3 bedroom Villa for sale with countryside view in Canillas de Aceituno, Andalucia

Nestling in over 2 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens with fruit trees and pool, is this superb 3 bedroom villa with outbuildings, enjoying 360 degree mountain and countryside views from its peaceful location near Canillas de Aceituno.

It has excellent access with just a short country track leading to it. Situated in the countryside between Canillas de Aceituno and Velez-Malaga, the property is 25 minutes from the coast, 20 minutes from the historic town of Velez-Malaga, and 15 minutes to Viñuela village (with 24 hour medical service).

The area around the house is around 2000m2 and totally flat, with no other properties to block the views. The rest of the plot slopes down the hill and has terraced levels for planting, currently planted with olives and almonds.

The property is fully fenced with an impressive, gated entrance with access straight to the garage and plenty of parking for other vehicles, (both inside and outside the gates), on completely flat ground.

The gardens to the front are open, spacious, well maintained, and indeed, easy to maintain, with a large petanque court, pergola dining/barbecue area with large dining table and chairs, and an outside WC. There are also pretty flower beds and a few fruit trees planted in this area.

The property sits in the middle of the garden area facing the entrance, and to the right of it is a series of outbuildings consisting of one large store room (2 x 4m), with two smaller store rooms attached to one side (around 12m2), one of which is a utility room and houses a washing machine and tumble dryer. Attached to the right of the house is the garage/workshop (5 x 5m) plus extra store shed, and an additional store room built onto the house to one side of the property.

To the front of the house is a large covered terrace (3 x 10m), ideal for outdoor living. The front door, from the covered terrace, leads into the hallway (5 x 2m) with doors immediately to left and right. To the left is the fully fitted, modern kitchen with integrated dining area and windows to the front (East) and South side. To the right is the living room (5 x 4m) with windows to the front and North side and a fireplace.

To the far end of the hallway is access to the bedrooms and bathrooms. The family bathroom (4 x 1.5m) has a walk-in shower at the far end and is beautifully fitted. The main bedroom, to the far left, (5 x 4m) is spacious and comfortable with large double-glazed patio doors overlooking the rear gardens, pool area and fabulous mountain views beyond. This room also has a walk-in wardrobe (2 x 2.5m) and an en suite bathroom (3 x 2.5m). The second bedroom is 4 x 4m with a window to the rear, and bedroom 3, which is 5 x 3m. All bedrooms overlook the pool area and views.

This house has gas central heating throughout.

All the windows are double-glazed and have mosquito nets. Most of the windows are also lockable. There are air conditioning units in all the bedrooms, the living room and the en-suite bathroom.

To the rear of the house is the magnificent pool garden. A high terrace area level with the house is ideal for admiring the magnificent views to the West, and for relaxing in the swing chair, watching the spectacular sunsets. The table here provides a pleasant sheltered area throughout the morning.

A few steps lead down to the pool terrace. To the left of the pool is a pergola terrace with a pull-across awning, ideal for relaxing in the shade. The pool, 10 x 4.5m is well kept, with a pool cover for the winter months and a thermal cover for the Summer months.

Beyond the pool terrace is a garden area with citrus and palm trees and raised beds for either flowering plants or for growing a few vegetables. To one side is a gravel area with an orange tree and a fig trees, along with flowering borders, and from here one can access the land via a lockable gate in the fencing.

This is a perfect house for permanent living but it would also work very well as a holiday rental villa.

Buying a property in Spain

1. Putting down a Holding Deposit

On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner. This part of the process is not binding. We would recommend using an independent English speaking legal advisor. Once a purchase price has been agreed, normally a holding or reserve deposit will be required to ensure the property is removed from the market. The sum required will vary between properties and will be based on the purchase price. A time limit for the preagreement to be signed will be arranged and there will also be legal checks to be made.

2. Setting up a Pre-agreement (Contrato privado de compraventa)

The pre-agreement will set out the conditions under which the Buyer and Seller agree to complete the purchase of the property and the price they have agreed upon. Relevant details will generally be included for example the property details, purchase price and the date for completion. A deposit will be required at this point, this will vary, but will generally be 10% of the agreed price. This agreement will include a penal clause if the sale does not go through. If the seller pulls out of the sale your compensation will be double the deposit you have paid, but if you decide not to go through with the sale then your deposit will be lost. Certain checks will need to be made before signing the contract, checks should be made against the title of the property, mortgage status and if the property has any debts held against it. The planning status should also be looked into. These conditions can be varied by the seller and the buyer and other types of agreement can be made.

3. The Contract (Escritura de compraventa)

Before a non-Spanish purchaser can buy a Spanish property they will need to have set up a Spanish bank account and obtained a Spanish tax number (NIE). The completion will take place in the presence of a Notary Public. This is a Spanish public official, by law the deed of sale must be witnessed by a Notary Public. You will also need your own independent, expert legal advisor to act on your behalf. On Completion the buyer must pay the balance, that is the price agreed after the deposit has been deducted, plus any other fees on the completion date. Both buyer and seller must sign the Escritura de compraventa contract, (this is the Spanish equivalent of the title deeds). The title deeds (escritura) will be given to the buyer, this will be done in the presence of a Notary Public, they will certify that the transfer has taken place. The tax office will be sent a copy and the property registry will be informed of the transfer.
