This 3 Bed Villa is situated on a large plot, featuring a well-maintained Olive Grove. It is located just a few minutes’ walk from the small village of El Canton and only a five-minute drive to the larger town of Alguena.
The Villa is in a liveable condition and spans a plot area of 6,489 m2. Approximately 5,100 m2 is set aside for the Olive Grove, which has a separate entrance used by a local farmer for maintenance. This farmer looks after the trees and benefits from the majority of the olives harvested. The remaining 1,300 m2 of the plot is dedicated to the house, which has a separate entrance located next to the property. The area is positioned on a small road with no through access, limiting traffic and enhancing accessibility to the driveway.
Olive Grove and Additional Flora
The Olive Grove includes 50 olive trees that are currently in production. In addition to olives, the property features a Fig Tree, 3 Almond Trees, and a Pomegranate Tree.
Options are available for maintaining the garden. The local farmer can continue to manage these plants, taking his payment from the harvest while providing a small amount of fruit and olives for personal use. Alternatively, you can choose to manage the maintenance and harvesting yourself.
Interior Layout
The property boasts a build size of 138 m2. Some renovation has been initiated, leaving space for future enhancements.

At the rear of the living area, you will find a large kitchen and dining space with a fireplace, equipped with essential appliances such as a gas hob, oven, extractor fan, fridge freezer, and dishwasher.
On the opposite side of the living area, a corridor connects to the other two double bedrooms. Each of these rooms is substantial in size, with a family bathroom conveniently located nearby. This bathroom includes a double sink unit, shower, bidet, washing machine, and W/C.
Upper Level Potential
A small stairway leads to the upper part of the property. The entire space features a new metal roof support, currently set up as an additional bedroom, with the remainder of the area being open plan. This upper floor has versatile potential for various uses. It could serve as a recreational space, hobby area, or even a home observatory taking advantage of the low light pollution in the Murcia region.
