Los Tablones: Cortijo with Pool & Large Gardens

A lovely cortijo (country property) located in a secluded spot on the outskirts of the town of Los Tablones, near to the larger town of Órgiva. The property boasts large, well maintained garden of flowering plants, olive trees and other fruit trees, like apple, walnut, lemon, avocado and a delightful swimming pool alongside the covered terrace.

Entering the property through the main gate, the first thing of note is the large mature gardens and a gravelled parking area that has parking for at least 8 cars if not more. The gardens are immaculately maintained with mature olive trees and large areas of lawn. There are planters with flowering plants and to the far end is a fully stocked vegetable garden. The house and pool are slightly raised on a terrace and overlook the beautiful gardens. The whole property is fenced and private.

To the right is a long path taking you to the front door of the property where you enter through an entrance porch and on through the main door. Inside there is a hallway off which are the main rooms. To the right is the first of the bedrooms. Like all of the rooms in the house, this is a bright room and suitable as a single or double bedroom.

Between the two bedrooms is the modern, well equipped bathroom. It has bath (with over bath shower), full separate walk in shower, basin and toilet. All tiled to a high standard, clean and functional.

The second bedroom is also suitable as a single or double and has air conditioning fitted. It features a large window to the rear letting in plenty of light.

Moving into the living area, which consists of an open plan lounge / kitchen / diner, there is plenty of space and with windows to both sides and the double doors to the terrace, there is again plenty of light. The kitchen is in an L shape and includes integrated oven and hob, dishwasher and fridge. There is plenty of cupboard space and under unit lighting makes cooking a pleasure. There is space for a dining table and to the far end of the room is space for comfortable chairs and sofa.

The large doors at this end of the room lead to a covered terrace with dining table and space for additional seating. Beyond the covered terrace is a canvas sail providing further shade to the area next to the pool – ideal for sun loungers and outside tables. The chlorinated and filtered pool (4.0m x 3.2m x 1.35m deep) is to the side of, and at an angle to, this lower terrace and is essential during the hot summer months. It comes with an outdoor shower as well.

The vegetable garden provides plenty of home grown fruit and vegetables throughout the year and is fenced and protected from local wildlife.

The house has mains electricity and water, with septic tank for sewage. There is the possibility of adding solar for powering the property as well as providing heating to the pool to extend its usage during the year.
