Property of the week: a gorgeous family home on the Valencian coast

When it comes to stretches of the Spanish coast to buy a home on, we all know the most famous places: Marbella and the Costa del Sol, The Costa Blanca in Alicante, and of course the Mediterranean islands like Majorca. But if you venture just a little outside these zones, say further up the coast from Alicante to Valencia, you can get much more bang for your buck, and still enjoy all af the pleasures of life in the Spanish sunshine. This week's property, a gorgeous family home in Benicàssim, sits right in the middle of the Valencian coastline. With the international airport in Valencia under an hour away, the property is well connected, and as Benicàssim is a resort town, you won't lack any of the amenities that you are accustomed to. In particular the area is known for its bike tracks through the mountains, and for the sailing out of the Oropesa Marina and its sailing school. 

The property is built in a modern architectural style and is laid out so as to make the most of both the space available and the fantastic natural light that floods in from over the sea. There is a total of 400m2 of floorspace across the three floors, with five bedrooms, and five complete bathrooms, as well as an additional toilet, but the true treasure of the property is the communal spaces to be enjoyed both indoors, and outside around the 2000m2 plot of land that comes with the home. 

The home's covered main terrace is the perfect spot to relax idealista

On the ground floor we can find the main living area of the home, a spacious lounge with elegant sofas and a dining area, and direct access to the even larger terrace that wraps around the corner of the property, with its own seating and dining areas and magnificent sea views. Off to one side we can find two of the home's bedrooms, with en-suite bathrooms, as well as a guest toilet. On the other side of the lounge from the terrace there is the family kitchen for your day to day cooking, stylishly furnished, with an island and a kitchen table. Passing through the kitchen we find a conservatory area, which rivals the terrace as a place to relax, and furthermore, a professional style kitchen, perfect for catering should you find yourself making use of the extensive space in this home to host guests. This space has access to a beautiful patio area on the opposite side of the house from the main terrace, which itself has steps that lead down to the majority of the property's outdoor space below. 

Below the main floor is where the property's stunning deck and outdoor swimming pool are located, elegantly covered for a bit of shade, and adjoined to a large paved terrace area between the pool and the house. Here there is plenty of space to relax and enjoy the sun in the summer, and in winter you can simply pop inside instead to the indoor heated pool on the property's lower level, which also adjoins to a gym. Upstairs we can find the remaining three bedrooms in the property, including the large master suite, which has direct access to its own private rooftop deck which is larger even than the room itself, and boasts the most fabulous views of the whole property. From here you can look out over the sea in the Gulf of Valencia, or simply enjoy the beauty of the landscaped gardens below you. The property also includes a two car garage on the ground floor. 

This magnificent property, practically right above the beach, is an opportunity that is not to be missed. If you want a luxury home on the Mediterranean coast, with tons of space to enjoy, it is hard to do better than this. Currently, this stunning home is for sale on idealista for 1,350,000 euros.
