FINCA ALMAZARA

A very large and secluded finca with spectacular views across olive groves to the protected nature reserve of Cornalvo. Because the land is 8 hectares it makes the application for a building license more accessible, a wooden prefabricated house is also a possibility.
 The land features some huge granite boulders with the remains of a bronze age hill fort on the higher part.  The finca is on the slopes of the Sierra de Montanchez, it is quite steep in places with natural woodland of cork and holm oak. On the lower part of the finca there are 2 or 3 perfect building areas with great views and the stunning backdrop of the mountain behind.
The access is excellent, 500m of good camino from a tarmac road.
There is a bore hole with an enormous quantity of water and also a natural spring which is active all year. The finca is not remote, only 10 minutes drive to Montanchez. This is a finca for nature lovers, the bird life is wonderful, there are eagle owls nesting in the crags and nightingales singing in the woods. Directly from the finca there is one of the original ancient paths leading up to Montanchez castle, a wonderful walk which takes 40 minutes.

LA CASA ROJA

Casa Roja, Montanchez, CACERES, Extremadura


La Casa Roja is a modern, architect-designed house situated on a saddle of the sierra outside Montanchez. Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards this is a peaceful place with stunning views east over the plans to folds of mountains and back to the town and its Moorish castle. Excellent for walks, Montanchez, famous for its jamon iberico de bellotta, is about 30-40 minutes drive from Merida, Caceres and Trujillo each of which manifests its Roman, Moorish and Christian layers in its own way. Just beyond Caceres is the Museo Vostell Malpartida a modern art museum situated in Los Barruecos, an extraordinary park littered with massive granite boulders as high as a house. For birdwatchers there is the Parque Natural de Monfragüe where most spectacularly one can spend the day watching golden eagles hovering on the convection currents.

The house is 20 minutes walk to town and there is vehicle access by narrow country lane. There is a generous town swimming pool (and a toddlers’ pool) overlooking the castle, open in July and August. Further afield there are rivers and embalses in which to cool off – and a swimming pool in many of the surrounding towns.

• 3 double bedrooms, sleeps 6 / 1.5 bathrooms
