10,000 m² is a productive avocado plantation with automatic irrigation.

Views: Countryside, farm-land, garden trees and the monumental part of the village which is stunning in the night lights. From some areas of the land there is a sea view.

The Land: The whole finca is classified as "regadio", which means the land has access to water and is plantable, though in the actual moment only 1 hectare is in use with an avocado plantation, and a variety of fruit trees and a designed garden in the area surrounding the house. Two wells provide abundant water all year; the one beside the river was built by the arabs and was part of the historical mill of Ibn Yahya.
Part of the land is terraced by a 18th century stone and brick wall.
There is a stone threshing floor (era) for grain and an old fashioned water reservoir (alberca) which are not in use but could be renovated for use as a large swimming pool.
The land is suitable for developing equestrian facilities.

Access is via tarmac road and the property is separated from the pueblo by the river
