Bargain 6 bed property for sale Jimena de la Frontera

September 10, 2018

Too Late! Property now sold.

6 bedroomed property Jimena

This is a wonderful opportunity to buy a six bedroomed property in the heart of Jimena de la Frontera and with wonderful views looking out over the Serrania up to Gaucin and down to Manilva. The property was inherited and the paperwork updated and notarised. Now they have decided to put this up for sale at a bargain price of only 120,000€. We have properties listed that have been fully refurbished and are now for sale at around 276,000€ with the same or less to offer than this.

Access to the property is via an antique, wooden, double breasted door which opens out into a large hallway with stairs to the right that lead upstairs to three bedrooms – all doubles, and an attic room at the top of the building which spans the width and affords fantastic views. Back on the ground floor there is a further double bedroom facing the street and then from the hall there is a step down into the very large sitting room which again spans the width of the property. There is a wonderful fireplace commanding centre stage and opposite is a large Welsh Dresser which is actually two dressers placed together. But this gives you an idea of the size. Through this room is the kitchen on the right and a further room which could also be a bedroom – which would make 7. This leads out onto a terrace which looks south over part of the famous white village of Jimena de la Frontera. There is also a communal terrace shared by the neighbours. This ground floor has a bathroom and there is a further bathroom downstairs in the basement. There are two bedrooms down here and a patio area. This floor leads out onto a small lane and gives yet another opportunity. It is possible to split this family home up into two units. The downstairs with patio and bathroom can be converted into a 1 bed apartment, with independent access. This would also give extra storage downstairs where the (steep) staircase is currently.

Ready to Move In

All told, this is a phenomenal opportunity. The upstairs bedrooms and attic are ready to move into immediately, as is the ground floor area. the basement area would benefit from some light reforms but all can be done either whilst living there or before moving in. What is important is that you don’t lose this opportunity. . . a 6/7 bed property on three floors for only 120,000€ This cannot be bettered.

August 13, 2018

Property now sold.

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.

Property now rented long term

Property Rental Long Term

This 350€ 2 bed 1 bath long term rental is available now. Situated in an ideal location in Estacion de Jimena. The property is on the ground floor and has a very large patio. There are 2 bedrooms, one bathroom and an open planned kitchen/sitting room. The neighbours are quiet and the street is central to everywhere.

Location – Centre of Estacion de Jimena

The cultural centre offers evening classes in a wide variety of subjects and the train station is within walking distance – as are the butcher’s, the baker’s and the candle stick makers. (OK we made the last one up, but there is a grocery store nearby too.) In fact it is close to all amenities and no need to get into the car – all can be reached on foot. the train station is also within easy walking distance and you can commute to Algeciras or Ronda with ease. If working in Gibraltar, it is better to go by car as the La Linea / San Roque train station is not conveniently placed for the border crossing. It is possible to switch from train to bus in Algeciras as an alternative if you wish, for example, to go to Gibraltar airport. You are also spoilt for choice for amenities, there’s a zoo/animal reserve, an exotic birds aviary, several cafes and restaurants and it is also near a petrol station. The main town of Jimena de la Frontera is 3 km away. Also a great location for bird watching and exploring the Andalusian foothills – situated at the edge of Los Alcornocales Natural Park witha host of walking routes. Jimena dela Frontera also has a rich history from Roaman and Arabic times and a castle that has been restored to reveal a wonderful history of conquest and archaeological techniques.
