Domaine Méditerranéen Avec Une Âme Ancienne, Une Intimité Et Une Vue Sur La Mer À La Xara

There are houses that are built. And there are houses that begin long before the first stone is laid.
This villa, located on top of a hill in La Xara, belongs to that second category. Although it was built in 2007, its story began years earlier when its owner started gathering, piece by piece, elements from ancient manor houses, Mediterranean villas, and demolished constructions.
Carved stone, iron railings, antique doors, wooden beams, columns, fountains, ornamental elements, and architectural details with their own life arrived at the estate long before the house existed as such. Each piece brought with it a previous story: fragments from other homes, other families, and another way of building, which found a new life here.
The result is not an imitation of an old estate, nor a rustic house created from a catalog. It is a contemporary villa built with memory. A home designed for a family, made with patience, intention, and noble materials; a new house that, however, conveys the solidity, presence, and soul of many previous houses.
The property has 774 m² built according to the Cadastre and sits on a plot of approximately 10,000 m², with the possibility of acquiring around 10,000 m² additional. Its elevated position provides a sense of absolute privacy and open views over the natural surroundings, the mountains, and the sea in the distance. From the house, the estate feels almost like a Mediterranean watchtower: serene, protected, and open to the landscape.
The home combines the aesthetic strength of traditional architecture with the comfort of a modern house. Its thick walls not only provide character and a sense of permanence but also favor thermal and acoustic insulation, protecting the house from heat, cold, and external noise. This is complemented by modern solutions such as underfloor heating and air conditioning, allowing for comfortable enjoyment throughout the year.
Inside, the house maintains the same material coherence perceived from the outside. The large stone arches, wooden beams, marble floors, fireplaces, solid doors, railings, and recovered carpentry create a stately, warm, and deeply Mediterranean atmosphere. It is not a neutral or impersonal home: each room has presence, texture, and its own character.
The layout offers seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, a guest toilet, several living rooms with fireplaces, different dining rooms, a traditionally equipped kitchen, a wine cellar, a play area, laundry room, garage, and various auxiliary spaces. It is a generous house, created for spacious living, hosting family and guests, celebrating long meals, enjoying winter by the fire, and summer outdoors.
But one of the great values of this property lies outside. The estate does not merely surround the house: it is an essential part of its identity.
Of the approximately 10,000 m² of land, about 7,000 m² correspond to the main garden and the most stately area of the property. Here, architecture and landscape constantly engage in dialogue: palm trees, grass, stone paths, fountains, sculptures, ancient troughs, and recovered ornamental pieces create an exterior with a personality that is very hard to find.
As in the house, the garden is also built with memory. Many of its decorative elements were rescued from other houses and places, integrating into the whole naturally. It is not a superficially decorated garden, but a domestic landscape created with patience and sensitivity, where every corner seems to have a reason for being.
The pool, built just three years ago and measuring approximately 14 x 4 meters, is surrounded by mature vegetation and large palm trees. Its presence is one of the most striking images of the estate: an elegant and serene Mediterranean scene, with the house and the large naya as a backdrop.
In front of the pool, the covered naya of approximately 200 m² is one of the most special spaces of the property. With stone columns, wooden beams, summer kitchen, dining area, and sitting areas, this large porch represents the essence of Mediterranean life: shade, calm, endless meals, conversations at sunset, family, guests, and direct connection to the garden.
Beyond the main area, the estate retains a more agricultural and authentic dimension. Approximately 3,000 m² are dedicated to fruit trees, orange trees, carob trees, loquats, and other trees, in addition to a vegetable garden that the owner still cultivates. This detail adds something very special: the property is not just a villa with a garden, but a living estate, connected to the land and a more leisurely Mediterranean way of life.
The estate also has a well for irrigation, a particularly valuable element in a property of this size. Thanks to it, maintaining the garden becomes much more efficient and economically sustainable, which is fundamental when discussing an estate of this scale and this botanical richness.
The location allows for enjoying privacy, nature, and spaciousness without giving up proximity to services. The property is just a few minutes from La Xara, Dénia, its beaches, supermarkets, the La Sella golf course, Jávea/Xàbia, and highway connections to Valencia and Alicante.
This is not a house for those seeking a standard villa. It is a property for those who understand the value of the unique: a contemporary villa with an ancient soul, built with recovered materials, situated in a privileged position, and surrounded by an estate that combines stately garden, fruit trees, vegetable garden, water, shade, and views.
A house created to last.
To be lived in.
And for those seeking something more than square meters, bedrooms, and a pool: a place with history, privacy, and an authentic way of living the Mediterranean.
