Hello, I'm Jose Carrasco
as always with you
from the beautiful island of Menorca
today it's the 10th of March 2011
I'm in the borough of Es Mercadal
to the north of the island of Menorca
and I'm in the area of Sa Roca
Sa Roca is ..let's see, its a rural region
with a small nucleus of properties
it is an unknow part of Menorca
it's very green
in fact it is one of the most
forested areas on the island
and here, I'm going to show you
a property that I would like to present to you
a rustic property which is for sale
all that you are looking at
well the biggest part
the pine forest at the top, no
but these flat areas belong to the property
it is a farm of 120,000 square metres expanse of land
that is 12 hectares
with two buildings
which are those in front of us
I think we are talking about perhaps
I do not have the information with me right now
I will have to check this
but I think we are talking about approximately
between 120m² and 150m²
later we will see a little more of the details of the buildings
the soil here is extemely fertile
you can see the abundance of vegetation that surrounds us
to give you an account
according to some very interesting informastion
following the census in Es Mercadal
this information appears in the webpage of Es Mercadal Town Hall
the population in Sa Roca
has an electorate of around only 30 inhabitants, I think 34
and this doubles in the summer and extends to around 70
therefore, can you image how peaceful this place is
this is one of the two buildings
wait a moment while I adjust as the sun is in my face
I'll move a little so that I can see what I am recording
this is the main house
as I said, later we will take a little look
here we can only hear the birds
and as I said, it is an extremly quiet place
so much so that in the upper part of this area
near the summit where there are few houses
there is a refuge for mediatation
very intruiging, and think it is worthwhile visiting
as you can imagine this is one of the places on the island of Menorca
that is extremely tranquil
and this spot is probably the quietest on all of the island
returning to the property
the property has water
by means of a shared well
with other adjacent properties
and with one specifically
and it has the possibility
at this moment it does not have electricity
but there is the possiblity to connect to the electricity supply
here we have another perspective
of the house
and of the barn
or "cobertizo" or "vaquería" as they say in Spanish
here we are totally surrounded by lush vegetation
escept for this flat area
its 120,000m² of land is very flat on the whole
later I'll go to anotherarea so that I can record it for you to see
and here we have some wonderful
I think they are...
I'm not sure but I think they are almonds..but
the colour of the flowers in unclear to me
this is just beautiful
and as I was saying, you can obtain electricity
this is the house which is within the property
and which we saw from the back
as you can see it is a typical Menorcan house, and very old
and which we call a farmhouse
it needs a complete reform
I will show you a little, but really there is not much to show you
this is the kitchen
it is full of junk
the truth is that there s very little light
this can be in the complete reform
the floor is slate, and very old
it seems that this area was once reformed
there are various rooms, there are three
but without a doubt, for those what want to reform
old farmhouses
for right now here in Ses Moreres
we are reforming three large properties
and one of these has land of over 100 hectares
more than a million square metres
reaching down to the beach
it is a very nice project
so if any of you would like to reform a farmhouse
or a large rural country house
without any committment, we can show you what we are doing
during the last three years
we have reformed houses of this type
and I believe, therefore, that we have gained a lot of experience
and furthermore, we can offer very competitive prices
okay, lets continue with this property
the upper part I am not sure that it has the necessary solidity
right now to take my 80 or so kilos
and for this reason Im not going to walk about much here
and....
well, I think it is sufficiently solid, but hey
I think we can risk it to give you an idea of the interior volume
and afterwards the other smaller building, the barn
as we say, the annex
this is the other side of the house
it is
I'm not sure
I'll give it a try
here we have a small room
there is rubbish everywhere
the house has not been used
