About this place
Tucked away from busy roads, this charming, south-facing country estate provides a peaceful retreat in a natural setting. The extensive almost 10,000 m² plot is cultivated with a diverse range of fruit trees and benefits from an automatic watering system. The local agricultural water network ensures a consistent and filtered supply for both agricultural and domestic use, ideally suited for those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle.
At the heart of the estate lies a characterful building dating back to 1900, originally a storeroom, now converted into a comfortable living space. Inside, the main house features an open-plan dining kitchen and living room that exudes warmth, a spacious ground-floor bedroom, a bathroom with a shower, and a mezzanine area used as a second bedroom. Additionally, a section of the structure serves as a garage with a separate entrance, leading to a mezzanine room at the back, perfect for guests or as a studio.
Step outside to enjoy a beautifully terraced dining area, complete with a barbecue and traditional pizza oven, providing the ideal setting for summer evenings against sweeping valley views. Currently operating off-grid, the property is a great opportunity for solar panel installation, promoting a sustainable way of living with fully licensed construction and all paperwork in order.

Buying property in Spain
Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
