It means that buyers of the properties at Vista Alegre can use them as second homes safe in the knowledge that they are secure. Locals point out that since local developer Fernando Corominas became president of Vista Alegre in 2007, he has implemented a wave of safety measures including automatic car registration plate recognition for each vehicle arriving at and leaving the development.
Established in 1968, development at Vista Alegre stepped up a gear from 2000 onwards. Of a total 210 plots, 130 have been built upon and 18 villas are currently under construction.
German, Dutch, Belgian, Spanish, French, Swiss and British buyers have been looking on the development this year including two Real Madrid footballers and one from FC Barcelona. ‘We cover rooftops with grass and gardens, build stunning water cascades and prefer to use terracing to fit the contours rather than mass land movement. Each home also has a green lung at its heart, a courtyard of flora that opens to the sky,’ he added. Most properties spacious bedrooms and ample living rooms which connect with nature through large picture windows as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Habitable green roof terraces, natural ventilation, solar energy, sustainability and the use of natural elements minimises environmental impact. Yet the development is just 10 minutes from the airport and some of the most beautiful beaches of the south coast of the island. |
