Nestled in one of the most unspoiled corners of Extremadura, this two‑storey independent chalet offers a rare opportunity to own a private nature sanctuary. The property is located at San Isidro Labrador, 2 – Hornachos (Badajoz), just minutes from the village yet surrounded by absolute peace and privacy.

The property sits on a sprawling 1,050 m² plot filled with mature fruit trees and olive groves – a true haven for wildlife and a paradise for those who love fresh air, open space, and self‑sufficiency.

From your doorstep, you enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views over the Sierra Grande de Hornachos (a designated Zona de Interés Regional – Regional Interest Zone) and the valley of the Presa de Los Molinos reservoir. The sunrises and sunsets here are simply unforgettable

This is a prime spot for exotic birdwatching: the Sierra is part of a key Mediterranean ecosystem where you can regularly observe:

• Azure‑winged Magpies (Cyanopica cooki)

• Eurasian Hoopoes (Upupa epops)

• Spanish Imperial Eagles (Aquila adalberti) – rare and majestic

• Black Vultures (Aegypius monachus) and Griffon Vultures

• European Bee‑eaters (Merops apiaster) – a flash of rainbow colours

• Little Bustards (Tetrax tetrax) in nearby open pastures
