Cortijo, Farmhouse with endless views in Felix, 4,500 M²

On the WEST BALCONY, Felix Country house with 4 huge bedrooms on a plot of 4,500 m² in the vicinity of Felix, 1.5 km. Magnificent land, open spaces, tranquility and fresh air at just over 800 meters above sea level in the Sierra de Gádor, located in a Special Conservation Zone (ZEC). This cortijo offers a fantastic interaction with nature. -ENTRY, PATIO AND PORCH- As we enter the farm, some majestic olive trees greet us, and little by little, from a large welcoming patio, we begin to glimpse almost infinitely, lands that reach up to a blue of altered tones, the Mediterranean Sea. And so we observe, from the patio of our farmhouse, how sea and sky merge into a mix of indescribable colors. We name all of this as it is called, Campo de Dalías. This first patio, the prelude to the main entrance of the house, has nothing to envy to the already well-known Cordovan patios. A thousand and one flowers and plants surround this peaceful open space. And then you imagine that you are reading in a hammock, or making use of the barbecue. But you want to give yourself a little rest. And what will you do in those 15 minute break from a break? In the patios there is usually a contraption made with synthetic materials, elongated and hollow, through which the water circulates at a certain pressure. Yes, we take the hose and start watering, thus refreshing all that colorful plant world that makes up the patio in which we find ourselves. And the plants will continue to welcome us past that green arch full of life, thus accessing a beautiful porch. From this space of imperious shade, we observe the warmth provided by the materials used. Some thick ashlar walls support the partitions of this typical house, white on its façade and on the interior walls. With a very welcoming approach and rooted in the typical style of the buildings in the area, characteristic of this Andalusian area. -HOME- Once inside, the large dimensions of all the rooms can be appreciated. Starting with the main room, a huge room. A kitchen-office presents an open space, this being, however, differentiated zonally by an island. And there is no lack of its attached pantry for greater comfort in terms of storage. Attention to the fireplace in one of the corners of the room as a win. We explain a farm like that space, in which formerly the laborers rested in the heat of some reddish embers, surely brought to their incandescent state by Hephaestus himself (Greek god of fire and the forge). From the living room there is access to a hall that distributes the bedrooms that we find in the house of this rustic farm. 4 bedrooms of notable dimensions each accommodate two beds of an endless width. How many people can spend the night in this house? About 4 per bedroom = up to 16 people!! A bathroom in brown and white tones that respects the style completes the rooms of our farmhouse. -THE 4,500 M²- Do you like to farm? Perhaps your idea is to create a whole self-sufficient personal society with sustainable crops? It will not be for available arable land, it will not be for lack of sunlight. Olive trees, some vines, some hawthorns (the world of grapes at your disposal), fruit trees, some mangoes? orange trees? Will strawberries or tomatoes grow here? Let's see how long the hoe lasts... Ah! Chestnuts are typical of the area. -THE SURROUNDINGS OF THE CORTIJO– Although we have briefly commented on what can be seen from its patios and terraces, if we inhabit this farmhouse we must not forget the endless number of activities that can be carried out in such places. The town is a walk away (just over 1 km). And with good footwear we can: - Tour the former territories of the Marquis of Casablanca - Wet our heads on San Juan's day in the town's fountain to continue having luck throughout the year. - Look for the aqueduct of the 20 eyes, the Acueducto de Carcauz, in the ravine of the same name. - Traveling a new path every day through this land, the scene a few hundred years ago of historical events in which Moors and Christians did not exactly shake hands. - If you pay close attention and have a good eye, you can run into a chameleon during your walks, perhaps a certain type of owl that inhabits the area or an elegant fox. - Find the 7 wonders of Felix (I have already named one for you, and it is Roman). The farmhouse is located 20 minutes from Aguadulce, crossing unforgettable landscapes. 20 minutes that will connect you with that sea that can be seen from the terrace of the farmhouse. To go to the capital of the province, 25 km are the ones that separate us from the monumental complex of the Alcazaba de Almería. Being the owner of a rural farm will allow us to arrange everything so that it adds value in many ways, depending on the use that we are going to give it. Personally, the one that has the most value is the use and enjoyment of the property. Existing here, an opportunity with which to change the hectic way of life that a large part of the population of the country carries out in the cities. The future was and always will be in the towns. We can also give it a cultural use. Or as we have mentioned before, we can explore new agricultural possibilities, with sustainable crops being one of the most respectful options with nature and with ourselves. Yes, a rural house too. But you already knew that. And it is that more and more tourists value mountain areas and rural environments. Beach resorts end up boring. Do you remember how many people could sleep comfortably in this farmhouse? Sixteen. Price plus taxes according to Law (real estate expenses included in the sale price)
