This well-kept finca, sitting on its own knoll outside a lovely mountain village, and enjoying magnificent wide-ranging views, is a real delight for new owners dreaming of growing their own.
The vineyard is stocked with 200 mature tempranillo vines (red) and 100 mature viura (white) vines, with a more than ample annual production for one's own needs.
Then there are some 120 mature fruit trees, amongst which:
14 cherry, 18 various apple, 12 orange, 12 pear, 10 fig, 5 almond, 2 hazelnut, 6 plum, 6 peaches + apricot, 2 year-long bearing lemon trees. Then assorted other fruit trees such as quince, etc.
There are 10 olive trees on the property, planted 9-10 years ago exclusively for producing one's own virgin olive oil. Annual results are now at some 45-50 litres, and within a couple of years should be at some 60+ litres/year.
Lastly, behind the house is the property's holm-oak wood, for more than ample production of one's own firewood, plus giving shelter and shade to the main house. The situation is such that no-one will ever be able to look onto the property, so total privacy is assured.
Lower downhill, there are some small summer retreats of locals, but they do not interfere in any way.
Obviously, this property needs new owners who'd love to be active in their own vineyard-garden-orchard- vegetable plot. The air is pure, views of the surrounding mountainside and valley below are far-reaching and totally unimpeded. The lower lying substantial village with all amenities is within 5 - 10 minutes distance on foot.
On the property there is ample space to put in a swimming pool, if so desired. This is a thoughtfully planned and very well tended smallholding, situated in the Sierra de Gredos, Extremadura's 'Little Switzerland', with it own agreeable micro-climate. Yet, the distance to Madrid: 2 hours by road. To Cáceres city: one hour. To the Monfragüe National Park: Twenty minutes. Within a few years, the new 'AVE' bullet train's trajectory from Madrid to Lisbon shall run within half an hour's drive of the property. At present, the nearest train station on the line Madrid-Lisbon is within 25 minutes' drive.
In nine years of involvement in this region, I have never seen a similarly well-planned, well-kept property. All one can say is that the outside of the buildings might want a new coat of paint, which would spruce up the whole.
The property comes with all tools, mechanical 'mule', modern winemaking equipment, stainless steel vats etc., etc. included in the purchase price. A moderen oil-fired central heating plant is installed, with radiators throughout the main house. Three open fireplaces in all.
Situated just outside a lovely mountain village, the property enjoys a telephone line with ADSL fast internet connection ready to be installed. Mains electricity + water are installed.
The main house plus outbuilding (toolshed, garage, wine cellar, above which is a nice studio or private den) are in excellent condition. There is a separate well for irrigating the land, and an extensive irrigation system has been installed.
