What are the good features of the property and location

House is well insulated and efficiently heated.
In the heart of nature in the valley of the Rio Torrente, the cortijo is right on the boundaries of the Sierra Nevada Natural Park but within five minutes´ walk from the amenities of the picturesque ´slow´ village of Niguelas. Aguas Calmas lies between two traditional acequias (water-courses) dating from the time of the Arabs. Superb walking tracks and roads lead into the mountains. A paradise for hiking, cycling or lazing around the pool while enjoying extraordinary views.
he cortijo is five minutes´ drive from the Granada-Costa Tropical motorway but due to topography traffic can never be heard and the autovia is not visible. Niguelas is connected to Granada by a regular bus service. Ski slopes, pueblos blancos of the Alpujarra and beaches around Almunecar can all be reached in 45 minutes. Airports in Malaga and Almeria are 90 minutes away. The cortijo is at the base of two unsealed roads which lead to the high sierras. They are motorable by normal cars, but not after snowfalls! If you drive for 45 minutes up the mountain, the summit of Caballo, the third highest peak of the Sierra Nevadas (altitutde 3,100 metres) can be reached on foot in two to three hours. The cortijo is on the route of the GR7 footpath, connecting Andalusia with France.
