Unique opportunity to buy an original house in the centre of this remarkable village. The first "pueblo ecologico" in Spain, Ohanes was famous for its grapes. About 950 metres high and nine kilometers from Canjayar, the regional centre, it has its own school and several bars and restaurants.
Undoubtedly in need of much renovation, the structure of the house is sound and waterproof, with the original walls being over 2ft thick. Many original Alpujarra features remain, such as the fireplace, the windows, doors and incredible slate flagstones. The thick walls keep it warm in winter and cool in summer, and skylights make the best use of natural light from above.
The house has been rewired, and a shower and toilet installed. There is a basic kitchen, and it is habitable - just! There are many rooms and it is really up to the owner how many become bedrooms or living rooms, but there is potential for as many as seven bedrooms. Originally two houses, it could be split again into two dwellings without much problem - there are doors to road above and to the road below. There are also a couple of amazing storage rooms, which could be used as bodegas, bars, a coffee shop ... this is one of the few occasions where the words "scope" and "potential" can be genuinely applied.
