And now for a slight departure from our usual kind of listings in these parts, the majority of our clients come looking for some typical Spanish features and character when looking for a family villa, so we tend to ignore the modern builds and have probably made the usual comments about them being soulless and sterile, but I guess life is not all about arches, mosaic floors, and high ceilings, there is something for everyone and its nice to see such clean lines and minimalism for a change, i’m also running out of explaining why people seem to have so much junk in their homes, which reminds me, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, and that brings me neatly back to this property. Boom.

Set in the Montealcedo area of Ribarroja (its more La Eliana really) this futuristic 3 storey villa, (built in 2014 so not that futuristic) a whopping 400m2, admittedly some of that is in the basement, (look! that’s where they hide their mess) there is also a sauna and gym room and space for 3 cars, moving on up to the main floor we have a spacious living room, W.C, Kitchen, and bedroom with en suite, all with access and views through huge windows to the terraces that surround the house and the robotic chlorine saltwater infinity pool with illumination…… Don’t ask me, I just write the scripts…..


On the top level , 2 more bedrooms, bathroom and an open plan office space that overlooks the neat and tidy low maintenance garden where you can slink around in a turtle neck sweater and tight slacks and pretend you’re James Bonds nemesis, just don’t forget the sunglasses, you’ll probably need them when you go back inside.
