Omakotitalo, Alhaurín el Grande, Costa del Sol

This executive family home was built in 2008 and is still in exceptional condition, having been maintained immacuatley. The area of El Salmeron has now been adopted by the municipality of Alhaurin el Grande as an Urban Zone. This is excellent news for value, convenience and overheads as well as maintenance of the area. Even better, the zone in front of this amazing house is a green belt, so will not be built on and allows for uninterrupted views to the mountains and a dramatic sunset ( especially sitting on the raised terrace with a cocktail ).

Walking distance to the pueblo of Alhaurin el Grande, this corner plot offers a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home, with wonderful light and many great open plan spaces for living and entertaining. The living area of the home overlooks the pool on each level. There are colonial style wrap around terraces on all levels.

The suburb is mostly architect designed family and executive houses. The neighbourhood is well lit and constantly maintained.

This Villa has large bedrooms, spacious entry spaces and landings, ample bathrooms and it flows very well from one area to the next: the top floor for sleeping, the ground floor for living and the basement allows for a multitude of options. There is the added bonus of underfloor heating and a full water filtartion system. The lower level would make an amazing games room, storage, self contained apartment or indeed apartments ( with its own access and bathroom already).

The garden is low maintenance with potential for a lot of planting and zoning of the spaces. The roadside has privacy walling, a pedestrian gate and electric gates for the car entry. All of this makes for easy access to the ground floor and kitchen. The abundance of terraces means that the property is so adaptable to many uses, including holiday rentals, a bed and breakfast or indeed, a retreat of some kind.

The outstanding feature here is the swimming pool. We have never seen a proper 20m x 4 m pool in a domestic home in the area. It spans the house and is such a bonus. The pool area could be reimagined to really emphasise the beauty of the garden and view behind. Not only do you have a beautiful garden but a sports facility too.

We love this home for 3 main reasons, 1/ The sheer potential, it has an almost blank canvas to create any style you would like, 2/ The light and scale and 3 / The location and views.

Everyone desires a property within walking distance of town and the abundance of bars and restaurants. Direct access to major roads, the airport only 25 minutes away, as well as the magical city of Malaga. Coin and its excellent shopping is a mere 8 minutes drive too. At the same time, people want space and views. This house has the trifector.
