GORGEOUS HOUSE WITH SALT WATER POOL IN MAGNIFICENT OLIVE GROVE ESTATE IN
EXTREMADURA

THE HOUSE: Beautiful traditional whitewashed house with blue wood windows with shutters,
mosquito nets in all the windows, fireplaces, stunning multi-colored tiled floors painted by hand (150 �/sqm2),
gorgeous views of the `sierra` and the olive groves, lovingly decorated with antiques and my own
paintings and a charming and healthy salt water pool with clean water without any chemical
products.

HOUSE PLAN: The house has open spaces and lots of windows open to the countryside that
provides a charming feeling of space. On the ground floor there is a sitting room with fireplace
connected with the big kitchen by means of an arch, a room with a double bed, a bathroom with tub
and another sitting room with a traditional fireplace. On the second floor we find the master
bedroom: a huge room with high ceilings, two balconies with breathtaking views of the sierra, the
most comfortable bed you can imagine and the master bathroom with handcrafted tiles, a polished
cement shower and more views of the sierra. There is also a big attic room.

ATMOSPHERE: The house has big windows looking onto the olive trees, the sierra, the mountains
and the sky and it`s oriented towards east and south, with the bedrooms facing dawn, so you will
wake up with the sun rays carefully warming your face�

DECORATION: We love art and the house is decorated with beautiful objects that we find in our
trips, in flea markets and antiques shops, besides my own oil paintings, greatly inspired by this
magnificent scenery. It has a stunning French wardrobe from the XIX century stripped in blue,
extremely valuable antique lamps, oak desk from the XIX century, a kitchen elm table more than 200
hundred years old, a pine bench lovingly restored, beautiful old restored doors, a magnificent
chaise longue in the master bedroom and a unique lamp designed by myself also in the master
bedroom.

THE ESTATE: The house is set in around 4 Acres (2 Ha) of land, it has an olive grove with 80 mature
olive trees (more than 100 years old), oaks, holm oaks and cork oaks. Yet, it is only 1 km from the
town of Mont�nchez, famous in Spain for its exquisite Iberic ham, so you can easily walk or cycle to
town. Don`t be surprised if you are waved by locals riding a donkey, or greeted by horses and cute
black piglets! Literally right at your doorstep (on the front porch), there is a pool around a big stone
as if it were an `alberca` (traditional pond or reservoir) that functions with salted water, without
chlorine. A unique and great feature of the pool is that it can filter the water on the surface (the
usual), but this one can also filter the water falling as a cascade from the rock it is bulit around. In
summer you can wake up and take a swim before breakfast. There is also a brick barbecue that can
be used to cook alfresco.

THE AREA: the house is in the middle of a triangle formed by three important Spanish towns, two
of them Unesco heritage sites: M�rida, with stunning Roman ruins scattered everywhere; C�ceres,
one of the most beautiful Medieval cities of Spain and Trujillo, with a beautiful square, churches
and palaces. Since it is in the middle of this triangle, it is about 40 km (half an hour) of each of one
of them.

GETTING THERE / GETTING AROUND: The most convenient airport is Madrid, which is about 300
km away (2 h 45 min to 3 h). It is a town in a rural setting, so you would want a car to do
sightseeing, although there are also many paths for biking and hiking around the house, and the
town is very close. In summary, you would want a car to explore the region but you can also spend
days around the house and town.

THE PRICE IS SOMEWHAT NEGOTIABLE ACCORDING TO THE EXQUISITENESS OF THE HOUSE
AND ESTATE
