6 Bed Country House for sale
Sax, Alicante, Valencia, Spain
Full Description
This is quite amazing and needs probably more than one sheet of A4 just to list the features but one important point is the location which is excellent as you can walk into the town of Sax in 20-25 minutes but it must be noted it is built next to the old road between Sax and Elda which is fairly quiet as most traffic uses the Autovia but there is traffic noise. The property is walled from the road, and extra noise protection can be added with a row of conifer trees, which is an inexpensive and lovely solution. Our country property is in a similar position, and we found that after a couple of weeks, we no longer noticed it. For anyone with health concerns, the property is equidistant from Elda University Hospital and the new Sax Medical Centre and Walk-In.
I know the property well as it was on my books four years ago as pretty much a shell that needed a hug amount of work to bring it back to its former glory and the owner has spent the last four years doing just that and his work, in my opinion, is of a very high quality. There are a few areas that need some attention to complete the reform but due to injury, the owner has not been able to finish them, and this is reflected in the price.
Remote-controlled security gates give you vehicular access to the rear of the property where there is ample parking space for a good number of cars. Of course, you can add a carport if required. Access is via a tarmac road until the last 100 metres and the property is situated on a no-thru road with only three neighbours, two of whom are Spanish and one is Dutch but the property has complete privacy and is not overlooked.
The owner has three dogs and he has areas sectioned to keep them separately if necessary. The entrance to the Studio apartment is here and the main entrance to the House is on the other side, and a pathway around the house takes you there from which you can see most part of the 8,000m2 of land.
A covered terrace allows access to the House and a separate door leads into the 2 Bed Apartment.
Opening the door to the house takes you to a massive covered terrace with lots of windows that can be opened in the warmer weather to allow the mountain breeze to flow through and in the two or three colder months there is a pellet fire and I imagine that this would be the space that is used the most as it really is amazing. The two bedrooms have windows that open up to the covered terrace as well.
In winter, the sun comes up at around 9:00 am to 9:30, and the covered terrace, which really is more of a conservatory, warms up so beautifully. In summer, it is such a wonderful area to sit and relax, and it is more like a massive external lounge/diner in those months.
From here you enter a room that would be perfect as an office, and from here you can enter the beautifully reformed bathroom and access the stairs to the upper level and also enter the hallway where to the right is the kitchen/diner, again beautifully done, mixing traditional and modern styles. The two generous double bedrooms are on the left of the hallway.
By taking the stairs to the upper level, you reach a small landing area which has a door the the very private third bedroom and another door that takes you out to the incredible terrace that wraps itself around two-thirds of the property. It is breathtaking, as are the views from here across the land to the mountains and you can look down to the newly tiled swimming pool, approximately 8 x 4, with a new pump and filter hidden away in the pool room.
So, let us go back to the smaller covered terrace and enter the 2 Bed apartment. Once again, this has been thoughtfully styled and is immediately comfy and welcoming. There are two good-sized bedrooms and a generous kitchen that is superbly fitted out. The bathroom is brand new, naturally and has high-quality fittings. If I were a Guest and given this apartment to stay in, I wouldn´t want to leave to be honest. This is a stunningly solid property with thick walls, meaning there is very little, or even no chance of disturbance from the House and the Apartment.
So, onto the Studio Apartment, which is, once again, just beautiful and so thoughtfully designed. It is perfect for guests to have their own self-contained private space, or for a very fortunate teenager, perhaps to give them privacy and for the parents to get some peace!!
The land is in two parts and is fertile but needs ploughing and the separate area behind the wall to the rear is very green but also very overgrown but it´s your land and you can grow anything on it or perhaps you want to keep horses.
