Description
|
My beautiful south facing Villa/Countryhouse has a superb quiet location with stunning mountain views, and an ambience of peace and tranquillity. If you want to live close to nature but with easy access to a nearby traditional Spanish village, this is the house for you. It is easily accessed via a driveway from a quiet country road, 3 minutes, 2.5 Km drive to the village of Tarbena.
It was built for me in 2010/11 to high modern specifications, including effective insulation. Although relatively new it has many traditional features and is set in a large forested garden.
To be sitting on the covered terrace at the front of the house is a truly wonderful and peaceful experience. You look over the garden to the pine forest, agricultural land and mountains.
Three steps lead down from the terrace to an established pretty garden with many mature plants and a pond with a tinkling fountain, which in springtime is accompanied by the song of nightingales. It is pure magic. A covered pergola to the side of the house ensures shade is available at all times of the day. A level gravelled area provides ample parking space for several cars.
The main entrance to the house is by original old doors which were sourced from a former bar in a neighbouring village. Entry is directly into the open plan ground floor comprising a reception/dining room, a well-equipped open-plan kitchen and a cozy lounge with a large woodburner and a ceiling fan. There is also a separate utility room with exit to the side terrace, washing machine, fridge-freezer and a traditional Spanish porcelain laundry sink. Adjacent to this room is a cloakroom with toilet, wash basin and understairs cupboard.
Tiled stairs lead up to the first floor, which has a large master bedroom with 2 double wardrobes and access to the balcony. On waking up each morning the view is of the sun shining on the distant mountains, including Aitana, the highest mountain in Valencia. There is a spacious family bathroom with bath, separate shower, wash basin, toilet and bidet. The second bedroom is exceptionally large, currently incorporating my art studio and a second bedroom. This space could easily be converted into two good-sized bedrooms cnverting the house to a 3 bedroom house. Both the master bedroom and the studio / second bedroom open on to the balcony at the front of the house, which is the perfect place to watch the sunset and look for shooting stars on the summer nights. There is also a window to the back/road side of the property. There is a small garden shed to the side of the car parking space.
The village of Tarbena has an excellent shop,a friendly plaza with a church and a bar restaurant where you can sit and relax with a drink, chatting or just people watching. There are several other bar-restaurants in the village and surrounding countryside. The village also has two swimming pools which open in the summer months: a large public swimming pool and a smaller pool at a local bar both with fantastic mountain views. There is also a medical centre, a pharmacist, and Town Hall.
Living here has been paradise, but now I am going back to the UK after 13 very good years in Tarbena.
