Appartement à vendre

Description

Located in the centre of one of Andalucia's most treasured and ancient white villages – Medina Sidonia – Property development not to be found elsewhere, looking to attract a more sophisticated buyer who may have fallen in love with the peninsula's rustic charm, but has yet to find the perfect, turnkey, luxury escape.

Arranged over three floors, the development covers an area of approximately 9000 sq ft, with the conversion resulting in four luxuriously fitted out apartments and a townhouse. Each has access to a roof terrace and pool with stunning views of the nearby coastline. Anyone visiting the Palacete will realise that the conversion has been a labour of love, with exquisite detailing throughout and many original features restored to their 19th century splendour. Fascinating discoveries have been made during the two year restoration, including the uncovering of a 16th century alcove at the back of the property – an area that is built onto the old Roman town wall – which had to be officially validated by local archaeologists. It was suggested by the archaeological team that the zone of the house was once the old entrance into the city over 500 years ago.
Each property has been designed to create its own individual character and, as such, each has its own unique name and identity – Musa (which is Spanish for muse) for example, has been designed in a soft, feminine style, whilst Toro (Spanish for bull) has a distinctive, modern feel. All have been fitted with the highest level specification, including Jacob Delafon sanitary ware, Grohe taps, showers and massage baths, Logos kitchens with fully integrated appliances, under floor heating, hot and cold air conditioning and centralised music systems, with quality right down to the last detail of the light fittings. The overall idea being that buyers can enjoy the best of Andalusian traditions, with all the modern creature comforts you would expect from a luxury property.

Medina Sidonia, known as the oldest town in Europe, sits 300m above sea level with stunning 360 degree views over lush green countryside and the bay of Cadiz, is located in the middle of the province – Andalucia's most traditional and undeveloped area, which was the centre of world trade and commerce during Spain's colonial zenith. Jerez is the home of flamenco and the famous Spanish dancing horses, as well as part of the oldest winegrowing region in Spain. The Costa de la Luz also boasts the highest number of blue flag beaches of any province of equivalent size in Europe. The province remains relatively unknown within Britain as Spaniards have tended to keep the area's charms a secret for their own well-heeled and discerning clientele. Increasingly, however, the province is becoming popular with the rich and famous in Britain looking for a secret escape. Jude Law, Damien Hirst, Paul Weller and Matt Dawson are some of the frequent second home owners and frequent visitors taken by the area's rustic charm.
Arriving in the sunniest part of Europe (officially over 300 days of sunshine a year) could not be easier. The province has four international airports on its doorstep – Jerez, Gibraltar, Seville and Malaga – located 20 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes and two hours respectively from Medina Sidonia. So for those discerning lovers of the real Spain who are looking for easy weekend escapes and summer breaks, Cadiz province, and Palacete Thebussem, offers the ideal home from home or year-round lifestyle opportunity
