Full Description
What a stunning property. This is just perfect whether it be for a holiday home as it is used now or as a permanent home as it was some years ago.
Tranquility, beauty and privacy are the three words that spring to mind but there are many more like breathtaking views and amazing low-maintenance gardens.
We should begin with the access which is by tarmac road from Sax or from Salinas. For those of you who like to have a stroll and a drink perhaps, it is a 16-minute stroll to the nearest bar/restaurant which just happens to be La Rana, one of the very best restaurants around specialising in rice dishes.
The gate opens to a short driveway with loads of naturally shaded parking spaces and it is hard not to be a tad overwhelmed by the splendour of the tree to the right-hand side not that the left-hand side is any less lovely.
Walking around the property is it a series of well-kept garden areas along with a very private swimming pool area with terracing and more naturally shaded areas and sunny areas which is to the left-hand side of the property. Walking around to the rear there are five outbuildings, a small garden shed, a bigger tool shed, a compost area, a covered small area and then a storeroom. The entire property is 100% legal so there is an opportunity to remove these outbuildings and install a wooden cabin for guests.
At the front of the property, we have a quite lovely terrace with a pergola and extraordinary views of the mountains. From here you enter the conservatory and this is where you would live pretty much, it´s gorgeous and is built to adapt to the weather with windows all around that can be opened up to allow the mountain breeze to come through or closed in winter to trap the sunshine, it is more like a lounge/diner than a conservatory but, moving onwards we enter the open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen which has a fully fitted kitchen at one end and a cosy feature log fire at the other with plenty of space to relax in.
The living and sleeping areas are separated by a small hallway. There are two equal sized double bedrooms that are full of natural light and a modern family bathroom with a fabulous shower unit.
What we have is:-
· A very tranquil location within walking distance of the town (15 minutes and not an Estate Agent´s 15 minutes)
· Amazing privacy
· Beautiful gardens (A local gardener currently looks after the property for 100€ per month) that are low maintenance
· Walk-in condition, just bring your suitcases and that is it
· Wonderful swimming pool area
· Safe environment
