Villa for sale

Historic Mill House. This is an ancient 500 year old watermill.  The mill was designed for contemporary living and has been renovated to the highest standards using quality natural materials. The building has solid two foot thick walls and a traditionally woven cane and beam ceilings.

Currently this is the only property on our portfolio that has achieved an A rating for emissions!

Antique windows and stable style doors were reformed, slate and original ceramic tiles were cleaned and relayed, cobble stones layed for the drive and sandstone slabs used for the doorsteps.

The heating and cooling systems are natural. It has two wood burners, walls built using refractory bricks, and ducting. The mills air cooling system is based on the cool air created by the water that flows under part of the building and the cave inside the lower room of the mill. A stream running under a bathroom, which can be seen through grills, embedded in the floor helps cool the house in the summer. The property is solar powered with a back up generator with solar hot water collector and gas boiler as a back up in the winter.

Through the renovation of the building the area was planted with many indigenous trees and shrubs including olive, grape vines, pomegranate, orange, lemon, nispero plum, carob, almond, fig, rosemarypipes, tomato, thyme, lavender, fennel, capers, prickly pear.

This gem is in the heart of one of Europes finest coastal areas, completely untouched and only 10 minutes drive from the six beaches of Carboneras.

The property currently is a large house with three bathrooms, two fitted kitchens and a separate building, which with minor work could easily be converted either into a third kitchen or an ensuite bedroom. There is also a second outbuilding close to the main house. Both outbuildings have water and electricity connected to them and can easily be extended to the latter building, too. This gives flexibility of either splitting the property into four spacious self catering apartments or five ensuite bedrooms plus a sixth bedroom forming an owners accommodation. The property has two large covered patios, one to the front and one to the back as well as two sun patios and a decking area adjacent to the building, which is partly converted into a kitchen with water and electricity connected. There is still some remedial work to the outside so it isnt too late to leave your mark on this special place.

The mills ecological credentials got the building awarded an international kitemark of sustainability in 2010.

The mill is currently operating a solar powered film studio and one of the films made here has recently been awarded twice in Hollywood.

The mill has been awarded a historic building status and has an official Junta de Andalucia sign in front of it.

This unique property offers flexibility in design and vast scope for further development as a tourist retreat.
