Rustic Estate “Santa Bárbara” – Bocairent, Valencia, Spain
An extraordinary opportunity for a truly special project!
Nestled within the Sierra Mariola Natural Park, this stunning 56.68-hectare agricultural-forest estate comprises 48 ha of wooded land, 6 ha of dry-farm terrain and the remainder devoted to various infrastructures.
The built heritage totals 1,154 m² across three rectangular floors of approx. 280 m² each:
Ground floor: service quarters with 3 bedrooms, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, fireplace lounge, dining room and adjoining farmyard, stable and former olive-mill.
First floor (noble living floor): 7 bedrooms, kitchen, living rooms and 2 toilets.
Second floor (agricultural chamber): open floor space for agrarian use, easily convertible.
Internal staircases link all three levels, with separate accesses to the first and second floors.
Additionally, the estate features a private chapel (84 m² + 10 m² gallery) with 5 m high ceilings, accessed directly from the first floor. There is also a courtyard (60 m² uncovered + 90 m² covered), wine-cellar, press-room, stables and further outbuildings totalling 220 m².
The property is in good structural condition, though requiring full restoration for residential use. Architectural highlights include ceramic baseboards, historic flooring, decorative ceiling paintings, fireplaces and the restored chapel.
Importantly, the estate benefits from a favourable report for developing a rural accommodation and catering business, and a forest-management plan enabling the use of subsidies for the upkeep of forest mass and prevention of wild-fires.
Experience a privileged natural setting, heritage architecture with character, and a real chance to craft a unique project in the heart of Sierra Mariola.
