Originally two separate dwellings, the property comprises a TWO-STOREY house and an adjoining single-storey residence, offering exceptional flexibility. It CAN BE TRANSFORMED into one substantial family home or configured as a main residence with a fully self-contained guest ANNEXE, ideal for extended family, visitors or holiday rental income. Once completed, the property has the POTENTIAL to offer up to five bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The major RENOVATION WORK has already been undertaken, including a new ROOF, replacement upper floor, and new windows and external doors, leaving the new owner with the exciting opportunity to complete the interior to their own taste and specifications.

The current owners had planned the accommodation as follows:

The main two-storey house would feature an entrance hall leading to a comfortable lounge, with access to two ground-floor bedrooms. To the rear, a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area would open onto the rear courtyard, complemented by a generous family bathroom and utility room. Upstairs, the first floor could accommodate two additional bedrooms and a shower room, although the space would equally lend itself to a second lounge, games room, office or hobby area.

The adjoining single-storey section was designed as a self-contained guest annexe with its own private entrance, while also connecting internally to the main house via a lockable doorway. The proposed layout includes a kitchen area, lounge/dining room, double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and direct access to the rear courtyard.

As the interior has been stripped back to the original walls, buyers have complete freedom to redesign the layout and create a home perfectly suited to their own lifestyle.

Outside

The property sits on a level 1,174m² plot, offering ample outdoor space. Features include a traditional water storage reservoir (bolsa), originally used to irrigate the surrounding farmland, together with a private well.

Mains water and electricity are CONNECTED, internet can be connected, and a septic tank will need to be installed, as is typical for rural properties.

The property is FULLY LEGAL, with title deeds and a Licence of First Occupation already in place. Licences relating to the renovation works are currently being processed. Annual council tax (IBI) is approximately €160.

Location

Situated in the peaceful hamlet of El Badil, between the villages of Almanzora and Cantoria, the property enjoys a wonderful combination of countryside tranquillity and convenience. Almanzora village is within walking distance and offers a supermarket, medical centre, pharmacy and traditional tapas bars.

The bustling market town of Albox is just a five-minute drive away, providing a full range of amenities including supermarkets, shops, restaurants, cafés, sports facilities and a 24-hour medical centre.

The beautiful beaches of Vera Playa and Mojácar can be reached in approximately 30-40 minutes via excellent motorway connections. Three international airports are within easy reach: Almería and Murcia are both around 1 hour 15 minutes away, while Alicante Airport is approximately 2 hours by car.

Summary

This is an outstanding restoration project with enormous potential. Character properties of this size, with such a generous plot, detached setting and walking distance to amenities, are increasingly difficult to find. The opportunity to create a substantial family home with an independent guest annexe also offers excellent potential for multi-generational living or holiday rental income.

Priced realistically to reflect the remaining work required, this is an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a distinctive home they can finish to their own style and standards.
