Country Estate with Dome and Observatory · L'Ampolla

About this property

Estate of 12,707 m² near L'Ampolla with a private astronomical observatory, olive trees, a vegetable garden and views of the sea and Delta. Some houses are remembered for one detail; this one for its dome, from which the night sky over the Delta becomes a show every evening. It lies a few minutes from the village and the sea, in a quiet and private setting.

The land is fully fenced, with a mature garden and good access. It is a place for people who love the countryside: there is a pond, many olive trees, fruit trees, ornamental and exotic plants, a vegetable garden and an area for animals, currently home to chickens. Outside there is also a barbecue area, a garage, a large carport and several storage spaces.

The two-storey house, with six bedrooms and three bathrooms, was built in 1985. On the ground floor are a large kitchen with a dining area, a spacious living room with a fireplace, a bedroom and a bathroom, opening onto a partly covered terrace. Upstairs are the other five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sitting room with direct access to a large open terrace overlooking the sea and the Ebro Delta.

From this floor, a staircase leads up to the dome. The observatory still has its astronomical equipment; the opening mechanism needs servicing, something worth knowing that takes nothing away from the charm of having the stars just above your home.

The property has mains electricity, a private well, garden irrigation, oil-fired central heating and air conditioning.

L'Ampolla is the gateway to the Ebro Delta: a fishing village with a harbour, calm beaches and a natural park just around the corner, with rice fields, lagoons and flamingos. Far from big-city light pollution, it is also a good place for stargazing. Reus airport is less than an hour away, and Barcelona and Valencia airports about two hours by car.

A property for families who want space, for anyone seeking self-sufficiency with a vegetable garden and animals, or for any astronomy enthusiast. It is sold exclusively through Tatjana Wellem: arrange your viewing and see it for yourself.
