| "Masia El Losar is a magnificent imposing farmhouse of almost 1000sqm set in about 26 hectares of private hillside with spectacular views of the beautiful Sierra de Gudar, close to Valencia. The house has been semi restored to provide a tasteful and sizeable 3 bedroomed, 2 living roomed house with large terraced gardens to the exterior. The remainder of the property offers potential for a further 8 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and further living rooms with all the main construction work already completed. The house can be split into two properties each with its own entrance for rental purposes, or a small hotel but equally makes a huge linked family home. Inital marketing of the hotel has been started.
Parts of the property date back over 250 years. Structurally sound and built with attractive local stone - some of the walls are over 2 feet thick! The main roofs have been replaced / refurbished and provision of services has been established. Energy is provided by generator and battery with scope for solar panels available. Water is from a large well within the grounds and the property has it's own septic tank. The owner is currently in the process of installing a phone line as a landline connection is possible. They are at present using mobiles for calls and internet.
It is understood that the new owners may be eligible for some government grants to assist in the further restoration and for the provision of solar panels. The vendors have already started this process rolling, but the wheels of Spanish Bureaucracy move very slowly!
The village of Nogueruelasis just 3km away (5mins by car) and has a primary school, Doctors, library, 2 shops a bar and a hotel. The nearby larger town of Rubielos de Mora is very "chocolate boxy" and is extremely popular with Spanish tourists and due to the status of 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' it is still very unspoilt. Also close by is the ski resort of Valdelinares which can be reached in around 25 minutes. Valencia is 1 hour away by car.
It should also be noted that the vendors are prepared to sell some of the furniture, building equipment (cement mixer, scaffolding etc) a car (Grand Cherokee Jeep) and trailer plus the generator, batteries etc. This will all be by direct negotiation.
This house has so many possibilities and anyone who views can't help but be impressed by the amount of work done and the high standard of the restoration already completed by the vendors. With its breath-taking views and proximity to the ski resorts of Valdelinares, this property would make a fantastic Casa Rural (country hotel). This type of accommodation is becoming increasingly popular with Spaniards and with proper marketing, this business could undoubtedly also attract an international clientele. The location of this house with it's access to the most beatiful un-spoilt countryside is sure to appeal to hikers and cyclists alike.
