Full Description
JARAGUA (much more than a beach villa) Nestled high on the silver cape mountain, like a bridge connecting two peaks, this imposing villa, awarded for its architectural excellence, creates a perfect link between nature and modern design.
Jaragua was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's 1937 masterpiece FALLING WATER, one of the most prestigious and well-known houses of the 20th century, which has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Its similarity comes from the characteristic geometric lines they share and their integration into the landscape, creating a refuge that is as unique as it is emblematic.
Facing west and jutting out from the mountainside, JARAGUA enjoys sensational panoramic views and sunsets on a thousand and one evenings. The house dominates the rocky landscape from above and enjoys total privacy, while also being protected from the strong, hot Levante winds.
The land surrounding the property is challenging due to its steep slope. Once you enter the plot, the climb to the house is via a long staircase that crosses several terraces and garden areas that blend into their surroundings, as the materials used by the architect of JARAGUA sought to maintain the original character of the plot.
As we climb up to the house, we come across detours from the access staircase that lead to hidden corners, that allow us to enjoy the views or invite us to rest in the shade of a tree.
The plot measures more than 2,000 m².
Just in front of the house and before reaching the main entrance is the swimming pool nestled between rocks. The outdoor shower seems to emerge from the rock and there is a relaxation area with sun loungers from where you can hear the sound of the sea. Behind it is the door that leads to the semi-basement floor, where there is a spacious bedroom and a small bathroom. Another door gives access to the wine cellar and also, via a designer staircase, to the next level and ground floor of the house.
The property has 3 large bedrooms with stunning sea views, 2 full bathrooms, 1 toilet, a separate kitchen and a bright living-dining room with panoramic views. It also has a laundry room and several terraces that are part of what reminds us most of ‘FALLING WATER’. Across „the bridge“ we reach a terrace with an outdoor kitchen, a natural cave and a viewpoint overlooking the sea. The entire building blends harmoniously into the rocky formations of the mountain where it is nestled, creating a unique and privileged hideaway. The style of the house is a careful combination of minimalist lines, modern design and natural elements. Every corner has been designed to offer a unique, exclusive and unrepeatable living experience, designed for those who value art and architecture. The house plays with natural light through lattices, windows and the geometry of its structure, creating changing atmospheres throughout the day. A true masterpiece aimed at those who are looking for more than just a home, an architectural icon in the best location on the Cadiz coast.
