Property description

We are proud to offer for sale this lovely Villa in the Mountains, on the outskirts of Aspe.

This 3 bed villa is situated in the lovely mountains, and has the views across the whole valley.  A short 5-6 minute drive to the town, all on asphalt roads, this house sits above the road, giving good privacy.  Whilst it does have neighbours, it's not overlooked at all.

As you enter the land, the pool area with changing rooms and pump room are to the right, with the house and car port to the left, making an excellent party area, and space for plenty of cars.

The house itself is in need updating, however, the structure is good, and the main updates required are the windows and bathroom.  The space flows well, and this would make a lovely cozy house for someone wanting the real spain experience.

Don't miss this opportunity for a fantastic home with real potential to add value, and watch the video for more details.
