As you wander up to the main finca past the swimming pool, you are greeted by a long patio which wraps around the finca leading to patio doors where you have access to the living room or you can choose to meander up the 4 steps which lead to the front door, here you will find a covered terrace where you can sit and enjoy in complete shade, there is a jasmine, rose and honeysuckle growing along this fence-line, giving a wonderful aroma at night.
The finca features two double bedrooms and one bathroom, an open-plan kitchen with dining area, plenty of storage and two arches which lead into the lounge and also provides access to the patio. The living room features a brand new 14KW log burner (bought in 2025) which sustains the house all winter. There are also 2 air conditioning units, one in the main bedroom and the other in the living room. The finca boasts fitted mosquito blinds in all the windows, along with black out blinds.
The house was originally a small outbuilding with many Moorish features, those features still remain today, in 2003 the house was extended to what it currently is today – 99m2, with 353m2 of outdoor space and patios, including the driveway.
The Swimming Pool – 8x5m2
We renovated the swimming pool in 2026, along with the pipes and the pump. This pool is painted by choice as over the years we have had the pool in many various colours, this can be tiled if preferred. The pool is surrounded by fir trees, and two flower beds on either side, a palm tree, orange, grapefruit and olive trees. Some of which are over one hundred years old!
The Pool Shower & Toilet
This is located close to the end of the swimming pool and features a Japanese squat toilet which is plumbed into the septic tank. This cute pool shower also features a sink which was hand crafted from a limb off the Mimosa tree in the back garden. The teak floor allows drainage onto the garden which it proudly sits. You will find this pool shower as you meander up to the pool, it is well hidden as it is nestled under a Jacaranda and a Moroccan Morning Glory, an Apricot tree quietly grows up one side of the wooden clad wall
The Shed – 50m2 of Living Space
The shed features a kitchen, living room, 1 large bedroom (4x3m) and an outside patio and additional covered seating area, this offers great views to Monda Castle. The shed also hosts a fireplace in the bedroom for those cosy winter nights and is ample to run the whole shed during winter. We installed a brand new air conditioning unit in July 2026.
The Car Park
This space has been developed to hold 5 cars, it is of gravel construction with hardcore underneath, surrounded by mature plants; jasmine, bignonias, lemon and orange trees. There is scope to add a covered porch over the car park, over the years we have erected sail shades.
The Animals
As you approach the shed from the main gate, we meet the animal houses, this is where we have looked after many birds over the years from chickens, to guineas and even ducks that we have rescued and raised! We have three houses for our birds for night time protection, we feature a five bar gate which separates human living from animal living and this is located next to a vegetable plot where the pistachios are also planted.

The Greenhouse, Gardens and Ponds
As you enter the property through the main electric gates, we feature a greenhouse attached to a vegetable plot and three ponds which are home to frogs, fish and terrapins. The almonds trees are located in this section of the garden and during the winter we collect water from the roof of the greenhouse to service the garden during the hotter months, this section of the garden also features a permaculture pit, this is where we place all our yearly trimmings during the autumn, winter and spring and leave to mulch – this hole is 2m deep and 1.2m diameter. As this pit mulches all the garden trimmings and then collects water during winter (this slows down the rain water and allows it to get deep into the ground rather than running off and taking top soil with it) it feeds all the plants surrounding it and keeps plants from drying up.
Permaculture
Over the past 20 years of owning this house we have paid particular attention to the land and especially water collection for sustainability, the whole plot has been mulched over a period of 5 years and then top soil placed back so the ground holds water and moisture for longer than other properties on the market.
All water, electricity and sewage connections are brand new and laid out in a manner that the next owner can maintain without issue. All water pipes are brand new along with the fixings which have been upgraded from plastic to brass.
