Welcome to Casa Serafina, a wonderful 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom villa set in the countryside on a large plot of 1,840m2, just a 7-minute drive to the city of Gandia with all amenities and 12 minutes’ drive to Gandia’s beautiful golden, sandy beaches.

Built in 1965, this grand villa of 344m2 of construction oozes Spanish charm with a contemporary feeling throughout the property. The current owners have made this their loving holiday home for the last 24 years and are now downsizing and giving someone a great opportunity to buy a large villa with so much space, privacy and comfort. 

Casa Serafina is situated on a double sized plot giving so much space with open mountain views and no very close neighbours. The plot is mainly flat and has many different areas for sun or shade. Most of the garden has been landscaped with artificial grass for low maintenance; however, there is plenty of space for a vegetable garden or fruit orchard if required. At the centre of the plot, by the swimming pool is a magnificent palm tree which gives that tropical feeling to the garden, and it is lit up with fairy lights in the evening giving a lovely atmosphere to the pool area.

The swimming pool is a kidney shaped pool, which equates to approximately 44m2. It has a full filtration and pump system for easy maintenance and cleaning. There is plenty of space around the pool for many sun loungers. The owners have also added a chill-out Ibizan style pergola where you can get a bit of shade whilst watching all your family in the pool or enjoying the gardens.

As you come through the automatic gate there is a beautiful imprinted concrete drive. There is plenty of space to park many cars on this drive along with some beautiful flower beds to the left adding a touch of nature to the back of the property.  

You enter the property via a huge circular front Naia which gives you an overview of the entire plot plus the incredible mountain views. There is plenty of space here for al fresco dining and some handy automatic electric blinds which cover 3m to give a perfect amount of shade whilst dining during the hot summer months.

Through the large patio doors takes you straight into the huge lounge 16.03m x 6.82m. There are not many properties out there that have a lounge this size! In the corner of the lounge sits the wood burner surrounded by a beautiful original stone fireplace for those cosy winter nights. The lounge is very light, bright and airy with the large patio doors and windows letting in so much natural daylight.  Just off the lounge is the fully fitted kitchen in a contemporary style and fantastic centre island with breakfast bar. Modern appliances have been installed along with an additional handy drinks’ fridge.

At the back of the kitchen sits the utility room with an electric boiler and washing machine. Continue down this inner hallway and you arrive at the first bedroom (on the ground floor with no steps) having its own en-suite too, so ideal for anyone with a mobility problem. There is a large patio door in this bedroom giving lots of natural light and that summer feeling of waking up and heading out to the pool for a morning swim.

Back through to the lounge and up the wonderful stone clad, grand, curving staircase, which is located within the stone turret, this takes you to the large first floor landing which is currently being used as a home office/library/reading and relaxing area taking in the stunning mountain views that surround you. This is by far the perfect place for your morning coffee to get all energized before you start work in the office area.

Off the landing takes you to the second bedroom which has access to a lovely terrace and has great views of the mountains!

Back into the inner hallway there are a further 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The Master bedroom has access to its own terrace and a bank of mirrored wardrobes and boasts a good sized en-suite bathroom too with bath tub and walk in shower. All the bedrooms have wardrobes (most have fitted wardrobes), they also benefit from hot & cold air-conditioning units (Mitsubishi brand) and ceiling fans! This is a very comfortable house to be in whether you are here in the summer or the winter.

On the roof there is a sophisticated solar system which consists of 16 solar panels. This sophisticated solar system will help bring your electricity bills down to 0 each month and also bear in mind that your heating/cooling systems are all electric so this villa could be very cheap to run and live in permanently with very low costs!

Casa Serafina benefits from mains electricity, water, septic tank for sewage, satellite internet, low maintenance garden, Southwest facing villa, wood store, many different terraces, outside BBQ, double glazed windows with mosquito blinds & persianas (black out blinds), a storage room/garage area which would be suitable for motorbikes.
