This property, with unimpeded views of the river Tagus, near the 1st Century Roman bridge (Emperor Trajan) at the medieval town of Alcántara, near the Spanish border wirth Portugal, in western Cáceres province, consists of 6,000 m2 with a small house, to which presently is attached a structure with 8 bedrooms. Separate garage.
The property was used as accommodation for engineers, when the huge hydro-electric dam in the Tagus river at Alcántara was built in the late sixties.
There are quite a number of mature fruit trees on the finca (orange, lemon, fig, olive), with sizeable areas for vegetable garden and or pasture.
The property would be excellent for turning into a country inn, due to its separate location in the countryside, yet within view of the main road from Alcántara to Portugal, and within minutes of both town and Roman-era monumental bridge.
All utilities are connected: Mains electricity, mains water, city sewage system, separate potable spring, water tank for irrigation. A landline telephone line can easily be reconnected, the cable to the house is already in place.
Lastly, here is a direct link to detailed information about the nearby TAGUS River National Park, opened in 2006, which is located just across the river Tagus, i.e. within only a few minutes' drive of the property in question: http://www.wildsideholidays.co.uk/natural/Extremadura/46-Extremadura/206-1-tajo-internacional .
A little-known fact about the 2nd Century Roman Bridge at Alcántara is that it was restored in 1812 by order of the Duke of Wellington, as the bridge had suffered serious damage during a battle here in 1809 during the Peninsular War.
All in all: Immediately habitable, all legal documentation up-to-date. A really fabulous quiet + peaceful location, lots of possibilities, lots of fertile soil for growing one's own, many mature fruit trees, a horse stable, various meadows, commercial possibilities as well, as B&B or small country inn, situated within sight of the main through-road to Portugal. The garden area of the property needs a good cutting back + cleanup.
The price: Extremely reasonable, even for recent economical conditions.
