The swimming pool is located to the south of the house and is surrounded by a sunbathing terrace with a breath-taking view over the city and the mountains.

Next to the garage there is a large flat piece of land where the water source and the water reservoirs are located. This area is situated next to the private forest, which has an original old stone wall in between. The water is harnessed via a very historic 80 metre deep water well and the water deposits hold a vast amount of water (take just two hours to fill from the plentiful water well). The water deposits can equally be filled with rain water. The water is pumped into the house and has been tested and passed as drinkable. The septic tank is located next to the wine cellar.

The fruit orchards has fruit trees including; young olive trees, quince, pear, fig, plum, persimmon, apple, medlar and more.

Vineyard that is tiered and produces enough grapes to produce a good amount of wine and there is a small wine cellar to store the wine (to include barrels).

The vegetable plots have very fertile soil and you can grow all kinds of vegetables here. To help with the growing of your own vegetables, there is well water available for use next to the vegetable plots. This provides free, unlimited water to make vegetable growing easier and very cost effective!

The private forest is vast and is made up of cork oak, holm oak and red oaks trees. The trees are specially protected and as owners of just under 10,000M2 of private forest, it is permissible to clean out the trees and take 10,000kg of wood per annum (10 tons of wood) if desired.

The land is fenced & gated with access at the top and bottom of the land.

Services to the property

If desired the property can be connected to the mains water supply. A quote can be given by a company called Aqualia. Currently, a historic water well supplies the property with ample drinkable water.

The property is connected to mains electricity and if desired solar panels can be connected.

Off grid living would be possible here with the installation of solar panels that would be permissible alongside well water and also wood for heating from the private forest.

Tourism project

The property is ideal for this purpose with three separate units ready to greet guests. One could be lived in and two holiday let or, rent out the whole property to extended families who want to holiday together but with some independence. Or to friends who equally want to be together yet have some privacy from each other. Holiday letting the entire property during the Spring/Summer/Autumn could raise 4000 per week. Off season/winter (longer term rentals) are equally possible because of the heating in each unit.

Self-sufficient living

Self sufficiency could be a reality here with enough space for livestock and vegetable growing. There is already a fruit orchard and of course the barn is ideal for keeping animals during cooler/wetter months. The land area is sufficient and varied enough for all manner of activities.

The owners of the property (before the current owners/sellers) lived at the property completely self-sufficiently and had all manner of animals and grew all types of crops.

In the modern times we find ourselves in and with the success of the likes of Airbnb, the separate guest accommodation would also be a very good source of income to supplement a self-sufficient way of life.

Available for purchase furnished

The owners will sell the property with the furniture (minus personal items) via separate negotiation. This would present a buyer with a, ready-to-go place in the sun to call home!
