About the Owners

Mel and Julie Hughes are a retired couple aged 61 and 58 who have lived in Mojácar for the last nine years. Arruzafa is the main house that they live in for most of the year when it is not rented - this is equipped as a home would be equipped not just as a rental property.

Why the owner chose a home in this location
We came to Mojácar to visit a friend in 2002 who had purchased a villa here and immediately fell totally in love with the place - it was and is still predominantly Spanish. Mojácar has managed to become a resort on the south coast of Spain without the normal clutter of burger bars and fish & chip restaurants. There are miles of open beaches, small sandy coves and open countryside for sunbathing and walking. A short drive out takes you to other beaches - some busy some not - or to other towns set on the coast or up in the mountains - the real Spain is still available.

Unique benefits of the property
Arruzafa is 250 metres from the beach and is situated in a quiet street with it's own personal road leading to double tall entrance gates - a 2 metre wall surrounds 1,500 square metres of sub tropical gardens with full height cacti, rubber trees and palms. The garden has a large swimming pool, roofed seating area, roofed barbeque area and numerous sunbathing areas on grass or gravel - everything that is required to entertain family or friends. There is a large coved elevated terrace to the front for eating or relaxing plus another 'Morrocan' terrace to the side. The property has a side entrance leading to the beach side road which has numerous restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance - there is no need to use a car once you are here if you don't wish to.
