CHARMING COUNTRY VILLA - SWIMMING POOL, GARDENS, GARAGE
MID-WAY BETWEEN GAUCÍN AND JIMENA DE LA FRONTERA
This beautifully presented and thoroughly charming detached home is located on the outskirts of San Pablo de Buceite, a pretty village with a population of approx. 1500, in the municipality of Jimena de la Frontera.
San Pablo is situated at the edge of ‘Los Alcornocales Natural Park’ ~ a protected area perfect for picnics and hiking. It is also mid-way between the magical ‘White Village’ of Gaucín, which is only 15 mins drive to the east, whilst the bustling town of Jimena de La Frontera is just 15 mins away to the west in Cadiz Province.
The property itself is along a quiet country lane surrounded by avocado fields, and only a 500m stroll away from the River Guadiaro, ideal for swimming during the summer months, and a haven of peace and tranquillity abundant with flora, fauna, and a variety of wildlife and birds. The lane is categorised as a secondary residential area, with mains water and mains electricity, so mortgages are possible.
This deceptively spacious villa is arranged over two levels, with two terraces overlooking the beautifully manicured gardens, fabulous swimming pool and a BBQ area.
Ground floor
The characterful living room is welcoming, light & spacious with an open fireplace and a beamed ceiling. The generous kitchen is well-appointed with good quality fixtures & fittings, and a charming brick surround archway leads into the adjacent dining area. There is interior access to the garage which is located below the upper terrace.
Upper floor
The upper floor comprises the ensuite Master bedroom with a separate study area, each with beamed ceilings. The ensuite is well appointed with a bath and shower. There is also direct access from the bedroom to the upper terrace overlooking the pool, with lovely west-facing views to the distant mountains. From the terrace, there is an external staircase leading down to the pool and garden.
The double guest bedroom and separate walk-in shower room are located on the other side of the upper floor, with direct access to the shaded upper terrace overlooking the garden.
There are two upper terraces, one shaded and one open. The large open terrace has wonderful to the distant mountains in the west ~ where you can admire some glorious sunsets whilst enjoying a glass of wine ~ what could be more perfect!
Exterior
The good-sized plot is walled and fenced and is entered via a double metal gate that opens into a paved parking area, and also leads to the garage.
A few steps lead down from the house into the garden and adjacent walled pool area. The beautifully presented and designed garden offers a wonderful sense of proportion and space. It contains a variety of fruit trees, meticulously pruned shrubs, and colourful flowering plants, with several feature pathways.
The immaculate, private and very inviting swimming pool (approx. 9m x 4 m) is the focal point of the garden ~ located in an attractive walled area, and surrounded by easily maintained paved terracing.
Complete with a shaded seating area at one end of the pool, this wonderful outdoor living space is perfect for alfresco dining or entertaining friends and family, or just relaxing, enjoying the sunshine, and listening to the birds singing.
Locale
The villa is 3km from San Pablo village, so a car (or electric bicycle!) would be useful, although it is possible to walk into San Pablo, as some locals do!
The village could compete with a town for its excellent amenities & facilities! These include a Health Centre, Farmacia, Municipal swimming pool, sports centre, padel courts, Ruiz Galan supermarket, tapas bars/restaurants, and several other small stores, to name but a few.
