Description of Property:
A large family house built at the beginning of the 20th century, with substantial grounds, and two cottages.
The living area of the house is spread over 3 floors, with a living–room, dining-room, kitchen,  bedroom, and  bathroom on the 1st floor. The hallway on the 1st floor has an impressive period wooden ceiling.  A large ornate staircase rises to the 2nd floor accommodation, that comprises 5 large bedrooms leading off a central corridor. The staircase continues up to 2 large attic rooms that could be converted into further living accommodation.
The floors throughout the building are wooden. The building also exhibits some very fine woodwork, particularly the period panelled doors, and much of its original character is preserved.
Below the house, the basement was used as a wine cellar, and comprises 2 rooms.
There is a parking area to the side of the house.

The land is split into 2 pieces: the first approx. 200m² with orange trees, was purchased by the original owner to prevent any houses being built that might block the view. The second piece of land, that exceeds 2,200m², is to the rear of the property and is a mixture of flat areas and terraces. The property also has 3 large water tanks that gather water from the roof of the local church to irrigate the land, and contain 1.2 million litres of water. Part of the garden, although slightly overgrown, was originally laid out formally, and includes a balcony that once housed a series of beehives giving the house its name.
Vines, plum trees, quince trees, walnut trees, almond trees, pear trees, apple trees, apricot trees, nespera and pomegranate trees all grow on the land.

Approx. 75m from the main house there is an additional property included in the sale price: a substantial building comprising accommodation, store-rooms and barn, with electricity installed, that could easily be converted into 3 or 4 self-contained holiday cottages.
