El Romero
El Romero
This unique property consists of two splendid fincas nestled within an expansive 18-acre estate.
El Romero serves as the vibrant epicenter of our retreat center, bustling with energy and activity. Meanwhile, Finca Verde stands as the cherished residence for our family and operates as the central command post of the retreat. We extend the warm hospitality of El Romero to yoga instructors, as well as large groups seeking solace in activities like pilates, tai chi, family gatherings, special occasions, or simply an escape into nature.
This property boasts a unique arrangement with three distinct escrituras, or land deeds, each with its own character and purpose.
​
The first escritura encompasses the retreat center, studio, and spa facilities, sprawling across a generous 35,000 square meters of land. The second escritura encompasses 25,000 square meters of land, offering additional possibilities. The third escritura encompasses the family house, a second pool, a pool bar, a yoga platform, and a reservoir, making it a multifunctional space.
​
Water sources on this property are abundant, with two primary wells, an old traditional well (not in use), and a remarkable hunters spring nestled within a cave. Furthermore, a substantial 580,000-liter reservoir graces the landscape, situated conveniently beside the yoga platform. For added convenience, there is the option to access town water from the local village, as some neighboring properties have done. Additionally, a water purification system ensures the usability of embalse water during the summer months.
​
Electricity supply is robust, featuring three-phase electricity servicing both houses, all conveniently billed together. The setup is flexible, allowing for easy division should one choose to sell either of the houses separately. Notably, in preparation for sustainability and cost efficiency, a significant number (approximately 26) of solar panels were installed before the pandemic. These solar panels have dramatically reduced utility bills, ensuring minimal expenses and even the possibility of covering most of the daily electrical needs, especially during busy periods, with a capacity of up to 11kw.
