Description

10,255 M² OF SAN JUAN DE ALICANTE, ALICANTE: 7 BEDROOM 1940 HISTORIC VILLA, FINCA RUAYA, FORMER GATHERING PLACE OF MUSICIANS, WRITERS AND ARTISTS

Some houses are bought for their rooms. Finca Ruaya will be bought for its legacy.

For more than 80 years, Ruaya has stood among the century-old pines of Santa Faz, on the edge of Sant Joan d’Alacant and a short drive from Alicante, its gardens scented with jasmine. Here, the composer Óscar Esplá found the stillness to write, and around him gathered the musicians, intellectuals and artists of his generation. Today the house waits for an owner who sees not only what it is, but what it can become again.

THE PROPERTY

The main house is a study in proportion: a solid 2 storey rectangular building under an elegant hipped roof, with generous rooms and a southeast aspect that brings in the early Alicante light. Designed with intention and built to endure, it has kept its character through 8 decades.

At the rear, a later annex with 3.50 m ceilings opens both onto the house and directly onto the grounds, a natural music room, library or studio. A second building nearby adds flexibility for guests or staff.

The villa requires full rehabilitation. For the right buyer, that is the opportunity: to restore its original character with the comfort of today.

THE LAND

10,255 m² of private grounds surround the house. Century-old pines give deep shade, established gardens frame the villa, and on summer evenings the air is heavy with jasmine. The scale allows for a pool, formal gardens, outdoor performances or private celebrations, all within minutes of the city.

THE HISTORY

Ruaya’s story goes back to the aristocratic families of the 19th century before it became the home of the Esplá family. Óscar Esplá, one of the most important Spanish composers of the 20th century, drew inspiration from these grounds. The house became a meeting place for musicians, writers and artists, and the legacy they left behind is part of its walls. It is even said that Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, flying the mail route over Alicante, once dipped his wings over the estate to greet the family below.

LOCATION

Santa Faz is a historic village between Alicante and Sant Joan d’Alacant, known for its monastery and its centuries-old pilgrimage. Alicante city centre is 15 minutes away, San Juan beach 15 minutes, and San Juan University Hospital 5 minutes.
