We welcome the opportunity to market ‘’exclusively’’, this very rare and unique large Spanish Mill that was operating as a mill in 1818 grinding wheat, oats and chickpeas, nestled in a ravine and originally with the Micena river nearby which is a tributary from the Albaida river.  The mill is mentioned as far back as the 13^th century in the (Book of Distribution).   It was one of the most important principalities of the Marquis of Belgida until he sold it in 1861 to a neighbour Navarro Yeste.   After changing hands a few times over the years, it is now a wonderful weekend / fiesta and holiday home for the current Spanish owners.  As children, they use to swim in the river nearby that gave the power to operate the grinding wheels to grind the oats etc but now it is a dry a riverbed.

Nestled in a tranquil and private location, Casa Molino offers the unique chance to create something truly special. This stunning, historic mill has a build size of 597 m2 and is ready for a visionary buyer to put their stamp on it and turn it into a dream home or a grand design project.  Don’t judge the outside before you look on the inside, you will see how easy it would be to live in it and reform the different floors to your taste.  It boasts currently, 8 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms but plenty of scope to create more bedrooms and bathrooms if required.

Set on a vast plot of 42,848 m², with many different varieties of fruit trees.  There is a water source / stream that runs to the back of the land, but this is not near the mill.  The property has incredible potential for anyone wanting to craft something extraordinary in a beautiful part of Spain.

With mains electric and agricultural water connected the property is totally habitable, but it’s the space and possibilities that will excite you. It was registered for rates at the town hall in 1970, the mill is ripe for transformation and offers a perfect combination of rustic charm and untapped potential!!

The Approach

The Land
The land surrounding the property is breathtaking, with sweeping views of the distant mountains. The small stream still runs through the grounds to the back of the land, and remnants of the original mill machinery are still in place, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. The land is fertile and perfect for agricultural or leisure pursuits.

Near the Naya, you’ll find a traditional Spanish BBQ which is perfect for weekly paellas and family gatherings in the gorgeous Spanish sun.
