country house for sale Benissa, Marina Alta

About this property

This impressive and truly unique country villa is located in a peaceful rural area, just 2 km from the charming town of Benissa and only a 10minute drive from the beaches and vibrant town of Calpe. Despite its tranquil countryside setting, the property benefits from excellent access via a fully tarmacked road. A detached country villa in a peaceful rural setting, offering the space and privacy of the countryside without the characteristics of a traditional finca. Built in 2008, the property is southwest facing and enjoys spectacular views of the Bernia mountains, along with a pleasant glimpse of the sea. It offers a serene and private retreat, ideal for a large family or those seeking generous living space in a natural environment. The villa was constructed by its only owners with a highly practical and thoughtful design. It was originally created for a married couple and their parents, which explains its unique layout featuring two fully equipped kitchens and two separate living and dining areas. Although the property is a single connected home, it is intelligently divided into two wings, allowing each family to enjoy their own private space while remaining under the same roof. This makes it particularly well suited for extended families who wish to live together while maintaining independence and privacy. A grand covered entrance leads through a rustic wooden door into a spacious and welcoming hallway with an impressive staircase as its focal point. On the ground floor, the right wing comprises a guest toilet, a large lounge and dining area with a feature log burner, and a spacious fully fitted kitchen with direct access to the pool terrace and outdoor entertaining areas. On the left wing, there is a second generous lounge and dining area with a woodburning stove, a guest toilet, and a further fully fitted kitchen with access to the garden, reinforcing the flexible and independent yet connected layout of the home. The first floor is divided by the central staircase. To the right, there are two double bedrooms, both with ensuite shower rooms, as well as an additional room currently used as an office. To the left, there are a further two double bedrooms, each also benefiting from their own ensuite shower rooms. A further staircase leads to the top floor, where the master suite is located.
