Rumour has it that the Rolling Stones song ‘Angie’ was inspired by the long-legged viviacious ex-owner of this seductive little Camarlean finca that has a palpable its-all-happening-here 70’s vibe. The fascade is cute yet unpretentious with a 30 m2 pergola done in bamboo, wooden support beams enclosed by a white stucco walk with various ceramic tile elements. Its when you wander into the seductive time-warp past that you find this stone sofa occupying a whole corner decked with cushions and hope, the sloping bamboo roof uniting the wood stove with the stone shelves that support old pots and books, the roman tile that throws out a gentle light, the sun-dial on the wall and the swirling kitchen table-top that joins with the bright blue and white ceramic work-top and yes, you find yourself thinking ‘put on the Stones and pass me the green tea or whatever you are having yourself’. And leading from this living cum kitchen, there is the coolest mezzanine space in the 3D universe, done in old terra cotta tiles surrounded by a black cast iron guard-rail. This functions as a sleeping area but also can be a perfect cubby hole to curl up on the futon and read an old edition of On The Road by Jack Kerouac, which comes with the house. But really wherever you look, you have attention grabbing design elements like the stone arch leading off the kitchen into the second sleeping area/bedroom that has a separate walk in wardrobe and storage area; it also connects to a remarkable bathroom that truly defines an era with its coloured glass blocks throwing mulitcoloured light into the shower area, a mop-head shower head that drowns one in a cascade of water. Again the ceramic wall-tiles are eye-catching, the marbe sink-bowl a throw-back to the once wild times when flowing cheesecloth dresses and flower power was the order of the day. But hang on a moment – not everything in this property is a throwback to the past. The finca has an ultra modern solar system with lithium bateries and solar panels. And it has a cisterna that gathers water from the roof of some 6000 liters. And in keeping with the overall vibe, there are steps that lead up onto a roof top terrace with views of the delta. From here you can survery the finca’s 1.7 hectares of mostly cool olive trees, wild pines man and some crazy scrubland. is loated at just 4.5 kms to Camarles and 7 kms to the quaint fishing village Ampolla. So dudes, what are you hanging about for? This is one must-see finca.
