This house is, without a doubt, special. It is located 1 km from the Abaran sports centre. To understand a little of this house’s history, we go back to 1900, when it was customary to have a house in the countryside with a small plot of land. The more powerful the owner, the larger their lands, and judging by the plot’s 20.800 m2, this was quite a gentleman. From the outside, you can already see that it has a different touch. An outdoor courtyard called 'la placeta' is where the family gathered every summer to rest in the shade of the trees and feel the coolness emanating from the central fountain. Long days spent running around the countryside, taking a dip in the pool that delighted young and old alike, and enjoying time off school are things you never forget. A dining pavilion with a long table and decorated with paintings on the wall was the place to get together with family and friends; the long after-lunch conversations, full of anecdotes and laughter, seemed never to end. To enter the house, there are two doors, the main one and the side one, which is reached by crossing the small square. A hallway full of jars and a cistern leads us to the living room, around 40m2 and of more recent construction. The owners decided to expand what used to be the stables and create a large space where everyone could make the most of every moment together. Further on, we find a small sitting room from which the three bedrooms are accessed. The first of them hides a secret: a side door gives access to the wine cellar, unrestored and retaining all the essence of special rooms like this #. # other spacious bedrooms are located on either side of the hallway leading to the main door. From the sitting room, we move into the kitchen, cosy and featuring a wonderful wood-fired oven. How could anyone forget the smell of freshly baked bread on Sundays? A little oil and we had our afternoon snack. From there, we go out to the patio, where we find a storage room for keeping things and where the washing machine is, followed by the bathroom, with a shower and renovated. The advantages of living in the countryside are countless, but if you add to that the possibility of earning a return from the land with fruit tree plantations, this is true luxury. In addition to having irrigation water, it has a 19.000-litre tank and electricity, so it is ready for immediate use. A new 35m2 garage and two pools complete this property. Those who know Abaran know that it is a natural paradise. We begin our riverside walk, which is of great ethnographic value and stretches from the Ruta de las Norias to the surroundings of El Jarral. These are magical spots with rich landscapes that can be enjoyed at any time of year. Walking alongside the Segura River is an experience that will awaken all five senses. Imagine a walk among centuries-old eucalyptus trees; if only they could tell the stories they have witnessed. Then you feel drawn towards a route that takes in the four waterwheels that have preserved their original character; in fact, they still irrigate the neighbouring orchards today. A marvel of engineering. Although you might not have imagined it, there is a beach here too. It is the El Jarral river beach, a haven of fresh water created by diverting the river’s flow with a dam, a hydraulic structure built to generate electricity. An essential stop to cool off and feel the energy of this lush, green setting. Just 40 km from Murcia and 3 from Cieza, the location is perfect for living life your own way without being far from everything. If your dream is to move to the countryside but you haven’t found a house that makes your heart skip a beat, stop looking, because this is the one.
