Villa for sale in Algar de Palancia, Valencia

Lovely country house in the municipality of Algar de Palancia, in a well-connected area, surrounded by vegetation on the foothills of the mountain, with panoramic views of the valley and the Calderona Range.

Plot: It is a plot of 1,376 m2 full of vegetation, including fruit trees: orange, mandarin, lemon trees, a grapefruit, almonds, pomegranates, olive trees, grapes and others, with space for a vegetable garden if desired. Numerous individual landscaped spaces and pergolas have been built, where moments of great tranquility can be spent in very varied, nature-filled environments, some with beautiful and wide views. It has a pretty irrigation pond that is used as a pool; in this area there is a toilet with WC and shower. There is electrical installation across the whole plot and irrigation systems installed from the pond, and there are sources of clean water, including two continuous drinking troughs for cats or dogs.

Dwelling: It has 178 m2 built, on the ground floor, distributed in the house itself, with living-dining room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and a bathroom in the French style, with a shower, sink and bidet at one end of the hallway, and a WC and a small sink at the other end. There are fly screens on all windows and doors. It has a second door that gives access to the rear part of the house, where there is a large and cozy patio, protected in summer by a large mulberry tree and with a practical paella-cooking area with a tiled roof, and which is connected to the house by a covered porch and on whose roof there is a terrace, currently used as a sunny clothes-drying area. Separate from the house there is a detached garage or storage room, on whose roof there is a terrace-dining area with a staircase to the house terrace and another to the garden. There is also a shaded carport at the entrance, in case the garage is to be used for other purposes.
There is also a 22 m2 concrete-and-wood construction, with a concrete floor, half-height open to the outside with fly screens, with two doors, which can serve as a playroom, gym or as a reading or music corner, with a beautiful view of the garden, where a small terrace surrounded by trees and bamboo allows family meals, outdoor games or sports.

Heating: The house has a large wood-burning stove inserted in a fireplace with an upper hot-air outlet for maximum efficiency. Hot water in the kitchen and bathroom is provided by a gas water heater.

Electricity: The electricity is solar, with 14 panels giving a nominal input of 2000 W/hour. The batteries are 1600 Ah acid and the appliances are Victron, the leading brand in the sector. The battery installation and 6 panels is three years old, and the appliances and four panels are one year old. This installation provides the electricity needed for the home’s operation: refrigerator, washing machine, TV, computer, lights, etc. Although the system is backed by a 7000 W gasoline generator, in the year it has been installed it has never been necessary to use it due to insufficient power. This implies substantial annual savings on electricity bills.

Telecommunications: Regarding mobile phone coverage and TV, there is no coverage problem, receiving the signal from the nearby town of Algar.

Environment: This house and the town of Algar are located in a beautiful wide valley surrounded by mountains, on one side the Calderona Range. It has the Palancia River beside it and many paths for hiking and cycling enthusiasts, including the Green Way, which passes beside the town.

Communication: The town has buses that run the Altura-Segorbe-Valencia and Segorbe-Puerto de Sagunto lines. 4 km away, in Algimia, there is also a train station. Algar is 15 km from Segorbe, 23 km (20 min) from Sagunto, and 50 km (35 min) from Valencia.
