This is a very unique rural villa of 4 bedrooms and three bathrooms in Los Alias, Cariatiz, Sorbas. It was built in 2004/5 and finished to a very high quality. The villa is a generous 216m2 sitting on a plot of 865m2. The architect for the project went to great lengths to design a new, modern villa in a traditional Andalucian style incorporating many original features. The end result is very much a property with a wow factor. From its initial curb side appeal right through to its modern functional practicalities this home leaves a lasting impression. Although the Spanish property market is saturated with real estate you will not find too many comparisons to a home like this.

The location is idyllic for those wanting rural Spain. You are guaranteed hot sunshine, a rolling mountain back drop and plenty of peace & quiet. The immediate area is very famous with ramblers / walkers and offers plenty of interesting designated walks. The area of Cariatiz is made up of many little hamlets. Although in this one called Los Alias there are no bars or shops a short 3 minute drive brings you to two small tapas bars and a local general store. The much larger town of Sorbas is around a 10 minute drive. The coast of Mojacar is around a 25 minute drive and Almeria airport is around a 45 minute drive.

The front of the home is landscaped and planted with now well established trees, shrubs etc. The front is a blaze of colour for most of the year. There is off road parking and also a large 28m2 garage which gives ample room for a car and storage/workshop. The property is accessed by Stable wooden doors into an entrance hallway. Straight ahead via a stone arch leads to a modern well equipped kitchen with rear door out to the covered terrace and pool area. To the left of the entrance hall is a very generous living / dining room with feature log burner fireplace and again wooden French doors out to the pool & terrace. From the lounge to the kitchen is a feature stone arch. To the right of the entrance hallway is another long hall connecting all three ground floor bedrooms and the family shower room. The larger bedroom 2 boasts a full en suite bathroom with sunken bath, Andalucian style wardrobes, vanity unit and double French doors out to the pool area. Coming off the lounge is also a small hall with storage area and a doorway into the garage. A set of stairs, also from the lounge lead to a very impressive master bedroom suite with a feature vaulted beamed ceiling , an en-suite shower room with a wet room style walk-in shower and again double French doors leading on to an incredibly large roof terrace with majestic views of the surrounding countryside.

Outside the property you cannot help but be equally impressed. From the rear is a central pool courtyard accessed from lounge/kitchen and bedroom 2. An 8 x 4m private pool is the central focus but you also have a long shady, covered terrace for eating and relaxing etc. When you are guaranteed at least 320 days sunshine per year (as Almeria is!) shade is crucial. In the corner to the left is a covered, round ´Moorish´ style seating area offering a good viewing point and then to the right is a casita storage building housing the pool pump also. To the side of the house is a planted area with fruit trees etc. This property has been set up with a very low maintenance approach so it certainly can be a lock up and leave holiday home if required. The size and space also suits a full time home for relocation. The 4 bedrooms make it ideal to accommodate friends and family.
