Stunning
designer villa in superb location near beach |
VM006
A magnificent contemporary villa of stunning individual design - the
work of Menorca's pre-eminent architect. This property is in an ideal
location for the discerning family wishing to holiday within a
popular beach resort.
Built over three
floors, this very spacious, luxury 5/6 bedroom (all with ensuites),
seven-bathroom property boasts an impressive range of facilities,
including interior designed rooms, high quality furniture and soft
furnishings throughout. There are two large swimming pools: one 'adult'
pool with automatic safety cover, and another child pool, both 13m long,
various exterior and interior water features, a range of fitness
equipment, full climate-controlled air conditioning/heating system
throughout the villa, a glass-walled lift serving all three floors, and
outstanding sea views from most rooms and exterior terraces.
The villa offers an
enormous 450sq m of living accommodation on a spacious plot of nearly
1600sq m, and is located on the fringe of the coastal resort town of
Punta Prima, on Menorca's beautiful south coast. Its elevated position
on the approach road from Sant Lluis, overlooking the resort, provides
the views down to the sea from the upper terraces. The villa's
accommodation is arranged over three levels; the lower basement level
houses the 2/3-car underground garage, the services, plant and equipment
room, an enclosed open-air drying area and a general storage room.
The ground floor
street level is where the main entrance door is located, in a quiet side
road. There are steps down and a ramp for wheelchair users. On entering
the villa, one passes over a small bridge which crosses an interior
water feature flowing into an outside shallow pool, enclosed by a walled
courtyard. The entrance hall is spacious, light and airy thanks to the
upper glass walls.
Ahead is the vary
spacious L-shaped living and dining area, both well appointed with
furniture and soft furnishings of high quality, as are all rooms
throughout. The living room is equipped with a large flat screen TV with
access to the English language free-to-view satellite and Spanish
terrestrial channels, plus surround-sound music system. Both rooms have
floor-to-ceiling double-glazed sliding doors, opening to the upper
terrace level, which offer excellent sea views.
To the left of the
entrance area is the large, ultra-modern luxury kitchen, furnished with
an extensive range of top quality base and wall units and integral
appliances, including fridge/freezer, electric oven and hob, extractor,
washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker and all the other
equipment, utensils, crockery and cutlery necessary for guests
A corridor to the
right of the entrance bridge leads to the three 'junior' suites on the
left and, at the end of the corridor, a fourth suite comprising double
sofa-bed, kitchenette and ensuite bathroom. This room, if required, can
be closed off from the rest of the villa, and with its independent
entrance door to the side elevation of the villa, can be converted into
a completely self-contained annexe apartment - ideal for grandparents
who wish their own space, nanny, cook or housekeeping staff. Of the
other three bedrooms, two of them are quipped with two single beds each.
The other bedroom has two singles whose mattresses and bases can be
zipped and secured together to convert into a king-size bed. All
bedrooms have ample fitted wardrobes, luxury ensuite bath or shower room
with WC, washbasin and bidet, plus floor to ceiling sliding doors to the
extensive three-tiered terraces and sea views.
To the right of the
ground floor corridors are two open-air courtyards, ideal places for
guests seeking a little peace and solitude away from the rest of the
crowd.
Back in the entrance
area are the glass-walled lift and staircase, both providing access to
the basement level and the two master suites on the upper level. Also in
this area there is a shower room/toilet which can be accessed directly
from the pool terrace, enabling guests to use this facility without
having to go into one of the bedrooms or through the living area of the
villa.
On the upper level
just outside the lift is an open-plan reception area. Beyond this are
the two large master suites. To the left, a bedroom of approximately
5x7m, incorporating a large range of built-in wardrobes, king-size bed,
plasma TV, and a large ensuite bathroom with bath, WC, washbasin and
bidet. Sliding doors to the front provide views to the sea and to a very
spacious terrace. A set of stairs to the side of this terrace leads down
to the pool terraces.
To the right of the
reception area is the largest of the suites, comprising a spacious
bedroom with king-size bed, plasma screen TV and, like the other
upper-level suites, sliding floor-to-ceiling doors providing the same
views and access to the large terrace. This principal suite boasts a
large bath situated next to a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the
terrace. The stunning bathroom also has a large walk-in 'grasite' tiled
shower, WC, washbasin and bidet.
The class and quality
of the interior accommodation is matched by the beautifully designed
exterior areas. The terraces consist of three levels; the upper level
outside the living room, dining rooms and all four ground level
bedrooms, with a long ornamental pool - a wall-mounted fountain from
which pours water into another ornamental water feature - and, next to
this, a long constructed 'planta', planted out with attractive and
colourful shrubs. There are side stairs, one with a ramp (for wheelchair
access) leading down to the middle terrace where the main 'adult' pool
is found… this will please guests who appreciate a real lap-pool for
serious swimming. This pool is 13m long with a five-step entrance at one
end, with depth ranging from 1.4m to 2m.
A further set of steps
leads down to the lower terrace level… here is the children's pool,
again measuring 13m long, but with a constant depth of just 0.75m.
To the right of the
pool terrace is large covered outside dining terrace with teak table and
chairs, and a large BBQ, food preparation area and sink. Around the
borders of the plot, the garden areas have been designed and landscaped
in the Mediterranean style, with a variety of colourful and fragrant
plants, shrubs, and screening trees in front of the traditional drystone
walls that divide the villa from the one neighbouring property to its
front elevation.
This exceptional villa
will delight its discerning guests seeking a relaxing holiday with its
definite touches of luxury and refinement. Monday change-over.
