Places I Can’t Afford In Spain

If you’ve ever wondered what sort of places currently for sale in Spain I’d like to live in but can’t afford because a lottery win and/or an obscenely rich uncle suddenly passing still eludes me then this article’s appearance may well form nearly a whole minute of your lucky day!

Santa Ponsa, Mallorca

Listing

9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms make up this gorgeous villa but it’s the great-looking pool and those arched inside/outside lounge areas that really leap out. Well, those and the € 16.5 million price tag. I don’t have that many Euros on me right now so I can’t afford to buy this place.

La Zagaleta, Marbella

Another villa with 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms – perhaps there’s some mystical reason for it – but this one’s in Marbella rather than Mallorca hence the far more reasonable asking price of € 15 million. For the record, I don’t have that sort of money either even though it’s a full ten percent cheaper than the first Spanish property. Bargain!

This particular villa also boasts a staff apartment, sauna, heated indoor pool with jacuzzi, gymnasium, pool bar, wine cellar, and 8 car garage. It also features the thing in the image below which I couldn’t work out for ages when looking at it: a night club. A villa with a night club! How… odd!

Courtyarded Villa on Hilltop, Marbella

Listing

spain-3-a

Stunning views thanks to the high elevation of this Marbella villa but only 8 bedrooms and bathrooms. Eight? What sort of poor person only has eight bedrooms and bathrooms? The sort of poor person who can only afford € 9.5 million, that’s who. That’s not me, by the way. Still, the giant Van der Graaf generator in the courtyard is tempting.

Santa Ponsa, Mallorca

spain-4-a

Simple design and minimalism make this villa with sea views stand out and so does the asking price of a mere € 6.9 million. That’s still about € 6.89 million more than I can afford but at least it’s all heading in the right direction. Look at the marble flooring and tell me you wouldn’t slide through there in your socks. And nothing else! Yeah, you can’t.
