Description
A historic stone house, about 200 years old, located in the heart of the pastoral village of Lifta, by the western entrance of Jerusalem, north of Highway 1. In 2017 Israel declared Lifta as a national nature reserve. This spacious house offers 8 rooms and outdoor wide-open spaces on a lot of about 1,000 sq.m, which is immersed in green nature, with its colorful spring and the whiteness of almonds in the winter. This property is a combination of spectacular nature, fascinating history, and a great solution for those who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Jerusalem. This property can be used for both residential or studio/office use. Amenities and Features: Built size: ± 300 sq.m.

Located about 15 minutes by foot from Jerusalem. Some recognize Lifta as the biblical town of Mei Naftoach. Most of the houses in Lifta were built during the Ottoman Era. Archeological findings suggest that it was first inhabited almost 4,000 years ago. The highlight of the area is the magical Lifta spring, one of the largest in the Jerusalem mountains, with its natural picturesque swimming pool. At this time, Lifta’s future is an Israel Land Administration’s issue, including plans for the construction of a luxury neighborhood on the village's ruins, which will include residential villas, a hotel, and a shopping mall, while preserving the authentic-historical atmosphere and nature.
