NEW: Accessed via a recently tarmaced road and 1km of well maintained dirt track, Casa de las Águilas (House of the Eagles) is an immaculate property set in a stunning location in the countryside of Sedella with views up to Mount Maroma, the highest mountain in the Axarquia region (2.079m). The property is separated into two self contained living accommodations, the main house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms and the guests house with two bedrooms and one bathroom.
Both houses have access to the covered front porch which runs along the length of most of the property making it a wonderfully shaded area to sit and enjoy the views and dine al fresco! There is a covered terrace at the back of the guest house allowing plenty of privacy from the main house therefore being ideal to rent out on the holiday market.
There is a garage and a separate store room currently being used as a gym but could also be utilised as another guest house. There is also a farm storage building on the land (3.30 x 3.63m) which is home to a quad bike and a compact utility tractor.
The well cultivated land is planted with almond, olive and Algarrobo trees which are harvested by the current owners every year. There is also a fig tree and an orchard with various fruit trees including orange, lemon, mandarin, cherry, plum and avocados.
