4 bedroom Country House For Sale:..

THE NEW RESIDENCE

It is often said that, however stunning the photographs of a truly exceptional property may be, they seldom, if ever, do that property justice. This is a classic example of such a situation for, although we are able to illustrate this feature with a superb selection of photos of the main residence and although they go a long way to demonstrate the thought, care and, above all, luxurious quality which have resulted in a fabulous home, it needs a detailed inspection for these attributes to be fully understood and appreciated.

Completed relatively recently, the design and construction of the residence take full advantage of its fabulous position, providing quite breathtaking views over the estate and surrounding protected countryside. Peace and quiet are here in abundance, yet this is the hub of a dynamic working estate, already producing a satisfying income from its olive trees, almond trees and vines and ready, in the hands of its next equally visionary owner, to deliver so much more as a result of taking advantage of the many opportunities which it offers.

The residence provides some 360 m² or 3875 square feet of superbly proportioned, single storey accommodation. There are Winter and large Summer lounges, each having a working open fireplace, separate dining room and large kitchen. This is extensively fitted with high quality hardwood units and a range of built in appliances, including oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer.

The separate utility has a further range of fitted furniture providing ample storage facilities and includes a sink, washing machine and two fridges.

In addition to the large principal bedroom, the master suite incorporates a dressing room and en suite bathroom fitted with bath, separate shower, wash basin, bidet and WC. The three further bedrooms are served by the well appointed family bathroom.

The residence has full central heating and air conditioning and the benefit of a 24 hour security alarm system. It is surrounded by perimeter fencing and accessed via an in and out driveway.

The fully landscaped walled garden extends to about half an acre and includes the floodlit swimming pool, being 11m x 5m (36 ft x 16ft). There is a barbecue with chimney and an outside changing room and shower room.

This exceptionally fine and superbly located home is ready to move into and includes the high quality furniture and furnishings.

THE ORIGINAL FINCA

The original finca comprises three large buildings which incorporate many of their original features, including a bodega. There are two possibilities for the development of the finca, being three separate houses or combining the buildings into a boutique hotel, with 24 bedrooms. Preliminary drawings for the hotel project have been produced and are available on request.

With all the wonderful country facilities on and adjoining the estate, including the hunting possibilities, endless cycle trails and walking, rock climbing and camping, combined with the easy access to the coast, and the city and international airport of Alicante, this seems to be the ideal location for such a niche hotel.

THE LARGE HOUSE PROJECT

A detailed development project to convert an existing building has also been prepared. This is sited on protected land and has the benefit of fantastic views. With the possibility of building up to 530 m² (5705 sq ft) of luxurious accommodation, this presents a highly unusual and sought after opportunity.

THE BUILDING PLOTS

Elsewhere on the estate, there is the possibility of further development on a private and protected area of some 500,000 m² or 123 acres. It is considered that four or more houses might be built here. No plans or drawings have been prepared for such a project as yet.

CULTIVATION

As has been previously stated, a large part of the estate is under cultivation, with 20,000 olive tress, 20,000 almond trees and 4000 grape vines together producing significant annual crops and a worthwhile income. All the trees and vines are registered as ecological.

There is plenty of scope for further tree planting on the estate, with a view to increasing the commercial possibilities and yields from the land.

ADJOINING LAND

A further 1500 acres which once formed part of the estate has been adopted by the local authority for preservation and this protection, coupled with the fact that it is land locked by the estate, means that it cannot be built on. This is predominantly pine forest and a mountainous area.

LOCAL FACILITIES

The village of Salinas is situated some five minutes drive from the property. This quiet Spanish village is, not surprisingly, bounded by olive and almond groves, grape vines and mountains.

There is a good selection of local amenities in the village, including shops, a small supermarket, three banks, tapas bars and some excellent restaurants.

CONCLUSION

This property is, indeed, a rarity. It is quite remarkable to find an estate which already provides so much and yet still has so much more to offer. Even more extraordinary is to find it just 40 minutes drive from Alicante, one of Southern Spain’s most delightful cities, from Alicante International Airport and from all the many attractions of the coastal area, including golf courses, marinas and a whole host of other amenities for adults and children alike.

Through their vision and determination, the present owners have already achieved a major transformation and now, with considerable reluctance, are moving on. A discerning purchaser with similar vision has the opportunity to take full advantage of the substantial investment which has already been made and the many possibilities waiting to be converted into reality, whilst enjoying a wonderful country home.
