Villa in Albox, Almeria

This detached villa sits on a plot of 4,761 m² in a quiet cul-de-sac, reached directly from a tarmac road through electric gates. A large open driveway with a central island of native plants leads to sweeping stairs, with a ramp for step-free access, up to a covered front terrace.

Inside, a generous hallway opens to a bright lounge with a log-burning fire and large sliding doors to the rear covered terrace. Double doors lead to a separate dining room, where a light-tower turret fills the space with natural light. The well-sized kitchen has built-in appliances and a door out to the carport. There are three double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. Two have en suites, and the master also has a walk-in wardrobe. A guest shower room sits off the hall.

Outside, a decorative perimeter wall encloses most of the plot. A large terrace surrounds the 12 m x 5 m pool, beside a Romanesque-style casita with a wet room, pump room and storage. Behind it lies a walled area of around 1,000 m², suitable for horses. The villa also has air conditioning, central heating, 5 kW solar panels and a 1,000-litre backup water tank.
