Full Description


A large 186m² detached farmhouse, in approx. 1000m² of land, situated in a small hamlet, 5 minutes from town.
It has a new roof and is in good structural condition with 5 rooms downstairs and 2 large rooms upstairs. This is a traditionally built farmhouse using rock, lime and sun-baked mud, a method that was being used is hot countries. before the time of Christ and is extremly strong. The main walls, the front wall, the main central wall and the back wall are approx. half a meter thick, the gable walls approx. 30cm thick, and are in very good condition, the gable When the owners purchased the property they commissioned a new roof which has maintained the property structurally sound. The ? weakness? of these tradition properties is the roof which is made up of wooden beams with cane on top, then a layer of mud and the curved tiles simply laid interlaced on top relying on their own weight to stay there. This is fine whilst they are maintained, if not the tiles can move, water gets in and washes the mud away, hence more tiles move, the cane goes black and rotten and the beams do as well. The end result of that can be seen in the house next door in the photos. As previously stated this property has a new modern roof.
It could be purchased along with another house we have for sale just next to it, ref: AL-IC-0467, which is a large detached farmhouse for total restoration in approx 1000m2 of land this property has had the roof collapse and we do not think there is much to save and that it simply needs pulling down giving much more open space to the main house making a perfect spot for a pool.

The property is set on a hillside and has great views, services are easily connected. Nearby there is a small village with bars shops, a bakers and a phamacy with the main town just five minutes away and the coast at 35 min.
