Adobe Home Perched on a Hillside
Property Description
​
This simple adobe home sits at the top of a small 1000-square-meter (0.25-acre) lot in a quiet area about 10 minutes from Malacatos.
​
As the home is perched on a hillside, it has lovely views of the valley that you can enjoy while you relax in a hammock on the patio. The house has a master bedroom with an adjoining master bathroom, three additional bedrooms, and an additional bathroom.
Outside there is a barbeque area that has a storage room and an unfinished bathroom.
​
In the middle part of the property there is a small garden with a drip irrigation system installed. At the bottom part of the property, there is even a volleyball court with night lights.
​
The home was built about five years ago and is primarily built from adobe construction materials. Adobe is a practical local building material that helps regulate indoor temperatures. This means that the house retains cool air from the night making the house cooler in the daytime when it is hotter outside, and vice versa. While the home has simple finishes, it is completely livable, and it would be easy to make upgrades if you want nicer finishes.
Come make this quaint house your home today!
