Well-built modern low-energy house with large nice garden and olive grove, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees with stunning panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The olive grove generates a gross income of 5-7,000€ per year for those who want to grow olives as a hobby, but can easily be rented out if you don't want to work on it yourself. Here you live in harmony with nature, yet close to supermarkets and other services. Located in Illora, just northwest of Granada.

The house is extremely well maintained with all the surfaces in perfect condition and the heart of the property, is an impressive living room with 7 meters to the ceiling. A spacious hallway welcomes you and directly to the left, you have the first bedroom. To the right is a large fully equipped kitchen with dining area, leading to the bright and spacious living room. Next come two bathrooms and two more bedrooms, one of the bedrooms is en-suite.

The house was built with the highest quality materials, such as thermoblocks and 6 cm polyurethane foam, aluminium windows with break in cold bridges and double glazed windows with solar film and blinds. When the house was completed in 2008, the construction was way ahead of its time in terms of thermal insulation and heating systems. This is now highly topical, as energy prices have now risen significantly.

There is underfloor heating throughout the house, with a heat pump as the energy source. In addition, there is air conditioning in every room, as well as prepared for heating with solar cells. Energy certificate is B, but if just 2 solar cells are added, it is an A. After the energy report has been prepared, the air conditioning has been updated to Toshiba A++ (in 2020 and in 2022). The underfloor heating can also be set to cool down the home in the same energy-saving way. A new swimming pool in modern alberca stile has recently been completed. The property has its own well with great capacity for filling the pool, watering the garden and for the household.

Outside there is a covered terrace at the entrance and at the back, a large tiled terrace to the west. To the south and east are rose bushes, lavender and oleander bushes. There are two garages of 15 and 40 sqm respectively, the largest one has the same construction as the house. Electricity and water are brought there and can easily be adapted as an annex. A fast internet connection makes it a perfect place for working from home.

The location is very beautiful in a peaceful landscape with a wonderful view of the rolling countryside with olive groves and the Sierra Nevada mountains in the background, in winter covered with snow. The property is located between Alomartes and Tocón with a distance of 3 kms by asphalt road (3 minutes by car). There is also an unpaved road that is only 1.5 kms to Tocón, from where there are several daily bus connections to Granada. The cosy village of Alomartes has various shops, school and health centre. 

It takes 30 minutes to Granada airport, 42 minutes to Granada and only 1 hour and 15 minutes to Malaga airport. For those who like skiing in winter, it takes only 1 hour and 15 minutes to the ski resort of Sierra Nevada.
