops and cafes. The bird centre and animal reserve are also close to hand. Naturally, there are many wonderful walks as you would expect with Los Alcornocales Natural Park on the doorstep.

Gibraltar is approximately 30 minutes away by car.

This property is also keenly priced and located in Estacion and may be of interest to you.

Priced to Sell Estacion de Jimena

November 14, 2018

Off the Market

Priced to Sell 3 bed 1 bath

Great value 3 bed 1 bath village house in Estacion de Jimena. This is on the market for only ====== € keenly priced by a motivated seller.

The layout of the house is as follows: The front door opens out into the sitting room which has been extended to incorporate the ground floor bedroom as if it were a wing. There is also a wood burning stove. It is a delightfully spacious area and the kitchen leads on from this, behind which is the bath room and staircase to the left. The staircase forms a ‘y’ shape with the left side leading to a first floor inner patio and 2 further bedrooms plus walk-in dressing room. The other side of the staircase leads to the old kitchen which could easily be converted into a second bathroom.

Possible Light Reforms

The bathroom currently has a half bath and the water is heated by an electric immersion heater. The half bath can be easily removed and replaced by a walk in shower to maximise space.

The property has original tile-work on the ground floor which is a great feature. The upstairs is partly re-tiled. The walk-in dressing room can be converted to a sitting room which takes advantage of the views over the hillside. Other property owners in this street have extended this area out into a bay window as the balcony is long and about a half metre wide.

The second bedroom looks out onto the inner patio. This is a first floor patio, large enough for a table and chairs for al fresco dining. You could also consider using it to the extend the second bedroom making it a more generous size whilst at the same time preserving the natural light by using a roof window or skylight.

There is plenty of outdoor parking and close to shops and the train station.
