Water:

Ensuring a reliable water supply, the property features its own well, providing a natural source of water. Moreover, the house comes with the rights to household drinking water, although establishing the connection necessitates the laying of a few hundred meters of new pipes from the meter point. Fear not, for this task is straightforward and well within the capabilities of any skilled builder.

Electricity:

Uniquely reflecting its historic nature, the house has never been connected to the grid, relying instead on its own generator from the generator room in bygone days. Embracing modern comforts and sustainability, the recommended solution for a contemporary household is the installation of a new solar system. With our experience in solar systems, we confidently propose a comprehensive setup that ensures the property is fully powered. Starting at under 10,000 euros, a system like this can seamlessly mirror the convenience of being on the grid while offering numerous additional benefits. Bid farewell to monthly bills, as the solar system guarantees reliability even during unforeseen weather conditions or grid supply disruptions that can sometimes occur in Spain.

Sewage:

Embracing the rural property tradition, the house is equipped with a concrete septic tank for efficient sewage management. This system remains adequate for the property. During the renovation process, exploring modern sewage solutions is a prudent step, as they offer enhanced efficiency and convenience.

In summary, this property with a fascinating history holds endless possibilities for those with a vision to restore it to its former glory. With abundant land, a caretaker's tender care, and ample potential for agricultural ventures, this house awaits a new chapter of cherished memories and a bright future.
