    Description

    We are a couple with three children who have the good fortune to enjoy a cozy hacienda of twelve hectares of land and an old house solariga, seventeenth century, rehabilitated and divided into three apartments, two of them destined to rural tourism. The farm is situated on a farm of great ecological value
    A privileged place, located in the center of the Northwest Region of the Region Murciana, in the municipality of Cehegín. , Exactly in a place called "El Escobar", a city that stands out for its numerous vestiges of rock art, archaeological sites and its compact old town.
    Surrounded by extensive Mediterranean forests and next to a green track of outstanding ecotourism importance.

    The complex is bordered by the greenway of the northwest, a pilgrimage route to Caravaca de la Cruz, which this year celebrates its Jubilee year.
    We have 12 hectares of land for organic farming and a small farm with specimens of peacocks, turkeys, Celtiberian goats, pigs, sheep and a mare
    In addition to large swimming pool we offer barbecue area, wood oven and a terrace with views of the mountain and the farming areas.
    We are currently converting this into AGROECOLOGICAL FARM AND DIDACTIC FARM, SELF-MANAGED, WITH THE PURPOSE OF PROMOTING ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY, RECYCLING, BIOCONSTRUCTION, ECOTOURISM, COEXISTENCE, TRAINING AND CULTURE ...
    A space where ecological agriculture, agricultural breeding, bio-construction, handicraft training, mountain sports or social gathering are combined, and agrotourism is an authentic alternative in harmony with the land.

    Somos una pareja con tres hijos que tenemos la gran suerte de disfrutar de una acogedora hacienda de doce hectáreas de tierra y una antigüa casa solariga, siglo XVII, rehabilitada y dividida en tres apartamento, dos de ellos destinados al turismo rural. La hacienda se sitúa en una finca de gran valor ecológico
    Un lugar privilegiado, situado en el centro de la Comarca del Noroeste de la Región Murciana , en el municipio de Cehegín , exactamente en un paraje denominado “El Escobar “, ciudad que destaca por sus numerosos vestigios de Arte Rupestre , Yacimientos Arqueológicos y su compacto Casco Antiguo.
    Comarca rodeada de extensos bosques mediterráneos y junto a una vía verde de destacada importancia ecoturística.
    El complejo linda con la vía verde del noroeste, camino de peregrinaje hacia Caravaca de la Cruz que este año celebra su año jubilar.
    Contamos con 12 hectáreas de tierra destinadas a la agricultura ecológica y una pequeña granja con ejemplares de pavos reales, pavos, cabras celtibéricas, cerdos, ovejas y una yegua
    Además de gran piscina ofrecemos zona de barbacoas, horno de leña y una terraza con vistas a la montaña y a las zonas de cultivo.
    Actualmente estamos reconvirtiendo en FINCA AGROECOLÓGICA Y GRANJA DIDÁCTICA, AUTOGESTIONABLE, CON EL FIN DE PROMOCIONAR LA SOSTENIBILIDAD ECOLÓGICA, EL RECICLAJE, LA BIOCONSTRUCCIÓN, EL ECOTURISMO, LA CONVIVENCIA, LA FORMACIÓN Y LA CULTURA…
    Un espacio donde se conjugue la agricultura ecológica, crianza agropecuaria, bioconstrucción, formación en artesanía, deportes de montaña o reunión social y hacer del agroturismo una alternativa auténtica en armonía con la tierra.
