***PROPERTY NOW SOLD***

The owners of this lovely property have, due to pressing family commitments, significantly reduced their lovely home for a prompt sale .

This regal and impressive villa is nestled into a small gorge on the outskirts of Almerida.  benefits From the very private and secluded location it has stunning views of the bay, but is just 650 metres away from the beach and tavernas in the heart of the highly sought after coastal village.This unique architect designed 150sqm villa has been built to a high specification, taking full advantage of the gentle gradient and terracing of the land to provide an uninterrupted and protected villa which can never lose its view.

A curved driveway lined by trees, flowering shrubs and a stone wall leads to the generous off-road parking area and the front door. The double height reception room is a magnificent open area from which the 3 bedrooms and the upper level are accessed. Double doors lead from this room to a large tiled veranda which has soaring and rather majestic columns providing the plentiful shaded outside living space next to the pool.

The master bedroom suite is to the left of the reception room and comprises a large double bedroom with access to the terraces, floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes plus a generous tiled en-suite shower room with overhead shower rose, shower cabinet, feature hand-basin on a vanity unit and quality tiling in white with blue mosaic décor.

Returning to the main entrance, to the right is the twin bedded guest room and to the front of this is bedroom 2 – a charming light double room with a door leading to the pool terrace. Both bedrooms have built to measure floor to ceiling wardrobes. A family bathroom with vanity unit, full sized bath and attractive tiling is located on this floor.

A sweeping staircase with attractive wrought iron railings leads to the upper level and the large open plan living area. Separated by an attractive stone arch, the French country-style kitchen units, which are lacquered in striking blue & white, house top quality equipment including an eye-level oven and microwave, ceramic hob with cooker hood, American style fridge freezer, dish washer, wine cooler.  Double patio doors lead to the breakfast terrace which overlooks the rear gardens and olive groves.

Huge patio doors to the front and rear of the open living room impart volume, space and light in this already very large and airy room. With the height of the vaulted beamed ceiling accentuated by the wood burning stove which is centrally located and the galleried dining area, this is a real eye-catcher. Patio doors lead from both the living room and dining areas to large external terraces.

Outside the living room is a large veranda which gives a magnificent view across the pool and its terraces across swathes of olives down to Almerida and to the sea beyond the village.

Externally the 2,000sqm of land has been utilized well. The house is placed fairly centrally on the land with gardens and trees on all sides. To the seaward side of the house are the pool terraces which surround the pretty mosaic tiled 40sqm pool. Perfumed, flowering shrubs and climbers surround the terraces in a blaze of colour and easily maintained graveled beds extend to the stone boundary walls.
