Astonishing country house in Melegís with a rental business offering great views, a garden, 4 lodgings, 2 pools and land.
Spectacular and unique country house for sale near Melegís, set on a plot of 6,500 m² and surrounded by lush vegetation, citrus and pomegranate trees, with plenty of space to relax, walk, cook and enjoy the views of the valley. The villa is nestled on the side of a valley, from which you can watch the sunset over the distant hills. At the bottom of the valley, you can see the clear blue waters of the Béznar reservoir, fed by the meltwater from the Sierra Nevada and the surrounding mountains.
Ideally located, the house is just 25 minutes from Granada City, the Alhambra Palace and the ski resort of Sierra Nevada. It is also within easy reach of the Costa Tropical with its beaches, and has very close access to the villages of the Alpujarra area. The nearest exit on the Motril-Granada motorway is only 3 km away.
This property was built more than 30 years ago, and it was an elaborate and costly construction. It is divided into two adjoining buildings with four separate accommodations. As we approach, on our right-hand side we discover what was once the cheese factory, easily recognisable by its blue Arabic vaulted ceiling. Opening its carved and solid wooden doors, we enter the lower part, which consists of an open-plan studio of 80 m² that looks like a small and tastefully decorated museum. There is a generously sized and delicately decorated bathroom, a modern, fully fitted kitchen, and a storage room.
The upper part — where the current owners reside — offers breathtaking views of the valley and the finca, along with plenty of natural light. The roof of the living area is one of the most impressive and architecturally spectacular parts of the building due to its brick dome. It offers access to the pool terrace, features a fireplace, and the floor is equipped with a modern aerothermal system. The size and spaciousness of this living space with kitchen are its main virtues.
This floor offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office of 10 m², and a laundry room. The main bedroom is en-suite and features a walk-in wardrobe. There is also a studio of about 45 m² comprising a kitchen, seating and dining area, and a bathroom. The studio has direct access to a terrace with a modern, heated pool of 12 meters, which allows you to cool off or swim laps.
Directly opposite is the other building. Behind the heavy wooden door, there is a hall that leads into a large kitchen-living room that welcomes us with a fireplace and a stone oven. On this floor, there is a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a guest toilet, and a family bathroom. Upstairs, there are three more bedrooms and an additional toilet. A few steps lead up to the turret on the top floor, which offers a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding area, where nature can be observed in 360º.
Outside, there is a shaded terrace for alfresco meals, and at the rear we find the second pool. This swimming pool basks in the sun all day long, allowing you to cool off on hot summer days and enjoy the sunset in the evening. The property comes with multiple storage rooms, and the land boasts lovely, secluded areas surrounded by nature for ultimate relaxation and privacy.
This country property for sale in Melegís is used as a holiday rental home and also serves as a residence for its owners, who put a lot of effort and tenacity into preserving and maintaining it, as well as improving it by adding solar energy, aerothermal floors, an efficient heating and cooling system — all without losing the essence of the property.
