1 bedroom Country House for sale

Farmhouse with land and forested area in the council of Salas, close to Cornellana. This property is perfect for someone who loves nature and wishes to live in isolated, peaceful surroundings. The house sits on 5000sqm of land, 1.5 hectares of which is meadow land, fairly flattish considering its hillside location. The remaining 3.5 hectares is taken up with forest land, most of which is behind the property giving it the perfect protective backdrop. The land would be perfect for keeping cattle or horses, sheep or just for growing crops and vegetables.

There's water from a natural spring which is enough to supply the house and any cattle you want to keep on the land. There a small 2000L water deposit on the land with a pump and water filter already installed. It's also possible to build a larger deposit higher up on the land to catch more of the precious spring water if required.

The stone built farmhouse is situated on the side of the meadow and looks out across the valley with lovely widespread views of the neighbouring houses there. The property is built on two floors, the upper floor being where the main accommodation would originally have been. There are three large rooms which can be divided to create kitchen, lounge, bathroom and bedroom. On the ground floor there're the stables, barn and the old cider press room which can all be converted into additional living space to make a large comfortable farmhouse. There's even space for a garage and storeroom. An old horreo base still exists in ruins however the original horreo structure is no longer there. The base could be rebuilt and the flat roof would form an area in front of the upper floor of the farmhouse to make a large terrace facing the incredible views.

The sale of this property also includes a 6m diameter Yurt which is the perfect place to stay during the renovation of the farmhouse. It's warmed by a wood burner and is very spacious, light and comfortable inside. There's also a makeshift kitchen on a wooden platform under a wooden roof where you can store food, prepare meals and wash the dishes. Further into the forest, with a little more privacy is a small caravan which would be ideal for any willing volunteers or workers to stay, or for family and friends. Next to this is a purpose built shower room and a washbasin and dry compost toilet which uses wood shavings and doesn't have any odour. There's a lovely gravelled area in front of the caravan with an awning for shade, a perfect place to sit outside and enjoy the amazing views and the starry skies at night.

This really is a beautiful place, surrounded by forest, with east-facing exposure, and a decent accessible road. This property has many possibilities as a family home or even a rural retreat, wellness centre or working farm. Whatever your dream, this property has endless possibilities and is very affordable.
