EXCLUSIVE TO DREAM HOMES ALMERIA and NEW TO THE MARKET, this detached villa represents a fantastic opportunity to purchase in the highly sought-after La Perla area of Arboleas, within easy walking distance of the village.

Priced at just €189,000, properties offering this combination of location, plot size, private swimming pool and potential are increasingly difficult to find. The villa does require some TLC and modernisation, but this has been fully reflected in the asking price, creating an excellent opportunity for buyers prepared to make improvements and add value.

The property is completely habitable as it stands, making it ideal for someone looking for a home they can enjoy while gradually updating it to their own taste and requirements.

The Property

Approximately 20 years old, the villa sits on a fully walled private plot of approximately 520m². Double electric entrance gates open onto a generous carport with additional off-road parking, while a separate pedestrian gate provides convenient access.

The gardens are currently laid mainly to gravel and paving for easy maintenance, providing something of a blank canvas for the new owners to landscape and personalise as they wish.

The outside space enjoys lovely mountain views and includes a private swimming pool, which is currently empty of water. To the rear of the carport is a useful approximately 9m² block-built storage casita, ideal for pool equipment, bicycles, garden tools and additional storage.

The red block structure appears to have been intended by the previous owner as an extension to the existing property, although the works were never completed. The proposed layout seems to have included an entrance hall, with access to the lounge and existing accommodation to the right, and a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom to the left.

The planning and licensing status of this unfinished structure has not been verified, and prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding any permissions that may have been required or obtained. Subject to the necessary permissions, the structure could potentially be completed as additional accommodation or removed to create further garden and terrace space around the swimming pool.

Glazed entrance doors lead into a spacious open-plan lounge and dining room, where a feature log-burning fireplace creates an attractive focal point. There are traditional wooden windows, hot and cold air-conditioning and ceiling fans.

Off the lounge is a generously sized fitted kitchen. While perfectly functional, the kitchen would benefit from updating and offers plenty of potential to create a more contemporary space. A separate external door provides direct access to the side terrace.

Returning to the lounge, an archway leads through to an internal hallway giving access to two large double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes traditional style wooden windows, hot and cold air conditioning and ceiling fans.

The accommodation is completed by a particularly spacious family bathroom equipped with both a full-size bath and a separate walk-in shower.

A Property With Genuine Potential

This is a property where buyers need to look beyond the fact that it has been unoccupied for several months and recognise the location, space and potential on offer.

With some investment, modernisation and imagination, this villa could be transformed into a very attractive permanent home, holiday property or rental investment.

Most importantly, at €189,000 in La Perla, the asking price provides an opportunity to purchase in one of the Arboleas area’s most desirable locations while retaining scope to improve the property and potentially add significant value.

For buyers who have been waiting for a renovation opportunity rather than paying a premium for somebody else’s improvements, this is one that deserves serious consideration.

Early viewing is strongly recommended. At this price point and in this location, we do not expect this property to remain available for long.
