Reformed country villa in a a wonderful location with minimal living costs
This is a great opportunity to have low cost living in a peacefull location surrounded by nature. This is anoff grid villa in the heart of the EL Plano national park, Sax Alicante. If you are looking for a quiet life, with minimal living costs, then look no further.
The 90m2 house sits on a large 16,000m2 plot. There is around 3,000m2 fenced in and is beautifully landscaped. There is a great entertaining area to the rear of the house with seating areas and large prefab pool, perfect to spend some time with friends and family. To the front you will find planted areas with fruit trees and veggie plots. On the plot there is also a large caravan perfect for guests, a large ship container for storage and small generator house to back up the solar system. The rest of the plot is made up of around 200 olive trees.
The house itself has been fully reformed to an amazing standard. As you enter the property you will find a lovely open planned living room with American style kitchen. There are also 2 double bedrooms and 2 fully fitted bathrooms on of which is the ensuite to the master bedroom. Also not forgetting the large, covered terrace to the front of the property, perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine.
What about Sax ? I’ve been here 18 years and, although I’ve built up many friends and contacts, you too can soon do this. Both Spanish and ex pats embrace newcomers and offer help in many areas. There are various facebook groups where you will benefit from the experience of others making your new life easy to adapt to.
I say it’s a relatively small place, but Sax has everything that you really need. A selection of supermarkets including Consum that stocks international foods, as well as a fantastic fresh fish counter, vast range of cheeses, vegetables and cured meats, as well as the typical items that you would hope to find in any major supermarket chain.
I didn’t mention meat or bread etc, wherever possible I like to support the smaller local businesses, and you will find some fantastic butcherers, and bakers within the town where you will get a more personal service, and build up a relationship with the owners, staff and clients.
If you are worried about how you will manage with the Spanish health system, then worry no more. Sax has a 24-hour medical centre with English some speaking doctors and nurses, so does the Elda hospital which is only 5 minute drive away from Sax. There is of course an ambulance servcie based within the town. The standard of health care here is excelent.
Transport links don’t come much better than in Sax either. There is a regular bus service heading to one town inland (Villena, that then loops back and passes through several towns on the way back to where it started in Alicante). For less than 5 euros you can travel in a comfortable airconditioned bus to Alicante and be there in less than an hour. We are also just 7km from the high-speed railway station of Santa Eualia (Villena) where you can catch a train to Madrid or Alicante and arrive incredibly quickly. Perfect for a day out in the Spanish capital.
There is also a train station in Sax, but that is for the traditional line that doesn’t go as quick, and has a few stops, but it’s incredibly handy to get you into the centre of Alicante, and again is low cost.
Do you like culture, history, art, theatre ? Sax has no shortage of these either. The town has a theatre, and a newly built auditorium. The Saxonians celebrate their rich culture on many occasions throughout the year, with the pinnacle being 5 days of the Moors and Christians festival in February, something that really needs to be seen to be believed. From the re-enactment of Conquests and Victory celebrations from many years again with blunderbusses and cannons firing in the streets, with all participants in ancient military costume it really is a spectacular event. Then there are the “Cuartalillos” which a group owned buildings owned by revelelers which are filled with food and drinks and offer a base for the days (and nights) of celebrations. There is no greater honour for members to invite guests to eat and drink with them. For sure at some time you will be invited, just don’t make the mistake of offering to pay, as your hosts will be most disappointed. They save all year to have the privilege of inviting people.
Even after 18 years here I don’t know what all the fiestas are, it just becomes a part of life to walk down the street one day and find a few hundred people in costume or doing activities which their great grandparents and relatives before then also did. The carnival is more recent but things like the burial of the Sardines and the day where almost all of the town walks to the mountain to pick a sprig of fresh Rosemary have been done for many years. Suffice to say although you may not know what is quite happening in some of the fiestas, they are always good fun, and nearly always end up
