For Sale 165.000€ - Country House, Large Estate
17th century barn and large dwelling ready for conversion.
If this property was offered on the market in the UK it would be valued at 500,000 GBP.
Situated just outside the small village of La Font de la Figuera, ´The Spring by the Fig Tree´ this enormous bodega, (wine and olive oil factory)built of stones, is famous in the local village and has been owned by the current British owners for the past 12 years.
The property was purchased from a large extended Spanish noble family who owned the property for the past 10 generations, some of the descendants still live in the village and farm the land close by to the property, one of which was born at the property.
The current owners originally bought the property with intent to renovate the entire estate of 3 dwellings and 4 barns with other out-buildings, but due to health issues, sadly will not be able to complete this part of the project and so are looking for a like-minded buyer to take over this part of the renovation to make an impressive country estate.
Two properties have already been developed in to fantastic properties with period and original features being used where possible, property A is a 3 bed cottage let to a retired English gentleman, a carpenter by trade. Property C is the home of the owners. Property D will be added to the current owners home, leaving property B for sale.
The property currently has 2 buildings, a house of approximately 200 m2 over 2 levels, some works have been carried out to this property but is not liveable, this property would require a complete re-development in to a grand design. The other is a barn of approximately 250 m2 over 3 levels where there are original roof beams from when the barn was built some 400 years ago and are in perfect condition, an open space for your imagination to run wild. The current owners have many ideas of how to develop this property in to ta huge open plan dwelling with indoor swimming pool, games terrace with incredible features. Perspective buyers are welcome to look at owners home for ideas and inspiration to see what this property could become.
The owners have been collection materials and fittings over the last 10 years valued at approx 10,000 euros which could be included in the sale depending on what price is agreed.
This property has approx 1000 m2 of land adjacent to the track attached to the barn, planted with mature pine trees, if needed more land is available to lease/buy on the opposite side of the track, a baron plot of about 13,500 m2 and another plot of approx 9000 m2. These parcels of land are to be sold as separate contracts.
Electricity is currently supplied to all properties by industrial size solar panel system and back up generator, the supply would be adequate for temporary supply whilst the renovations were carried out, but a separate solar energy system would need to be installed in the near future. The owner could help with this as he worked in the construction and re-development industry for 25 years on heating, mains water, gas, drainage and electrical installations, he has also taken course here in Spain on solar system installation. He would be willing to help as much or little as the buyer needs them. The owner himself is limited to what manual labour he is able to do due to his arthritic knee, but happy to help in any way he can.
Water is supplied via a 125 metre deep bore hole, installed by the owners, this supply from the bore hole is connected to the property as a mains water supply for domestic water which has been analysed and is pure for drinking. A 49% share of the water supply will be included in the sale but buyer must install their own water pump or pay the entire cost of a new pump installation should it need to be replaced in the future.
Sewage runs into a huge swimming pool size septic tank that was constructed by the owner earlier this year, this filters the waste water that then drains in to the ground. It is situated on the land adjacent to the property on the opposite side of the track.
The land is communal as access to the septic tank maybe be needed, although this land is of property A it is not being used so could be available if needed.
This is a rare opportunity to find a property of this kind, in this condition on the market.
