Correctly registered as a residential dwelling at the Registro de la Propiedad (Land Registry), on the Catastro (tax office property register), and constructed with the appropriate planning permissions and licences
.
The property is currently run as a successful boutique b&b (with the corresponding licences and permits), and could also be easily adapted for other functions such as a yoga or artists' retreat centre, an equestrian facility or simply as a fabulous family home.
Cretas is in the heart of the Matarrana, a beautiful corner of Teruel province sometimes known as the 'Spanish Tuscany'. Close to Els Ports Natural Park -with its wealth of wildlife, hiking trails and mountain refuges-, here the three historic territories of Catalonia, Valencia, and Aragon meet. The countryside is a gorgeous mosaic of almond and olive groves and woodland, with rolling hills, drystone walls, and meadows of wildflowers.
The historic centre of the village is exceptionally well-preserved, with traditional stone houses, arched portals and a magnificent Gothic-Renaissance church. Here the pace of life is slow, the people are friendly and there are good spots to enjoy a glass of wine and the region's simple but excellent cuisine.
Supermarkets, pharmacies, schools, shops, restaurants, bars, and other amenities are available in the nearby historic town of Valderrobres, 8km from the property.
Ideal for horse owners, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a recently constructed character home in an idyllic rural location, with the bonus of a functioning income stream. Contact us for full details or a visit!
