Beautifully presented townhouse with 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in La Carroja with magnificent views of the Vall de Gallinera. This stunning example of a townhouse is divided over several floors and consists of a large, barrel-vaulted basement, a family bathroom with a large bathtub, a dining and living room, a fully equipped “winter kitchen”, 2 double bedrooms both with en suite bathrooms, a “summer kitchen” with comfortable seating area and finally a sunny roof terrace with magnificent mountain views. One enters from the street, opposite the church, through lockable double iron gates to a porch where there is a log storage room for the wood-burner “chimenea”. There is a cold water tap and also an electrical outlet. Here you will find the original tall double doors with a small, recessed door to let you in. In the past, this floor would have been used for farm machinery and possibly animals. It is now living and dining area (3rd floor) and is very cool in the summer heat. In cooler times, a 10kW wood-burning stove and electric underfloor heating keep you warm. The property has a 300mb fiber optic internet connection and fixed telephone line. There is double glazing throughout the house. Walk up four flights of stairs to our fully equipped “winter kitchen” (floor 4) where there are hand-built wooden cabinets with granite countertops and a wall-mounted plate shelf. There is a chest of drawers made from a single piece of English elm! There is a gas stove with four hobs, a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer and everything is included in the sale. There is also electric underfloor heating here. Return to the living room and go down through double glazed doors with stained glass to the lower ground floor (2nd floor). This room lends itself to many possibilities. Outside of this is a bathroom with a full-form bathtub. There is an electric radiator, also here there is underfloor heating. Four steps down (floor 1), through what has been described as a typical Moorish arch, lies the barrel-vaulted cellar. Although the deeds are dated to 1934, the vault suggests that the house originated in a much earlier time. The basement floor is tiled and there is lighting and power. A 75-liter hot water boiler is plugged in here for the bathtub and half the house. Return to the living room and ascend the stairs to a stair ledge (5th floor) where there are plenty of built-in cupboard spaces. At either end there is a double bedroom with a private bathroom. Both bedrooms have double doors to Juliet balconies outside and have built-in wardrobe spaces. From the stair ledge you will reach the top floor (6th floor). There is a well-equipped “summer kitchen” full of light. In an original cabinet there is an additional 75-liter hot water boiler for the second half of the house. There is a comfortable seating area with double doors leading out to a terrace with the most spectacular, uninterrupted views! An irrigation system is on site. A futon or similar sofa would allow you to sleep with one or two guests or children for a shorter period of time. The current owners chose this particular layout, but it would be easy to change things up and create a third en-suite bedroom on this floor. This is a special, cozy house, probably the only one of its kind in the valley. La Carroja is located about 350 meters above sea level. It is one of eight villages that make up the valley with about six hundred inhabitants. After leaving Adsubia, the narrow entrance to the valley opens as it begins to follow the Gallinera River for about 14 kilometers. It is guarded at both ends by the Islamic castle of Lord Al Azrak. Nothing prepares you in advance for the magnificent scenery, the quality of light or the vibrancy of the Valencian community here. The valley is known for its early cherries and hosts a cherry festival in June each year. Farmers also grow olives, oranges and lemons, almonds, figs and other fruits. Many people come here for the clean air, the nice walks and other outdoor activities. If you like to dip your feet in the Mediterranean from time to time, you can easily make it to any number of pristine beaches in about thirty-five minutes and return home to this hidden gem at the end of the day. The beautiful pool in the valley is 300 meters from our house and from mid-June to early September, Josep and his team prepare tapas, salads, Fideua and various Paellas at lunchtime. Other places where you can eat very well are a high-end tapas restaurant in Benirrama, one that specializes in cooking its own local lamb meat over wood in Benitaia, as well as many others that serve traditional Valencian cuisine. There are two excellent village shops, one above and one below us, less than five minutes away, where you can buy olive oil and honey, locally baked bread and fresh vegetables as well as practically everything else one needs in daily life. In the town of Pego, which is twenty minutes away, there are a number of supermarkets, including an Aldi and a Mercadona. We have excellent medical facilities here with a doctor and nurse on site five days a week. Pego has a wellness centre with 24-hour service. 5 Real Estate is Spain's fastest growing full-service, fixed-fee international real estate agency, with numerous offices on the northern and southern Costa Blanca as well as in the Murcia region.
