The cottage underwent a full and sympathetic restoration around 4 years ago, and has been finished to an extremely high standard throughout. It would be a great place to live for someone on a more limited budget, but its size also makes it an ideal weekend retreat or the perfect holiday home. It occupies a glorious 15,000m2 orchard with hundreds of mature trees, no near neighbours and some of the best views in Europe. The surrounding area is rich in wildlife and fauna, and has been blessed with wonders like the Garganta Verde (Europe´s largest Griffon Vulture nest site) and El Torreon, the tallest mountain in this part of Spain. It´s the perfect place to enjoy nature, and the land would suit anyone with a pony or two - there are great walks and rides starting right at the entrance!
The park area is highly protected and no development can spoil the natural beauty of the area, nor the peace and quiet. The cottage has mains electricity and a spring-fed well provides abundant free water. It would be possible to connect ´Iberbanda´ for broadband internet access, as well as a ´phone. Unusually for this area, the cottage has been registered as a house (72m2) and is entirely legal (that took over 2 years!). The accommodation has been beautifully finished with period features, hand-made terracotta tiled floors, exposed wooden ceilings, etc ... and was the subject of a number of magazine ´decor´ features following its renovation - these included ´Casa & Campo´, ´Living Spain´, ´Spain´, and ´Spanish Homes´.. I´d be more than happy to send copies of such articles to you in due course. There´s a large Sitting Room with a period stone fireplace and cast-iron log-burner, a fully integrated country-style Kitchen, one Double Bedroom (currently furnished as a twin), and a gorgeous Bathroom. There´s a small attached storage shed, plus a terrace and pergola´d dining area which makes the most of those incredible breath-taking views.
