A unique opportunity to acquire a magnificent Spanish country estate and farm.

Renovated from an old winery which produced the celebrated Romeral wine, this stately home is located in the mountains above the village of Planes near Muro de Alcoy.

This is an imposing property which commands spectacular views over the surrounding mountains, valleys and the lake of Vall de Gallinera.

Completely renovated in 2000, the 1100m2 house stands in 150.

000m2 (37 acres) of cherry orchards, olive groves and rolling countryside.

The area is dotted with remote, picturesque villages and farms in one of the most beautiful and tranquil regions of Spain, yet easily accessible via major road networks.The estate is therefore only 45 minutes from the coast and 1 hour from the cities of Valencia and Alicante.

The house is set back from the road and is reached by a long private driveway through the cherry orchards.There is ample parking at the main entrance of the house; the drive continues around the property. The grounds close to the house contain a horse paddock with stables, fishpond, swimming pool, formal gardens and terraces.The grounds further from the house, but still within the estate, then become a patchwork of fruit orchards and pine forest. The nearby lake irrigates the countryside naturally. The front door of the mansion opens to a main hall with elegant wooden staircase, living areas, enormous kitchen and dining room before leading to a fabulous inner courtyard with barbecue grill and spectacular views over the valley.There are also rooms which can be used as offices, gym, cinema, playroom or bodega and a large, self-contained 2 bedroom staff apartment.

There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms plus two guest WCs and all rooms have views to the wonderful scenery of the estate and the mountains beyond. The house has central heating and air conditioning.

The property is currently a private country retreat, but could be converted into a country house hotel.
