For one thing, Calpe is quick to reach: a two hour flight over to Alicante and then an easy drive up to Calpe – you won’t be far from your loved ones in the UK. The climate enjoys almost year-round sun (with none of the humidity of Southeast Asia!), and the European culture means that you won’t need to adjust too sharply to a completely new way of life. That said, the relaxed atmosphere – a brilliant balance of bustle and quiet – isn’t one you’ll be able to find as easily in the UK. Read on for a showcase of our property for sale in Calpe that were almost designed to be enjoyed in retirement.
Topacio II - Three bedroom penthouse
Yes, you read that right – a three bedroom penthouse. Click on the link and it’ll be hard not to entertain the idea of investing in a Calpe property today. Not only is it beautifully decorated, but it comes fully furnished – which means you won’t have to move the entire contents of your current home to Spain, saving you significantly on the cost of your move. This is a beachfront penthouse, with beautiful views of the sea and two terraces from which to enjoy them. Barbecuing could be a daily activity if you want it to be, rather than a twice a summer treat! One of the terraces is large enough to have quite a party in, and find room to cultivate a small garden. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living rooms, there’s ample rooms to host a decent sized group of family and friends whenever you feel like playing host.
Bungalow Puerta del Sol
As gorgeous as beachside accommodation is, it does have its drawbacks: it’s busy and during summer you won’t be able to escape throngs of visitors. Those who are looking for a calmer and more secluded retirement might like to consider the Bungalow Puerta del Sol, located just over a mile from Calpe’s bustling seafront. The decor here is decidedly more rustic (check out the pictures in the link), with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living area, large terrace and a private garden creating an ideal haven in which to enjoy some well earned R&R after a long career. The complex in which the bungalow sits has three communal swimming pools to enjoy – perfect for keeping the grandkids happy. There’s even electric heating for that rare chilly day.
Villa Costa Blanca 172
If you’re a stickler for sleek architecture and want something tailor made to enjoy both outdoor and indoor lifestyles, then Villa Costa Blanca 172 might be the dream retirement abode for you. The spacious outside terrace is covered, providing welcome shade from the sun (which shines for the bulk of the year) – ideal if you’ve got infant grandchildren, or you don’t want to overdo the tanning. This ground floor apartment also comes with a lawned garden and private pool (a huge draw factor if you’re thinking of renting your property out for a few months a year). Inside the apartment, the design is ultra modern, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large open plan kitchen and living area: property for sale in Calpe doesn’t often offer such a great setting for entertainment.
A wonderful balance between liveliness and calm, this special part of Alicante is an enviable place to spend with your loved ones and family. Our property for sale in Calpe can cater to your golden years – whatever your requirements are. For more information on the region, or to look at more Calpe property for sale, contact us.
