Sale of Farm Property in Castril
Description
Price : €55,000 (£47,172)
Reference : SAL145
A magnificent detached cortijo for reform a short drive from the sought-after village of Castril - just reduced from 62,000 euros to 55,000 euros!!
This property when completed will have at least four bedrooms and has great living space with at least two large reception rooms with open fireplaces. The "footprint" of the house (including corrals at both ends) is 240m2 (27m long x 9m wide). Excluding the corrals, the habitable part of the house is 160m2 per floor so 320m2 in total.
The owner has recently carried out extensive structural repairs - all the cracks, holes and bowing in the walls have been fixed, and the property is in very good original condition.
The property still needs modernisation but already has mains water connected. There´s plenty of room for solar panels and storage for water and electrical installations.
Both the northern and southern corrals have suffered roof collapse but would make great walled gardens. There is a huge threshing circle in front of the property which is bordered by a good hard track which leads 4km from the main A326 Pozo Alcon to Castril road at Campo Cebas. There's plenty of room for a patio garden and swimming pool.
Downstairs consists of a decent sized (4x4) entrance hall and bottom of stairs, with room beyond of similar size to entrance hall. To the left, there is a large dining room with open fireplace and room of a similar size off of this. To the right of the entrance hall is a kitchen with open fireplace and what could be a huge pantry room beyond (there is a bread oven in the corral behind the kitchen fireplace with access from inside the fireplace itself). The ´pantry´ has formerly been used as animal feeding room, so beaten earth floor with mangers lining one wall; there is a door to the end corral for access from outside.
So to summarise: Ground floor entrance hall plus 6 large rooms in total, including two with open fireplaces (kitchen and living room) two possible bedrooms, and one huge pantry or storage area of which could be bedrooms.
There is also a stable which runs the width of the property and could be re-purposed as a garage or dedicated room for storing solar equipment.
Up the stairs to the typical first floor grain storage room (effectively two very long rooms separated by the staircase).
Unlike most typical farmhouses in the area the first floor beams are above head height all the way to the outside wall, so this is all viable living space. At one end (above the dining room) access to the chimney breast. At the other end is a door to the other side of the property, a large bedroom with window, beside which is a very long and very dark room, beyond which a charming hay loft-type room which runs the width of the building and contains a long ladder for direct access from outside. Directly underneath this room is a stable room, still in good condition where horses could be kept. The hay loft has an opening looking out over the (partially ruined) southern corral and the views go on to the Sierra Nevada.
You can see a large neighbouring cortijo (still inhabited) from all of the windows on the west side of the building. It´s far enough away for the house to remain private.
So on the first floor you have two huge long rooms, plus one 4x4 bedroom, all at the moment accessed off each other but with a little restructuring could make an additional four bedrooms with room to spare.
A fantastic opportunity as the beautiful rural location and stunning views make this property a very worthwhile project!!
