Finca/Country House for sale in El Perelló, Tarragona

Hamlin Lodge is a place for sophisticated country living, with a glorious pool perched in cool blue elegance over the meandering Catalan coastline far below. We have a grand 10 x 5m pool with its charming walk-in stairwell that simply compels the soul to immerse itself in its cold or warm embrace, depending on the time of year. And while soaking the body in the morning is the order of the day, when one emerges from its blue depths, there is so much more to enjoy about this special property. We have the all-encompassing sun terrace around the azuline wonder with ample deck-chairs lying nonchalantly around. Behind the pool terrace, you have a sun-kissed alcove specially designed for toasting the body a nice, deep brown and when you are finished toasting the body, there is a covered, fully equipped bespoke barbecue area beside the enclosed porch for dining al fresco with French windows and mosquito frames to keep pesky insects at bay. So, fire up the barbecue, get the cool Chardonnay ready and lunch is on the way. But we must move on because there is much, much more…
A few steps lead you onto an incredible 80m2 terrace that feels like a helicopter pad, with views aplenty of the delta and the Mediterranean, a canvas of gentle coastal inspiration. Next up is the conservatory, 25m2 of light-filled space devoted to the idea of fun, board games, chill out with a good book or possibly, after a glass or three of wine, a good singalong. Yeah, it’s hard not to get the feel-good factor in this villa.
And now for the main course, the house itself. Comprised of 99m2 of open-plan chic, with a wonderfully tall ceiling and a lounge made for lounging around after a hard day on the beach, a kitchen that says "come cook something fabulous”, and two really good sized bedrooms and an ample bathroom. After descending an elegant, external stairwell, you’ll find an independent guest apartment of 40m2, with its own bedroom, lounge, and a kitchen, or in other words, complete independence.
But now to that important question for all country properties. What about storage? This property comes with an enormous 65m2 almacen (storage area), a large 35m2 garage for a car or two and a dedicated 8m2 boiler room for heating the house on cold December days. And it must be pointed out that around the villa is a landscaped paradise designed specifically to be beautiful but low maintenance. Better still, you only have 5000m2 of land to look after, enough to create complete privacy without requiring overwhelming toil. Last but not least: the property is connected to the mains electricity and has two cisterns with a capacity of 40,000 l each, as well as a diesel central heating system for the winter.
To summarize. This finca stands out from the crowd because it has such a well thought out layout, unique architectural style and privileged location with sea views. It has been restored as a principal residence, with no expense spared in execution, with an open-plan interior prioritizing light and space plus that elegant Mediterranean garden; and the host of additional attractive lifestyle features such as the guest apartment, bespoke barbecue area, al fresco dining area, and huge pool. Plus it’s only 5kms from Ampolla, that quaint village where seafood dreams become reality. For €485,000, this might just be the best value finca in all of Catalunya.
Worth a visit.
