This project for a villa in northern Sardinia is called “Golden Sunset”, to give you an idea in advance of the breathtaking sunsets you can enjoy from the large, panoramic terrace overlooking the coast and the sea. The idea is to build a wonderful villa with a modern style and all comforts, that stands in a privileged location. The Villa The total area of the villa will be 210 sq.m. and the layout will be on two floors, following the natural profile of the grounds and will be divided as follows: Ground Floor: The entrance will lead you into the grand open-plan living area with kitchen and dining. This part of the house will enjoy a very large sliding window (9m), providing a spectacular view of the Sardinian sea, as well as a direct exit to the large panoramic terrace of about 50 sq.m., which you can equip with sun loungers, table and sofas to enjoy a drink at sunset. From the terrace you can literally jump into the infinity pool overlooking the sea, equipped with a glass side for a dramatic effect. On the same floor there are a guest bathroom and a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The bedroom features an exclusive exit out to another terrace, connected to a rooftop garden. Basement: This floor features a large double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, as well as another double bedroom and a single bedroom, which share a bathroom. All bedrooms benefit of the panoramic terrace. There is also another small room, that may be arranged as a studio or reading room. This super modern and luxurious villa will feature a parking space for 2 cars – something precious in Sardinia. The villa will be built with the best load-bearing structures to ensure maximum strength and thermal efficiency. In addition, the villa will be equipped with all modern comforts: cooling system, heat pump boiler, possibility of a home automation system. For the interior floors Orosei Marble (natural local stone) will be used, for a super authentic effect. Equally, for the external floors the same marble can be used or, as an alternative, solid Meranti wood decking can be put in place. For the bathrooms, 3 options are available: stoneware, Biancone stone from Orosei or resin wall finish. Delivery of the finished villa is estimated in 8-10 months from beginning of the works, which can start right after the purchase deed. The Garden This amazing villa will go with a 1.135 sq.m. garden composed of lawn and Mediterranean vegetation, so that this modern building fits perfectly into the local landscape. The Location This luxurious villa will be set just 150mt from the coast, with a spectacular view over the sea, the Mediterranean maquis and the striking outcrops granites. While surrounded by nature, the area offers close services such as restaurants/bars – one of which is equipped with tennis courts. Santa Teresa Gallura is a small town in the north of Sardinia, which comes alive in summer thanks to festivals and fashionable clubs. However, it is aimed at a more selected type of tourism than other parts of Sardinia. The area where the villa is to be built is characteristic for its granite cliffs, but also for a bay of fine white sand, the deep blue sea with green veins and a seabed rich in vegetation and marine fauna. Very close to the location of the villa there are coves that are real natural pools ideal for snorkelling lovers but also for children. Why Buy It This project is aimed at those who love the sea of Sardinia and the liveliness of its places, but without excess. This villa will allow you to have the house of your dreams, built the way you like it, with privacy, but also with services at your fingertips. This villa will allow you to go to the beach on foot, as the coast is only 150 metres away, but also to take a refreshing swim in the tranquillity of your villa on days when the beaches are more crowded.

We are in a hilly position between Cerveteri and the North Coast of Rome Capital, near the famous Etruscan town of Cerveteri: the property, dominant and panoramic with an unobstructed view, is located in view of the sea a few minutes from the Rome-Civitavecchia motorway, which in just over half an hour it leads us to the capital. The luxurious property consists of three villas, one of which is already liveable, characterized by large rooms and panoramic windows; the other two have open structures, to be defined internally according to one's needs and tastes. The entire property boasts a land of 38,400 square meters, with woodland, water source, heliport preparation and the possibility of building a swimming pool for each villa in the respective exclusive courtyard, as well as a football pitch, tennis court, bowls and mini golf. There are three buildings: the first is a villa of 300 square meters with the main rooms on one level and is currently inhabited by the owner; on the lower floor there are a garage, a technical room and an outbuilding for another 200 square meters. Energy performance in class A, underfloor heating with heat pump, solar thermal and large photovoltaic system above the veranda in laminated wood, of 80 square meters: total energy autonomy of the villa. The other two villas measure respectively 300 square meters on one level and about 600 square meters on two levels, with possible expansion due to the availability of cubic space. All the structures have no pillars inside the building as the roof was made with inverted beams, with anti-seismic foundations of considerable size - all proven by documentation. The pillars are therefore only external and connected to each other in the foundations. In this situation, the internal division remains at the free choice of the buyer. Each villa has its own driveway gate and in the first two with a second privacy gate. Info and visit: Valerio Ducros +39 3391417326

Garden and swimming pool The villa is surrounded by ancient trees, the iconic Roman pines and laurels of the classical age.

Interior amenities The heart of the house is the glass-walled living room, which is reached by a descent through a series of smaller living spaces that look out onto a network of walls from the classical period, traversed by a backlit external wooden walkway. All of the villa’s bathrooms are finished in travertine marble, a light-coloured, richly veined limestone variety that has been used in Rome since the first century BC. The first floor provides three master bedrooms, and is entirely surrounded by a generous balcony. There is also a ramp leading to the ‘fly’, the upper deck of our ship: the terrace. This overlooks one of the most spectacular sights in the world.
