Description
Close to some of Malta’s beautiful beaches, one finds this gem of a property on over 2500 square metres of cultivated land. This beautiful farmhouse on the outskirts of Zejtun has unusually large rooms with high ceilings. One enters the property through a charming courtyard with a staircase leading up to a private room that could serve as an office or a study. The main house consists of a large hallway showing the beautiful pool and garden from the front door, a formal dining room, a large sitting room that then leads into a spacious kitchen and dining room. All rooms have access to the beautiful garden and 12 metre swimming pool area making the outside space perfect for entertaining or enjoying the outdoors. The enormous garden is carefully landscaped including not only a variety of vegetables in the kitchen garden, but also numerous fruit trees such as Olive trees (the owners produce their own olive oil), almond, fig, peach and pomegranate to mention just a few. The garden is completely private and tranquil and equipped with a drip irrigation system. Outside one also finds a separate detached room that can be used as a separate flatlet or a workshop/studio. Downstairs in the main house one also finds the main bedroom and en-suite bathroom, and two more bedrooms and a guest bathroom. Upstairs there are a further two bedrooms and bathroom and a terrace with lovely country and sea views. The house is well equipped with two water reservoirs, a registered borehole, solar panels and a solar water heater. It also includes a shelter and a 2 car garage with storage space.

Local Information Zejtun
Żejtun's origins lie in antiquity judging by discoveries in the area of Punic tombs and the remains of a large Roman villa complete with cisterns and olive press.
Olive oil production here probably continued into Arabic times: the village derives its name from the semitic word `żejt' meaning olive. The nearby prehistoric site of Ta' Silġ suggests the area was inhabited even earlier. Żejtun was elevated to town status by the last Grand Master in Malta, Ferdinand de Hompesch, who named it `Citta' Beland' after his mother's lineage. Żejtun, lying near to Marsaxlokk and Marsaskala Bays, was easily open to attack from Barbary Corsairs and the Ottoman Turks. You can still see some fortified houses in the village core.
Żejtun today retains much of historical interest. The Parish Church of St. Catherine (1692), described as `the cathedral of the South', is perhaps the finest work of Maltese architect Lorenzo Gafa'. The Old Parish Church of St. Gregory, dating back to 1592, is a fascinating church. In 1969, a secret passage was discovered in the church walls. Intended perhaps as a safe place for villagers when Żejtun was under attack, these passages revealed the skeletal remains of some 80 or so people.
