Full Description: The property is set above the market town of Orgiva and below the village of Cañar
in the Alpujarra which is on the south side of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
This area is famous for the white villages of Papaneira, Bubiòn and Capileira and the Alpujarra is a valley which was brought to life by the moors at the beginning of the 7th Century when they built the Alhambra Palace. It was a garden of Eden in the valleys south of Granada towards the sea.
The property and land are very private and totally fenced and have been well maintained by its Spanish owners. You enter through gates of the road from Orgiva to Cañar. Once you have driven into the property along a well made track there is a large flat area for parking and turning.
Walking down through the old olive trees you can´t help but feel that you are in something special and are looking at a way of life that is disappearing.
As you walk downwards toward the house, you have a sense of peace and stability. The house is in very good order with two bedrooms, bathroom, open plan sitting room, kitchen and dining areas. In front of the house there is a walled terrace with seating which looks out over the lovely valleys below.
Behind the house and up on a terrace is an alberca (a water deposit holding tank) which is fed by a natural spring, the water is cold and clear and wonderful to drink.
Walking around the land there is another natural spring and shaded areas where the owner grows vegetables. There is just about every kind of fruit that is grown in this area, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds and lots of grapevines from which the family make wine.
There is no mains water or electric connection although these could be connected as both services are not far from the farm.
Due to the size of the farm there is also a good possibility of planning for an additional dwelling.
The present owner is willing to help any purchaser over the first few months to settle in and understand the different growing seasons and the water system.
This is a unique opportunity for someone looking for a different lifestyle to get back to nature and be virtually self-sufficient.
For people looking for a retreat or holiday home this is not the property
for you as this farm needs people that are willing to work on the land and bring a different value to their every day life.
