With a Guide Price of €3,500,000 for this unique estate, all realistic offers will be seriously considered. THE ORIGINAL FINCA The original finca comprises three large buildings which incorporate many of their original features, including a bodega. There are two possibilities for the development of the finca, being three separate houses or combining the buildings into a boutique hotel, with 24 bedrooms. Preliminary drawings for the hotel project have been produced and are available on request. With all the wonderful country facilities on and adjoining the estate, including the hunting possibilities, endless cycle trails and walking, rock climbing and camping, combined with the easy access to the coast, and the city and international airport of Alicante, this seems to be the ideal location for such a niche hotel. The existing architect's drawings illustrate how the buildings may look when the work has been completed and demonstrate how attractive the result will be. THE LARGE HOUSE PROJECT A detailed development project to convert an existing building has also been prepared. This is sited on protected land and has the benefit of fantastic views. With the possibility of building up to 530 m2 (5705 sq ft) of luxurious accommodation, this presents a highly unusual and sought after opportunity. THE BUILDING PLOTS Elsewhere on the estate, there is the possibility of further development on a private and protected area of some 500,000 m2 or 123 acres. It is considered that four or more houses might be built here. No plans or drawings have been prepared for such a project as yet. ADJOINING LAND A further 1500 acres which once formed part of the estate has been adopted by the local authority for preservation and this protection, coupled with the fact that it is land locked by the estate, means that it cannot be built on. This is predominantly pine forest and a mountainous area. THE OWNERS' RESIDENCE It is often said that, however stunning the photographs of a truly exceptional property may be, they seldom, if ever, do that property justice. This is a classic example of such a situation for, although we are able to illustrate this feature with a superb selection of photos of the main residence and although they go a long way to demonstrate the thought, care and, above all, luxurious quality which have resulted in a fabulous home, it needs a detailed inspection for these attributes to be fully understood and appreciated. Completed just a few years ago, the design and construction of the residence take full advantage of its fabulous position, providing quite breathtaking views over the estate and surrounding protected countryside. Peace and quiet are here in abundance, yet this is the hub of a dynamic working estate, already producing a satisfying income from its olive trees, almond trees and vines and ready, in the hands of its next equally visionary owner, to deliver so much more as a result of taking advantage of the many opportunities which it offers. The residence provides some 360 m2 or 3875 square feet of superbly proportioned, single storey accommodation. There are Winter and large Summer lounges, each having a working open fireplace, separate dining room and large kitchen. This is extensively fitted with high quality hardwood units and a range of built in appliances, including oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer. The separate utility has a further range of fitted furniture providing ample storage facilities and includes a sink, washing machine and two fridges. In addition to the large principal bedroom, the master suite incorporates a dressing room and en suite bathroom fitted with bath, separate shower, wash basin, bidet and WC. The three further bedrooms are served by the well appointed family bathroom. The residence has full central heating and air conditioning and the benefit of a 24 hour security alarm system. It is surrounded by perimeter fencing and accessed via an in and out driveway. The fully landscaped walled garden extends to about half an acre and includes the floodlit swimming pool, being 11m x 5m (36 ft x 16ft). There is a barbecue with chimney and an outside changing room and shower room. This exceptionally fine and superbly located home is ready to move into and includes the high quality furniture and furnishings. AGRICULTURAL & VINEYARD PRODUCTION AND AN OUTSTANDING GREEN ENERGY INVESTMENT OFFER The Estate includes a non-irrigated Organic Farm of about 250 hectares (617.7 acres) with only about half, some 125 hectares, currently in cultivation. There are around 64,000 trees with some 20,000 olive trees, about 38,000 almond trees and 4000 grape vines. All are registered ecological. The income derived from this is in the region of €70,000 to €100,000 a year, depending on the weather. The Farm has all the necessary machinery for tilling, harvesting, cleaning etc. and all small machinery to work the land. There is also an annual grant of €45,000, renewed every five years. This would increase with additional planting. There are highly rewarding opportunities for cultivating the remaining land of about 125 hectares. The owners have been approached to lease 40 hectares for a period of between 35 and 45 years for the use of producing green energy, resulting in an outstanding investment return of €3.7million from just the shorter term. If this goes ahead, the owner will purchase a further 46 hectares to more than compensate for the 40 hectares in use for green energy, so as to preserve the integrity of the hunting potential of the entire estate. There is huge potential to plant many more Vines with a fallow area of some 125 hectares and to develop the vineyard by introducing wine production on the Estate. The 4000 (approximately) Grape Vines are planted on around 10,000 square meters. They are White grape Muscatel. These are very old vines, which seem to have a recumbence. There are currently no wine making facilities on site as the grapes go to a co-operative, but this would be a very viable proposition if worked full time. There are no current contracts in place. It is considered that, if the green energy option is taken up, that would still leave 85 hectares for wine production on a reduced scale. One of the neighbouring Estates has a very successful wine making business with a similar quantity of vines, with all production sold to an upmarket outlet for around 34 euros per bottle. New boreholes and an irrigation system are currently being installed on the Estate and it is expected that these will double the current yield and increase the land value by eight times. HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES The estate now has the significant advantage of having obtained full private hunting licences. These apply to the entire estate and are for the hunting of wild boar, partridge and rabbit. Such licences are notoriously difficult to obtain and their existence opens up great opportunities to market to and cater for hunting parties from all over the world, so generating significant additional income. GENERAL INFORMATION Access The property is set in a tranquil location, yet not isolated, the local village of Salinas being only 5 minutes away with basic facilities including a small supermarket, shops, banks, tapas bars, restaurants and cafes. The town of Sax is located just 10 minutes away, situated in the middle of the Vinalopo valley. The Castle in the town is on a huge mountain overlooking the quaint town. There are numerous sports facilities and recreational areas which are well kept and ideal for walks. The property is located 50 minutes to the North West of Alicante. Alicante would be the main business centre and has full Shipping Port facilities and an International Airport. You also have good access to the Ports and Airports at San Javier, Murcia (1hr 40mins) and Valencia (1hr 50mins). Access is from the A31 road at the town of Elda and then via secondary and private made and unmade roads. Services Electricity - Independent large generator Water - 2 Boreholes Heating and Hot Water - Solar power full central heating Air conditioning Plumbing/Drainage - Private Security - 24-hour security alarm, perimeter fencing Internet, satellite, and private mobile mast SUMMARY The Estate has been valued at €4,795,000. This does not include the uplift in value of the newly irrigated land or increase in production that this will generate. The asking price of the Estate at €3,500,000 represents superb value for money and an excellent long term investment, set in a spectacular location. CONCLUSION This property is, indeed, a rarity. It is quite remarkable to find an estate which already provides so much and yet still has so much more to offer. Even more extraordinary is to find it just 50 minutes drive from Alicante, one of Southern Spain's most delightful cities, from Alicante International Airport and from all the many attractions of the coastal area, including golf courses, marinas and a whole host of other amenities for adults and children alike. Through their vision and determination, the present owners have already achieved a major transformation and now, with considerable reluctance, they are moving on. A discerning purchaser with similar vision has the opportunity to take full advantage of the substantial investment which has already been made and the many possibilities waiting to be converted into reality, whilst enjoying a wonderful country home. Now, the new owner also has the opportunity to take advantage of the outstanding available green energy investment offer by leasing just 40 hectares for 35 to 45 years.
