History
La Rosa is an independant farmhouse surrounded by its own land. It is currently vacant, but has been rented out in past years to take the Mirador overflow and on a longer term basis to a cactus farmer and to other village residents.
Construction
The new part of the structure was built upon the footprint of the original home. From the foundation on up, quality materials were used and assembled to code. The original part of the structure preserves the materials and methods used hundreds of years ago.
Because Rio de Aguas is located in the only desert region of Europe, it is dry and sunny 320 days per year on average. It is only a 35 minute drive to the East or South coast of Spain and the beautiful Med. Even date palms thrive here in a year-round growing season.
Solar Powered
Unplug from the grid completely.
Solar energy provides the electricity and the hot water. Household water is a gift of the river and drinking water is widely available from various fountains without cost.
Earn Income
Rent half the house and live in the other half.
The new part of the house may be locked off from the traditional part. In previous years, the older part was leased out to various current residents for their visiting relatives or while they made renovations to their own places.
