Location
Set in a serene rural setting yet less than 10 minutes’ drive from Álora’s shops, bars, and restaurants, the villa enjoys the best of both worlds—peaceful country living with everyday amenities close at hand.
Main Residence
Ground Floor
A private entrance opens into a welcoming reception snug, complete with a pellet burner for cosy evenings. From here, you have direct access to the fully fitted modern kitchen, as well as the elegant dining room and a bright, spacious lounge. The lounge features two patio doors that lead directly onto the terraces and gardens, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Internal Courtyard
At the heart of the home lies the charming internal courtyard, accessible from the private road. This courtyard provides independent access to the studio apartment and the first- and second-floor accommodation, while still connecting internally to the main residence if desired.
On the ground floor of the courtyard area is a studio apartment with a large modern bathroom and walk-in shower, plus a comfortable double bedroom with access to the patio and gardens. A laundry room and additional storage are also accessed from the courtyard.
First Floor
The first floor hosts an impressive master suite with feature wooden ceiling beams and a beautifully updated en-suite bathroom, complete with a large contemporary bath. A further guest bedroom also enjoys traditional wood-beamed ceilings and its own en-suite shower room.
Second Floor – Self-Contained Apartment
Accessed independently from the courtyard, the second-floor apartment offers a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area with a pellet burner. There is also a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a full bathroom featuring both bath and shower—ideal for guests or rental use.
Independent Casita
The independent casita adds exceptional flexibility to the property. It features a kitchen-diner and lounge, a double bedroom, and a bathroom with a wet-room facility. All doors and access areas are wheelchair accessible, making it an excellent opportunity for a fully adapted rental unit or a comfortable granny flat for extended family living. A private front patio provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the Andalusian climate, with direct access to the large fenced parking area.
Outdoor Living & Grounds
Set within approximately 7,000 m² of flat, usable land, the property offers endless possibilities—whether for horses, motorhome parking (subject to permissions), or further landscaping projects. Mature gardens with feature pathways create peaceful, secluded zones throughout the grounds.
A wraparound patio with high-quality wind-out sunblinds enhances year-round outdoor living, while the contemporary saltwater swimming pool with pergola provides a shaded retreat for relaxation and entertaining. The solar panels are discreetly positioned in a corner of the plot, ensuring uninterrupted views across the countryside.

Legal Status & Income Potential
