Ferienhaus Spr­on­ken­House in Valencia, Castellón, Les Useres / ES – Spain

Holiday home Spr­on­ken­House

Sur­rounded by moun­tains and dead straight rows of olive and almond trees, the Spr­on­ken­House is located on a spa­cious plot in the hin­terland of the “Orange Blossom Coast” north of Valencia. The building, designed by Dutch artist and trained sculptor Xander Spr­onken, is a resi­dential sculpture made of con­crete, wood, iron and glass. Six-meter-high columns are con­nected with wooden beams, the spaces in between are filled with huge frameless glass panes, and ele­ments made of hand-forged iron can be found throughout the house. The interplay of space and negative space, of inside and outside, light and shadow and the pure beauty of the mate­rials used cha­rac­terize the ambience. Despite the high, massive pillars and the mighty wooden beams, the rooms appear light and airy. The boun­daries between outside and inside seem to be blurred; an effect that is further enhanced by the great height of the rooms.

The Spr­on­ken­House con­sists of two buil­dings, the 160 square meter east wing and the 150 square meter west wing. Both houses have an open-plan living and dining area with kitchen. A smaller con­crete volume, par­tially embedded in the floor, is set into this large space. Above and inside it is a sleeping area with a bathroom. The houses, which each have their own pool, can be rented sepa­rately or tog­ether.

Bereits zweimal haben wir eine kleine Woche an diesem wahnhaft schönen Ort ver­bracht. Meiner Meinung nach ist dies kein Haus, sondern ein Kunst­objekt zum Leben. Wir, 42 und 44 Jahre alt, bilden eine Familie mit unseren beiden Töchtern im Alter von 15 und 16 Jahren, die auch hier eine tolle Zeit hatten. Das Haus ist geräumig, schön ein­ge­richtet und das bei­spiellose Licht lässt Sie sich mit der Umgebung eins fühlen. Dieser Bereich ist weit­läufig und daher hat das Haus viel Pri­vat­sphäre. Die Küche ist gut aus­ge­stattet, die Schlaf­zimmer geräumig und der Pool eine gewünschte Kühlung. Die Außen­küche war für uns absolut der ulti­mative Ort, um lange Abende am offenen Feuer zu ver­bringen. Die Gegend ist auf jeden Fall eine Ent­de­ckung wert, da sie nicht besonders tou­ris­tisch ist und man das authen­tische Spanien kennen lernt. Die Natur erinnert Sie an die Toskana, aber viel­leicht wegen der vielen Berge noch viel­fäl­tiger. Der Kontakt mit dem Eigen­tümer ist direkt, effi­zient und er ist sehr hilf­reich. Wir können diese ein­zig­ar­tigen Orte jedem emp­fehlen, der einen Urlaubsort mit künst­le­ri­scher Note in einem ganz beson­deren Umfeld sucht.
