Country Property Jimena DLF

March 1, 2022

Country Home with Garden

You can benefit from the thought put in to the design and the quality of the materials used which are sympathetic to the environment and in keeping with the area. There is an inner courtyard of approx 4m x 4m. Around this is built the house. Ideal for families with main bedroom having its own en suite bathroom and the other 2 bedrooms sharing a further bathroom. The design is rather like a square within a square.

Family Home

The house consists of 4 bedrooms (the one on the first floor currently used as an office and a photography studio and dark room), 2 bathrooms (1 en-suite), a living room with wood burning stove, kitchen with dining area, larder, utility room and a beautiful inner courtyard in the centre of the house. The garden and terrace are south facing overlooking the spectacular mountains of Los Alcornocales and Jimena de la Frontera.

Location and Plot Size

Designed and built by the current owner in 1999 and located a mere 2 minutes from the historic village of Jimena de la Frontera. The property is gated and with easy access via a tarmacked road. The title deeds show 3 hectares of land – which was the metres required to be able to build in a rustic area. In truth, the property sits in a plot of 1,800 m2 and steep mountain scape immediately beyond that.

Stables and Arena

Currently, there are stables for 2-3 horses and an arena or manége at the rear of the property, – an equestrian area that the horse and rider use to exercise and train in – which could be converted into other uses.

Property Maintenance and Infrastructure

The property benefits from good maintenance and infrastructure. The grounds are fully fenced and there is a security alarm fitted. There is a well with pump and water tank, triple fase electricity supply for higher voltage distribution. (It stops the supply tripping if there is a sudden surge in power demand at the same time.)
