Merry Christmas from Javea Home Finders

 Javea Home Finders would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year in 2015.

2014 has been a fabulous year and we have great hopes for next year, signs in Javea are good and we have had many tourists over the main summer months.  All this bodes well, and there is an optimistic feel around the place with new businesses opening and a large increase in new build applications with the town hall.

We hope to continue to build on our largely UK based clientèle, whilst at the same time placing a firmer foothold in the French speaking markets of Europe such as France and Belgium.

This will take the form of a fully translated French website where all our properties in Javea are listed.

We have been in our enlarged office for a year now, and this has been successful as the wider frontage attracted more passers by and allows for a larger area to display our wide variety of villas and apartments for sale in Javea and the surrounding areas.  This has also allowed us to offer a long term rental service to those passers by, where in the past we had to turn them away.  As time goes by, we hope to assist these rental clients should they choose to buy a property in the future.

So, without further ado, let me wish you all a Merry Christmas on behalf of the team here at Javea Home Finders.

¡Feliz Navidad!

Villas close to the golf course in Javea

Golf is quite a popular past-time here in Javea and living close to the golf club is the ultimate dream for many golfers.  It is with this in mind I have compiled a list of Villas for sale close to Javea golf club, so here they are in no particular order:

Ref 272 - Recently reduced from 325.000€ to 315.000€ this lovely three bedroom villa sits on a corner plot in the popular Tesoro Park urbanisation, the entrance of which is directly opposite the golf course.  It faces south and a large picture window frames the views of the village of Benitachell and its church with the dome, so characteristic of the area.



Ref 331 -  This traditional villa comprises of two separate living accommodations and is located in the edge of the Rafalet urbanisation which is only a very short drive from the golf club.  With six bedrooms altogether, this would be great family holiday home, also recently reduced.

Ref 359 -  Los Cerezos is right next to the golf course and this four bedroom villa sits on a large  plot there.  The views are fantastic to the south, there is a very large swimming pool and a lovely glazed naya.  it has three bedrooms on the main level and a one bedroom guest apartment below with space to further develop, or to store golf clubs!

Ref 193 - This is a completely unique proprerty located in the La Lluca area, it is in actual fact two plots and two houses. The main house used to have three bedrooms but has been converted into a very spacious one bedroom house with a lovely big naya and courtyard area. The second house, the guest house, has two bedrooms (each with en-suite bathroom) and a living kitchen area.  The plot is large and does require some maintenance but all the bits and bob required for this are included with the house and stored away in a handy tool shed.  There is also a garage, a workshop and a wine cellar.

The 5 best sea views in Javea

Living by the sea is most peoples dream, and we do like to see the sea now and then don't we?  Some agents describe these things inaccurately but we thought we'd give you a run down of the best sea view properties on offer in Javea.

Ref 302 - 189.000€

This three bed apartment has it all, located right by the Arenal beach, with all the bars, restaurants, cafés and shops on a few minutes from your door.  One terrace faces north to Cabo San Antonio, the other faces south so the orientation couldn't be better, the best of both worlds.  There is also plenty of parking, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and a fully equipped kitchen.  What more could you want? It's also just around the corner from our office.

Ref 264 - 215.000€

This one is just across the street from us (you can see our office in the photo) and has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two terraces and a communal swimming pool.  Obviously all the features and amenities close at as well, great for holidays or a rental investment, this location will always be in high demand.

 

Ref 248 - 462.000€

You really won't believe the views from this place which has a heated swimming pool by the way.  Up in Balcon Al Mar, this is a typical Spanish holiday villa with a unique charm and feel, the unbeatable views from the 'tower' style roof terrace are breathtaking.

Ref 499 - 489.000€

La Siesta is home to this beautifully renovated three bedroom villa which is blessed with (unusually for Javea) south facing sea views. It also has electric gates, air conditioning and a totally new kitchen.

Ref  228 - 589.000€

This is an immaculate restoration project which currently operates as a very successful holiday rental business.  Perfect for large families with some really beautiful details and of course beautiful sea views, in a very secluded location.

Any of these take your fancy?

5 Great Reasons to Buy Property in Javea

The top ten reasons for choosing a property in Javea

We decided to compile a list of the top reasons to buy make Javea properties and here it is:

1. The Climate: Javea is reputed to have one of the best climates in the world, second only to Rio De Janiero and on average we enjoy about 320 days of sunshine per year.  You might think the other towns in close proximity would be about the same, but no, the iconic Montgo mountain is thought to act as a 'shield' keeping rain at bay and providing a micro-climate to which supposedly leads to slightly lower temperatures in the summer and the reverse in the winter.
2. The Cosmopolitan Vibe: As Javea is within easy reach from most of Northern Europe via the airports at Valencia and Alicante, reason number 1 makes for reason number 2 in that there are many different nationalities making up the permanent population, not to mention those who spend only part of the year here.
3. Size: Javea has three distinct areas which you can read about here, which means there always something new to discover all year round, yet it maintains that charming character of a small town.
4. Location: As the eastern most point on the Iberian peninsula Javea receives the first rays of the sun each day, the 'Dawn of Spain' as it is known and the sunrises are spectacular...

5. Unspoilt: Javea, unlike some resorts on the Costa Blanca, has very strict building regulations intended to preserve much of the natural beauty of the area, for example apartment buildings cannot exceed four stories in height (there are one or two exceptions which slipped through the net before the rule was put in place). There are also restrictions of minimum plot size and maximum build size which reduced the potential for over-development which can be seen in other parts of Spain.

Well that's the end of the list, but I am sure you can think of many more reasons to choose Javea as a permanent or holiday home, we'd love to hear them...
