| This
beautiful country house/villa is situated 980 metres above sea level on the southern
slopes of the Sierra Nevada and offers impressive panoramic views over
the mountains. Cortijo de Alberto lies above the small whitewashed village of
Atalbeitar, 10 minutes from the main road by way of a steep curved track leading
onto an oasis of lush green lawns and rose bushes surrounding the house. There
is also a covered terrace and an attractively tiled, private and view protected
swimming pool with sunbathing area. The house itself is built with
natural stone and has 2 floors, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Traditional
elements of Alpujarran architecture such as terracotta flooring and chestnut beamed
ceilings lend a special charm to the house. One enters by way of the terrace which
leads into the lounge, a cosy room with sofa corner, television and fireplace.
An attractive archway separates the lounge from the dining area and beautifully
tiled kitchen. In the east wing of the house there is a large bathroom and two
bedrooms. There is wheelchair access from the lounge to the lower bedroom and
bathroom and the bathroom has facilities for wheelchair users - a shower
without an edge, support rods, special washbasin and toilet. The third bedroom
is upstairs and has a double bed and en-suite bathroom and wonderful views from
the window. Every room in the house is painted in distinctive colours and very
tastefully and individually furnished. The property is in a very quiet and
peaceful location and off the beaten track. The access is a steep and curved
road, which may be problematic for the less experienced driver, followed by a
short runway that leads to a parking area for 2 cars directly beside the
house. Atalbeitar, the nearest village, is a typical example of the Moorish
style architecture of the region, unlike anywhere else in Spain and more akin
to the Berber houses across the straits in the Rif mountains of Morocco. Pitres,
a 5 minute drive or a pleasant 25 minute walk, is the nearest village for food
shopping, bars, restaurants and medical supplies. The coastal resorts and Granada
are approximately 90 minutes away by car.
