The property has been lying idol for some time now and needs a little TLC but the build itself is sound. The property is perched on a hill which overlooks the surrounding area and has some stunning panoramic views of the valley below and faraway mountains. There is plenty of room for a swimming pool and the plot size of a huge 10,000m2./divdiv /divdivThe property is in need of work but for an ex-builder or DIY man it would be very straight forward to put all that needs looking at right. The 2 bedrooms are a good size and both en-suite with both bath tubs and showers however the sink basins are loose and the marble holding them needs replacing. The lounge area is spacious and well lit with its own door to the terrace and those amazing views. There isn and rsquo;t a fire place but one can be added as there is a outlet in the lounge to accommodate one. All the windows are fitted with fly nets./divdiv /divdivThere are no white goods in the kitchen nor are there appliances. The kitchen is basic and has no cooker but spacious and again well lit./divdiv /divdivThere is no electricity to the property and to have electricity installed would cost approximately 20-23,000 and euro; or if you would like to keep off the grid permanently and be self sufficient you could have solar panels installed which would cost approximately 15,000 and euro; but will save you money in the long term. /div /div Albox is nestled between the Sierra de las Estancias and the Sierra de los Filabres mountain ranges, a short distance from the river.
