The perfectly maintained, and beautifully decorated Villa, built in 2008, is ideally set just a short drive from all amenities like shops, golf courses, beaches, airport, etc. Set behind a magnificent stone wall and entered via large electric entrance gates one is greeted by a peace and serenity of beautifully landscaped gardens of nearly 7500m2 and with long sweeping coble stone driveways befitting of a Manor House.

The property has an attractive mix of ceramic tiling in the bathrooms and the kitchen and a dark solid wooden floor in all other rooms and corridors adding to the country feel. The first floor has a covered terrace with wood burning stove and views over the countryside plus 2 bedrooms, both en-suite and with fitted wardrobes. The basement, which is accessed from the entrance hall, has a laundry room, plenty of storage space and a double electric door garage. The villa offers central heating and cooling, domestic solar hot water, double glazing, aluminium shutters, a central vacuum system, and an alarm. The villa is set on the highest spot of the property, surrounded by mature olive and carob trees and because of the slightly sloping land there are open country views and distant ocean views.
