The first impression of the house is its stunning location, far
enough from the sunny ghetto that is the coastal strip …. next, the
faded grandeur … marble everywhere, spacious rooms, big roof
terrace, grounds with potential for vegetables … some subsidence
leading to lifting tiles and evidence of a lifetime of artefacts
around the place … its Italian owner died four years ago, his long separated English wife now wanting to return to the dubious pleasures
of the British weather, the presence of children and grandchildren
more than compensating … anyway her home is there now, this place
just wants a new owner with sufficient funds to buy it (around £400k)
and renovate it (nearly as much again) … who knows when that will
happen … maybe the estate agent arriving Tuesday?
In the meantime, this footloose pensioner has a luxury villa and
ancient cat to take care of, a Land Rover to assist exploration
locally, a language to learn, a blog and maybe a book to write …
the nature of reality to explore … and sunshine …
Good to note that you have arrived safely in San Enrique de Guadiaro.
ReplyDeleteThe images of Casa del Puente and grounds look as though there is plenty to do when you are there!
