Villa till salu i Sax, Alicante

Magnificent 6 bedroom, 2 bathroom Villa with private pool between Sax and Elda

Magnificent 6 bed, 2 bath villa with private pool in Sax, Alicante. This amazing property has been reformed to a high standard and is ready to move straight in.

The outside to the property is fantastic. As you drive up the long, paved driveway you are meet with the main house, large private pool with patio area, BBQ and outside kitchen, bird aviary and storage shed which has a back up water deposit and filter system. The garden is mainly landscaped and has an easy maintenance and is surrounded by mountain views.

The main house has been reformed with first class materials. As you enter off the arced terrace you are meet with a large living/dining area with open fireplace. To your right a fully equipped kitchen and straight in front a long passageway leading to the 6 bedrooms, shower room, toilet, and utility room. The house also has a large attic area which could be used for storage or could be converted into a guest suit, more living space or even a man/woman cave.

The property is located in between Sax and Elda and is a 5-minute drive to both towns. Elda/Petrer is large city around 30 minutes inland from Alicante and is very well connected. There are bus routes, a train station and great access to the A31 Alicante- Madrid motorway.

What about Sax ? I’ve been here 18 years and, although I’ve built up many friends and contacts, you too can soon do this. Both Spanish and ex pats embrace newcomers and offer help in many areas. There are various facebook groups where you will benefit from the experience of others making your new life easy to adapt to.
I say it’s a relatively small place, but Sax has everything that you really need. A selection of supermarkets including Consum that stocks international foods, as well as a fantastic fresh fish counter, vast range of cheeses, vegetables and cured meats, as well as the typical items that you would hope to find in any major supermarket chain.
I didn’t mention meat or bread etc, wherever possible I like to support the smaller local businesses, and you will find some fantastic butcherers, and bakers within the town where you will get a more personal service, and build up a relationship with the owners, staff and clients.

If you are worried about how you will manage with the Spanish health system, then worry no more. Sax has a 24-hour medical centre with English some speaking doctors and nurses, so does the Elda hospital which is only 5 minute drive away from Sax. There is of course an ambulance servcie based within the town. The standard of health care here is excelent.

Transport links don’t come much better than in Sax either. There is a regular bus service heading to one town inland (Villena, that then loops back and passes through several towns on the way back to where it started in Alicante). For less than 5 euros you can travel in a comfortable airconditioned bus to Alicante and be there in less than an hour. We are also just 7km from the high-speed railway station of Santa Eualia (Villena) where you can catch a train to Madrid or Alicante and arrive incredibly quickly. Perfect for a day out in the Spanish capital.

There is also a train station in Sax, but that is for the traditional line that doesn’t go as quick, and has a few stops, but it’s incredibly handy to get you into the centre of Alicante, and again is low cost.
Do you like culture, history, art, theatre ? Sax has no shortage of these either. The town has a theatre, and a newly built auditorium. The Saxonians celebrate their rich culture on many occasions throughout the year, with the pinnacle being 5 days of the Moors and Christians festival in February, something that really needs to be seen to be believed. From the re-enactment of Conquests and Victory celebrations from many years again with blunderbusses and cannons firing in the streets, with all participants in ancient military costume it really is a spectacular event. Then there are the "Cuartalillos” which a group owned buildings owned by revelelers which are filled with food and drinks and offer a base for the days (and nights) of celebrations. There is no greater honour for members to invite guests to eat and drink with them. For sure at some time you will be invited, just don’t make the mistake of offering to pay, as your hosts will be most disappointed. They save all year to have the privilege of inviting people.

Even after 18 years here I don’t know what all the fiestas are, it just becomes a part of life to walk down the street one day and find a few hundred people in costume celebrating !
There are almost 50 bars within the town of Sax, and hundreds in the nearby towns of Elda and Petrer, many serving tapas food, menus of the day which area aimed at providing hearty food to the workers for exceptional prices. 10 euros can buy a 3-course meal in many places, and often include, beer, wine of coffee. From basic restaurants to more classy places, you e everything here.

If you choose to live or invest here you will find that it is an ever-increasingly popular place, apart from the things already mentioned there is a great climate with over 300 days of sunshine per year. This is without the high humidity of the coast, and the inferno type temperatures suffered by the interior of Spain in summer.
With 18 years of experience selling property in this area count on a first-class service and lots of local knowledge. I have helped people with problems and still do even with my first ever clients. Much of my business is done on personal recommendations, and I have many happy clients who would be happy to reassure you about my service, experience and ethics.
