Charming rustic house with spectacular views in the Tiétar Valley

Sometimes you dream of owning a house in the countryside, a true refuge. And the years slip by: weekdays in Madrid, weekends at shopping malls, and summers in increasingly crowded places. You keep looking at houses online; they all seem the same, all with the same neutral decor. And in the end, you keep putting it off for “later.” The risk of not deciding now is that you’ll continue to feel you’re missing a place of your own where you can breathe deeply, truly disconnect, and have a corner of nature that’s yours, not rented or borrowed.

The solution can be as simple as choosing a place that allows you to completely change your pace as soon as you park the car. This rustic country house in Piedralaves, in the heart of the Tiétar Valley, nestled between the Sierra de Gredos and the Montes de Toledo mountains, is designed for just that: for you to arrive home with the week’s weariness and leave it all behind on the porch, to wake up to birdsong instead of traffic, to feel that you finally have a second home with soul, surrounded by nature and with enough space to create your own relaxing routines. For many foreign buyers, this type of property is exactly what they envision when they imagine “a country house in Spain”: authenticity, beautiful scenery, and tranquility.

The property sits on a plot of over 2,700 m² and has approximately 278 m² of living space. Access to the property is through a metal gate on the side, and as you approach the house, a staircase leads to a spacious porch that spans the entire frontage. It’s a wide, inviting porch with a pergola that provides natural shade in summer and becomes the heart of outdoor living: leisurely meals, long after-dinner conversations, and chairs gazing at the sunset. All around, fig trees, producing olive trees, and fruit trees constantly remind you that you’re on a vibrant property, with a well that facilitates irrigation and the upkeep of the land, and a pine forest and woodland surrounding the house that reinforces the feeling of being immersed in nature.

Inside, you’re greeted by a large, open-plan living room with windows overlooking the porch, letting in the valley’s light. The double-glazed aluminum windows with security bars offer both comfort and safety. The antique wood-burning stove, the rustic reddish ceramic floor, the country-style lamps, the wooden furniture, and the decorative details—ceramic plates, water jugs, antique glass demijohns, and paintings by the owner herself, who is also an artist—create a warm and very personal atmosphere. It’s not a standardly decorated house; it’s a lived-in space with character.

One of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom. The overall layout can be adapted to your needs. Currently, it’s arranged with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. Outside, there’s also a large storage shed. This house is for you if you’re looking for a unique second home, if you value personality over catalog perfection, if you dream of having olive trees in production, a vine-covered porch to spend afternoons in
, a surrounding pine forest, and open views of the Tiétar Valley. It’s ideal if you live in Madrid and want to be within reasonable distance but feel, upon arrival, that you’re in another world. Or if you’re coming from abroad seeking an authentic Spanish countryside experience, with a rustic estate, trees, a well, and starry skies. It’s not for you if what you want is a gated community with a communal pool, close neighbors, and a completely neutral and modern house, devoid of any trace of life or history.

If, after reading this, you feel this house is speaking to you, the best thing you can do is come and see it. Contact us and arrange a visit: when you sit on that porch, see the olive trees, and look out towards the mountains, you’ll likely be amazed… and won’t want to miss this opportunity.
