Finka/Dom wiejski na sprzedaż w Los Desamparados, Orihuela, Alicante

This charming country house is located in one of the most beautiful places in all of Vega Baja.

The estate has 6 tahúllas (about 7,000 m2) divided into two orchards, one in front of the house and another beside it.

To enter there is a private driveway, so you can put a chain or barrier since access is only for this property.

The 180 m2 dwelling is ready to be completely renovated. A large kitchen awaits us, not renovated and with the typical tiles of the huerta, it takes us back to our childhood, when we had bread and chocolate for tea, and Sundays we all gathered at table to eat cocido with meatballs and for dessert... almója benas or tortada de las monjas! No one was missing at the table and that was the real treasure. The rest of the rooms and the bathroom are all exterior and you can keep the current layout or, since you are about to renovate, make them to your liking.

The living room still retains part of the wallpaper, and under its plaster ceiling, you can dream of creating a happy home there, as it was for many years for the family that enjoyed it and that now sells it, with all the pain in their heart, because each one has made their life in a different place.

The heat waves of today did not exist. In summer, the women sat in the afternoons to enjoy the breeze in their rocking chairs and, at most, fanned themselves between laughter, when they told the same jokes for the umpteenth time. They ate what was available, garden potatoes, freshly laid eggs from the chickens, figs and plums in summer, and oranges in winter.

At Christmas the grandma put cookies and monas in the wood-fired oven, which she left to ferment under the bed all night, because that was the coolest place in the house. The smell of the freshly baked mona sent shivers down your spine. The slaughter Sundays were always a party and reason to celebrate all day. There were no mobile phones or tablets and the TV, you hardly remembered it was there. Advances are positive, but letting go of the genuineness of the land is a real shame.

If you were looking for a house in the huerta but the ones you’ve seen have no water or electricity, or have problems building a house of reasonable size, this is your opportunity.

Living in nature today is a privilege and having a space for your family to feel safe and happy and to rest from the hustle and stress of the city is priceless.
