265 000€

083B/25

A unique opportunity to buy a traditional mountain olive finca with a stone farmhouse originally built in 1925 and totally renovated about 10 years ago to create a comfortable family home.

Located less than 3km from the village of Rasquera the 2.3 hectare (23.222m2) property is accessed via a quiet mountain track, which is good enough for normal car use.

Approached through a forest which screens the property on three sides, the parking area and sheds are located near the entrance, with the two-storey farmhouse about a third of the way into the property and the stone-walled olive terraces fanning out to the back to the back of the finca.

From the (330 X 490m2) entrance hall, the sunny fitted family kitchen (625 X 430m2), with natural light on three sides is located to the front of the house. A door at the far end of the kitchen leads out to a covered porch, next to the traditional stone water cisterna. The kitchen has a built-in, wood burning range, for all year around cooking and for heating in winter.

The (520 X 370m2) living/guest room with wood burner and exposed stone walls is to the right of the entrance hall, with the staircase located at the back of the house.

The first floor consists of 3 south facing, spacious double bedrooms, one en-suite, and a WC washroom. The first room, which is currently being used as a studio, has large sliding glass windows which flood the room with natural light. From here there are views over the land and olive groves. The pipe from the wood stove in the sitting room below, works as a radiator in the colder months.

To the end of the passage is a WC, and to the front of the house the master bedroom with windows on two sides and an en-suite shower room.

Access to a large, tiled back terrace is at the far end of the passage, perfect for watching the sunsetting or for accessing the house directly onto the first floor.

Electricity is provided via a good solar system housed in a three roomed shed to the edge of the parking area. The system is less than 10 years old and is enough for all household needs.

The property has a year around agricultural water connection, with a 15 000-litre traditional cisterna used for extra water storage.

The house, which is tiled throughout, has exposed wooden beams in all rooms, an insulated roof and all windows are double glazed. There are two wood burners downstairs for heating in winter. All bedrooms have ceiling fans.

The finca also has a wooden donkey stable, big enough for 2 donkeys, raised vegetable beds and a chicken house.

There are around 130 old olive trees still in production, some large carob trees and plenty of natural wildflowers and herbs. The land is not sprayed.

This is a lovely, private property, in a peaceful rural location with stunning mountain and valley views. The lively little village of Rasquera, which is less than 3km away, has all the usual amenities including bars, bakeries, butchers, supermarket, junior school, doctor surgery and public swimming pool.
