Houses for Renovation
Salon
A typical village house in Melegis, full of nooks and crannies, with plenty
of light and a small patio and the chance to turn this into a really interesting
three-bedroomed abode. If opened up, this could give a very light and
airy three-bedroomed house with a terrace.

Covered terrace
A small property in Saleres, close to the edge of the village comprising
a salon, bathroom, two bedrooms, a kitchen/diner and small roof terrace.
Although the house has been lived in until very recently, it could do
with renovating internally, but could be lived in whilst this is done.
Personally, I would enlarge the roof terrace to give more space there,
and this could be quite cheaply done.

Upstairs
The archetypal village house, situated in Saleres, Casa Golondrinas is
ideal for a small family or a couple of couples. Downstairs are a stable
and what was a living room and upstairs are two rooms of a reasonable
size. It the upstairs area was opened up it would be a very light and
airy living environment, and there would be plenty of room for two bedrooms
and a bathroom downstairs.

Bottom floor
Something different in a couple of ways. Firstly, this is a house on the
edge of the town of Durcal, but still very much part of it. Secondly because
it has a cave of five metres by four metres, which in the summer is deliciously
cool. (As would your wine be if you used it as a bodega.)

Casa Alta
- Melegis
Sitting room
In the village of Melegis, with access to the door and parking around
the corner, Casa Alta is a typical village house, long and thin. The house
is 13 metres long and 3 metres wide, but with a one metre alleyway to
the side, currently used to house two bathrooms!

at 75,500 euros
Covered terrace
In the square in Saleres, with access to the door for a small car, is
a compact house which would give the possibility of three bedrooms, a
kitchen/diner, sitting room and roof terrace with views.

at 77,500 euros
Entrance
At the entrance to the village of Saleres, with road access to the door
and parking thirty metres away, this is a typical village house on three
levels with a total of eight rooms, five of which are used as bedrooms
at the moment. The house could do with a good revamp to give a better
distribution, but it is sound and has some lovely quirky features.

Facade
In Talara at the head of the Lecrin Valley, across the road from the bakery,
on a corner plot with access from two different streets, Casa Peregrino
is a fair-sized village house with those rare commodities, road access
and a garage. It would be possible for adventurous owners to live in it
as it is, there is a perfectly serviceable bathroom and kitchen, but we
feel that this house has the potential to be made into something special.

Facade
Even with my experience of strange houses in the valley, I had to draw a
map of this one to get it right! A really quirky house, with three impressive
and large rooms in the main part of the house, with views across a huerto
to the front and to the mountains if you put a window to the rear. Once
again, the choices for a renovation are endless, and I would love to see
the plans of the buyer after purchase. (But that is not a condition of purchase.)

Sitting room
Casa Trini is in a small square in the lower barrio of Albuñuelas.
It is an interesting house in need of renovation, although there has been
a family living there until recently. It could have two or three bedrooms
on one floor and a large living area on the other, The addition of a roof
terrace would make it a lovely village house. Underneath is a large storeroom,
very useful for wood and tools.

Downstairs
A house for restoration or renovation in the village of Murchas, with a
small garden of approximately 30-35m2. On the ground floor is a garage-cum-workshop
with an attractive stone wall to the rear. Up a flight of stairs are three
rooms with partition walls, which if opened up would give a large and light
living area of about 70-80m2. Leading off this is the small triangular garden
which would accommodate a plunge pool if wanted with plenty of sitting room
around it.

That front door
In the heart of the village of Melegis, on a corner position with entrances
from two streets, Casa Mama is a very large family house, or in fact two
houses. One of the houses is fit to live in now but would benefit from renovation,
while the other would need restoring to bring it up to scratch. The front
door of the house tells of what is to come. It is of indeterminate age,
but of a quality you don´t find today.

Casa
de las Hermanas - Pinos del Valle
Sitting room
A deceptively large house in the lower barrio of Pinos del Valle, with 13
rooms, some of which could go to provide a patio with room for a small pool
to the rear. If it were mine, I would make it into a roomy three-bedroomed
house with a garden and small pool and an internal patio. A great project
with masses of scope.

View
At the top of Saleres, with views across the village and the valley, Casa
del Sol is a partly renovated house which could be lived in whilst the
house is finished. The house as is has a renovated kitchen, a salon and
bathroom downstairs and a salon upstairs with a spiral staircase to the
large roof terrace. There is road access to the door for a small car and
parking close by

Salon
A house on three levels at the top of the Barrio Alto of Albuñuelas,
in need of a lot of renovation work, although it is presently lived in by
a family of five. Each floor is approximately 30m2 and if a roof terrace
was added there would be great views down the valley and on to the Sierra
Nevada.

Dos Puertas
- Saleres
Entrance hall
So named as it has doors on two different streets, this village house has
a wealth of rooms on many different levels. In fact it is two houses that
have been joined, the smallest of the two having three rooms one above the
another of approximately 21m2 each. The main part of the house is entered
directly from the street into a hall, off which are a saloon, a bathroom
and the large kitchen. From the kitchen there is a small internal patio
currently used as a utility room.

Hallway and stairs
Another house for renovation rather than restoration is Casa Mari Paz in Restabal.
Entered up four steps from the street you arrive in the spacious hall of a
high-ceilinged house. To the left is a sitting room and to the end of the
hall is the kitchen, with a utility room attached.

at 125,000 euros
Setting
Right against the edge of the village, with orange trees to the front and
potentially great views from a roof terrace, Casa Juan is an old house but
sturdily built and ready for a sympathetic renovation. With road access to
the door and parking a few metres away, this house needs only a bit of imagination
and a bit more money to turn it into a lovely home.

at 133,000 euros
Garden
Down a passageway from the village square, Casa San Anton is a village house
with that rarity, a garden to the rear capable of housing a pool and a small
garden around it. The house itself is perfectly habitable but would benefit
from modernisation. It has a host of rooms, an internal patio and terrace,
an outside toilet and a bathroom.

150,000 euros
Plans for renovation
Right on the edge of the village of Restabal, with land which gives room for
a garden and a pool. There is a building for which there are plans and a building
licence to start immediately to convert into a four or five-bedroomed house
with garage and views across the valley. Casa Raul is a prime property for
renovation into something really special.

View east
Perched above the Valle de Lecrin, this finca presently has a main building
on it which would allow the buyer to build a house of 100m2, and other outbuildings
which could be put to such uses such as studios, gazebos, etc. It would also
be a fine site for a small restaurant or bar, which would be well served by
the new road which has been built to connect the top of the valley with Cozvijar
and the motorway, some 10 km distant.

at 164,000 euros
Land
This is what so many people have been looking for. A house with enough land
to build any type of garden and pool combination that you want, or even build
another house or two with pools next door, sell them and recoup your initial
outlay. In the middle of the lower barrio of Albuņuelas with entrances from
two different streets, Casa Angel itself would need a complete restoration,
but by expanding it you could easily have four bedrooms and a very large garden,
or even two more houses with gardens and pools.

210,000 euros
Upper reception
A truly large house, on a 5000m2 plot, with orange groves, its own well, pool
and a plot of land of 2,516m2 with planning permission. This would be an ideal
building to convert into a hotel. In the village of Talara, which has a host
of shops, bars and restaurants, La Caņota has a frontage on the road but behind
disappears into its own world . The main house is on two levels and has more
rooms than you can shake a stick at, all of a good size.
