Spectacular 100 years old manor house, needing only the last stages of reform. All heavy and structural work has already been finalized.
-This outstanding property of 9,000 m2 is situated in an exclusive area with substantial homes, each in its own large grounds, in lovely countryside not far from the medieval city of Trujillo, its grounds planted with olive- and a variety of mature fruit trees, on the side of a hill, providing fabulous far-reaching views towards the South, West and North-West.
This specific area (some 800 meters above sea level)enjoys a salubrious micro-climate (mild climate both in summer & winter).
The estimated cost of the final stage of reform is calculated at under 30.000 euros for mainly labour costs, since most building materials such as new windows + inner + outer doors, and various other supplies are included in the price.
The house consists of two floors each measuring approx. 130 m2. The total area of the house including spacious patios on its three sides measures approx. 400m2 living space.
-Ground floor: Sizeable living- and dining room, kitchen (Please note that the present owner had planned to convert the present kitchen into a bedroom or study. Since this present kitchen is still functional, this would make the house habitable right away, for new owners wanting to finalize the remainder of the reform work themselves). Bathroom.
At the end of the main house, facing south, there is a sunroom with large traditional fireplace, opening onto the large patio of approx. 120 m2 with fabulous views of the entire countryside.
A further large patio runs along the side and in back of the main house, measuring a total of approx. 100m2 in all.
Traditional domed ceilings throughout, ensuring coolness in summer and warmth in winter.
-Second floor: Traditional stone stairs lead to 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and the master bedroom annex bathroom. The master bedroom opens onto a sizeable terrace/balcony enjoying fabulous views towards the West and South.
-Water is provided by a borehole + electric pump, with ample capacity for both the house, a pool and for irrigation of the fruit trees: 35 olive trees in different varieties, i.e. for producing one's own olive oil and also for consumption olives, and almond-, fig-, plum trees + some recently planted lemon trees.
-Electricity: Has been connected, with interior cabling needing finishing touches.
-Plumbing: All basic installation has been finalized for the three bathrooms, with their sanitary ware available but yet to be installed.
-Telephone: A telephone + fast internet connection can be supplied via satellite. Mobile phone cover is excellent.
-The access road to this lovely area on the side of a hill has been totally resurfaced and improved with drainage systems.
The property is located within a few minutes' drive of a nearby village with ample shopping facilities.
The building is structurally already renovated inside and out, with a fully finished roof (all reform has been carried out already on walls, roof, domed ceilings, windows, doors, stairs, some cabling + plumbing, boundary walls + impressive entrance gate etc.), and the property now needs finishing touches inside, such as the final installation of windows, doors, bathroom + kitchen fixtures, electrical installation, some floors and final painting & rendering of the walls.
There are three entrance gates to the property:
- Entrance gate into a nice approx. 40m2 patio, which gives entrance to the main door of the house. In back of this patio there are stone stairs leading into the olive grove, separated from the patio in back of the house by a massive retaining wall built in traditional stone. In this grove there are various flat areas, suitable for installing a swimming pool.
- Ornamental entrance gate to the main patio at the south side of the house.
- Separate Gate (needs to be reset) into the grounds, leading into a flat area of some 70 meters length by 5 meters wide (for evt. parking + vegetable garden + pool), with at its end some traditional stone steps leading into the lower-lying main patio, and so to the house.
The remainder of the grounds, planted with fruit- and olive trees behind the house, slopes uphill, although not too steep. The entire grounds are walled in by traditional stone walls in good state.
The wall separating the property from the country lane running alongside it needs some restacking in a few places, due to slight damage sustained by delivery of building materials.
The present owner heightened the walls of the house by using modern large chambered bricks. He planned to render this new upper part of the walls in a colour which would be in keeping with the lower walls of traditional stone.
Many more photographs of the various details of the substantial reform already effected are available.
This property is priced for a quick sale. Conditions: 10% down payment, the balance within 45 days. The present mortgage, of Euros 110,000, can be subrogated to any new purchaser.
