Casa del Limon is a well-maintained, rural house, full of character and details that are usually found in original cortijos such as traditional floor tiles, alcoves, brick seating areas, and wooden details in the walls etc. In addition, the current owner has given it a modern, creative twist by using many wooden - and deep black - elements such as aluminum window frames with shutters and as a color accent on the walls in the kitchen and guest apartment. In the house itself, there are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and in addition, there is an independent guest apartment slightly lower down than the swimming pool which gives it great rental potential. There is a spacious covered terrace at the front where you can enjoy a drink or al-fresco dining in the shade. The gently sloping plot is full of plants, shrubs, and fruit trees including lemon, orange, tangerine, and avocado.
The property is easily accessible from the main road (no track !) and located on the mountain road to Canillas de Aceituno.
INTERIOR DESCRIPTION
From the covered terrace, you step through a large glass door into the spacious living room (34 m2), on the right side the lounge with fireplace and on the left side the dining area. Adjacent, you walk through to the rustic kitchen, with the modern twist of color, beams and shelves and other nice details (8.25 m2). Returning to the entrance again, you walk through a hallway opposite the kitchen (approx. 6 x 1 m) to a spacious bedroom (3.4 x 3.4 m), and then to a separate guest toilet, a bathroom with shower (1.6 x 3.4 m) and next to it a storage room (1, 4 x 3.4 m) which houses an extra fridge-freezer. Back in the lounge, stairs take you upstairs to the spacious 2nd bedroom (17.3 m2) with an ensuite bathroom. From here there is access to a private terrace that can also be reached via the parking area. The additional, independent, entrance gives this room rental potential (25.8 m2 incl. a terrace shaded by an automatic awning).
OUTSIDE DESCRIPTION
The paved entrance to the spacious parking area is reached directly from the mountain road (MA-125) to Canillas de Aceituno and has room for several cars. From here, you walk between flower beds and shrubs via stairs to the covered terrace of the house, but you can also go directly, to the terrace of the bedroom on the 1st floor of the house or, keeping to the left, via stairs that go the guest house.
The large terrace at the entire front of the house, of which 15m2 is covered, offers beautiful views over the pool, the valley, the sea, and the mountains. It is a lovely place to relax and have a nice outdoor meal or a drink. A few steps down from the upper terrace, you come to the large swimming pool (3.5 x 8 m) with a spacious sun terrace around it (approx. 40 m2). Below is the pool room (7.25 m2) with the pump and equipment for the pool and some space for storage. Keeping to the left by the pool, you come to the little garden and covered terrace of the guest house. As mentioned before, there is also a separate access from the parking area to the guest apartment.
Recently the house has been fitted with solar panels and top-quality aluminum double-glazed doors and windows with shutters ("tapaluces").
GUEST HOUSE
Via the covered terrace or directly from the parking area, steps take you to the casita/guest house (20 m2) with a nice covered terrace at the front (12 m2) and inside a self-contained apartment with a kitchen, spacious bedroom, and ensuite bathroom with shower.
