The property features all main living areas on a single level, with a basement floor that houses the technical room, a versatile multipurpose space (currently used as a gym and workshop), and a parking area for several vehicles. The plot is located in the best residential development in the area and includes a well-maintained garden, a covered barbecue/paellero area, and an additional traditional oven. The swimming pool—fully tiled and with filtration equipment located in the basement—has ideal dimensions and enjoys sunlight throughout the entire day, all year round.
The house has been designed with a clear and functional concept: separating the private bedroom area from the living and service areas through a long, wide, and bright hallway. This vestibule is defined by two walls that project outward from the main volumes, forming a corridor that begins at the entrance door and ends visually at the glass wall at the far end, where the hall transitions into the staircase leading down to the basement.
The porch located in front of the living room and kitchen has been conceived as a porch/conservatory. The three open sides have been enclosed with sliding glass windows, preserving the generous entry of natural winter light and sun. At the same time, thanks to the roof structure, the porch prevents direct sunlight from overheating the living room in summer, maintaining a pleasant indoor temperature throughout the day.
Albalat dels Tarongers is a municipality in the Camp de Morvedre region of the province of Valencia, set between the coastal plain and the first foothills of the Sierra Calderona. Its landscape combines traditional farmland—especially citrus groves, which give the town its name—with Mediterranean woodland.
The valley of the Palància River has historically shaped its agricultural character and its role as a natural passage between the inland areas and the coast. The climate is typically Mediterranean, with mild winters, warm summers, and abundant sunshine throughout the year, benefitting both agriculture and rural habitation.
The town centre maintains a compact structure with narrow streets, traditional houses, and points of interest such as the parish church and the nearby castle that overlooks the landscape from a hilltop. The area is highly appreciated for its tranquillity, natural surroundings, and proximity to larger urban centres like Sagunto and Valencia.
Historical Origin: From Roman Villa to Medieval Settlement
The history of Albalat dels Tarongers dates back to Roman times, when the territory formed part of the hinterland of Saguntum, one of the most important settlements in Roman Hispania. The area hosted several rural villae dedicated to agricultural and livestock production. These estates functioned as self-sufficient centres with residential areas and work spaces where cereals, vineyards, olive groves, and horticultural products were cultivated.
After the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Andalusi period, the former settlement evolved into a small fortified rural nucleus. The name Albalat derives from the Arabic al-balāṭ, meaning “paved road,” a reference often associated with former Roman pathways or settlements. Thus, the original Roman villa gradually evolved into a medieval agricultural community organised around fertile land, available water, and long-standing communication routes.
