This traditional finca-cortijo is situated in the rural municipality of Algueña, Alicante. Set on a generous 2,816m² fully fenced plot, the 125m² single-storey residence represents authentic Spanish country living. The property benefits from an inland location at 532m above sea level, offering a typical Mediterranean arid climate with 3,835 annual sun hours. The dwelling is completed and ready for immediate occupation.
This finca represents a different property category compared to coastal developments in the Alicante region. Unlike the apartment complexes in Torrevieja such as APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH (from €160,000) or EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER (from €169,000), this property offers substantial land and privacy rather than coastal proximity. The price point of €180,000 positions it similarly to these coastal apartments, but provides significantly more outdoor space and traditional character. Compared to developments like OASIS LAGUNA 2 in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000), this property offers greater land area for a lower investment. The inland location provides distinct advantages including lower population density, authentic Spanish rural living, and potential for agricultural pursuits. However, it requires acceptance of greater distances to beaches and specialised services. The property represents a rural alternative to the typical coastal investment options in the Alicante region, appealing to those prioritising space, privacy, and traditional character over convenience and beach proximity.
