Description

Incredible traditional Andalusian house in the beautiful Moorish white village of Salares.

Accommodation

This is a rare opportunity to purchase an original, un-modernised village house, to restore and create your own wonderful Spanish home with character and loads of space. A total of approx. 314 m2 built area is available in this historic building, with stables and wine cellars at lower ground level with independent access, making it ideal for conversion into guest accommodation or a workshop / studio. The main entrance from the street above leads into the large living room, 5 further rooms a bathroom, and a kitchen with access to the cosy roof terrace. A beautiful attic room with exposed beams and cane work crowns the top floor.

Features

The house is full of interesting features, most of which are in good condition and easily restorable, including exposed wooden beams, a wonderful old front door and wooden doors and windows with shutters throughout, an ornate fireplace, original tiled floors, and cupboards built into the thick stone walls. The stables and bodega are full of the history of the house, with animal mangers, wine barrels, earthenware jars for oil and meat — a whole series of rooms that could become a fascinating feature of the building when given a new use.

Exterior

The property overlooks the main entrance to the village on the west side, where there is plenty of free parking, and opens onto the main street leading to the square and town hall on the east side, with easy access to the local facilities and shops.

Summary

Salares is well-known for its annual Moorish festival celebrating the Al-Andalus history of the town, and is a 15 minute drive from the buzzing town of Competa and a 45 minute drive to the beach and motorway. It enjoys a sheltered climate, sitting at the foothills of the magnificent Maroma mountain and a favourite destination for hikers.
