Almonte - Finca for Sale in Spain

A tranquil piece of heaven is for sale in the southwest of Spain, in the province of Huelva, 60 km from Seville and 160 km from Faro Airport, Portugal.

The Finca is privately owned and situated 4 km from Almonte, a rural town and community hub of Almonte, El Rocio, and Matalascañas. It is only 30 minutes by car from one of the most fantastic beaches in Europe.

The privately owned, fully fenced olive finca has 5 hectares of eating olives and an optional 0.6 ha fully fenced private plot beside it, ideal as a horse gallop.

The house is a two-storey traditional farmhouse with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen and sitting room with a cosy fireplace and a cast-iron stove that heats the house in the winter.

The first floor has a terrace to the back, offering a breathtaking view of the picturesque countryside.

The floors throughout consist of original colourful ornamental Andalusian-style tiles.

Below is a herb garden, and a patio wraps around the whole house. There is also a swimming pool at the back, which provides a welcome cooling off in the hot summer months.

The property is entirely independent of utility companies in terms of electricity and water. The deep well supplies all the water for the house, garden, and horses, guaranteed year-round.

The solar system with a big battery bank provides electricity all year round. The generator kicks in if the sun does not shine, which happens only about twice a year.

The thousand olive trees provide a steady income, which can be further supplemented by renting out rooms. Running a guest house has proven successful, as Almonte town lacks tourist accommodation, and the hotel is closed. Guests loved the tranquillity, decor, and relaxed atmosphere of the surrounding olive trees.

If you love horses, this is the best area to ride, breed, and interact with other horse lovers. It is typical to see people on horseback on the streets of Almonte, training their horses in dressage or seeing carriages drawn by mules, donkeys, or teams of horses.

The Costa de la Luz boasts many of the best beaches in Spain. The Doñana National Park, which stretches out on both sides of the seven km-long promenade of Matalascañas, allows no developments outside of the town, and empty stretches of beach can be found along the 50 km-long sandy beach even in the summer months. You find extensive dunes on one side of Matalascañas, and on the other are scenic sandstone cliffs and nudist beaches.
