Balearic Islands, Ibiza, San Jose, Spain

This delightful duplex apartment in Cala Carbo enjoys spectacular views of the sea and directly across to the mystical island of Es Vedra from its highly privileged position just a 5-minute drive from the closest picturesque beach in Ibiza's much revered San Jose region.

The sunny, southwestern orientated property has been lovingly maintained by the same owner since it was originally constructed in 1989 and retains a fresh and modern appearance. Measuring 100m2 in total the apartment, with interior 52m2 living area, provides a spacious double bedroom with fitted wardrobes on the ground floor, opening to a terrace overlooking the gardens, pool and sea. There is a full bathroom with bathtub also on this level.

A spiral stairway leads to the upper floor of the duplex which consists of a fitted independent kitchen with a window looking out at the greenery beyond and a living space incorporating a raised dining area and a comfortable lounge featuring a traditional chimney/fireplace, a lovely addition rarely found in an apartment. The living room extends via patio doors to a further, higher floor terrace.

Ideal for alfresco meals this 16m2 balcony/terrace also boasts magnificent views over the swimming pool, expertly tended communal gardens and over the sea to Es Vedra. Situated in an established and respected private complex the apartment benefits from several beautiful green areas as well as the pool and solarium for the exclusive use of residents.

The apartment is fully equipped for immediate occupation, but its main advantage lies in its suitability for a cosmetic renovation for modernisation to create a sleek and contemporary dwelling in a peaceful much sought-after location.

Famous for its dramatic sunsets, the southern San Jose area hosts many of the most idyllic bays and celebrated attractions on the island. The capital, Ibiza town can be reached in 25 minutes by car and the airport is a mere 20-minute drive away.
