Gozo - Gharb - Farmhouses

GHARB GOZO - Tucked away on the fringes of Gozo’s western-most village, in the high-end Birbuba hamlet of Gharb, set a distance from the road in a private community, this farmhouse is an owner’s finished project sitting on the very edge of an ODZ boundary. Enjoying views to the North West up to the Tal-Gordan lighthouse and to the West towards San Lawrenz’s cliff-edges, this renovated property is literally a few steps away from the start of nature walks in unspoilt Gozitan valleys and countryside. The area is very peaceful and quiet and close to a designated dark-sky area as per Mepa designation. The property is on a footprint of 770SQM with a total area of 980sqm. Set on three floors, with the ground floor surrounding a sheltered courtyard (with steps leading to an underground cellar space) which then leads onto a massive deck and pool, itself abutting a soft area (with two wells) which is planted with olives and irrigated. The pool is newly built with white thick PVC liner, reaching a gradual depth from 30cm to 2.5m. All utilities are brand new and the water system is pressurised. Upon entering the property, one is greeted with a kitchen on their left, retaining original arches and with a view on the approach to the house as well as to the courtyard. Through the rustic style kitchen, one can proceed into an area suited for a study, located adjacent to a guest bathroom ( newly tiled and fitted) and a large arched mill room. The mill room overlooks the courtyard through two windows and either leads to the courtyard itself and an external staircase to the first floor and large terrace, or through a secondary doorway to an internal staircase featuring reclaimed stone and wooden beams. All the ground floor (internally and externally) has been recently tiled with Spanish sourced flagstones. The first-floor features six renovated rooms, (two double bedrooms, one single bedroom, three bathrooms). This first floor is particularly bright, airy and sunny, with a wide interconnecting corridor and views to the North West, leading to a very sunny terrace. The sun’s overhead passage literally bathes the property in light until late afternoon. Through a white spiral metal staircase, one can go up to the second floor which has been newly built by the owner. On the second floor, two bedrooms (one of which is very large and enjoys a walk-in space), share a bathroom and each have their own large terrace with far-reaching country views. All the property has been fitted with white PVC apertures manufactured to spec in Germany. New solid wood internal and external doors have also been installed as of late. This is an owner’s project in an area known for quiet living and will undoubtedly appeal to someone who is a home person, appreciates character property and is a lover of peace, quiet and spot of gardening. As an investment opportunity and potential for property appreciation in Gozo in the years to come, this is as good as it gets.
