This property features an extensive, historic townhouse located in the center of Parcent, Alicante. With a built area of 945 m² and a plot of 453 m², the property offers substantial dimensions. Constructed in the 1940s, the building is listed, preserving its facade authenticity. The current layout includes 8 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with potential for reconfiguration. The setting is urban, with amenities within walking distance, situated amidst the historical infrastructure of the Pop Valley.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated within the urban limits of Parcent at an elevation of 232 meters above sea level. This results in a landscape setting surrounded by mountains with direct access to the village infrastructure. The location bridges the coastal strip and the interior of the Marina Alta region.
This property addresses the desire for a residence with large spatial volumes, suitable for multi-generational living or guest accommodation. The presence of original features like wooden beams and tiles satisfies the demand for historical authenticity. However, the functional layout requires renovation to meet modern comfort standards.
Given the construction date of circa 1940, this is not a new build project. The listed building status implies that the structure and facade must remain. Technical specifications regarding foundations, roofing, or energy performance are typical of buildings of this era without modern updates.
The project is not suitable for buyers seeking a turnkey home without renovation work. The location at 13 kilometers from the coast means sea views and direct beach access are absent. Furthermore, Alicante Airport is located 69 kilometers away, impacting travel logistics.

This property suits buyers looking for a project with space and history. Given the dimensions and village location, the object is suitable for those considering hospitality ventures, such as a small guesthouse or B&B, partly due to the presence of tourists in the area. Also, for large families or as a residence for multiple generations, this property offers the possibility of segregating living spaces. The buyer must be willing to undertake a renovation process to combine historical features with modern living requirements.
The current condition displays original details characteristic of the 1940s architectural style, including the original floor tiles, wooden beams, and doors. These materials are of a historical nature. Technical installations and the finish of the kitchen and sanitary facilities likely do not meet current modern standards and require renewal. The building is a monument, which may impose technical restrictions on modifications.
The asking price for this object is set at €850,000. Given the surface area of 945 m², the price per square meter deviates from standard apartments. Availability is unique due to the rarity of such large properties in the village center. There is no variation in price tiers for this specific object.
Parcent is a small municipality of approximately 1,100 inhabitants in the Pop Valley. Daily life here is characterized by a slow pace and a strong local community. Facilities in the immediate vicinity are basic: a supermarket at 166 meters, various restaurants, and local tradesmen like a baker and butcher. For extensive shopping and medical care, one relies on larger towns like Jalón or Orba, reachable by car in minutes. The region is popular with hikers and cyclists due to the hilly terrain. The proximity to the square provides a social dynamic, yet the distance to the coast (approx. a 20-minute drive) means daily life is more rural than maritime.
The living environment is defined by the village of Parcent. Roads to the coastal town of Denia or larger towns like Jalón are accessible. A car is practical for daily life. Alicante Airport is 69 kilometers away, equating to about a one-hour drive. The environment offers 3,712 sun hours per year. The physical environment is hilly, translating to elevation changes and mountain views.
The map shows the position of Parcent in the Marina Alta. The village is surrounded by mountain terrain and connected via secondary roads to the coastal N-332 road. Distances to amenities are shown based on straight-line measurements.
Parcent is located in the Marina Alta region, inland from the Costa Blanca. It lies about an hour's drive north of the city of Alicante and south of Valencia. The position is central in the wine region of the Jalón Valley. The distance to the Mediterranean Sea is approximately 13 to 14 km.
Daily groceries can be done at the supermarket 166 meters away. For specialized care, a hospital is available at 4.0 km. The nearest golf course, Altea Club de Golf, is located 12 km away. Beaches, such as Platja de la Barreta de Gualda, are approximately 13 km away as the crow flies. For international travel, Alicante-Elche Airport is the primary hub.

For water sports, a travel time of 20 minutes must be taken into account. The immediate surroundings offer hiking and biking routes through the mountainous landscape.

Compared to projects in coastal towns like Altea or Benissa, prices per square meter in Parcent are significantly lower. Comparable luxury villas in Benissa are listed starting from €4,250,000. This project in Parcent offers a historic alternative for a much lower entry price of €850,000, but without the direct seaside location. Unlike new build projects that offer modern communal facilities (pools, fitness), this project delivers value in historic structure and larger plot size. It is therefore a comparison between space/authenticity and modern beach luxury.
