There can be no doubting that the location of this attractive country home is appealing.  In a south facing position on the hillside just above the small village of Carataunas, it looks out across an expansive vista of the interlocking slopes that criss-cross the picturesque countryside of the Alpujarras, a drive of just 45 minutes though which reveals the Mediterranean beaches of the Costa Tropical.
This pleasing outlook can be fully appreciated from the attractive grounds of the property, where terraces of typical terracotta tile adjoin both floors of the house and look down onto the swimming pool and its surrounding lawn and terrace. To the side, a covered barbecue area is perfectly positioned for the preparation of meals al fresco.

Equally enticing is the welcoming interior, which exudes quality and comfort throughout its spacious and homely rooms. Elegant soft furnishings, colourful artwork and smart floors of terracotta are to be found in the open plan living area, beyond which a corridor leads to the downstairs bedrooms. Upstairs, both bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities and access to a partly covered terrace via French windows that frame the picturesque vista.

At El Sabuco, you are in the heart of the Alpujarras and perfectly positioned to explore this exceptionally beautiful area. Follow the country road on which the house is situated and wind your way up through the hilly countryside behind to reach the pretty mountain villages of Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira, which nestle in the hillside below the National Park of the Sierra Nevada, against an impressive backdrop of the high peaks. Pampaneira is only 8km from the house and offers some good local restaurants within its delightful network of narrow cobbled streets, whilst the lively market town of Órgiva is just 10 minutes away by car.

Alternatively, head north to discover the ancient city of Granada with its fascinating old Islamic quarter and imposing Alhambra palace and gardens (just 50 minutes away) or enjoy a scenic drive of some 45 minutes through the mountains to reach the beaches of the Costa Tropical.
