La Fortuna Country Property

Descrizione

Garage: 1 Year Built: 2005

This wonderful villa is a bit of a Shangri-la property as looking from the road you
wouldn't know it's there and it is indeed something special. This perfectly shaped
and meticulously maintained 6-bedroom villa is a rare find if you're looking for a
house with land and a pool, in the tranquillity of the countryside but within close
reach of all day-to-day amenities.
The property sits on a hillside with expansive views and surrounded by olive groves
and the corresponding wildlife. The house was built on spec, 20 years ago, with
high-quality materials and finishings. Although the style is typical Andalucia country , it's
got a great contemporary layout and ticks all the boxes in terms of modern
essentials, including double glazing throughout, central heating, air conditioning and
photovoltaic/solar panels.
This exceptional property features a pool and outdoor kitchen, more than 3 hectares
of organic olive groves, a bodega and a very large indoor garage. It has been a
much-loved family home that's seen many happy occasions, and you can feel it
when you walk in.
The front door opens to a large and airy double height foyer featuring a staircase and
wrap-around balustrade. To the left there are two large double bedrooms with built-in
wardrobes and one with an ensuite bathroom with a shower. The bedrooms offer
great accommodation for guests or space for an office, art studio, or even a music or
media room!
To French doors to the right of the foyer lead to a large open plan living area set up
as dining and lounge areas, perfect for entertaining or as a comfortable family room.
It features a fireplace with a wood burning insert and a glass door leading to the very
large sunroom facing the garden and pool, which offers additional flexible space. The
possibilities are endless, a winter garden, a teenager hangout, a reading room, a
yoga room with a view, etc.
The large separate kitchen has doors to the foyer, the living area and the
terrace/pool area, so it's self-contained but can also integrate as a social space.
After all, most gatherings end up in the kitchen! It's fully equipped with recently
updated appliances and granite worktops. The breakfast table in the middle has a
matching granite top, making it perfect as additional workspace for cooking prep or
for kneading bread dough.
From the kitchen you can access the covered outdoor cooking area, the pool and the
garden. There's a built-in barbeque and a lovely terrace ideal to lounge around on
hot evenings, share lovely meals with friends or watch over the smaller humans
playing in the pool. Whether on holiday with friends or a summer afternoon with the
kids, it's a perfect spot and our favourite space in this house.

Back inside, on the ground floor, there's a second full bathroom across from the
kitchen, a pantry and utility room with washer and dryer and a very large garage
which fits 4 cars.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, and a family bathroom with shower. Three
of the bedrooms are large and have access to terraces with views, the fourth
bedroom is a bit smaller but still a good size. All four have built in wardrobes and one
of them is set up as a studio/library, complete with wall-to-wall glass door bookcases.
There is also access to the large back terrace, with a stairway to the ground floor by
the garage and bodega.
This property is a 1-minute drive from Torre Alaquime, with shops, bars, public pool
and schools, and a 10-minute drive from Olvera, with its supermarkets, a large
selection of bars and restaurants and full range of services and shopping options.
There are also many cycling and hiking paths in the area in addition to many outdoor
activities.
La Fortuna would be equally perfect as a family home with plenty of room for the kids
(and the grownups) to enjoy with friends or a holiday home to share with family and
friends in a beautiful setting.
