Description
A charming and unique villa with a history spanning more than 350 years.
Purchased by a builder back in 1978 the property was originally built from a barn/farmhouse retaining the exterior solid and thick walls. Over the years the property has been sympathetically reformed in keeping with the character to include the main kitchen, two bathrooms, flooring on the ground floor, windows, interior stairway and the double glazing of the naya terrace and doors to create an additional relaxation room with a gym/fitness area.
Only steps away from the Mediterranean sea and a stroll away from an abundance of restaurants including the 3 Michelin Starred Quique Dacosta voted the Best Restaurant in Europe and one of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. For cyclists there is a cycling lane that runs along the entire Carretera should you wish to cycle into Denia or for those who are more energic it is a 30 minute walk.
The property is very private, fenced with high walls and although in a residential area isolated from the road noise.
Whilst a much loved family home for the discerning buyer looking for a rental investment the villa has both an external and internal staircase allowing the property to be used as two separate dwellings since Denia is becoming more and more in demand for high investment yield opportunities.
For golf lovers you have the renowned Oliva Nova Beach and Golf Resort a 15-minute drive away or the 5-star Hotel Dénia La Sella Golf Resort & Spa only a 20-minute drive.
