This detached villa in Albatera presents a residence situated on a 4,823 m² plot with a constructed area of 164 m². Originating from circa 1970, the property is characterised by its rural positioning and the inclusion of a private swimming pool. The interior accommodates three bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a separate kitchen and a lounge featuring a fireplace. Externally, the grounds are laid with gravel and impressed concrete, and the structure includes a garage with access to a lower-level cave room.
When compared to the provided reference projects, this villa in Albatera represents a different asset class. The comparables listed are apartments in Torrevieja (APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH, EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER) and a semi-detached property in El Raso (OASIS LAGUNA 2), with prices ranging from €160,000 to €227,000. These options offer proximity to the coast and shared communal facilities but lack land ownership. In contrast, the €325,000 price tag for the Albatera villa includes over 4,800 m² of private land, offering a level of privacy and autonomy that coastal apartments cannot provide. The trade-off is the distance to the sea and the necessity of private transport, positioning this property as a rural retreat rather than a holiday apartment.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located inland within the municipality of Albatera, in the Vega Baja del Segura comarca. It lies approximately 20 kilometres from the coastline and is situated in a countryside setting. The immediate vicinity is rural, with the town centre of Albatera providing the nearest concentration of amenities.
The layout provides for a requirement of spacious outdoor living and storage capacity. The substantial plot size allows for extensive gardens, while the internal configuration includes a separate utility room and a courtyard. The presence of a cave room accessed via the garage offers potential for functional use such as a workshop or additional storage area.
Construction of this villa was completed in 1970, placing it in the resale market category rather than new development. The property is available for immediate occupation, requiring no future build phases or completion waiting periods. The structure reflects the architectural standards of that era.
The property does not offer immediate proximity to the sea, with the nearest beaches located 20 kilometres away. As a standalone villa, it does not benefit from communal leisure facilities often found in urbanisations. Being a 1970s build, it does not conform to current new-build energy efficiency regulations without potential retrofitting.
This property suits individuals or families prioritising space and privacy over immediate beach access. It is appropriate for those seeking a project with potential, given the adaptability of the cave room and the scope for exterior landscaping. The setup is functional for households requiring storage for vehicles or equipment, evidenced by the garage and additional outbuildings. It fits a lifestyle that is comfortable with a degree of self-sufficiency and reliance on private transport for daily errands and leisure trips to the coast.
The property features functional finishes typical of the late 20th century, including tiled floors throughout the living areas. The kitchen is fitted with wooden cabinetry, and the bathroom fixtures are standard for the era. Climate control is managed via air conditioning units and central heating, supplemented by a wood-burning fireplace in the lounge. Externally, the gardens are designed for low maintenance using gravel and impressed concrete. The cave room features a brick ceiling, indicating a raw, unfinished state that requires attention if converted into a habitable living space.
The listed price starts from €325,000. This price point reflects the inclusion of a large plot of land (over 4,800 m²) which significantly impacts the value compared to properties with less land. Compared to the provided comparables, apartments in Torrevieja starting at €160,000 and townhouses in El Raso from €227,000, this villa commands a higher price due to the detached nature and the privacy afforded by the extensive grounds.
Daily life here revolves around the maintenance and enjoyment of a large private estate. The morning routine may involve tending to the garden or enjoying coffee on the private terrace, followed by a short drive to Albatera for essentials. The presence of a private pool facilitates outdoor leisure during the warmer months, while the distinct cave room provides a separate zone for hobbies or storage. The interior layout separates the living and kitchen areas, allowing for distinct zones for dining and relaxation. Evenings are centred around the lounge, where the fireplace serves as a heat source during cooler winter evenings, given the property's inland location.
The town of Albatera, with a population of approximately 12,000, provides the immediate environment for daily services. The local economy is rooted in agriculture and trade, which is reflected in the surrounding rural landscape. Major urban centres such as Elche (18 km) and Murcia (31 km) are within a 30-minute drive, offering extensive shopping, healthcare, and cultural amenities. The immediate vicinity is quiet, characterised by detached properties and open fields, contrasting with the higher density of the coastal resorts.
The map displays the inland position of the property south of Elche and west of Torrevieja. It highlights the distance from the Mediterranean coast and the proximity to the AP-7 motorway network, which connects the area to Alicante and Murcia.
