Hola and welcome to La Zanahoria. May I say how good you're looking today.  That top you're wearing is gorgeous, so becoming.  Ah, but let me not waste your precious time with idle chit chat, please let me introduce you to La Zanahoria: a spacious dwelling designed by the late, great, Spanish designer, Juan Der Fool during his senile period. This spacious, faux Spanish folly has much to offer the discerning, worthy buyer.  Come, let me show you around:



The side elevation shows the proprotions of the house and offers parking for  large vehicle by the side of a soothing fountain, whilst the path leads you lusciously around to...



The rear elevation.  I'll let you linger for a moment to imagine yourselves lazing by the pool or relaxing in the shaded area if it should get too warm, before leading you right around to...



The other side elevation, where there is the beginnings of a small vegetable garden and specialised fruit orchard. The side door provides easy access to the kitchen area and the unsightly but necessary rubbish bin is hidden by a trellis.  Let's go back to the path and round to the front...



Another parking space and another fountain and, from here, you get a superb view of Juan Der Fool's folly, the inaccessible topmost floor of this fabulous house.



Let's go inside now, underneath the beautifuly scented pergola that frames the front entrance.



Yes, it does take your breath away. This is a wonderfully, light and airy hallway, looking up it's as if you can see for miles.  Come stand with me on the messanine landing and just gaze.  Did you notice the tiles?  Juan Der Fool believed that licking them would help to improve one's night vision, hence the name of the house. I see your raised eyebrow. It is said that many an eyebrow was raised during his final years.  So sad.. but come, let me show you the floor plan and you will see that this fine architect was worthy of his name.



The uppper floor. This fine floor, where you are standing, has room for a fusball table, should you so desire, and doors leading off to a shower room, the master bedroom with its ensuite and a computerised study area with integral balcony. Perfect for viewing the stars and painting the moon, whatever the weather.



The lower floor. The triple aspect main living area runs the length of the house and has direct access to the swimming pool and rear garden. There's also a door into your personal gymnasium, with its own little shower room. And, as you can see, there's a large kitchen diner and, just off the kitchen area, access to the butler's bedsit with its ensuite bathroom.  Let's go back downstairs now.



The living area. Do you play chess? Or do you prefer to imagine fixing yourself a drink and relaxing whilst watching the impressive high definition television?  Come walk with me, under the covered veranda area, and into the kitchen/diner.



Sit down here, on the comfortable chairs, at the table. I have a contract for your perusal and a pen.  There's the dotted line...
