This historic country estate, situated in Monóvar, Alicante, presents a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial property with significant development potential. The estate boasts approximately 1,000 m² of constructed area set within 2,00 hectares of private land. Comprising pine forests, 25 hectares of almond groves, and undulating terrain, the property provides views across the valley toward Elda and Monóvar.
Compared to similar properties in coastal areas such as Albir, Calpe, and Altea, this estate offers a significantly larger land area. While coastal properties like VL111087 in Albir (from €2,200,000) and VL230707 in Calpe (from €2,250,000) offer proximity to the sea, this estate provides a more secluded, rural experience.

This property's inland location and vast land make it more suited for those seeking privacy and development potential rather than immediate coastal access.
