6 bedroom Villa for sale with countryside view in Los Romanes, Andalucia
the beautiful lake-view village of Los Romanes.
Ideal to adapt as a business, perhaps for tourism, yoga, courses/teaching, as a car repair or other similar workshop, or even as private storage units.
Located on the edge of Los Romanes and within easy walking distance from some excellent bar/restaurants as well as the two shops in the village and beautiful walking countryside, this delightful, bright property is surprisingly spacious and with a myriad of possibilities for starting up a business.
The main house is on one floor, and is modern, bright and light. Three steps lead to the front covered porch (16m2), a lovely place to relax and enjoy the outdoors in this quiet area on the edge of the village. From here the front door leads into a spacious, elegant entrance hall (20m2), which is large enough to use as an office too. To the far right, through quality double doors, is the living room (21m2), another bright and spacious room, with a woodburner fireplace.
To the other end of the hallway are doors to three beautiful double bedrooms (15m2, 10m2 and 12m2) with air conditioning, and a comfortable bathroom (7m2) finished in quality tiling and with a corner bath and separate shower unit. Beyond the hallway to the rear is the kitchen/dining room, also a very good size (23m2). It is fully fitted and equipped, with solid wood kitchen units and granite worktop, plus a large, walk-in pantry cupboard.
Beyond the kitchen is a large utility and laundry room, with full kitchen facilities (17m2) and sliding doors from here lead out to a lovely open, south-facing terrace (12m2) with beautiful views across the hills and countryside. It would be perfectly possible to create a second bathroom in this area.
From the kitchen, a door leads to steps down to the lower floor, which offers a completely separate 3 bedroom living unit, which also has its own entrance from outside, along the side concrete driveway.
This unit of a large conservatory or garden room (28m2) which could be made beautiful, perhaps a jungle of plants, or comfortable furnishings and curtains. There is a covered dog run within this section which could be maintained or converted back into part of the room. From here a door leads into a large hallway/dining room (12m2) with doors to the shower room (3m2) and the fully fitted kitchen (9m2).
To the right of the hallway, a couple of steps lead up to the living room (15m2), with a window over the rear patio, and the stairs that lead back up to the villa kitchen upstairs. At the far end is bedroom 1, a bright, double bedroom (9m2), with window to the South, and at the other end of the living room is bedroom 2 (12m2), currently used as an office, with a window to the side. Back in the dining room, a door leads out to the rear patio or East terrace (11m2). Bedroom 3 (10m2) with an en-suite bathroom (3m2) is accessed from this patio. Opposite is a door to a useful store room (10m). And a passage leads up the side of the house, passing an extra bathroom (3m2), and through a gate, leading back up to the pool terrace.
Below the lower unit is another unit, currently an un-renovated underbuild and accessed via a small door. It consists of a room which has plumbing for a bathroom, the basics of a small kitchenette and a door out to a concrete terrace facing South. This unit has potential to be accessed via a metal staircase from the land. This area is around 15m2.
To the West side of the villa and on the other side of the driveway are the outbuildings and land which consist of several rooms and store areas, including an old kitchen and a fireplace, totalling 130m2. This area has huge potential for use as a small business, from pottery or craft workshops, to a car repair workshop, or classes, such as language courses, yoga, etc. It could even be converted into safe private lockup storage units, which would be in great demand locally.
Equally, part of the outbuildings could be converted easily into further accommodation.
Beyond, and on sloping land, is a line of ancient raisin beds, used originally to dry the freshly picked grapes to make raisins, and subsequently Malaga wine. This land could be used to grow fruit trees, vegetables, etc, and there are 20 young mango trees currently planted.
This fascinating property has all the advantages of being in a village, with the peace and tranquility of the countryside or a quiet development. It is only a short stroll from the well known 'El Charco' restaurant and only 25 minutes from the coast, passing through stunning countryside reminiscent of Switzerland.

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.
