This property has been sold subject to contract, thank you for all your interest and private responses!

Kitchen, Bathroom and Lounge building with Solar System

This fabulous and vast finca (farm) comprises of four separate buildings and is situated in the most spectacular position with wonderful views of the Poqueria Valley (1 hour from the ski slopes and 1 hour from the beach).

Current owners have received permission with a proyecto de actuacion in 2018 to re-build a two-storey, 5 bedroom home with a surface area of 308 m2 and a separate 88m2 building, with a further 25m2 vivienda on the catastral. The two other buildings which have already been renovated, consist of a 36m2 kitchen, lounge and bathroom and a separate 25m2 bedroom. All documents, architect's drawings and builder’s quotations are ready for the new owners to continue to evolve to their taste and start their dream home. The existing owners have also built two substantial retaining walls surrounding the main house to rebuild which includes two very spacious storage rooms (almacens).

The cortijo is set in just under 17 hectares of land (over 40 acres), which includes two stone eras (threshing circles). Current owners have also planted a vineyard of just under 400 mostly cabinet sauvignon vines. As well as the beautiful oak forest on the land there are a huge amount of other mature fruit trees existing on the land, the owners have also started planting a permaculture food forest that includes hundreds of different species of fruit and nut tree varieties. There is also a large caravan and several animal friendly enclosures, wood stores, tool shed and a workshop spaces. There is a very large underground water storage tank (aljibe), three large pools (albercas) and a big pond, which attracts much wildlife. Access is via a good track, approximately 15 minutes from the tarmac road.

This project is waiting for someone to come and complete this finca to its full potential. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants privacy, peace and quiet and the good life.

Services:
Water is supplied by a spring, which is owned by the property and is fed via an underground pipe to the cortijo, renovated building and a very large water storage tank (aljibe). There is a gas water heater fitted for the kitchen and bathroom. Electricity is provided by a substantial 6KW solar system however mains electricity transformers exist on the boundaries of the property and could be connected if the new owners do not wish to live completely off grid. There is a good telephone and internet connection in both the two renovated spaces and caravan. There are three huge albercas (above ground water storage containers between 100,000 litres to 150,000 litres each), a pond and a pool.

Network of water storage containers set up over 100,000 litres each

Income opportunities:
A possible rural tourism (casa rural status with all the additional buildings as a rural retreat). Vast amount of land can mean that even more than the four existing buildings could be applied for. Planning permission for house and out buildings includes business of bees for honey production, vineyard of cabinet sauvignon vines, hemp production and a tree nursery (some of these projects have already commenced and will be sold with the property). The plans for the house have been designed by a recognised architect who is the director of a sustiainable building course for London's Architectural Association and features many custom and bespoke features however the new owners will be able to put their own taste to the building. All architects project, drawings, building quotes etc can be supplied to the new owner. The existing owners are very large advocates of permaculture practices and have started to grow a substantial food forest for any one who is looking to protect themselves against an uncertain future. Many events such as weddings and educational courses (many sustainable building courses and permaculture basic pdc teachers taught here) have been conducted on the property. A lot of furniture, tools and building materials will also be included in the sale. This beautiful property has huge potential and is waiting for someone to turn it into their dream permaculture home/retreat. Completely self sufficient off-grid finca, with a plentiful drinkable water source from a spring owned by the property (another sping exists on the land but has not been captured by a spring box from current owners as they already have a plentiful source that runs 24/367) which comes out of a water cave and straight into an underground water storage tank and piped to all the buildings. Substantial solar system of only a few years old which suplements all power for the farm and house including power tools and washing machines, freezers, projectors and computers etc.
