The open plan upper floor offers great potential, possibly agricultural, tourist activities etc. it can be finished to the buyers own requirement. Double doors lead out to a 100m² south facing roof terrace with stunning views. 

The property has approximately 8500m² of vines and a fully fitted bodega/wine cellar for production of wine for your own consumption. There is another 50m² out building currently used for storage of tools/wood that could possibly be used for extra accommodation. 

A 700m³ enclosed concrete water deposit is situated at the highest point of the land and supplies water for the installed irrigation system, covering all of the property. A well supplies water for the house and the water deposit. 

As well as vines, the land is planted with around 80 young olive trees, walnut, almonds and a chestnut tree, a large variety of fruit trees such as fig, apple, persimmon, plum, pear, cherry, peach, pomegranate, carob and a large variety of ornamental plants: roses, lavender, etc.
