Canillas de Albaida:
Villa plus independent Farmhouse

Location

This attractive villa and independent, renovated farmhouse, enjoys a peaceful valley setting just outside the village of Canillas de Albaida which is on the perimeter of the Sierra Tejeda Wildlife Reserve. From the rooms and terraces there are lovely views of pine covered hillsides and the majestic peaks of the Sierra, snowcapped in winter. There is excellent access to the villa from the village. Shops, banks and popular bars and restaurants are all within easy reach. A five minute drive takes you right into the centre of the village.

Property

The two properties

As you approach the villa, you come first to a double garage, located just beside the track near the house. You continue on to an ample, gravel-covered parking space beside the farmhouse which is separated from the main house by an attractive natural stone fountain. This charming farmhouse comprises a double bedroom, a living-room with a fireplace (built-in wood-burning stove), a fitted kitchen and a bathroom. The kitchen is adjoined by a dining area beside which some bunk beds have been installed. A staircase at the rear takes you up to a large roof terrace. From the finca you cross the fountain terrace to the main house along the front of which a long terrace runs the length of the building, ending at a covered swimming-pool with an outdoor shower. From this terrace you enter the spacious main house. The living space comprises a hallway with a cloakroom, a very spacious living-room with a fireplace adjoined by a dining area, a large kitchen/breakfast-room with a door to a utility terrace and five bedrooms (three en-suite). The living-room and one bedroom have french windows opening onto the main terrace in front.

Remarks

Fabulous views

The land has been mostly terraced and apart from an irrigation system is watered weekly by the local farming irrigation network. Many olive trees are thriving on the terraces. Mains water and mains electricity are connected. The villa would be ideal as a retirement home near the village but still enjoying rural seclusion in a lovely, peaceful setting. Air conditioning/heating units have been installed throughout.
