Rural Villa with Classic Valencian Architecture and Gardens

This rural villa features classic Valencian architectural styling. Situated on over 4,700m2 of land made up of well-established gardens, the 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom home covers a built area of 706m2, complete with terraces and courtyards. Close to the services and centre of San Antonio de Benagéber, a small town just west of Valencia, the property exudes the charm and tranquillity of a traditional country home yet simultaneously offers luxury and style. Accessed from one of two entrances, you pass under a classic Spanish gateway to a drive lined with vintage lampposts that leads through the verdant grounds to a spacious open forecourt with parking areas. The elegant covered terrace is large enough for it to be set up as an outdoor dining area, since the property is currently used as a fine dining restaurant. From here, the view is towards green lawns and tall trees, while the interior of the villa is marked by rustic charm and refinement. The pretty country kitchen combines modern facilities with lots of decorative and architectural appeal, including wooden windows and doors, vaulted wooden-beamed ceilings and a separate laundry room connected to the kitchen by a broad archway. The same interplay of plastered walls, hand-glazed tiles and wooden beams adds character and elegance to the living area, which is made up of a sizeable dining room with some steps down to a large and comfortable lounge complete with rustic fireplace. These areas, next to the covered terraces, form the heart of the villa, which also features six spacious bedrooms full of character and five stylish bathrooms. Another typically Mediterranean feature is the enclosed courtyard with a built-in bar and guestrooms, ideal for relaxing and especially entertaining. The property offers a great deal of privacy, with a pretty garden, terraces, swimming pool and also stables, with space to ride.
