A small cottage made of local stones, situated on the hills surrounding the village, on the south-western slope. This small building leans on one of its terraces and is placed on the first terrace, which is raised above the tarmac road next to it. The owner took care of its restoration as for what the main structure is concerned. Next to the renovated building, you will find a former farmyard surrounded by a stone wall, and also offering a troglodyte room excavated in the terrace that borders it. This courtyard could be the subject of an interesting annex to the existing building.
The path ends a little further on with a loop, so it has extremely little use. In the 2 hours we spent on site, we did not see a single car. The cottage is entirely OFF-GRID, so you are neither connected to the public water network nor to electricity. On the opposite side of the courtyard, adjacent to the house, you have a rainwater tank, which collects run-off water. Ancestral system and typical of the area. You will need to provide for the installation of solar panels to supply you with electricity.
The land is developed on 3 terraces, all in length, and offers you very impressive views of the magnificent hills forming this still green region. The interior of the province of Alicante is completely unknown, and yet this hinterland is a real jewel for anyone who prefers the countryside, almond and olive trees and hills. A typical Mediterranean landscape, and less than 45min from the beaches ! The region is popular with lovers of walking and nature, and all activities related to the medium mountains.
The village consists of a thousand inhabitants. At less than 8 minutes by car, it offers you all the basic necessities commerces: mini-market, 2 bakeries, butcher's shop, restaurants, bars, health centre open every day, school, etc... And, moreover, you will have a complete and very thorough market, famous in the whole region, and available every Saturday. The village is charming and the village community is very warm and lively. You will always find someone sitting at a table, having their coffee in front of the fountain.
Looking for a more low-tech, quieter life, in a charming place and less than 3/4h from the sea and less than an hour from the airport? Don't hesitate, give us a call.
PS: This finca can be sold with a large adjacent plot of land, the whole forming an entity of some 10 hectares, and composed of woods and cultivated terraces. The complete price for this ensemble is 140.000€.
