Country house in Las Maguas, Oria

Set in a peaceful rural spot at Las Maguas, this reformed six-bedroom country house sits on 2,560 m² of mainly flat, maintained land, reached by a private driveway through almond groves. The current owners have restored its traditional character, with high ceilings, beamed ceilings and exposed original brickwork on the staircase.

A grand double-height entrance hall with a mezzanine study area leads to an open-plan kitchen, dining and living room. It has a bespoke fitted kitchen with granite worktops, a centre island with wine storage, a walk-in pantry and a log burner. A fly-screened garden room opens onto the east terraces.

Upstairs, the master suite has a large en suite with a bath and a walk-in dressing room. Another bedroom opens onto a large terrace ideal for stargazing. A newly reformed ground-floor wing adds two double bedrooms and a lounge, with space for en suites and a kitchen still to be finished. It could suit family accommodation or holiday letting, subject to licences.
