A charming modern detached villa in a fine semi-rural setting in the foothills of a national park, with superb mountain views to the east and north. Whilst "Est" could not, even in the broadest sense, be called a "waterside property", we felt that it was of such calibre as to warrant inclusion.

What's so special about Est? * A 4-bedroomed, 3 bathroomed house within an acre of land offering development potential. * Semi-rural site bordering National Park * Superb views towards nearby mountains * Fully protected from Valencia LRAU (Land grab) laws * Just 30 minutes from Valencia city and airport As well as offering: * A delightful studio (4.3m x 3.8m) on the upper terrace, complete with broadband internet connection. The current owners are professional people, using it as an office-cum-art-studio. * Mid-level terrace overlooks a 9m x 4.5m floodlit pool * Air conditioning * 3 bathrooms (2 en-suite) * 9m salon with Mallorcan-style fireplace * Good international schools within 20 minutes drive * 10 minute drive to shops and local amenities This unique property was built in 1984 and extensively up-dated in 2006. On the Pla de la Torre urbanisation between Betera (10k) and Olocau (6k), Est has a tranquil setting and yet is just 30mins drive away from Valencia or the airport. Several very good international schools, with bus services, are all within 20 to 30 minutes drive. Any number of great beaches can be reached within 30 to 45mins. Riding schools in the nearby Sierra Calderona National Park offer lessons and trekking throughout the year. One of the best golf courses in Valencia is just outside Betera. Est is accessed through double gates with video/speaker onto drive. The entrance hall (vestibulo) with traditional Valencian doors opens into the spacious salon which features a Mallorcan-style chimney fitted with a woodburning stove. Double-glazed sliding doors open onto a well-managed garden with mature trees and a burgeoning orchard. The large dining room adjoins an open-plan kitchen with polished granite work surfaces, stainless steel sink, inset hob, fan-assisted oven and microwave. Dishwasher and washing machine are concealed within the pale oak finished units. All three bathrooms have underfloor heating. In the garden, a crushed marble pathway leads to a gravelled seating area beneath a Schinus "Christmasberry" tree. Water on a timer irrigates the flower beds, a young cypress hedge and fruit trees (apple, cherry, fig, lemon, almond and orange). There is a sunken garden with shrubs and trees and a courtyard, semi-enclosed, shaded by a large Carob tree; perfect for outdoor dining. Steps lead to the elevated pool and terraces. A second set of double gates gives access to the gardens and guest parking.
