G191 and G192 – two houses to restore each with irrigated plot as optional extra, Fornes area, Granada

2 houses totalling 190m2 including rear patios, plus 2 plots of flat irrigated land, totalling 10,666m2 – possible to buy part of total

Two cottages in a line of ancient workers’ cottages, all now gradually being restored, in a beautiful country area near Fornes village and stunning Lake Bermejales – each with optional extra plot of irrigated land for growing crops

The unusual and historic area of La Colonia, near Fornes, is a series of workers’ cottages in a line, where each worker was given with each house a strip of very fertile, totally flat land to use for their own use. It is rare to still find evidence of how people lived in the past still in existence, making this a fairly unique and fascinating place to be!

These two cottages are ready for renovation, with orignal stone walls and features, but in need of complete restoration.  Each is on two floors, and at present the upstairs floors merge into one single upstairs level.  Ideally, both could be purchased together, along with their optional strips of land, but they can be purchased apart.

House “Dos”
82m2 (41m2 on each floor) plus patio area making a total of 96m2
Price: 40,000 Euros
Optional strip of 2890m2 of land: 25,000 Euros
House and land together: 59,000 Euros

House ‘Tres”
80m2 (40m2 on each floor) plus patio area making a total fo 94m2
Price: 40,000 Euros
Optional strip of 7776m2 of land incuding a large open reservoir: 25,000 Euros
House and land together: 59,000 Euros

PRICE FOR BOTH HOUSES AND BOTH PLOTS AS ONE PACKAGE: 110,000 Euros

In front of the house is the original acequia, or irrigation water channel, which still runs with abundant and constant water, supplying the fields and the houses with fresh, mountain water, as it has been for many, many decades.

Renovated, these houses would work extremely well as long term rental homes and also as holiday homes for tourists, walkers and hikers, and cyclists.
