Advanced searchThis unique villa is a real family home, but can also be used as a rental object. Located on a flat plot in the well-known urbanisation Montemar in Benissa. Centrally between Calpe and Moraira. The house was completely rebuilt in 2008 and thoroughly renovated in 2021. The "castle tower" with battlements makes this villa different from the typical Montemar houses, just like the small chapel which is still completely intact. The first owners of the house had this chapel built for their daughter who was a nun. She slept in a separate building near the chapel. This bedroom now serves as a storage room.
The entrance to the villa is in the tower. On this level is the spacious master bedroom with walk-in closet and spacious en-suite bathroom. A spiral staircase with authentic tiles leads to the upper floor. Here is the living area. The living is divided into a sitting area, dining area, TV area and a work area. Through the glass sliding doors, you step directly onto the spacious terrace from where you have an open view over the valley. This terrace is in direct connection with the fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Inside, there is a compact fully fitted modern kitchen and a second spacious bedroom that uses the bathroom at the end of the hallway. Beyond the driveway is a studio currently serving as an art studio with modern bath and kitchen facilities. All bedrooms have a separate lockable entrance. This makes the property very suitable for rental purposes.
The villa has many extras including: central heating, air conditioning (hot / cold), electric gate, double glazing, fiberglass internet, mosquito nets, electric persianas and security lights with sensor.
The in 2021 re-tiled pool offers coolness on hot days or after a visit to the sauna which is located further in the garden. Next to the pool terrace is an outdoor bar with the possibility of a TV connection. The garden is mature and low maintenance.
