Jimena Reform Family Home

November 19, 2021

Price reduced to 75,000€

Reform into 2 properties

This is a large village terraced house that can be accessed via 2 different streets. Interestingly, the upper part is accessed both by the front door, leading through the house and exiting at the first floor or from the back lane to ascend the exterior staircase to the third floor and can easily be converted into a 2 bed 1 bath or open planned loft style studio which could look amazing. The downstairs has a sitting room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a shower room. There is a room which you walk through to get to another bedroom which was a bedroom originally. It may make more sense to convert this space into a bedroom with shower room and walk in wardrobe.

Large Family Home

Unify the third floor with the other 2 floors and you have a lovely, large family home. There is a tiny inner courtyard that offers natural light on the ground floor at the back of the house. You can look down on this area from the first floor exterior patio. The inner natural light could be kept with glass bricks for example and adding a supporting beam this would create a first floor terrace for meals and sunbathing. As mentioned, the third floor could be incorporated into the main building and it would convert the home into an inviting four bed 3 bath which could be marketed for around 250 – 300,000 € depending on how it was done and the finishings used.

Very Interesting Investment

At present this property can be bought for only ~~80,000€~~. 75,000€ Spend the same again and you have an investment that has created extra value and equity in the property. This can be kept as a large family home or split into two separate houses; one a starter home and the other a modest family home for a young family. The best views are from the loft area.

Upper Zone Jimena de la Frontera

Jimena DLF is a small town of approximately 10,000 inhabitants in the village itself and a further 3,000 in outlying districts. There is a huge amount of history – from Neolithic, Romans, Moors, Christians and the present day population of largely Spanish and some 10% non Spanish from Rumania, Britain, Morocco and Northern Europe for the main part. A happy and welcoming community with historic castle and wonderful rambling routes through the Los Alcornocales Natural Park and along the river Hozgarganta – one of the 2 main arterial rivers in this part of Andalusia.

Tarifa Near Beach and Restaurants

November 2, 2021

Price Reduced to 360,000€

Tarifa Old Town 3 bed 2 bath

A 2 bed 1 bath first and second floor apartment plus 1 bed 1 bath ground floor apartment with storage area for sale for ~~380,000€~~ 360,000€. These 2 terraced properties are next door to each other and can be connected by relocating the staircase to lead from the ground floor property to upstairs. There is also a roof top terrace of approximately 45m2 that can be converted into a wonderful garden and chill area.

Change of Use Possible

The ground floor property shares a wide communal interior patio with two other apartments where you can place a table to eat al fresco. You may prefer to keep both properties separate but the owners have asked that both be sold in the same lot. A further possibility is to change the use from residential to business for the ground floor property and cater to the vast array of tourists who visit the area all year round.

Light Reforms Recommended

The property will benefit from a few changes. Perhaps the large kitchen on the second floor could be converted into a further bedroom and a galley kitchen added to the first floor sitting room area. There is real potential to add extra value by redesigning one or two rooms and unifying the ground and upper apartments. This could double the equity.

Wonderful Location near Beach and Restaurants

These two properties are in the heart of Tarifa Old Town, close to the theatre, restaurants, tapas bars and the beach. The ferry terminal is also within walking distance. These homes are a great investment, either blended into one property or kept independent of each other, with 2 title deeds and 2 front doors. In addition, as an investment opportunity the ideal location makes the short-term-lets’ market a further possibility.

Los Altos de Valderrama 4400 m2

October 15, 2021

Large Villa in Large Plot Sotogrande Alto

Keenly Priced 800 m2, 5 bed 6 bath property set in large 4,400 m2 plot in Los Altos de Valderrama, Sotogrande. This property is on the market at a fantastic price considering the plot size. The location is quite simply ‘second to none’.

Interior and Exterior Living

Designed with a divine inner patio that gives access to the kitchen and sitting room / dining areas, it forms the heart of the house and is a charming reminder that Sotogrande has a privileged climate where the outside is as important as the inside for year round living.

Affordable Property in large plot

This affordable property is located in Los Altos de Valderrama, one of the most exclusive areas of Sotogrande. Some light reforms would further enhance this beautiful villa. The location, set in a cork oak forest on the edge of Valderrama Golf Course, is quite perfect. The mature gardens and almost colonial landscaping are unrivalled and make this a very inviting opportunity. This large plot is quadruple the size of some of the later built properties lower down in the F Zone and the feeling of space is akin to living in a small park all of your own. What could be more cherished in these days of the new normal?Plus, there is sufficient space to build a further villa should you so wish.

Ideal Design Indoors and Out

The villa itself is an ideal design for families, with the pulse of the shared area being downstairs. Located on the first floor are the master bedroom and three bedrooms, each with a private terrace. There is also an additional reception room that is currently used as a family chill area. A separate storage room located on the opposite side of the patio could easily be converted into another bedroom or study. There is air conditioning throughout.

Costs and Title Deeds

The title deeds are owned by a Spanish Private Company making the purchase straightforward and a safe financial investment.
IBI: Approx € 3,100 / year
