Stunning new style country villa with pool in a wonderful location.Sax - (Map Location)

Description

This fabulous villa was built with full permissions 20 years ago by a reputable constructor. Built on a  12000m2 plot in the Sax countryside. It is incredibly private, not overlooked and has panoramic views. 3000m2 of the plot is securely fenced, and has been completely landscaped, and split into different zones. There are many exotic tree providing shade, and many newly planted palm trees and indigenous vegetation.

An electric gate provides access, and there is an attractive stamped concrete drive leading to the garage and car port.
To the right of the driveway there is the most incredible barbecue setup. It consists of two quality wooden gazebos, one being a seating area, and the other being an American style outside kitchen. There are lots of work surfaces, stainless steel storage units, integrated fridge, large stainless gas powered griddle.
We then have the pool area, which again is attractive stamped concrete of a different design to the drive, a gorgeous large pool (10 x5 )with stone effect crown, and roman steps. There is a vast amount of terrace, and the views from here are spectacular.
The house itself has an enormous veranda, this without doubt is the place where the owners spend most of their time, as it overlooks the impressive pool and garden, has mountain views, and provides shade from the summer sun.
The owners have recently fitted the whole veranda with glass curtains to make the place just as useable in wintertime as summer. Obviously its colder then, but with the lower sun the veranda is illuminated and warmed even on the coldest of days. They have created a small gymnasium, and dining area. However you can choose to use it to your own requirements.
From the veranda the house may be entered via the main wooden front door, however large quality patio doors also lead into the lounge.
The lounge itself is beautifully present, it has just been tastefully decorated. There is a log burner in the corner, and the size easily accommodates the owner´s large settees, offering ample space for the family and guests to relax.
The lounge is open plan with the modern fitted kitchen, there is a large island with lots of storage, and prepared as a breakfast bar.
Within the lounge there is a powerful air conditioning unit that provides both warmth and cooling for the property.
The patio doors allow the mountain views to be appreciated from within the house.
An wide hallway is the reception room from the main door and provides access to the three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The main bedroom has its own aircon, and has an attractive en suite bathroom with wet room.
There are then two more generous sized double bedrooms and a communal bathroom which again is well presented and has a wet room.
The house is of modern design, and has been built with energy efficiency in mind. It is also raised above the ground with a cavity beneath, avoiding the possibility of any damp.
Close to the house we have a large garage (36m2), large enough to be a guest annex. This is prepared for the washing machine, and also has the hot water boiler.
We also have a couple of garden sheds for storage. The front of the plot has a wall built, whilst the rest of the 3000m2 is fenced and has mature conifers providing privacy.
There is additional land beyond the fence which is unplanted, and is flat. This could be used for all sorts of ideas. The current owners considered putting a couple of mobile homes there.
As you would expect we have mains water, electricity and stable internet.
The property is stunning so I recommend that you view before the opportunity slips away.

What about Sax ? I’ve been here 20 years and, although I’ve built up many friends and contacts, you too can soon do this. It’s a relatively small town so local people soon start recognising you and 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.

Most famous for its castle, but also the birthplace of Alberto Sols a famous chemist, successful sports persons, authors, musicians, and the incredible Moros and Christians festival which celebrates their patron saint…. the beloved San Blas.

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 service based within the town. The standard of health care here is excellent.

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 revellers which ae 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 20 years here I don’t know what all of 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 or doing activities which their great grandparents and relatives before then also did. The carnival is more recent but things like the burial of the Sardines and the day where almost all of the town walks to the mountain to pick a sprig of fresh Rosemary have been done for many years. Suffice to say although you may not know what is quite happening in some of the fiestas, they are always good fun, and nearly always end up with some alcohol consumption !

Speaking of which there are almost 50 bars within the town, 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. If you ask for wine and they put a bottle on the table…don’t feel you need to drink it all. Wine here is cheap, and they are happy for you to drink however much you want and charge accordingly. From basic restaurants to more classy places, you have 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 20 years of experience selling property in this area you are in good hands.
