Full of traditional Andalusian character, this delightful home offers spacious and versatile accommodation, wonderful outdoor living spaces, and views across the surrounding countryside, coastline and Mediterranean Sea. Las Higueras is a well-established, gated community comprising approximately 10 similar homes. Ideally located on the outskirts of Manilva village, the property is just a five-minute drive from the beaches, golf courses and amenities of La Duquesa and Sabinillas, while also providing convenient access to the main transport routes. Manilva is renowned for its vineyards and lively wine festivals, combining traditional Andalusian charm with all the conveniences of everyday life. The village offers a beautiful church, a good selection of shops, tapas bars and a pharmacy, while local fairs and celebrations bring a wonderful vibrancy to the village throughout the year. The property is also within walking distance of local amenities, including supermarkets, schools and a sports and leisure centre. Full of charm and character, the property has a wonderfully flowing layout designed to maximise natural light. Split levels, sloping ceilings and traditional features create a quirky open-plan feel that perfectly complements the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle. A welcoming entrance and reception area leads through to the recently refurbished open-plan kitchen, featuring good storage, worktops and a breakfast bar, with the space continuing through to the formal dining area. Stairs lead down to a spacious living room, complete with a feature fireplace and attractive wooden ceiling. There is an abundance of living and entertaining space, with large patio doors opening directly onto the private mature garden. Stairs lead up to the main bedroom, which benefits from large fitted wardrobes and access to a small private balcony. The bedroom enjoys stunning sea views, as well as views across the surrounding vineyards and countryside. The outlook is particularly beautiful at sunrise, making this a wonderful room to wake up to each morning. Also on this level is the main bathroom, which has been modernised, together with a useful garret-style area offering potential as an office, occasional bedroom or additional flexible living space. Stairs continue to the second double bedroom, located at the top of the house, which benefits from its own en-suite shower room. The property has been modernised and improved over the years, although some further updating and renovation could enhance it even further. These works are not essential, and the property has been priced accordingly, offering an opportunity for a new owner to add their own personal touches. The property enjoys a large, private and mature garden with a generous terraced area and gazebo. Secluded, peaceful and surrounded by established plants, it provides an excellent space for outdoor living and entertaining. The garden boasts a variety of mature shrubs and plants, together with an established avocado tree, and enjoys wonderful views towards the sea, coastline and surrounding countryside. Several small storage rooms are also located within the garden, providing useful additional storage. A small private balcony offers another lovely outdoor space and is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee while taking in the views.
