This estate in Monóvar (Alicante) comprises a historic main structure and 200 hectares of private land. The terrain features pine forests, 25 hectares of almond groves, and mountainous areas suitable for hiking. With approximately 1,000 m² of built space and an elevation of 393 meters above sea level, the property offers views of the valley towards Elda and Monóvar. The location is inland, with the coast situated approximately 31 kilometers away.
Compared to coastal projects in Benissa or Altea, this Monóvar estate offers significantly more land for a lower price per square meter. However, it lacks the turn-key readiness and coastal lifestyle. The focus here is on privacy, scale, and agricultural potential rather than beach proximity.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in the municipality of Monóvar, within the Vinalopó Mitjà region. The immediate surroundings are defined by rural construction and agricultural activity. Basic amenities such as a supermarket and a pharmacy are within walking distance (79 m and 163 m respectively), ensuring accessibility to daily necessities despite the secluded nature of the estate grounds.
The layout includes 15 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms spread across the main residence and outbuildings. In addition to the main house, there is a building currently serving as a family residence and another featuring a large dining hall for events. The presence of warehouses and garages provides potential for conversion into guest accommodations or leisure facilities.
The main structure dates back to the 19th century and retains historic features. This is a renovation project rather than new construction. The condition of the buildings varies, and it is expected that modern systems (electricity, plumbing) require updating to meet current living standards.
Given the size of the estate (200 hectares) and its mountainous location, land maintenance is significant. Access roads are local and narrower. The property is not suitable for buyers seeking a lock-and-leave home or immediate beach proximity. It requires a commitment to managing a large rural property.
This property suits individuals or entities looking for a development project in the Spanish interior, specifically for purposes like a rural hotel, retreat center, or agri-tourism. It is less suitable for those seeking a move-in-ready holiday home. It requires resources for long-term renovation and estate management.
Finishes are traditional. Images show an eclectic living room with a fireplace and vintage black-and-white tiled bathrooms. The technical state of utilities is likely outdated given the age of the buildings, requiring a complete technical overhaul for modern comfort.
The asking price is set at €2,999,995. This reflects the vast acreage and the potential of the buildings, but does not include the cost of necessary renovations. Buyers should budget for significant investment to modernize the structures for residential or commercial use.
Living here means residing in a secluded, rural environment. While the town of Monóvar and basic amenities are close, leaving the estate requires a car. The elevation of 393 meters results in cooler evenings and expansive views but also exposure to wind. The lifestyle is defined by privacy, space, and direct engagement with the land.
The environment offers a mix of agriculture and nature. With 25 hectares of almond groves, the land has active or potential agricultural use. The pine forests and mountains provide privacy but limit immediate social interaction to the towns of Monóvar and Elda. The region hosts 32 local festivals per year.
