Luxurious 4 bedroom country villa, which has been built using top quality materials, set within a private fenced plot with a swimming pool and simply stunning views towards Lake Vinuela, the sea and the mountains.

With a total living area of around 200m2, this luxury country house is set within its own private grounds which are planted mainly with olive trees.

Accessed via automatic electric gates, the property is accessed via a sweeping driveway which leads through the private olive grove to the parking area in front of the house. There is an incorporated single garage with extra space for storage and an upper level for extra storage and the garage has electric remote control door.

The front door leads directly into a 6 x 4m L-shaped kitchen which is fully fitted with top quality units and white goods. A wide, brick decorated arch, with curved breakfast bar, leads through to the main living and dining room. The quite spectacular room has high ceilings with an atrium high above bringing in extra light and is overlooked by a gallery reading room/office area above. The living/dining room is 8.5 x 4.75m with the living area at one end and dining at the other, with a huge corner fireplace, plus air conditioning and very large double glazed windows. Beyond the dining room area is access to the 3 downstairs bedrooms and 2 bathrooms as follows: bedroom 1, 4 x 4m including built-in wardrobes, wall panel heater and ceiling fan (currently used as a sewing room); bedroom 2, 3 x 3m including built-in wardrobes, wall panel heater, air conditioning and ceiling fan, with en-suite bathroom; family shower room, 3 x 1.25m; bedroom 3, 3.5 x 3.25 including built-in wardrobes, wall panel heater, air conditioning and ceiling fan and double patio doors leading out to a tiled terrace of 4 x 3m, with steps down to the garden.

In the living/dining area, a wide, easy-to-climb, elegant spiral staircase leads up to the reading room/office, (5 x 3.25m) which has an open plan gallery view over the lower floor. From here a low door leads out to a tiled terrace that runs the entire length of the house (10 x 2.25m). From the gallery room, to the left, a door leads into the master bedroom with en-suite. The master bedroom is a generous 7 x 3.25m with built in wardrobes, panel heater, air conditioning and ceiling fan.

Central double doors lead out from the living/dining area to a glassed-in conservatory area (9 x 4m).

Beyond, outside, is a further terrace area with aluminium structure fitted with versatile awnings to allow or restrict sunlight, and a wide central sweep of steps leading down to the garden below and the beautiful pool terrace. The pool is a very unusual shape, with easy steps leading into the water, total size 42m2. There is a second area covered with an aluminium structure with awnings created as a barbecue area, next to the pool terrace.

Underneath the house is a huge store area of 135m2 and there are further garden areas to either side of the house with plenty of scope for further landscaping and planting.

A very unusual and particularly beautiful top quality property with all legal paperwork.

Spain Property Buying Guide

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.
