More information about this property

I think it best to address the 2 Bed 1 Bath situation first as there is already a room to the rear of the Master Bedroom, the one with the dressing room, and work had begun on making that into a large en-suite bathroom to give a 2/2 balance. Additionally, the dressing room is easily big enough to be a nursery for a family with a baby. There is a large garage with a toilet already built and this would make an excellent self-contained Guest House so that visitors have their own space. When you bear in mind that a 2 Bed 2 Bath Finca with land in Sax and a Self-Contained Guest House would be priced around the 300k mark you can easily see the benefits of this property and a pool can easily be added if required as the size of the land allows for plenty more build. However, if a 2 Bed suits you then there is nothing you need to do.The location is quite amazing, it is within walking distance to the town of Sax and a 10 minute walk to the High School if you have adolescent children. The nearest bar/restaurant is 1.3 kms and the nearest supermarket is 1.4 kms. The property does not have neighbours, how cool is that? Yet it is not remote and originally there was a paddock and the garage was a stable so it is perfect for horses. The property is completely walled to separate it from the land and very secure. When you enter the walled area you see the beauty of the property, hidden from the outside, it really is very special with superb outside areas including a fabulous covered exterior lounge and BBQ and a host of decorative features. The area is as low maintenance as it gets but, if you want a swimming pool then one can be easily installed in front or to the rear.A traditional high quality solid wooden door opens to a small but lovely hallway from which you can go left or right into two living areas. To the right is a Dining Room with access via patio doors to the exterior lounge and BBQ area. To the left is another lounge that has which is sufficiently big for another dining area and this has access to the stunning kitchen that has been recently installed and is just so cool. It´s the sort of kitchen my wife dreams about. There is a short hallway that separates the living and sleeping areas which I always think makes a distribution flow better. There are two bedrooms and both will take a double bed but presently the smaller of the two is presented as a single. A modern bathroom separates the two and the Master Bedroom has a large dressing room. The land is beautiful but not fenced. It is mainly flat and has 52 olive trees so every year you will have enough olive oil from your own land to fry your chips in it!! The views are spectacular especially the one of the iconic Sax Castle and at night when the castle is lit it can be breathtaking. If the wind is blowing towards the property there can be some road noise at the rear of the house but very little at the front.Why Sax? There are no traffic lights, it has a 13th-century castle and there are no parking meters or paying car parks. What? That isn´t enough? Sax is so popular because it is far enough inland to be “inland” yet it is only 30 minutes to Alicante Airport and 35 minutes to the beach.  Access is by the A31 Dual Carriageway Alicante to Madrid road which runs just outside of the town, by rail and coach from Alicante so you can go to the beach and not have to take your car, and now we are only five minutes away from the AVE station at Villena. The AVE is the high-speed train from Alicante to Madrid which has only four stops and we are five minutes away from a station where onboarding will have you in Madrid in 2hrs 9mins for as little as 20€. Let us stick with the town of Sax for now rather than escaping to the beach or the capital city of Spain. Sax is dominated by its 13th-century castle known as the Headlight And Guardian Of The Border a landscape of history and rock. When driving back home to Sax after daylight the sight of the castle, fully lit, and seemingly floating in the air is one of the most welcoming sights I have ever experienced. Commercially, Sax was only affected in a minor way by the economic crash as it is the home of three major international businesses selling “persianas y toldos”, window blinds and sun canopies and a shoe industry that means if you recently bought a pair of shoes in Debenhams, for example, the chances are they could have been made in Sax or nearby Elda.  Recently we have seen the opening of a Consum supermarket, the equivalent of a Waitrose or Marks & Spencer Food Hall whilst there has been a Hiperber and Mas y Mas, both excellent supermarkets for as long as I can remember, and if that isn´t enough there is a Carrefour (Think Tesco) eight minutes’ drive away within a shopping mall complex that has two cinemas one of which is showing films in English with Spanish subtitles. Sax is served wonderfully well with schools, our son was eight when we moved here and reluctantly, we put him into a state school, he always went to a private school in Manchester, and within six months he was fluent in two languages and following five years in a secondary school went on to study Pharmacy at Complutense in Madrid one of Spain´s most famous and prestigious universities. For health, Sax and Spain, in general, is far superior to the UK. In the town, we have a brand new Health Centre with eight doctors, two nurses, diabetes clinics and a 24/7 Emergency Walk/In Centre. Ten minutes away in Elda is the remarkable award-winning University Hospital El Virgen De Salud where the surgeons are second to none and the food is atrocious, well it can’t all be good!! Newly opened is the Fibromyalgia centre offering support and therapies for those suffering from acute pain. There are now four Language Schools in the town and the town hall ran a scheme for language swapping that well may be run again. Learning Spanish is a lot less difficult than it may seem and there are new ways of learning that concentrate on Spanish. There are restaurants and bars aplenty with prices that are at first beyond belief and a three or four-course lunch of good quality can easily be found for 10€ or less. For a special occasion, there is Casa Mami and La Torreta which are a little more expensive but great food experiences can be had. Nearby Villena, ten minutes or so up the A31, has some excellent restaurants including the very fashionable Tita´s Gastronimo and my new favourite, Condumio. Ten minutes in the other direction is Elda here you will find the award winning Che Regazzi Italian Restaurant. Coffee and toast for breakfast will cost no more than 2,50€ and the coffee is possibly the best in Europe.
