The plot extends to 30,000 sqm, split into two main areas. An extensive level garden of about a hectare, swathed in mature trees — oak, pine, fir and poplar — surrounds the main house. Here we find a strategically located swimming pool, pleasantly secluded and taking full advantage of the stunning mountain vistas. It’s a blissful spot to relax and unwind, or spend the long summer days with family and friends.

The main house offers some 220 sqm of accommodation with a practical single-level layout that’s easy to envisage making your own. There is a spacious living room with dining area and fireplace, a kitchen with pantry and separate entrance, five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a generous south-facing veranda, perfect for taking the air under the twinkling evening stars.

The property is connected to the electricity grid and draws water from a well, while diesel central heating assures year-round comfort. As an added bonus, the grounds contain an independent caretaker’s house, adaptable to various uses, and a handful of other structures currently used for parking. With a little work, these could be easily transformed into a workshop, guesthouse or games room.

What really sells this property is its location. The surrounding countryside is wonderfully peaceful, yet easily accessible by road. A mild year-round climate makes it a home for all seasons. Just minutes from Candeleda and a little over two hours from Madrid, it’s a unique beauty spot where the Sierra de Gredos, the Tiétar Valley and the rural region of La Vera converge in mellifluous harmony, as mountain and valley come together to spectacular effect.
