A superb designer villa located in the exclusive Ses Costes residential estate, enjoying far reaching, southerly views over the bay of Aiguablava and beyond along the Costa Brava coastline.

This unique architectural gem was featured in The New York Times in September 2009.

The villa is constructed on a hillside plot in a tranquil, residential area just 3km from the beautiful medieval town of Begur and only 3.5km from Aiguablava beach. The views from the property are amongst the best in the entire Costa Brava and the house has been cleverly designed to ensure that these are fully maximised from all the main living areas and terraces.

The architecture is an attractive mix of glass, polished concrete and rich woods and the finest quality materials have been used throughout. The property was completed in summer 2008.

The house is constructed on a plot of 850m2 and boasts 242m2 of living space built across three levels. The distribution is as follows:

Entrance level: Entrance hall; guest WC; wardrobe; fully fitted modern kitchen with Bosch applicances and induction hob; larder; open plan living/dining room with double height ceiling and access to a large covered terrace for al fresco dining (with stairs leading to the swimming pool); double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and dressing room area

Lower ground floor: Separate apartment comprising a living room area, bathroom and double bedroom (with access to the swimming pool)

Exterior: Driveway with automatic gate and parking for 4 cars; 6m x 3m infinity swimming pool with wooden decking surround; landscaped garden with mediterranean plants

The internal living areas are open and spacious and the large, sliding glass doors to the terraces ensure that the property receives ample natural light. The ground floor en-suite bedroom and the living room both boast beautiful picture windows, framing the stunning sea views.

Additional features: Underfloor heating on the ground floor; designer radiators on the first floor and lower ground floor; solar panels power the hot water system; polished concrete floors; copper roof, in-built wardrobes in all bedrooms, automatic garden irrigation.

Aiguablava is one of the most exclusive and sought-after areas of the Costa Brava. With a southerly orientation, properties in the Ses Costes estate are protected from the northerly winds and the area enjoys a unique micro climate throughout the year with temperatures up to 3 - 4 degrees higher than other areas around Begur.

The house is just a 5-minute drive from the shops, bars and restaurants of Begur and less than a five minute drive from some of the best beaches of the Costa Brava.

The property is also within 10km of three excellent 18-hole golf courses. Indeed there is a wide selection of both inland and water-based activities in this area, including scuba diving, sea kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, cycling, horseriding, climbing and hiking. The nearest ski slopes of the Pyrenees are just a 1hr 25min drive away. 

This is a magnificent, one-off property in a stunning location overlooking one of the most beautiful bays of the Costa Brava. It would make a wonderful holiday home or indeed a primary residence for someone looking to relocate to the area.
