Full Description
Welcome to a truly rare opportunity — a beautifully presented, traditional Spanish townhouse set in the heart of San Sempere, officially the smallest village in the whole of Valencia. Nestled within the municipality of La Granja de la Costera, and just south of the historic town of Xàtiva, this charming home lies within a hamlet that often counts its residents on one hand. San Sempere is more than just a locality; it's a retreat from the noise and pace of modern life, a quiet corner surrounded by olive groves, stone walls, and timeless rural beauty.
This delightful home was built in 1900 and rests just beside a protected natural park area that encompasses the Bellús reservoir. Whether you’re passionate about hiking, birdwatching, fishing, painting, or simply wish to unwind surrounded by nature, San Sempere offers an unrivalled sense of peace and seclusion. It’s ideal for anyone seeking an off-grid lifestyle, a private holiday hideaway, or an artist’s tranquil haven. Yet, despite the serenity, the vibrant town of Xàtiva is only ten minutes away, offering everything from shopping and dining to healthcare and culture. Valencia and Alicante airports are both easily reachable, making access surprisingly simple for such a hidden gem.
Step through the solid, original hardwood front door from the village’s charming stone-paved road into a bright and spacious lounge area that flows naturally into an open-plan dining space, where a staircase leads to the first floor. At the rear of the ground floor is a well-equipped kitchen with ample storage and work surfaces, followed by a handy utility area housing the fridge freezer and washing machine, all unified by warm, rustic-style floor tiles.
French doors open out onto a private rear patio — a wonderful spot for al fresco dining and evening gatherings. There's a practical outdoor storage shed and direct rear access to a parking area, through a secure gate. A gas boiler mounted discreetly on the patio provides hot water to the home.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing offers built-in storage and new parquet flooring that adds both warmth and elegance. This level features three good sized bedrooms, a large and modern bathroom with a walk-in shower, and plenty of natural light throughout. From the rear bedroom, step onto the upper terrace, covered by a solid roof to offer welcome shade during summer afternoons, and enjoy panoramic countryside views that stretch across the surrounding farmland and hills.
This property is one of a kind — a lovingly maintained and upgraded home that retains its traditional soul while offering modern comforts including a new roof, rewired electrics, and updated plumbing. Whether you're searching for a full-time country home or an enchanting weekend escape, this home in San Sempere could be exactly what you’ve been dreaming of.
