Home description
This beautiful unique mountain villa is found nestling in the foothills of the Sierra Cabrera mountain range with its spectacular views across the mountains and valleys.
Torre de Cascada is an individually designed luxury villa recently completed and built in the Moorish style which is typical of this area. It is in its own large plot offering good seperation from adjacent properties. Although with all modern comforts and amenities its appearance is that of a grand medevial Moorish villa. Large intricately carved arched windows allow access to three separate terraces that each have a magnificent uninterrupted view of the surroundings.
The imposing double entrance gates bounded on one side by a natural rock outcrop lead to the large split level front terrace. Natural cane screen canopies shelter you from the sun whilst you relax with a drink and eat alfresco. From here you can also look down into the shaped pool with its adjoining whirlpool pool. This can also be used as a children's pool. The pool terrace has a large luxury wind-out awning for sun protection. Next to the whirlpool there is a large Caribean style sun shade to add character to the area.
All floors including the spiral staircase in the tower are marbled. The large lounge/diner has 3 double sliding windows to afford plenty of cool breezes to waft through from the terraces and balcony. For the winter months there is a wood effect gas fire built into the feature fireplace.
All 3 bedrooms and the lounge are airconditioned. There are two bathrooms and one shower room.
The immediate area is a select develoment of individualy designed villas near to the Moorish castle and village devlopment that has restaurants and a bar.
The villa is ideal for couples wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle or for families with children who can play in the pool and grounds. It is a short trip to the lively beaches and offers the best of both worlds.

The Costa de Almeria region
Cabrera is one of the most unspoiled parts of the Province of Almeria and has been influenced by the Moors circ. 13th to 15th century. You can see the Moorish influence all around the minute you enter Cortijo Cabrera and you will know straight away this area is unique.
Cortijo Cabrera lies on the Sierra Cabrera mountain range overlooking a golf course valley, and is just a short distance from the villages of Turre, Garrucha, Vera, Los Gallardos, Cuevas del Almanzor and Mojacar.
Cabrera Mountain range is an area partially designated as a nature reserve, It is approximately 20 minutes from the long sandy beaches on the coast, yet in the rural charms of the Almeria countryside.
The Cabrera region offers a wealth of leisure activities for all tastes: swimming, sun-bathing, sea fishing, scuba diving and windsurfing, superb mountain walks, golf tennis, and horse riding. For bathing enthusiasts, there is a marina at Garrucha. Within a 2 hours drive you are on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada.
Mojacar / Cabrera area
Local amenities consist of: - Cabrera Castle, tennis courts, horse riding, restaurants, golf course, fantastic mountain walks, caves, ten minutes drive to Mojacar beach, which has beaches with water sports and entertainment’s and also wilder untouched virgin beaches. The breathtaking vistas of Sierra Cabrera make it one of the most spectacular areas not far from the beaches of Costa de Almeria. Visitors to the area are enchanted by the stark grandeur of the hills and mountains, the fragrant beauty of the orange and lemon groves and almond trees nestling among the foothills. The tranquillity is only disturbed by the distant chiming of bells of the herds of goats and sheep which, tended by their shepherds, timelessly roam the countryside.
Riding stables, golf, tennis bowling and water sports are all within easy reach and for those quieter moments you can relax at the snack bar by the Castle Arch or enjoy a superb meal with a choice of Spanish or Morrocan restaurants, like Los Pastores in the heart of the village. The Sierra Cabrera is an ideal location for those wishing to become full- time residents or just seeking a relaxing break from the pressures of everyday life.
A car is a necessity in the village of Cabrera.
