- Description
Las Tortugas has been completely renovated by the owners to make the accommodation very flexible: it could be a super 5-bedroom family home, a B&B or two separate apartments for home and income.It is set in 2500 square metres of garden (just over half an acre) with stunning 360º views, notably to the sea at Garrucha to the east and the village of Mojácar and the Cabrera Mountains to the south. There are only two other houses in the immediate area of the property, the nearest being about 300 metres away. Despite its peaceful rural location, Las Tortugas enjoys a very convenient position: just ten minutes to the sea at Garrucha, 10 to Vera Pueblo, 20 to Mojácar. The property has been re-plumbed and re-wired and has new drains/septic tank, new bathrooms, kitchen and double-glazed aluminium windows. It is presently used as a single dwelling with three reception rooms and 4 bedrooms, bedroom 5 being used as a study/utility room. However, the layout is such that it could be a B&B or two self-contained apartments each with two bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as ample living accommodation. All the rooms are generously proportioned, with a total internal area of nearly 300 square metres plus 40sq metres of covered terrace and 60 of uncovered on the ground floor and a 40 square metre solarium on the first floor.On the ground floor, the main entrance hall leads on the one side to a sitting room, bedroom with ensuite (large walk-in shower) and cloakroom. Beyond the sitting room is an internal entrance to the large garage/workshop which could be a 6th bedroom or a games room. At the other end of the hall an arched door leads to the dining room with feature alcove and marble-topped storage cupboard. The wall between sitting and dining rooms has a log burner with glass doors in each room. The fully equipped kitchen includes Stoves 8-burner gas range cooker, dishwasher, separate sink for food preparation, granite work-tops and ample wall and base units including a pull-out larder. It is well lit by concealed low-voltage halogen lights.FFrom the dining room an archway leads through to the internal stairs and another ground floor bedroom with north and east-facing windows, and walk-in wardrobe/dressing room. The ensuite bathroom has his´n´hers basins in marble-topped vanity unit, w.c., bidet and walk-in shower. French doors from the dining room give onto the 40square metre covered terrace, beyond which is the 10-metre swimming pool with Pebbletec finish, solar heated shower and ample uncovered terracing. The first floor is reached via the staircase next to the second bedroom and also via an external staircase to the upper terrace and a second ´front door´. The internal staircase has a door at the top, making it possible to completely separate the two floors for multi-occupation. On this floor is a spacious L-shaped reception room with log burning stove, French doors onto the large south-facing terrace (below) as well as onto a small balcony to the north (north view below left).The hall also gives on to one bedroom with ensuite shower room and two large built-in wardrobes, second bedroom with one large built-in wardrobe, large family bathroom and another potential double bedroom currently in use as study/utility room. This room is supplied with hot and cold water and drainage as well as sufficient electrical current to be easily converted to a kitchen and has an external door to the upper terrace and a second internal door leading into the sitting room..Outside a gated entrance leads onto a large gravelled area to the side of the house where there is covered parking for two vehicles as well as ample space to park several more cars. The house sits more or less in the middle of the plot, with an extensive gravelled garden to the rear (north) which collects rain water. The run-off from this area as well as from the roof is collected in a large water deposit at the end of the garden which is sufficiently large to keep the garden watered with the rare but heavy rains for most of the year. A 1.2m satellite dish with dual LNB serves both upstairs and downstairs sitting rooms. There is also an Iberbanda (broadband internet via satellite) connection which could be activated for telephone as well if required as the owners may need to take the Telefonica radio phone with them to their new house if no other means of communication exists. Hot water is supplied by three separate instant gas water heaters in different locations, minimising wastage of water in long pipe runs. The rates (contribuciones) for this property are very modest - in 2005 they were only €100 per annum.
