Surrounded by extraordinary natural landscapes including the Tabla de la Yedra along the Bullaque river valley and the Cabañeros National Park just a few kilometres away.

A second home (90 m²) with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and its own garage and garden. A hunting lodge (80 m²) with lounge, fireplace, bedroom and bathroom, plus an annex with two horse stables and an independent courtyard.

Productive Land

Protected Forest

Reservoir

1.47 ha reservoir collecting rainwater and runoff. Recreational, irrigation and livestock use.

Infrastructure

600 m² industrial warehouse with water and electricity. Two water sources: a borehole with automated pump system (100m from residences) and a well with 3 km of piping serving multiple plots. Three traditional wells and seven ponds for livestock. 72 solar panels producing 20 kW, with bird-protected power lines. Internet via radio across the entire complex.

Income Sources

EU CAP subsidies, forestry and reforestation subsidies, organic olive oil production, wildlife management and hunting leases (game management plan active until 2029), and solar energy self-consumption reducing external energy costs. The estate is designed to be economically self-sufficient.

Operational Continuity

The estate operates with on-site, full-time caretaking. The current caretaker has long-term familiarity with every operational system on the property — from the solar installation and irrigation network to forestry plans, livestock management, organic certification audits, and the seasonal cycles of the olive grove and game cultivation. Continuity of this role is available to new ownership.

For buyers seeking a structured handover, the family is open to supporting a transition period covering administrative records (CAP subsidies, forestry plan, hunting plan, organic certification), supplier relationships, regulatory documentation, and operational know-how built over years of stewardship. The format and duration of this support can be tailored to the buyer's needs, with no fixed timeline.
