Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

The plot is located in an urbanized area of Rafal. The distance to the coastline is 17 kilometers. The infrastructure in the immediate vicinity is complete, with basic amenities like shops and healthcare within walking distance. The setting is inland, meaning that travel to the coast is required for beach visits.

Layout

For buyers seeking autonomy in home design, this plot provides the space to realize specific requirements. The presence of EV charging points nearby supports a modern lifestyle. The size of the plot allows for layouts that can accommodate both living and working, or the creation of multiple residential units.

Project Status

There is currently no active construction project. The buyer must develop an architectural design and obtain permits independently. Historically, there was a project for 7 townhouses, indicating the ground capacity meets urban building density requirements. Construction planning depends entirely on the owner's initiative.

Points of Attention

This project concerns a vacant lot with no construction. There is no direct sea view, as the location is inland at 27 meters above sea level. Transport is necessary for beach access. The distance to Alicante airport is approximately 33 kilometers. The plot is offered without amenities like a pool or landscaping; these must be realized by the owner.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This plot suits buyers specifically looking for a building site rather than a turnkey property. It fits those who value the creative freedom and challenge of a construction project. Investors interested in developing multiple units (such as townhouses) may also find the history and size relevant. It is not a match for those seeking immediate beachfront accommodation or an apartment in a resort.

Build Quality & Finishing

As it concerns building land, there is no predetermined finish level. The quality of the eventual build is determined by the owner's choices. One must be capable of making selections for materials, installations, and finishes. Spanish building standards impose requirements for insulation and structural integrity that must align with local regulations.

Price & Context

Price & Availability

The asking price for the plot is €360,000. This is a fixed price for the entire lot. There are no variations in type or finish, as it involves only the land. Prospective buyers must account for additional costs for construction, architecture, permits, and taxes (ITP and VAT) on top of the purchase sum.

Regional Comparison

Compared to coastal projects in Benissa or Altea, this plot offers a lower entry price but lacks direct sea access. Properties immediately on the coast in the Alicante region often command a premium for views and location. However, for buyers prioritizing autonomy and value for money in an urban context, Rafal offers a solid base. Maintenance costs for the environment are generally lower than in exclusive sea resorts.
