| FOR SALE - WITH RECENT IMPROVEMENTS AND NEW PRICE: Attractive, solidly built detached rural property in the Burgar Valley, southern Tarragona province, with productive olive, fig, almond and carob trees plus vegetable gardens, standing in 2.4 acres of terraced land. Entirely Off-Grid, with all power requirements supplied by solar energy.
Secluded, but not isolated, the single storey stone-clad house comprises: Main living/dining room (15.8.sqm) with wood-burning stove Kitchen (3.4x2.4m), with granite/marble topped work surfaces, wooden storage cupboards beneath and a wall-fixed, flow-regulated butane gas water heater 2 double bedrooms: Bedroom 1 (3.3x3.4m) with adjacent bathroom with bath, wc and wash basin; Bedroom 2 (20sqm) with wood-burning stove and separate bathroom with bath/shower, wc and wash basin Tiled floors throughout Power points in all rooms, excluding bathrooms. Outside, on the eastern aspect of the house, there is a tiled, split-level patio, roofed on the upper portion, with a weather-proof power point. A stone path connects to a small patio on the southern side and ultimately to a wooden staircase on the western wall. This leads to a sizeable roof terrace (approx 40sqm) with pleasing views over the olive terraces, pine woods and mountains beyond. Power is supplied by 6x60w solar panels, the energy generated being stored in 6x12v deep-cell batteries, and converted from 12v to 230v through a 600w true sine wave inverter. There is a 4kw 9hp generator powering a 50 amp hour battery charger should back-up be necessary. The latter are installed in a small, purpose-built, well-ventilated storage shed well away from the house. It is a simple and efficient system which can easily be extended if so desired. Water is stored in 3 cisternas, total capacity 32,000L, the main one of 25,000L being underground: a significant contribution is made by rainfall channelled from roof and land run-off. Otherwise, fresh water (suitable for drinking) can be collected or delivered from a well at the farm across the road. A separate header storage tank which provides the gravity-fed household supply for washing etc holds 2000L and can be refilled rapidly from any of the cisternas by means of a centrifugal pump. Household waste is piped into a double-chambered septic tank with filtration bed and storage tank with a pump for re-using filtered water for garden irrigation. There is a 2x3m toolshed attached to the house on the northern side, with adjacent dog kennel. A larger storage shed is built over the main cisterna, along with the battery den. The land belonging to the property totals just under 1 hectare and supports productive olive, almond, fig and carob trees, plus vegetable gardens and flower beds. No chemicals have been used for over 10 years: the soil is enriched by the applicaton of manure, garden compost and seaweed. Beaches are 20 minutes away by car, Reus airport 45 minutes and Barcelona, 150 kilometres distant, is easily reached by road or rail. Potential sources of income are limited only by the individual imagination. A few ideas: working the olives, almonds and figs; keeping livestock; culling firewood; bee-keeping; gathering and selling mushrooms from the forest - in autumn the much-prized Saffron Milk Cap (Lactarius deliciosus) grows in abundance; letting a portion of the house on a permanent or holiday basis; etc, etc. The property is the perfect retreat for those who appreciate and understand, or already live by, the concept of Off-Gridding, and are looking for a place in peaceful and natural surroundings. This is a very attractive house, finished to a simple but pleasing level, leaving plenty of scope for personal touches and additions.
