Chronology

Late 19th-early 20th century

History

As in the case of many other farmhouses in l'Horta de València, it is not easy to find details about their specific history because they have been privately owned buildings with an agricultural and residential use, which have periodically changed hands and which do not usually appear in the more official written sources. Moreover, some of them have kept their name for a long time, even to the most recent present, but others have changed their appellation according to the name, nickname or surname of the owning family. For this reason, only a slow and careful research in the archives sometimes makes it possible to find traces of them in the past. According to M. del Rey (PGOU de València 2013 and catalogue of the General Directorate of Heritage of the Valencian Government), based on its architectural characteristics. the farmhouse was built at the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century. There is no mention of ownership in the reports. It is currently a private house.

Description

It is located in an area of orchards still in production and a completely rural environment. According to M. del Rey (PGOU de València 2013 and catalogue of the General Directorate of Heritage), this farmhouse is almost a model-example of the agricultural houses of that period, with one part used as a dwelling and the rest as an agricultural storehouse, farmyards, etc. It is a compact, rectangular, two-bay, two-storey building measuring 14 metres by 9 metres, with a tiled gable roof. Built of masonry, plastered and painted on the outside, the farmhouse is in very good condition and well maintained. It has been extended with a rear courtyard and additional ground floor buildings to meet farming needs.
