Full Description


An extremely unusual little treasure, a house requiring non-structural renovation, with a huge plot, of which just under 10,000m2 is mature, productive olive trees and the balance part urban land, all within 300 metres of the village

This is one of a number of extremely interesting properties that have come onto the market recently. Consisting of 19,720m2 of useable land, with a beautiful river and a fascinating cave running along one side of the plot, this lovely country house only requires a small amount of renovation, has a front patio with views of the village, and a rear courtyard with two outbuildings, and around 4000m2 of buildable land – all within a short walk of the village. A true treasure, one not often to be found!

Located just outside the village, one would never know, when on the finca, how close one was to ‘civilisation’, as it is completely surrounded by countryside with wonderful views of the hills and mountains around. And all along one side of the plot is a delightful river, with the water rushing over the rocks and past a huge, impressive cave, visible from a side, walled garden, which we will call the ‘river’ garden.

The property also benefits from a large car parking area, plenty of garden area, and one of the most impressive swimming pools I have seen – 66m2 according to the catastro, 12 x 6m measured on site, with plenty of space around it.

This country property has huge potential – the outbuildings could be converted into a guest annexe, or one could use the urban land to build a number of other houses, all part of the town hall PGOU, or town urban plan.

Gates lead into a a car park. Ahead is the house and garden. To the right, the rest of the plot stretches out into the countryside, with the beautiful straight lines of the olive trees glistening in the sunshine, as far as one can see. There are over 180 mature olive trees, currently being looked after by a local farmer,and there is more land available for planting. At the far end of the olive grove, where now a neighbouring house stands, there used to be a water wheel, or NORIA, and the current owners still remember it, and remember bathing in the river as children in the long Summer holidays.

Ahead is a garden area, and the house, with its front covered porch with views towards the village, facing South East. And to the left of the garden area, sweeping steps lead up to the pool area.

The house opens into a large living room with large fireplace at one end (6 x 3.75m). A large bedroom leads off the living room to the right (4 x 3.75m), and to the left a door leads into the kitchen (4 x 2m) which is very basic at the moment, with the bathroom next door (2.5 x 2m). From the living room, a short corridor straight ahead leads to two further very large bedrooms, to left and right (sizes 4 x 3.2m and 4.5 x 3.2m) and at the far end of the corridor a door leads out to the rear walled patio. The patio is open, but there is a covered area to the right (around 20m2) and side door back out to the garden, plus a store room (20m2) to the left, and the entrance to the walled garden, or ‘river’ garden, where one can contemplate the river and the cave beyond.

This is a perfect, easy renovation project. There are any number of possibilities with this property, ideal for everything from rural tourism, to building further houses, or even looking to live as self sufficiently as possible. And all within a stroll from the village, with plenty of excellent facilities. This property is unique – it will not be on the market for long!
