A lot of potential in this wonderfully situated rural property to create substantial family accommodation in an isolated mountain setting.

Most of the details of this property are fairly self evident insofar as it is set in the most superb hilltop location in a quiet mountain valley and the three adjacent properties (which although ruined are currently registered as houses and hence could be restored and used as houses even though they are in a state of total ruin and will need completely rebuilding.

What is probably not evident are several other important aspects of the sale.

Looking at the general view of the property, not all of the houses seen in the picture are the property of the vendors. The newer white house in the background is not included - it is the remaining ruins in front and to the right. The connection for the mains water is by this newer white house so the connection charges are not going to be very high. Added to this is the fact that mains electricity is scheduled to be brought to nearby property and so it is highly likely that mains will become available for connection.

The access to the property is the reason we have chosen to call this property isolated rather than simply rural. There is a long dirt track of some 3km or more which descends a hillside, crosses a small river and then climbs up and around the opposite hillside to reach the farm. So the suitability of this property really does depend on your like or dislike of off-road driving. The vendors of the property actually live in the neighbouring farm so you won't be totally isolated but it is the truth that in living here, you won't be "popping out" for a pint of milk.

From the farm your nearest town for shops and amenities is around 20 - 25 minutes - mostly off-road and the nearest International airport is going to be close to 2 hours drive although when Granada airport gains its planned International status in 2005 or early 2006, the journey will be more like 80 minutes.

However, if you're looking for a spot that is guaranteed to remain pristine unspoiled countryside which offers some unparalleled views of the Sierra Nevada and has enough space to be able to create either a huge family home or some sort of rurally based retreat or workshops, then for the price this property really is extremely good value in today's market.
