Finca/Country House for sale in El Cantón, Abanilla, Murcia

This 3 Bed Villa is set on a large plot with a well maintained olive grove, located just a few minutes’ walk from the small village of El Canton and only 5 minutes’ drive to the larger town of Alguena.

The villa is in a liveable condition throughout and sits on a plot of 6,489 m2. Around 5,100 m2 is dedicated to the olive grove, which has a separate entrance that the local farmer uses to bring his tractor onto the plot. He looks after the trees and this part of the land in exchange for the majority of the olives. The other 1,300 m2 is dedicated to the house, with its own entrance just next to the property. The property is located on a small road with no through access and only three properties, so access in and out is very easy.

The olive grove consists of 50 olive trees, all in production. There is also a fig tree, 3 almond trees, and a pomegranate tree.

You can keep the arrangement for the local farmer to maintain and harvest the grove, taking payment from the harvest, and keeping a small amount of fruit and olives for yourselves. Alternatively, you could decide to maintain and harvest them all yourself.

The property has 138 m2 of build size, and a renovation has been started. It now needs someone to put their heart into making this a beautiful home. As you enter the property, you come into a large open living area with a solid marble floor. To the left is the first double bedroom, which has also been prepared for an en-suite bathroom. At the back of the living area, to the right, there is a large open kitchen and dining area with a feature fireplace, a solid wood worktop, gas hob and oven, an extractor fan, fridge freezer, and dishwasher.

Back through the living area, across the other side, there is a corridor that leads to the other two double bedrooms. Both are really good sized rooms. Between these is the family bathroom, with a double sink unit, shower, bidet, washing machine, and w/c.

Opposite the bathroom is a small stairway that leads to the upstairs space. There is an entire new metal roof support, and this large area is currently set up with a further bedroom, with the rest of the space open plan and with potential for many different uses. This area could become a sports area with a pool table and darts boards, a hobby area, a space perfect for a huge train set or Scalextric, or even a home observatory.

Next to the property there is a storage shed, and a small patio that runs around the property. There are various plants and yuca trees around this garden area.

- Less than 10 minutes’ walk into the centre of the village and restaurants
