Located in a quiet rural area close to Benissa town and the beaches, this south-facing finca-style villa for sale is set over two floors and enjoys open views across the valley and vineyards. The property is accessed via a long, narrow driveway leading to gates that open onto a parking area with a carport for two vehicles. A large feature wooden door opens onto the front terrace.
The front terrace features a summer kitchen with built in barbeque, sink and cupboards for bar fridge and gas bottles. There is a pergola with solar panel roofing, and seating area with plenty of space for outdoor dining where you can enjoy views across the open valley and vineyards.
Inside, the villa retains plenty of rustic charm and traditional Spanish features. Wooden sliding doors lead into an enclosed, wooden-beamed naya, currently used as a dining room and office. This space features a stone brick fireplace with wood-burning stove built into the wall, along with hot and cold air conditioning. Large wooden double doors open into the traditional kitchen, which includes built-in shelving and decorative windows. A central marble-topped island offers ample preparation space and incorporates a five-burner gas hob, large extractor fan and built-in oven. The kitchen is fully equipped with a fitted dishwasher and fridge-freezer and offers generous storage with wooden base units and built in shelving.
To the left of the kitchen is a small guest toilet with traditional tiling and hand basin, along with useful storage space beneath the staircase. Adjacent to the kitchen is the generously sized lounge, fitted with a pellet burner for winter warmth and additional hot and cold air conditioning for year round comfort. Windows with wooden shutters and rejas add to the traditional character of the room.
The staircase leads to the upper floor, where a small, beamed bedroom off the hallway is currently used as a dressing room and storage space with freestanding wardrobes. There is a bright double bedroom with sloped beamed ceilings and a window overlooking the valley, along with a spacious master bedroom that looks out over the rear garden. The en-suite bathroom includes a full-size bath, corner shower, freestanding basin and built-in shelving. Both double bedrooms are fitted with hot and cold air conditioning. A family bathroom with shower, basin, toilet and built-in shelving completes this level.
The villa is fitted with gas central heating throughout, although it is not currently used by the owners. Despite single glazing, the property remains warm and comfortable in winter and pleasantly cool during the summer months. Spanish-style floor tiles and whitewashed walls run throughout, enhancing the traditional feel of the home, whilst solar panels provide energy efficiency.
Outside, pathways lead to the large side and rear gardens, which are planted with mature trees, shrubs and established garden beds. There is sufficient space, (subject to the relevant permissions), to install an above-ground swimming pool. A removable garden shed is currently used as a utility area alongside a sauna, and there is an additional storage shed at the rear. With a mix of sunny and shaded areas, the outdoor spaces are well suited to al fresco dining and entertaining. Auto-irrigation allows the gardens to be kept relatively low maintenance, while still offering scope for keen gardeners.
Set on a good size plot, the villa provides privacy and offers a peaceful rural lifestyle whilst still being close to amenities and the coast. Benissa town is just a three-minute drive or six-minute cycle away and can also be reached on foot in approximately twenty-five minutes. This finca-style villa is brimming with opportunity to use as a permanent or holiday home or rental potential.
