Villasmaría 4-bedroom luxury detached villa with pool and garage, San Miguel de Salinas 395,000 € 370,000 €

A superior Villasmaría 4-bedroom, luxury villa with integral garage, private swimming pool, jacuzzi (with pergola) and a master bedroom that has recently been extended to include a dressing area, with fantastic views towards the salt lake and Mediterranean.. Independent kitchen, conservatory, beautifully-landscaped gardens and central heating. Mint condition throughout, having been lovingly cared-for since it was acquired by the current owners over ten years ago.  The property is located on 3 levels (each connected by an internal marble stairway); garage and large storage room at street level, ground floor with lounge, independent kitchen, 2 double bedrooms, family bathroom (with both a bath and separate shower cubicle) and conservatory, and first (upper) floor with master bedroom (recently extended to provide additional space), family bathroom and large fourth bedroom with semi-separate lounge area.  In addition there are two outdoor seating areas (terraces) both open and covered, accessed via the conservatory and the lounge respectively.  Every corner of the 505 m2 plot has something different to offer, whether you are going for a splash in the pool, a chillout in the jacuzzi, a wander through the beautiful gardens with established tropical plants or hoping to spend some time polishing your sports car on the drive (not included!)

Villasmaría is an exclusive residential area of 118 luxury villas constructed in 2000-2002, located on the edge of the Sierra Escalona protected pine forest, and just a couple of kilometres from the town centre of San Miguel itself.  The closest watering holes are Phoenix Nights bar-restaurant, Pimientos restaurant and Alingui restaurant (located in the mock castle that is the closest you will get to the Alhambra without having to visit Granada!)  The area is popular with golfers, cyclists, holidaymakers and all-year-round residents, but Villasmaría itself is a tranquil place, where you can enjoy the beauty of nature (you can walk for miles in the unspoilt pine forest with amazing views, and the area is a haven for wildlife).  When you fancy a trip to the coast, there are plenty of beaches to choose from, but one of the closest is Mil Palmeras which is only a 15 minute drive via a country road through gorgeous scenery and between Campoamor and Las Colinas golf courses.  Mil Palmeras beach is one of our favourite places, with plenty of great restaurants, and has recently been listed as amongst the 10 best beaches in the whole of Spain by a national newspaper!

This fantastic home is just one of many apartments, townhouses and villas offered for sale by Villas Fox, having been appointed directly by the current owners.

San Miguel de Salinas

San Miguel de Salinas is a very popular Spanish town just 15 minutes drive from the beaches of Mil Palmeras, Campoamor, Cabo Roig, La Zenia, Torrevieja, La Mata, Guardamar etc and surrounded by beautiful countryside which includes citrus and almond groves and the national park of Sierra Escalona right on our doorstep. You can walk and cycle for miles along the canal which runs right next to the town.

There´s a great variety of bars and restaurants, both Spanish and international (almost 30 in the town centre alone, which means the annual tapas run event is very popular!!). If you´re looking for a holiday destination or a place to live all year round, San Miguel is a great choice as it has all amenities (primary and secondary schools with excellent reputations, banks, health centre which never closes, 3 pharmacies, large outdoor swimming pool, football and athletics stadium, 5-a-side football pitch, tennis courts, padel courts, basketball courts, petanca, crown green bowls etc) and a healthy mix of Spanish and foreign neighbours.

The pace of life is gentle and relaxing, and prices in the bars tend to be more reasonable than the coast (a glass of good red wine from the barrel will set you back just 50 centimos in some of the bars). The weekly Wednesday street market is a great opportunity to stock up on locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables, hams, cheeses, olives, clothes and shoes etc, before having a drink and tapas in one of our friendly tavernas!

There is a good local taxi service and buses run several times daily to Torrevieja, Orihuela and Murcia. Alicante and Murcia airport are both approx 40 mins drive away. San Miguel is a place where you can enjoy a taste of traditional Spanish life and culture, without foregoing the benefits of top-class facilities and amenities. It´s a friendly place too, which we think you´ll love!
