Les Cucarres 13-E — 4-Bedroom Villas below the Serra d’Oltà, Calpe

In the visualisations, the six detached villas of Les Cucarres 13-E step down the hillside on stone-faced terraces, so each house looks out over the roofs below to the open sea. The site is in Les Cucarres, a residential urbanisation on the western edge of Calpe where the slopes of the Serra d’Oltà run down towards the coast. Two of the six villas are currently for sale, each with four bedrooms, five bathrooms and around 410–420 m² built.

Levels, lift and interiors

The houses are laid out over several levels, connected by an internal lift. On the main floor the kitchen, dining area and living room share one open space behind floor-to-ceiling glazing that faces south, towards the sea. A utility room keeps laundry away from the living areas, the bathrooms have underfloor heating, and the villas come pre-installed for air conditioning and fitted with home automation. The visualisations pair white marble-effect floors with darker stone feature walls, and show a kitchen with a long island, an open staircase and bedrooms looking out to sea through full-height windows.

Pools and terraces

Every villa has its own pool and a private garden. The renderings show infinity-edged pools on a terrace in front of the house, with sun loungers and nothing between the water and the horizon, and a long covered terrace above for eating outdoors. There is also a barbecue area and a private garage.

Les Cucarres and the coves below

Les Cucarres lies at the foot of the Serra d’Oltà, the pine-covered ridge with a bare limestone crest that closes off Calpe to the west; the summit area is about 1.2 km from the plots. Below the urbanisation the coastline breaks into rocky coves: Cala la Mançanera and the Muralla Roja, the red-walled housing complex designed by Ricardo Bofill in the 1970s, are about 1.3 km away. The sea is roughly the same distance in a straight line, and the centre of Calpe, its beaches and the Peñón de Ifach are a short drive to the east.
