A Palace in the Valencian Hills

What does just north of a million euros buy you these days? Let’s have a look

Dublin - A 4-bedroom semi-detached or detached home in well-established residential areas, just 15 minutes drive to the nearest public transport link and not a long way to Tipperary (closer than the city centre in fact)

London - a house in Cockfosters, or maybe a terrace in Pratt’s Bottom, a semi on Helmet Row, a pad on Cumming Street? Nothing funny about that, stop smirking

New York - a one bed in Manhattan or a 2 bed in Queens and Brooklyn, but these might come with a doorman for witty repartee and crucial clues to help solve murder mysteries if TV hasn’t been lying to me all these years

Or…. a castle palace just outside Valencia? This is in Naquera, where once upon a time those who could afford it built summer villas in hills. Cooler nights than the city and refreshing sea breezes. 30 kms from the city and 15 from the beach. This house is just a 5 minute walk from the town centre.

The property is 750m2, and sits on a plot of 3,800m2. There are 9 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 kitchens, a terrace, a tower and more. In the garden there is a swimming pool, a summer kitchen, barbecue area and mountain views. The photos do it justice better than I can.

So the next time you’re stuck in a 3 hour commute, chuckling at the bus going to Titley Close, or exchanging one liners with Gus the doorman, think of what could have been, and might still be. Call us
