We present for sale an exclusive French modernist villa in the style of a Petit Château. This villa shares the same architectural style as the famous summer resort villas of Benicassim. Built in 1928, it showcases the finest materials of the era, featuring a trompe l’oeil design that integrates neoclassical, Renaissance, and Gothic styles. The villa is located by the sea on a three-kilometer stretch of beach with crystal-clear waters and fine golden sand, which has held the European Union's Blue Flag since 2021.
It is a mere twenty-minute drive from Benicassim, near the town of Burriana, known for being one of the most opulent centers of orange exportation to Valencia during the early 20th century. The villa consists of three floors, crowned by an 18-meter tower offering stunning views of the sea and the surrounding region. It also features an elevated perimeter terrace that surrounds the entire villa, allowing residents to bask in the sun and enjoy the sea breeze throughout the day. The entire property is adorned with elaborate capitals, moldings in every room, gargoyles, and refined decorations, with coffered ceilings that reflect the purest style of the belle époque.
Inside, it retains the layout of neoclassical villas in the region, with front and back doors that, when opened in summer, along with the tiled floors throughout, help maintain a cool temperature during the hot months. The villa underwent significant renovations twenty years ago, including a complete electrical upgrade across all three floors, new plumbing, and a new centralized heating system with radiators in all rooms and living areas powered by a large central boiler, providing hot water and heating to the entire villa. This installation allows for year-round use of the property. The lower floor features a living room, dining area, and lounge spanning over 200 square meters, which includes a renovated kitchen designed to mimic the antique style of 18th-century Manises.
A solid wooden staircase leads to the upper floor, where the bedrooms are located. There are a total of eight bedrooms, with the possibility of creating two additional ones in the tower, offering truly exceptional views of the Mediterranean from an elevation of 18 meters. On the ground floor at garden level, there is a second kitchen, a living room, and three more bedrooms, as well as a wine cellar and storage room. The garden extends over 3000 square meters in an English sunken garden style, featuring rose bushes, bougainvillea flowerbeds, hibiscus of all colors, tropical trees such as Ponsianas, Canary Island dragon trees, banana trees, rose bushes, hedges, and more, all maintained by an automatic irrigation system.
At the back, there is a pine grove with fountains, pagodas for housing tropical birds, and even a dovecote, surrounded by orange and olive trees. The villa is located about 60 km from Valencia, roughly a 45-minute drive, in the town of Burriana, whose maritime area boasts 10 km of coastline and over 3 km of beaches. This town enjoys approximately 2,900 hours of sunshine per year and offers a rich Mediterranean gastronomy at great prices. Residents can also enjoy the Nautical Club, Marina, and Fishing Port, as well as the Tennis Club and a Golf Course currently under construction as part of the urban development project 'Golf Sant Gregori', located just 5 kilometers from the villa.
