The location? Wow, five minutes from the town of Sax and a little more to Elda it is just off the Sax to Elda Road and is so tranquil, yet it is not remote and has neighbours, as previously mentioned. I have refrained from "walking distance to town" because it’s probably a 30-minute walk, almost but in the two or three hot months, I would be taking the car with the A/C on.
There is the Main House, the Garage and Storeroom, the Summer Kitchen and the Guest House (self-contained) and the land/gardens and I´m going to try to talk and walk you through it but the photos and video will probably be your best guide.
1. The Main House – 4 Bedrooms, all doubles, all well-sized and a family bathroom. The L-shaped large lounge/diner is fabulous with a feature log burning fireplace and you can play about with the lounging TV area and the dining area to your heart´s content. The kitchen is much more modern than expected, it is also bigger than I thought it would be, with lovely units, it´s a bright and airy space and there is a log fire. A small passage leads to a walk-in pantry and then an exterior door out to a side terrace where the owners usually take their breakfast as the sun rises opposite.
The distribution is very well thought out and the way I like it with the kitchen separated from the lounge/diner and the bedrooms and bathroom separated by another passageway.
The covered terrace at the entrance is spacious and beautifully done with awesome views across the land to the left and across the swimming pool and raised terrace to the front. Lots of space for a big dining table and seating.
2. The Guest House – In the photos and video you can see there are two doors, one is to the separate bathroom with utility space for a washing machine etc and the other leads you into a spacious lounge/diner/bedroom. Currently, there are two sofa beds but there is easily enough space for a full-sized double bed.
There is a stunning wood-burning fireplace and cast-iron oven, think of fresh bread or pizza and an archway that takes you through to a galley kitchen and walk-in pantry.
Opposite the entrance is another smaller metal door which, when open, you can see the storage space for the pump and filter for the swimming pool and even more space for strong stuff. A little patio area with a table and chairs offers outside dining.
3. The Summer Kitchen – In inland Spain, many areas have bans on open BBQs during the hottest months, so the Spanish would make use of outbuildings to install a BBQ oven and perhaps a small dining area and a washbasin. I think they are magical and this one has all I have mentioned. Just outside is a walkway with natural shade and a loose cover with a charming seating area and table for alfresco dining and staying cool but there are other outside dining areas.
4. The Garage – A large garage that is currently being used to store all the stuff I asked to be removed from the property, they haven´t had time to sift through, it is really a one-car garage and a small workshop but just outside is a 3-car carport. I love that this area is at the rear of the property and there is absolutely no sign of it until you drive around the far side of the main house.
5. The land. Just over 2,000m2 and very easy to maintain, although gardeners are available and work inexpensively if you are not green-fingered. The land is separated into different parts all done very neatly and there are various fruit trees as well as olives and almonds.
The views from the land, every single part of it are superb with mountain ranges to the front and the rear and 100% privacy.
