Pepe Aragon OrgivaCortijo
Pepe Aragon is a beautifully reconditioned farmhouse built over a hundred years
ago. It is situated in the remote and tranquil countryside between Orgiva and
Lanjaron surrounded by organic farmland. The views from the house are breathtaking,
encompassing the green and fruitful valley of Orgiva as well as the Sierra Nevadas,
Europe's second highest mountain range with snow-covered peaks reaching up to
3500 meters. In front of the entrance to the house there is a covered terrace
leading on to an enormous swimming pool (14 x 8 meters), perfect for cooling
down on hot summer days. It also has a bamboo fence surrounding it with access
through a small gate. The owners of the property live below and occasionally
use the pool in July and August. The remainder of the time the pool is strictly
for the disposal of the guests. The house itself is detached and built in
typically traditional style with wooden beamed ceilings and wide stone walls which
insulate well against both the heat and the cold. It is comfortably furnished
and has a welcoming feel. There are 3 bedrooms, a large kitchen
and comfortable lounge with direct access to the terrace which is shaded and
has wooden garden furniture making it the perfect place to eat al fresco or
simply relax out of the sun. The lounge is equipped with satellite TV with
international programs and has a cosy seating area with a glass fronted fireplace.
There are also covered parking spaces right by the house. The approach road is
a 2km track leading from the main road. Holiday guests can purchase organic
vegetables nearly all year round from the neighbouring farmer Alberto at very
favourable prices. The nearby town of Orgiva, 10 minutes drive away, is useful
for all shopping, banks, bars and restaurants and has a lively market every Thursday.
A trip to the coast or the beautiful city of Granada takes approximately 45 minutes.
