This house of the week is a sprawling ‘finca’ complex in Almería with gardens, fountains, a swimming pool and a tennis court spread around its vast area.

Before you even enter the house, you are greeted by a large entrance porch with tall stone pillars that provide an aristocratic air to the property, and a separate garage building with room for loads of cars. Inside, there are 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, so there’s plenty of space to have friends, family and staff stay over. Five of the bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms and the master bedroom on the second floor leads out to a large terrace balcony with fantastic views over the grounds.

On the ground floor, most of the rooms have low ceilings and haven’t changed much from how they would have looked when the house was new: traditional flagstone floors, wrought iron chandeliers in the dining room, a huge stone fireplace and furniture made of sensuous, dark wood. There is even a bodega with room to store hundreds of bottles of wine, plus an entertainment room that contains a bar, library and games room all in one.

At the same time, the kitchen is fully fitted with modern appliances and the living rooms and bathrooms have all been updated to meet the highest modern standards of living. There is double glazing throughout and solar panels on the roof. However, if you do decide to buy this traditional property in Spain, you’ll probably want to spend all your time outside relaxing by the swimming pool, strolling through your private olive groves or firing up the barbecue for your guests. That’s living, alright!
