Description

  • An exceptional house and garden with holiday rental apartments and a luxury glamping yurt  located in the glorious Natural Park of the high Alpujarras of Granada province, a unique region of tiny white villages clinging to the mountainside of the mighty Sierra Nevada of Spain.

A garden lover’s delight.  If you have ever wanted to spend your days tending and developing a fabulous garden, high in the mountains of southern Spain, then here is your chance.  Fed by the melting waters of the Sierra Nevada of Granada, this garden and house lie on the southern slopes of this spectacular Alpujarra region.  It’s a horticultural marvel.  The house and garden were lovingly brought to life 20 years ago by the current owners.  They have established a successful tourism rental business and regularly open the garden to visitors or to be used for functions such as concerts and gastronomy events such as outdoor dining and  wood oven cookery courses.  Writer Chris Stewart, who often brings his walking groups to visit, described the garden as one of the best things about the Alpujarras. Due to retirement this fabulous project is now ready to be handed on to the next owners to develop as they wish, in the knowledge that they are buying a secure income too if desired!

Why is this a ’sustainable’ property:

We cultivate our land without the use of chemicals, pesticides, etc, producing our own vegetables and fruit.  Land that had been abandoned for more than 30 years is now cultivated.

We help maintain and sustain the local irrigation system serving the local community.

We make good use of solar power to heat the house water.

Under floor heating and supplementary hot water is via an energy efficient heat exchanger.

The old ruined house was re-built using the available onsite materials such as natural stone wherever possible.

The house is designed to benefit from solar gain in the winter months.

The house has enhanced insulation that helps to maintain a stable internal temperature all year.

As a small business we contribute directly to the local economy.

Energy rating C – not brilliant but not bad for an old property.
