Multi-level village house with views from the mountains to the sea

The upper terraces look out across the Castle of Casares, the white roofs of the old town, the Sierra Crestellina mountains and down to the Mediterranean Sea. This resale 3 bedroom detached villa in Casares stands in the centre of Casares Pueblo and offers a built area of 185 square metres distributed over several levels, paired with 80 square metres of terrace space.

Entrance level and first floor

The front door opens into an entrance hall that leads directly to a separate dining area and the kitchen. An interior patio on the ground floor brings daylight and fresh air into the middle of the house, which is an important detail in a deep village footprint. Stairs lead up to the first floor, where the main living room sits rather than at street level. This room has a fireplace and a balcony facing the Genal Valley and the Sierra Crestellina mountains. One large bedroom and a bathroom with a bathtub share this first floor, allowing someone to sleep and wash on the same level as the main sitting room.

Second floor bedrooms and storage

Two further bedrooms and a second bathroom fitted with a shower occupy the second floor. Alongside the bedrooms, this level includes two large rooms currently used for storage. For a buyer who does not need that much cupboard space, these rooms provide the square metres for a study, a workshop or a playroom without altering the main bedrooms. A terrace leads off this second floor, looking towards the village streets, the castle and the sea.

Terraces, outdoor space and the top level

Unlike a coastal house on a flat suburban plot, this 3 bedroom detached villa in Casares is a village house where the outdoor space is stacked vertically rather than spread around the perimeter as a garden. Between the ground-floor interior patio, the first-floor balcony, the second-floor terrace and the top level, those 80 square metres of outdoor areas give each floor its own outside corner. The main open space is the rooftop terrace, which has an open 360-degree outlook across the historic village centre, the Castle of Casares, the Genal Valley, the Sierra Crestellina and the Mediterranean. A large laundry room sits directly on the roof level. Having water and enclosed space up here makes it straightforward to wash and dry clothes outside, or to adapt the room into a summer kitchen to serve the roof terrace without carrying trays up and down the stairs.

What to check when you view

Because this 3 bedroom detached villa in Casares is arranged over four distinct levels, the staircases are part of daily life; a buyer should walk from the entrance hall to the roof terrace to see how the climb feels. It is also worth checking the structure and natural light of the two second-floor storage rooms and the rooftop laundry room if the plan is to turn them into working rooms or a summer kitchen, as well as seeing how parking and unloading work in the narrow streets of Casares Pueblo.
