The property’s off-grid systems include a modern photovoltaic solar system and water sourced from a spring and well, ensuring complete self-sufficiency while offering opportunities for sustainable living.
The main residence is thoughtfully arranged over two floors. The ground floor boasts a spacious living room with an open fireplace, a large kitchen that accesses a wine cellar, a bathroom, and a sauna area with a jacuzzi. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en suite, all with sweeping views of the mountains. Central heating is provided throughout, supported by a substantial propane gas tank.
In addition to the main house, the estate includes separate guest accommodation with two bedrooms and a caretaker's house with four bedrooms. There are also various facilities for agricultural use, including a vineyard, organic orchard, vegetable garden, and a substantial henhouse.

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
