It is not easy to describe this beautiful farm in a few sentences. It is located in a sheltered valley close to a little river, 1.5 km from the road. The property was originally a mill which has been restored to the highest standards. The house 120m2 is surrounded by a 100m2 terrace and has woodburning stoves for heating, two bedrooms, a bathroom, large kitchen, walk in pantry and lounge. It has solar panels that provide electricity and hot water.

There is also a guest house which consists of a big caravan that has been extended with a wooden structure that contains a fitted kitchen and shower room. There are some other ruins that could be restored and attached to the house. Ther is a garage, a cellar for making wine, a old room for cheese making and a greenhouse.

The land around the property is between 4-5 hectares of farming terraces and mountain slopes. The terraces have ot all sorts of fruit trees that provide fruit all year round. The terraces are irrigated. The water comes from the river (one day per week), from a spring (which runs all the time) and from a legally constructed well. There is an irrigation system that takes water to every part of the property and there is a water reservoir which holds 50,000 litres and which can be used as a swimming pool. The many vines can be used for wine and the olive trees produce plenty of oil.

This is a very individual property and be an ideal location for anyone who would like to grow most of their own food.
