Country house in Puerto Lumbreras, Murcia

South-facing and recently renovated to a high standard, this detached two-storey country house sits within 20,000 m² of predominantly flat land planted with olive and almond trees, currently tended and harvested by a local farmer. A 1,200 m² fenced area surrounds the house, with an easy-care gravel garden, double carport, attached garage and two large garden sheds, all set amid sweeping 360º countryside views.

Exposed wooden beams and rustic floor tiles give the light, generously proportioned rooms real character. The modern kitchen has integrated appliances, a central island and abundant storage, flowing on to the dining room and a living room warmed by an efficient pellet burner, plus a study. Upstairs are the principal bedroom with en-suite, two further doubles and a family shower room.

A part-covered veranda runs across the front, perfect for alfresco dining in sun or shade. Mains water and electricity, internet and a 37,000-litre backup tank are in place.
