The jaw-dropping appeal of building on the side of Montgo mountain was obvious to us a couple of years ago when we visited the area. The front of the house faces the majestic cliff, and the back looks out from a high vantage point on to the valley below. Our plot of land is sited as far up the mountain as local regulations permit. This means that no houses overlook us from above, and we have one of the best views of the lovely sweeping landscape below.

To maximise the views, we wanted to try an "infinity" pool, and we think it has worked out very well.

View of the hallway. We have travertine floors throughout, and some nice architectural finishings such as the traditional ballustrading and archways.

Here's a view that looks out from the back of the house onto the valley, through one of the three bedrooms.

Other info:

The house has three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. All bedrooms have full ensuite bathrooms. Rooms will have air conditioning installed in time for summer 2008. Underfloor heating is installed throughout. The house has a laundry room with a washing machine.

We are located near the village of Javea, which is a short drive from the port of Denia, and we are about an hour's drive north of Alicante or an hour's drive south of Valencia.

At this time we anticipate that the villa will be ready for July 2008. If you are interested in more information on the villa or rental rates, please email us.

The pictures above are just initial entries. We'll be significantly improving and adding to the collection shortly.
