G181 – Casa de la Colonia, Fornes, Granada

1-2 bedrooms – 1 bathroom – two floors – rear garden – productive land with irrigation water

A very intersting home in a unique cluster of houses, with an irrigated strip of land, close to Lake Bermejales and the villages of Fornes and Jayena.

The hamlet is steeped in local history, with workers’ cottages lining several streets in the middle of dramatic countryside, each owning a stip of land, to grow vegetables and profit from the produce, with a wonderful supply of fresh mountain water through a network of ‘acequias’.  This has been the way of doing things here for possibly centuries.

This house is on a quiet street within the hamlet.  It has been semi renovated, with plenty of love and character.  The front door leads into a large room with beams and a log burner, which is open plan to a second room, perhaps a dining room or kitchen.  Beyond is a conservatory type area with access to a modern bathroom.  Doors lead out onto a private garden.

Upstairs is one, open plan room which could be partitioned off to suit individual needs.  There is a door leading out to a terrace which requires completing, with a view down to the garden below.

The strip of land that comes with this property is just a 1 minute walk away and consists of 7365m2 of completely flat, irrigated land ideal for growing vegetables, with almond trees at the far end.
