House

The house is a newly built house of 105m2, with a closed porch, a fully equipped kitchen (oven, freezer, induction hob, built-in refrigerator), cozy bathroom (with bath and rain shower) and three bedrooms.

There is a connection for a washing machine. 

The walls are extra insulated. The windows are double-glazed and we have made hinges on the north side for extra protection in winter. 

The house has large windows and feels light inside. It has a fantastic view on the Dragon Mountain. 

Heating comes from the stove, which can heat the house in a short time. 

It is possible to build an extra house on the piece of land, so part of the land is a building plot. (We already have a building permit for a 40m2 storage building, but you can change that into a bigger house as well.)

 

 

Water & electricity

The house is equipped with a new solar panel system with 18 solar panels (7Kw), an inverter (7000w) and 4 batteries (14Kw). There is a backup generator in case of emergency, but in the last 3 years we have only had to use it twice because we forgot to turn off a small radiator at night. Most of the time, we have plenty of electricity we don’t use. The house is not connected to the grid, it is completely off-grid, but there is a grid if you want to. 

The drains are connected to the hub's sewage system.

 

Rainwater from the roof is collected in 2 large 1000 liter tanks in the front yard and a 10,000-liter tank buried in the ground behind the house. 

 

The main water of the house is natural spring water, which comes from the nearby municipality. It is heated through an electrical boiler.

 

We just received the authorization to dig a well for which we had to wait 2 years. This means the land is no longer dry land, but it has irrigation rights. 

 

​

LAND AND GARDEN

 

Food forest

For the past 2 years we have practiced natural farming on the small farm (7250m2). Although we had no irrigation water at that time, the land has been greatly improved by intensive sowing of green manures and fertilization with organic manure. The land has 150 almond trees, which provide enough almonds for 2 years of almond milk/flowers storage, and we have planted more than 150 new trees, a variety of different shrubs and perennials. A mix of pioneering trees, fruit trees and different layers for a food forest to increase biodiversity. (Goji berry, apples, pears, cherries, apricots, paulownia, raspberries, olives, nectarine, shizuan pepper, pistachios, roses, honeysuckle, grapes, figs, lavender, herbs, asparagus, rhubarb, an evergreen hedge, acacia, apple berry, plums, strawberry trees, quince, mispel,…)

 

Vegetable Garden

We have established a vegetable garden in front of the house. And a terrace vegetable garden on the land with irrigation pipes. 

Greenhouse

There is a high-quality greenhouse imported from Belgium. It has special material that can withstand hail. 

 

Outdoor bathroom

There is an outdoor bathroom made of pallet wood, with a bathtub and shower. Great for enjoying cold showers in summer or a hot bath under the stars!

 

Different terraces

There are several places to relax and sit/dine.

 

Carport

There is a wooden carport to protect the car.

 

Well

After 2 years of waiting, we have received legal approval to dig a well. This means that the land has irrigation rights. 

​

Legal

All the papers are in order. There is an escritura and the house is registered. For all the extra things we have built, we have legal permits from the town hall. 

This means the sale can go very quickly and you don't have to worry about any inconveniences. 

Foreigners need a NIE number and non-Spanish speakers need a translator/lawyer to buy the house. (We know a reliable person.)

 

What is included?

• The house, which is being sold without furniture (if you would like to buy it with furniture, we can talk about it).

• 7235m2 of land with irrigation rights

• Small shed for storage of tools (2 by 3 meters) which houses the converter and the batteries of the solar system.

• Protected area for the generator

• A greenhouse of 18m2

• Electric fence around a large part of the property

• Outside bathroom and an outside kitchen area with water connection and electrical sockets.

• Chicken coop

• Worm compost farm

• A building permit for an additional building of 40m2 that we have already paid for. 

• License for the well (engineer has been paid - we can help you with the digging of the well too).

• Fully equipped solar panel system with a generator

• A 12.000 l rain water catchment system.

 

Costs

- Water is available for free, you only pay a small annual fee for pipe maintenance and garbage collection.

- Electricity is free thanks to the solar panel system.

- The annual tax for the house and land is 150€.

- That's it! :-) 

 

The surroundings

The property is based in the mountains at 1100m hight. Nerpio, the closest village, is known for its centennial walnut trees and beautiful hiking trails in the mountains. This small town of 1000 inhabitants has 7 springs with fresh drinking water. There is a school, several stores, bars and restaurants, and a health center. 

Our house is in a nearby hub in the mountains (10min) where there are about 20 other houses. Most of the houses are vacation homes. People come only during weekends or vacations. This means that it is very quiet and relaxed here. Perfect if you like a more rural life, without being completely disconnected from society. We are very lucky to have open minded & conscious people living around us. 

 

Why are we selling the house?

We love our house! For the past 3 years we have put so much care, love and work into it. Especially now that we got permission for the well, which means a huge difference for the food forest. But… Our association got a great opportunity to guard a big piece of land 4 minutes down the valley and we can't maintain both properties, so we will move there to carry out the project. We hope someone will become very happy in our little paradise! 

 

PS: We would like to sell to people who want to live here permanently. So not for rural tourism or as a vacation home. Thank you for your understanding!
