This extraordinary country home would make an unbeatable summer residence or an equally outstanding year-round family home. Offering extensive, beautifully appointed accommodation, a swimming pool, fabulous gardens and exquisite period features, this one ticks all the boxes for those seeking sunshine with style.
Renovated in 2001, the current owners of this 230-year-old country home have clearly cherished it; behind its warm ochre stone walls, it retains the timeless feel of a traditional Mediterranean farmstead, with exquisite period features, such as original wooden beams, slanted ceilings and exposed stone walls, skilfully blended into a vibrant contemporary interior.
Currently run as a hotel, it would also make a wonderful family home. At 1,600 m2 spanning three levels and a separate annex, there’s space for several generations to enjoy without diplomatic incident. The main house encompasses nine welcoming en-suite bedrooms, two WCs, three generous reception rooms, a contemporary industrial-style kitchen and a dining room/restaurant, plus various storage rooms. Particularly appealing are the old winery, now a living room with lofty ceilings, warmed by a wood-burning stove, and the tranquil ground-floor terrace/solarium with soothing garden views.
Outside, the 7,800 m2 professionally landscaped gardens are immediately impressive. Adjacent to the house is a large (6 x 12 m) swimming pool, featuring decorative tilework and a generous poolside area shaded by a belt of mature pine.
A free-standing annex boasts the property’s master bedroom, along with a mezzanine and roof terrace accessed by an open pinewood staircase, and two cosy reception rooms, one currently used as a library.
This extraordinary country home stands in a charming village setting, just 50 km from Alicante and with easy access to the motorway, which will take you to Alicante’s famous beaches in just 30 minutes. Valencia, Murcia and Albacete are all close enough for day trips, while the nearest high-speed train station is just 15 minutes away.
