2 bedroom Country House for sale

The vast majority of international buyers looking for inland properties don´t realise the way the Spanish live. For example, when I moved to Spain 20 years ago it was on a Monday and I went to meet my five Spanish neighbours and no one was in. I repeated this the following three days to no end and then on Friday two cars went past. I soon realised the Spanish generally own at least two properties if not three. They live Monday to Friday in the town usually in an apartment and on Friday afternoon they go to their Country House for the weekend and those who are wealthier have a choice between that and an apartment at the coast. Why not just have one property that suits town and country life? Easy, finding a country property within real walking distance of a town is like looking for rocking horse poo. So, this is the jewel in the crown. Not only is it a five, maximum 10, minute walk to the shops but also to a number of excellent restaurants and bars. This means you don´t necessarily need a car and you can, of course, enjoy as many cold beers or glasses of superb wines without worrying about driving home. Before I move onto the features of the property, I need to tell you something about the owners. They are lovely, they are creative, they have imagination and they are perfectionists. They did their research before reforming this finca and realised that living in Spain means 80% of your life is spent outside and 20% inside other than sleeping time. Pretty much the opposite of your life now? This property is stunning and offers a permanent home or a “lockup and leave” holiday home as Salinas is a town with almost full employment and subsequently is remarkably safe yet it offers the previously mentioned restaurants and bars as well as a Medical Centre, a theatre, a sports arena for children to use, a school, pharmacy, two banks, bakers, two mini-markets etc. The owners have installed solar power so no electricity bills and there is mains water. The plot is fully fenced so safe for pets and small children and it is incredibly manageable. The access is via asphalt roads all the way.I still have not really mentioned the house and I have decided to allow the photos and video to do the work for me and probably far better than I could but I will say the relaxing and entertaining areas are incredible and the design and décor are first class, with a fusion of modern and traditional. It´s gorgeous. A swimming pool can be installed but is restricted to either above-ground or wooden and I have included two or three examples of fabulous wooden pools that can be bought online and an installation package is always offered. There is a large open wooden cabin installed that can easily become a self-contained guest apartment as it is already linked to drainage.Here are six great reasons to live in Salinas, Alicante, Spain: 1.
