Description
Nestled in the heart of the pastoral village of Lifta, this historic stone house offers a unique blend of natural beauty and rich history. Situated at the western entrance of Jerusalem, north of Highway 1, Lifta was declared a national nature reserve by Israel in 2017. The property, approximately 200 years old, boasts 8 rooms over two floors, set on a sprawling lot of about 1,000 square meters. Surrounded by lush greenery, it provides a serene escape from the bustling city life of Jerusalem. With a built size of ± 300 sq.m. and permission for an additional 600 sq.m., this house is perfect for residential or studio/office use. It features 2 bathrooms, parking for 6 vehicles, and offers views in all four directions: north, east, west, and south. The village of Lifta is steeped in history, with some recognizing it as the biblical town of Mei Naftoach. Most of its structures date back to the Ottoman Era, with archaeological evidence suggesting habitation nearly 4,000 years ago. The area’s highlight is the enchanting Lifta spring, known for its picturesque natural swimming pool. The future of Lifta involves plans by the Israel Land Administration to develop a luxury neighborhood while preserving its historical charm.
