Grand Design house in Spain

















 GRAND DESIGN HOUSE IN SPAIN
There is a BBC program called "Grand Design".  What they do is televise the building of a unique home whether it be it's location or it's design. The home featured below in on 7 acres with the incredible view you see below.  The roof on this house is poured concrete and very untraditional.
The entire front of the house is glass and with a view like this you can understand why.  As this young couple built this house they made many changes that were very costly and they got the house they love but they have had to come up with ways to earn money to pay for it. They run biking, horse back riding, and 4 wheeler tours.  They have a gift shop on the first floor of the house and a tea room outdoors for visitors.


The view says it all.
There were also a couple of these pigs on the property. 
A solar hot water system
They also have  on the property a couple of rental units.

There is a hot tub and two pools.
There are horses on the property and they take groups out horse back riding.  They also do biking tours and 4 wheeler trips.  I think they do all these things in an effort to pay for this home they built which went way over budget.
For those who come to visit the house there is a coffee and tea shop. Jim and Jane, lee and Val (Jane's good friend).

In the front of the house is a gift shop.

This was an area around the house they called the tea garden.

How's that for a view?
It was a really interesting morning to say the least.
Here we are talking to the owner of the house.  It's been 10 years now that they have been in the house.
