We are proud to present this fantastic old Bodega & Almazara renovation project located just a few minutes walk from town, with stunning views across the Spanish countryside and a large private garden.
The Bodega is set on the end of a small hamlet just on the outskirts of Town, and has parking in front of the property, or you could decide to make a driveway and entrance from the side of the property or from the end of the garden, which is around 60 metres long.
The property has been used for over a century for making wine from the local vineyard and Olive oil from local Olive Groves, and was built in 1920 as the first industrial building in the Hamlet, with some of the surrounding properties first built in 1890. The last few properties in the row next to the Bodega were completed in 1930.
Inside we have a very large room, with a huge solid Wood entrance door and at the back of this room, sits the enormous Olive press with stone table and stone grinding press, still usable and an amazing feature of this property.
To the left side of the main room, is the Grape pressing floor with storage basin below the ground level. Here they would of walked across the grapes, crushing them and sending the juices to the storage basin.
The room is further divided with two more rooms at the far end, one of these also has the vintage steel grape presses attached to the back wall.
There is two more rooms accessible from the main room, one of these has been used as a storage area, and the next room has an original feature Fireplace and was used as a kitchen area. Thers is also another room with the access from the back of the house, with the doorway through to the main house currently bricked up.
The main area of the property has the original wooden beams running across the entire property, some of these are in need of replacement but there are some that are still in good condition. In reality, the entire roof would need to come away and be replaced, but some of these original beams could be saved and used in other areas of the property or garden.
The main room of the house is high enough to have another floor, and would create 2 really good sized bedrooms, and with the two rooms at the back downstairs, it would be a simple design to make this property into a 4 large bedroom house, with living area, dining area and kitchen area all leading out into the garden.
The garden at the back of the property is very private, with only a small track running along on er side and an Olive Grove the other side. This area has absolutely stunning views with mountains and hills surrounding the small Town of El Canton.
Water and electricity are not connected, but are available at the property to have the connection made.

Potential for 4/5 Bedrooms

El Canton is a small village, just over the border from Alicante into Murcia, the Alicante border is on the other side of the road! So the property purchase tax is lower here, 7.5% compared to 10% in Alicante.
The village has a small shop, and a restaurants bar, along with a health centre and hardware shop. The nearest large supermarket is around 5 minutes away, in Alguena, where you will also find a good range of shops and cafes, and the Sunday market in Alguena is always a nice treat. The property is only 10 minutes away from Hondón de los Frailes, very popular with expats from across Europe and has many British and Dutch run Restaurants and Cafes, and also a small British supermarket.
The property is around 40 minutes from Alicante Airport, Alicante city and its beautiful Blue flag beaches.
