A personal note from the owners
We built this house with great enthusiasm and with the belief that it would be our special place to enjoy for many years. Initially, our plan was to spend our holidays here and, when the time came to retire, to have a home where we could enjoy a peaceful and happy chapter of our lives.
Over the past 20 years, we have experienced many important moments of our lives in this house. We enjoyed raising our son here, created many memories and, for me, it has always been my place to relax: somewhere I could arrive and disconnect from everything.
We also dreamed of enjoying our orchard as a hobby, caring for the trees and appreciating the small things that make a home like this so special, all while living in an area that offers every necessary amenity together with the peace and quiet we look for when we are at home.
That is why putting the property on the market causes us great sadness. If we listened only to our hearts, we would keep it. However, life and the circumstances that have arisen over the years mean that, after a great deal of thought, we have had to make this decision.
We are leaving with great sadness, but also with the satisfaction of having enjoyed our home and having lived such an important part of our lives here.
We simply hope that whoever buys the property will enjoy it as much as we have, that they will find their own place of rest here, create their own memories and love and care for the house as much as we have done.
For us, it will always be much more than a house: it will remain part of our story.
A special property for anyone dreaming of space, privacy, nature and authentic Spanish living, without giving up the amenities required for comfortable year-round living.
