Description
This excellent opportunity offers the chance to acquire a property with genuine history and character in the heart of Pego’s old town. Built in 1930 and offering a generous approximately 314 m² of living space, this stately home stands out for its enviable central location, allowing you to enjoy traditional village life with all amenities, shops and the area’s excellent cuisine just steps away. Its solid structure and layout across three floors make it the perfect canvas for those seeking to blend the elegance of traditional Valencian architecture with the utmost contemporary comfort.
The main floor welcomes us through imposing wooden doors, leading into spaces defined by high ceilings with exposed beams and authentic terracotta and mosaic flooring. Its spacious layout includes an impressive entrance hall, period sitting rooms, a large formal dining room with pantry, a distinctive “wine cellar” making use of the space beneath the staircase, a double bedroom and the staff room. The great added value of this level is its connection to a charming private interior patio, an outdoor oasis that floods the adjoining rooms with natural light and ventilation, ideal for creating a chill-out area or summer dining room.
Ascending a grand staircase with wrought-iron railing and painted dado rails, the first floor is dedicated to the sleeping quarters. Here, bright bedrooms feature distinctive hydraulic-tile floors with colourful patterns and classic wooden shutters. The main façade retains its traditional wrought-iron balconies overlooking the picturesque streets of the centre, preserving the property’s aristocratic aura. This floor is completed by a bathroom serving the bedrooms.
At the top of the house is the “cambra”, or attic, a spectacular open-plan space beneath a sloping roof that impeccably displays its impressive rustic wooden beams. This final floor, which still preserves unique historic features such as an old concrete washbasin and the remnants of a darkroom for photographic development, offers unparalleled architectural potential. It is the ideal setting for creating an impressive loft-style master suite, a private art studio or an exclusive entertainment and leisure room.
The property represents an exceptional investment opportunity. Although it requires a comprehensive update of its installations, as the kitchen and bathrooms date from 1977 and the electrical system needs renewing, its excellent structural condition allows for a high-end renovation project. This is a unique opportunity to design a bespoke residence that respects the prestige and soul of 1930 while adapting it to the most demanding standards of today’s lifestyle.
Pego: The authentic and natural heart of the Marina Alta
Located in the north of Alicante province, on the border with Valencia, the historic town of Pego occupies a strategic and privileged position within the Marina Alta region. Nestled in a fertile valley surrounded by the impressive Bernia, Segaria and Gallinera mountain ranges, this town offers a serene, genuine Mediterranean lifestyle deeply connected with nature.
Just ten minutes from the coast, Pego perfectly combines the tranquillity of a traditional setting with proximity to the idyllic fine-sand beaches of Oliva and Les Deveses in Dénia. Its landscape is renowned for being home to the Marjal de Pego-Oliva Natural Park, a wetland of incalculable ecological value, famous for its crystal-clear water springs (ullals), hiking routes and rich biodiversity.
The municipality has a comprehensive infrastructure guaranteeing maximum everyday comfort. Just a few steps from the old town are:
Shopping and dining: Municipal Market, supermarkets, local boutiques and a select variety of traditional cuisine bars and restaurants.
Services and infrastructure: Educational centres, health centre, pharmacies, library and extensive municipal sports facilities.
Connectivity: Quick access to the AP-7 motorway, placing the international airports of Alicante and Valencia less than an hour away, and the cosmopolitan towns of Dénia and Jávea just 15 and 25 minutes away respectively.
Pego is the ideal destination for those seeking the perfect balance between the authenticity of inland Valencia, the mild Mediterranean microclimate and proximity to the main tourist centres of the Costa Blanca.
