Villa for sale in L'Ampolla, Tarragona

Villa Los Sueños truly exudes a verdant perfection that is palpable the second the automatic gates open and you drive onto the grounds. The first thing you notice are the manicured lawns. Two cypress trees form a portal that beckons you towards the house. There is a light filled conservatory with automatic blinds that give you panoramic views of the gardens and the blue of the pool which is located in a magnificent terrace of 200 m2 of Ulldecona stone; there are grand old palm trees that give shade so you can have that coffee and croissant at pool side while you contemplate the intricacies of your palm and think of signing up for a hand-reading course.

Stepping into the house proper, there is that airy, open plan conservatory and then an open plan lounge area with American kitchen and a cute pantry that leads out onto a covered breakfast area to the rear. In the living area, you have a high-energy and elegantly modern wood stove plus central heating for the colder days of January. There is also an alcove with a study area featuring an antique writing desk.

Moving under the archway, you find the main, ground floor bedroom, a large newly refurbished bathroom and then a huge 18m2 storage area that could be become another bedroom or games room or perhaps even just continue as a storage room. There is in fact another bedroom tucked into the other end of the open plan living area which makes two, ground floor bedrooms.

The master bedroom is located on the second floor via a gentle ascent, and this is a spacious bedroom with a very large, recently redone, bathroom ensuite, built-in wardrobe and a wonderful terrace with an inbuilt sun-lounge, automatic sun canopy and exceptional views of the coast. It is indeed magical to wake up in the morning and look out on the new day and all the promise it may hold.

And the property has undergone a significant technical upgrade. There are 10 X 500 watt solar panels and a 5kw inverter plus 4 3.6kw lithium batteries so the net result is the current owners sell electricity back to the electricity grid. There is also a new and powerful A/C unit installed in the lounge plus an ultra low consumption water heater and also a new limescale purification filter system.

The grounds and the gardens are magnificent and one very useful concept is the almacen/garage of 44m2 that provides parking for two vehicles and a separate storage area. There is also a fully fenced vegetable garden patch with a watering system and a chicken coup. Water is provided via a communal well and while the property caters for its own electrical needs, there is a mains electricity supply in case of emergency.

This is truly a unique, once off country house on 3000m2 of grounds with views of the Catalan coastline and just 2 kms from L’Ampolla. All in all, it’s definitely worth a visit if you are looking for something special.
