Recently, one renting farmhouses has become one of the more popular options for staying on Malta. These renovated properties are a popular getaway option as they’re typically in idyllic settings and have many modern comforts due to careful renovations. As such, these properties are a great place to hang out with family or friends for a relaxing time off work.
But why not buy one instead? These homes are full of character and are perfect for enjoying for longer periods of time, rather than just as a short-term rental. Here’s why you might want to buy property in Malta.
Enjoy the luxury
Unlike what you might expect, these old farmhouses are actually completely renovated properties. Once used for rearing animals, they’re converted into stunning modern properties that retain a lot of the charm and character (on the outside) of these original buildings. Inside, it’s a wholly different story, with many a farmhouse in Malta offering modern, stylish interiors. Better still, these farmhouses are known for being spacious, with high ceilings, offering light and ambience galore.
On top of that, many of them have large swimming pools for enjoying a dip. Back in the day these were water reservoirs that were filled up by windmills and used for either crops or rearing animals. These days, windmills are prohibited due to the diminishing water table; unless a permit is obtained.
Find peace in nature
Another reason to buy a Maltese farmhouse is because of the location. These farmhouses are built in the countryside, typically in the interior of Malta. However, they’re not isolated, and are typically located near a convenient town or village. This means that it’s possible to access local amenities, while still getting away from the hustle and bustle of town life. Typically, you can enjoy unobstructed views of the local countryside from your house, and enjoy the more tranquil environment this affords you.
These houses all have the old-school Maltese design too, built around a single courtyard.
Change-up your lifestyle
Being in Malta means you get to enjoy a more Mediterranean lifestyle. Not only is there plenty of culture to enjoy, but a great climate too. With a warm climate almost all year round, you can expect an average of 300 days of sun each year. As such, winters are noticeably mild, a great incentive for anyone who loves the warmth.
For summer time, you can spend the days at one of many sandy beaches. Or enjoy some of the more adventurous water-based activities such as diving, paragliding or kayaking. In the evenings, there is a vibrant nightlife packed with clubs and world-class restaurants. There is the option to simply dine al fresco (outside), while enjoying the local countryside.
The island boasts a lot of history too. There are many historic forts, churches and palaces throughout the island. Valletta is easily accessible wherever you are in the island and the Grand Harbour is always a must-see. All of this is accompanied by a friendly, English-speaking community, fun traditions and really delicious food. For better rest and relaxation, this is a prime spot.
Smart investing
For the more business-minded, purchasing a farmhouse in Malta is simply, clever investing. Located in the centre of the Mediterranean, Malta is easily accessible via direct flights from the majority of Europe. It’s already a popular holiday destination and there is constant demand for short and long-stay rentals in the area. As such, you can get in on this if you purchase a property yourself. Not only that, unlike other European countries, Malta has a high-performing, consistent real estate market.
In short, there’s already a lot of demand for farmhouses on Malta. They’re excellent as a second-home option for longer summer getaways. Or, they can be rented out when not in use to the realms of tourists heading to the island.
