Villa for sale in L'Ampolla, Tarragona

Within the house of the watch-maker, there is a hand-crafted hourglass clock that counts time in a very precise way, each tick reflecting comfort and ease, each tock a reminder that the outside space of this property is fabulous.

The house is constructed in the style of the 80s, well built with the balcony on the second floor leading from the main bedroom. This is a classic feature of building from this era. What is surprising is the pleasant, open-plan design downstairs, where the kitchen has been opened up into the lounge area.

There is a standard wood stove connected to a labyrinth of metal boxes that fan up the walls. Why? To retain the heat of the stove throughout the night so that the following morning, when you come down for breakfast, the space is still nice and toasty.

To the bare facts, there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and then there is the piece de resistance: the Rolex watch of the property.

The pool and lounge areas, complete with pergola, are beautifully designed to maximize fun in the sun, dining al fresco, reading a book, or just chilling and looking up at a cloud or two that may be flitting across the blue sky.

There is a huge garage space and workshop of 55 m², a communal well for unlimited water, a powerful solar system to provide electricity with mains as back-up, air-conditioning throughout the residence, and the property is set on 5,712 m² of fenced gardens and olive groves. While it is a rural residence, there is the comfort of neighbors not too far away if you need to borrow an onion!

And all of this is located in a relaxed, rustic idyll, only 7 kilometers from the quaint village of l’Ampolla, famous for its restaurants and paella.

The house of the watch-maker is well worth a visit if you have a second or two to spare.
