Heart of Countryside 5km from Los Barrios

January 29, 2021

5,500 m2 Finca in heart of Countryside

This is a single floor 3 bed 2 bath country property in a 5,500 M2 plot of land. The house is well built and has a garage which connects to the main house via the kitchen. This garage has a raised mezzanine level with balcony which provides ample storage facilities: it can be converted into a granny flat with relative ease and was designed with expansion in mind. The main house has wonderful wooden beams and country furniture hewn from local trees. It has an Olde Worlde feel with its abundance of stylish Sevillian tiles and terracotta flooring, yet with all the trappings of modern day comfort – fast internet and luxury fixtures and fittings.

3 Bed, 2 Bath and Private Pool

All 3 double bedrooms have natural light coming in. There is a separate kitchen and lovely large sitting room with wood stove set in an ample fireplace. All of the wood is stored in a separate shed, which in turn could be converted into an apartment, being some 50 M2. There is an abundance of mature fruit trees, different types of mandarin, orange, grapefruit and lemon as well as walnut and a wonderful prickly pear tree that is a variant from Valencia which does not have ‘prickles.’ The swimming pool, with Roman steps, is the crowning glory of this special property. The current owners have enjoyed many beautiful summers here and have decided to let another family benefit from its peaceful location and well tended lawns. The stonework is impeccable, as is the barbecue area. It is a wonderful and safe setting for families with children who wish to explore. There is even a tree house. Sitting areas extend all around the outside of the house and the views are panoramic. There is irrigation water from its own well and mains drinking water.

Full Legality of Paperwork

Many country properties can suffer from paperwork inconsistencies, but not here. This area was ring-fenced and planning permission given by the authorities at the Town Hall for this small urbanisation. The neighbourhood is a small hamlet of properties, each with around a half hectare of urban land.

Location: River Plains Guadarranque San Roque

Situated on the alluvial plain of the Guadarranque river in a plot of approx 1,150 m2. Surrounded by mature trees and on the migratory bird route. Near enough to main roads for travelling around but far enough to enjoy location without noise. Hard to beat this wonderful location. You have a dream escape from the pressures of every day life and yet still remain connected for when necessary. They say location is everything and it may be a cliché but it’s true. It is close to the business park, but don’t let that deceive you. Once here you feel cut off from everything except the river, the trees and the birds.

3 bed townhouse Los Barrios

This 3 bedroomed, 1 bath townhouse in Los Barrios is ideally located for Gibraltar and Algeciras as well as the nearby commercial centre a couple of kilometres away. At only ~~€130,000~~ 120,000 € it is a great opportunity to get on the property ladder for first time buyers, or, indeed, if your growing family now really needs 3 bedrooms. The current owners had a guest bedroom, a study and the main bedroom.

This is a wonderful feature offering privacy and a lovely sun trap with the option of putting up a pergola. There is enough space here to have a barbecue, inviting around a few friends.

Location – near Gibraltar and Algeciras

Ideally placed between Gibraltar and Algeciras. Tarifa, famous for windsurfers, is 20 km away and should not be forgotten when talking about location. Yet, make no mistakes, it is far more than a commuter town, having very much its own identity and history. The village came into being in 1704 when people who had been living in Gibraltar were forced to flee during the war of Spanish succession. The property itself is in a quiet side street, a 5 minute stroll from the heart of the village where banks, schools, tapas bars and children’s park are located. Los Barrios is surrounded by countryside – the Los Alcornocales Natural Park and is 20 minutes from the river and beach.

This is a great opportunity to buy this keenly priced property at only €120,000
