Villa for Sale in Desert Springs Golf Resort, Almería - 1,000,000 Euros
Residencia, 18 Sweetwater Island Drive 4/5 Bedroom Country House – off plan purchase.
Located overlooking the 16th fairway with stunning far reaching views of the Championship Indiana golf course and mountain ranges beyond, the luxurious Residencia Country Home has a great feel of tradition and importance that stems from its massive but simple form.
The windows consist of a mix of ovals, rectangles and squares with a variety of traditional moulded surrounds. Special care has been taken to achieve the satisfying appearance of traditional wooden framed, small paned windows even though they are actually double glazed, high performance units specified for low maintenance and good security.
The interior design achieves a sensation of both space and light, with the living room largely open to the dining area and hall. This spacious design lends itself to a choice of traditional or contemporary interiors. The living and dining rooms lead, without steps, out onto the deep and shady veranda. The visual and physical division between inside and out blurs into insignificance, taking best advantage of the year round climate and lifestyle that positively encourages dining and relaxing outside even in the depths of winter. In the kitchen you will find individually designed and handmade fitted furniture, fitted out with top of the range equipment.
The bedrooms follow a distinct hierarchy, with the master bedroom naturally being the largest, with an elevated private terrace and direct access to the garden and pool for an early morning/late night dip. The separate dressing, bath and lavatory areas provide privacy and ease of use.
The smallest bedroom, with its own en-suite shower is on the same floor as the master bedroom, so that it can be used as an extra dressing room, a child’s nursery, or even as a personal carer’s room. The second and third bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath or shower room, are on the ground floor, located so as to be slightly separate for guest use and to have direct but secure access to the garden and pool. All bathrooms are beautifully tiled to your choice and have luxury fittings.
Finally, a study or occasional fifth bedroom is located separately from the rest of the house, with access from the garden terrace, so as to provide privacy and avoid disturbance.
The Residencia’s large floor plan creates a real opportunity to realise your lifestyle; especially in the enormous full size basement. It has a wealth of naturally cool space, just crying out to be fitted with some special personal treats.
Optional extras that can be added here include: home cinemas, billiard rooms, bodegas and bars, sauna and Jacuzzi suites; in one home the underground garage has also been fitted out to provide a private gym.
