Finca/Country House for sale in Tivissa, Tarragona

Renovated with an architect's project in the 1990s, Can Jordi has been a much-beloved family home for over 20 years.

The 4-hectare (451,70m2) olive and almond finca, with a two-storey farmhouse and 35m2 swimming pool at its heart, sits on a rise below the Tivissa mountains. From here there are panoramic views over the valley and across to the Cardo-Boix mountains on the other side of the Burga Valley.

A 15-minute drive from the village of Rasquera the finca is approached via a track through the olive groves.

The house, with a footprint of 144m2, has a closed-in porch with arched windows, which creates a spacious front room-come-dining room. With handmade floor tiles and an impressive Eastern European wood burner, windows on three sides of the room provide plenty of natural light.

A step up from the front room, the breakfast room located to the right of the 13,43m2 fitted kitchen, has access to the kitchen and double doors leading out to the back garden and terrace stairs.

Behind the kitchen, the 30m2 sitting room, with exposed wooden beams, has a built-in fireplace with wood burner, and windows on two sides. A wood-clad stairway to the first floor is located to the back of the sitting room, and behind that, a 13,67m2 double bedroom with views to the olive terraces at the back the property, and a door leading out to the garden.

To the left of the sitting room off a small lobby is a ground floor WC/shower room, and door to the exterior.

From the first floor landing the 16.08m2 back bedroom has windows on three sides. To the front of the house, the 18,54m2 main bedroom, also with windows on three sides, has fantastic views across the valley in all directions. The 4,54m2 family bathroom, with bath and shower, is located off the landing, between the two rooms.

To the side of the house, external stairs to the back of the breakfast room lead up to the large roof terrace from where there are spectacular views over the pool and across the valley.

Below the walled and tiled pool terrace a secure workshop/shed, with metal doors, houses the pool filtration system and pool solar system.

A new, registered, private borehole provides all the finca's water. The house, pool and borehole have independent solar systems.

The olive groves fan out on either side the finca and up the hill to the back of the finca.

A warm and welcoming property with lots of character, in a beautiful setting.
