The property is surrounded by mature forest which is fenced and virtually inaccessible to the public, it has a multitude of wildlife which you see often. At the bottom of the hill there are 25 acres of vineyards to take sunset walks or to jog—it is directly accessible to the property. It is a beautiful piece of land isolated by the forest and a long dead end road with no through traffic and only a handful of houses on big lots.-- Its secluded and peaceful location is its most redeeming quality.LocationA secluded and serene natural setting, yet only an 8-minute drive from Benissa's many supermarkets and the A7 express way -- 45 minutes from Alicante airport and 80 minutes from Valencia airport. The beaches are fifteen minutes away. The satellite photos illustrate its privileged location.

I currently live alone next door in the old stone house in the photos. Spending approximately six months a year there. I lived in the house for sale for 12 years. My kids are gone, and I do not need all these houses, so I am reluctantly selling one. Having lived all over the world—I love it here. It is very quiet and peaceful, there is lots of nature, zero crime, and the weather is the best in Europe. Only two months a year does it sometimes dip below 10 degrees centigrade (50 F.) -- in January and February. Many a December, I am pruning my olive trees in shorts. It is an easy place to live.''Welcome to Hansson & Hertzell and the healthiest country in the world!
