The main house, with a footprint of 290 sqm arranged on a single floor, faces south to capture the best of the natural light and the most dramatic views. Its clean, crisp lines trace out a succession of airy and highly functional living spaces. There are three bedrooms, two full bathrooms plus an outside WC, a living room with a log fire and a mezzanine that makes a delightful office and home library. An open kitchen, tucked behind a pony wall, stands in dialogue with the main living space and the terrace beyond. Descending a flight of stairs, we discover a versatile open-plan space abounding with potential — perhaps a future workshop, garage or additional bedroom.

Among the property’s many assets is a lavish terrace/mirador that is ideal for enjoying quality time with family or friends, overlooking a beautifully maintained garden with an automated watering system, luxuriantly planted with fruit trees and medicinal herbs. Step back inside and let the underfloor heating banish any evening chill, with separate controls for every room. And for hot summer days, the property is fully air conditioned.

The house rests among eight hectares of grounds, planted with sustainably managed olive trees that produce an oil harvest every year. The land is rich and well cared for, should you have a hankering to try raising chickens (or even cattle) or choose to venture further down the homesteading path.

For here you have a little world unto itself, with two approved wells and a natural spring for potable water, solar panels and a back-up generator in case of need.

The glass tiled pool is fitted with a salt water chlorinator, a sustainable choice for your most decadent moments.

A hotspot for migrating birds, this property is a nature-lover’s dream: tranquil, unspoiled and virtually self-sufficient.

Equidistant from Madrid and Seville (both a two-and-a-half-hour drive away), 40 minutes from Caceres and an hour from Badajoz, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of nature, architecture and the luxury of a simple outdoor life.
