This detached villa is situated in Benijófar, a small inland municipality in the Vega Baja del Segura, roughly eight kilometres from the beaches of the Costa Blanca. The property offers 146 m² of built space on a 400 m² plot, with three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a guest toilet. Constructed in 2022, it provides single-level living with a private pool, south-west orientation and parking within the plot. Benijófar itself is a compact urban settlement of under 4,000 residents where shops, a pharmacy, medical facilities and restaurants are within walking distance, while Alicante-Elche airport lies approximately 26 km away in a straight line.
Within Benijófar itself, three comparable villa projects frame the local market. Doña Patro IX Phase II starts at approximately €465,000 and Phase I at €479,000, both below this villa's €599,000 asking price; Benijófar Villas starts at €589,000, essentially at parity. The price differential of €120,000 or more against the Doña Patro phases reflects this property's completed, immediately usable state rather than off-plan delivery, its heated and cooled pool, and its fitted specification, alarm, keyless entry, osmosis filtration, air conditioning and ventilation, items that off-plan buyers often add at extra cost. Setting the wider frame, Benijófar belongs to the inland tier of the southern Costa Blanca, alongside Rojales, Algorfa and Ciudad Quesada. This tier trades beachfront proximity for lower price levels, village services and quieter winter occupancy: the sea is a ten-minute drive rather than a stroll. Coastal equivalents, frontline or sea-view villas in Guardamar or Torrevieja, typically command substantially higher prices per square metre, though buyers should verify current listings, as market movement along the Costa Blanca South has been material in recent years. Benijófar's specific advantage within this tier is the compactness of its service network: hospital, pharmacy, supermarket and school all within roughly 900 metres of the property, a density that some neighbouring urbanisations, notably the more dispersed Ciudad Quesada, do not match. The documented regional considerations also apply: low-lying Vega Baja land carries flood-history context that buyers should assess through official flood mapping, and median provincial income of €15,750 indicates a local economy distinct from the international buyer segment that drives this property's market. For buyers comparing options, the decision matrix reduces to: pay more for coastal proximity, or accept an eight-kilometre drive in exchange for a larger, newer, better-fitted villa in a walkable village setting.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in the built-up centre of Benijófar, a low-lying village on the Segura floodplain at eleven metres above sea level. Daily services cluster within a short radius: a pharmacy at roughly 400 metres, a supermarket under 900 metres and a hospital at about 270 metres. The coast sits eight kilometres east, meaning the sea is reachable by car rather than on foot.
The property addresses needs for single-level living with three double bedrooms, an en-suite master with walk-in wardrobe, and an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Outside, the 400 m² plot carries a private pool with heating and cooling, a covered dining area, BBQ space and automatic-gated parking. Storage is available in a rear utility room.
Construction was completed in 2022 and the property is delivered finished and ready for occupation. No construction-phase uncertainty applies. As a recently completed build, standard ten-year structural guarantees under Spanish law (seguro decenal) would typically have been in force from the completion date; verification with the vendor is advisable.
The property does not offer sea views, direct beach access on foot, a communal residents' facility or a garage as a closed structure, parking is within the plot but open. The plot of 400 m² is moderate, and the location is inland: coastal trips require a vehicle. No elevator exists, though single-level design reduces that relevance.
This property fits several recognisable situations. First, buyers seeking permanent residence with services on foot: the proximity of a hospital at roughly 270 metres, a pharmacy, supermarket and daily commerce makes the location workable without a car for routine needs, relevant for retirees or those reducing driving. Second, buyers wanting a completed, immediately usable property: construction finished in 2022, so no waiting period or construction risk applies, and the home can be occupied from purchase. Third, those who prioritise outdoor living with climate control: the heated and cooled pool, awning and covered dining area extend seasonal use beyond the roughly five-month natural swim season. Fourth, buyers wanting single-level accommodation: all three bedrooms, both bathrooms and living space sit on one floor, with no internal stairs. It is less obviously suited to buyers who require walking access to the beach, the nearest sand is eight kilometres away, or who want a large plot, since 400 m² is moderate for a detached villa. The location also suits owners who value village continuity over resort atmosphere: Benijófar functions year-round, with a resident population rather than a seasonal one.
The 2022 construction incorporates a specification consistent with contemporary Spanish villa standards. Climate control is provided by central air conditioning with hot and cold functions, supplemented by a ventilation system. Windows are double-glazed. A fitted alarm system and a keyless-entry security door address security, while an osmosis water filtration system in the kitchen treats tap water, a practical feature in the Vega Baja, where mains water hardness is a known local characteristic. All bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the master suite carries an en-suite bathroom plus a walk-in wardrobe. Interior layout follows an open-plan scheme connecting living, dining and kitchen zones, with large sliding doors to the garden; photographs confirm a modern finish palette, artificial grass around the pool terrace and an automated parking gate. Externally, the pool includes both heating and cooling circuits, an outdoor shower, and a covered dining area with a dedicated BBQ space. A utility and storage room at the rear adds functional storage. An awning above the main doors modulates terrace sun exposure. As the property is completed, all installations can be inspected and tested before purchase, air conditioning, pool plant, alarm and osmosis systems included, which removes the finish-quality uncertainty that applies to off-plan purchases. Buyers should nonetheless commission an independent pre-purchase technical survey to document the condition of all systems.
The property is listed at €599,000, delivered complete. Within Benijófar's immediate market, comparable new-build villa projects start from approximately €465,000 (Doña Patro IX, Phase II), €479,000 (Phase I) and €589,000 (Benijófar Villas). At €599,000 for 146 m² on a 400 m² plot, this villa sits at the upper end of the local range, a position explained by its completed status, private heated pool and walk-in village location. Prices of comparable stock should be verified as availability changes.
Daily life at this villa is organised around a compact, walkable village. Benijófar's centre places a pharmacy, a supermarket, cafés and medical services within a few hundred metres, which shapes the property's practical value: most errands can be done on foot, and a car becomes relevant mainly for the coast, airport runs or the larger cities of Elche, Murcia and Alicante. The municipality records 41 restaurants, 17 cafés, 10 banks and 7 pharmacies within a two-kilometre radius, a density consistent with a functioning year-round town rather than a seasonal resort. The villa itself supports an indoor-outdoor routine. The south-west orientation places afternoon and evening sun over the pool terrace, with an awning providing adjustable shade across the sliding doors. The pool's heating and cooling function extends usable swimming beyond the natural season, which locally runs about five months at water temperatures above 20°C. Single-level living means the entire 146 m² functions without stairs, and the covered dining area and BBQ corner allow outdoor use through shoulder seasons. Benijófar's population of around 3,700 inhabitants keeps the settlement quiet in character; six bus stops and nine public transport lines connect to neighbouring villages such as Rojales, where a municipal swimming pool and additional sports facilities sit within about a kilometre of the property. The rhythm here is village-based: mornings in the village, afternoons by the pool, and coastal trips measured in a ten-to-fifteen-minute drive.
Benijófar sits in the Vega Baja del Segura, an agricultural plain crossed by the Segura river, eleven metres above sea level and essentially flat. The village structure concentrates services: within two kilometres, residents have access to 41 restaurants, 17 cafés, 10 banks, 7 pharmacies, 2 dentists and a school. A hospital lies approximately 270 metres from the property and a supermarket under 900 metres, making the daily network unusually tight for a settlement of this size. Sports facilities are distributed across neighbouring villages: Centro Deportivo La Raqueta at 1.3 km, a municipal sports centre at El Molino at 1.9 km, and municipal swimming pools in Rojales and Benijófar within about a kilometre. Public transport comprises six stops and nine lines connecting the village to adjacent municipalities. The immediate surroundings are urban rather than touristic, the village's 3,700 residents sustain commerce through the winter months, so the area does not empty outside the holiday season. The nearest coast, with beaches at Montcaio, La Roqueta and El Camp, lies eight kilometres east, roughly a ten-minute drive. This combination, village-scale daily life with a coastal drive, defines the living pattern here.
The map shows the villa within Benijófar's village fabric, with the pharmacy, medical centre and supermarket marked within walking distance. The beaches of Guardamar appear eight kilometres east, and golf courses La Finca, Villamartín and Campoamor are plotted south along the coast. Alicante-Elche airport sits approximately 26 km north-east.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Benijófar occupies a pragmatic position within the southern Costa Blanca: inland enough to retain a village character and lower price level than frontline coastal stock, yet close enough to the beaches of Guardamar to reach the sea in about ten minutes. Within the immediate market it competes with Rojales, Ciudad Quesada and Algorfa, all Vega Baja settlements serving the same coastal hinterland. Regionally, Elche at 21 km provides full urban services, while Alicante and Murcia, both under forty minutes, supply airport alternatives, hospitals and cultural infrastructure.
Beaches at Platja del Montcaio, Platja de La Roqueta and Platja del Camp all lie between 7.9 and 8.1 km from the property, reachable in roughly ten to twelve minutes by car. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 26 km in a straight line, translating to a drive of around thirty minutes via the AP-7 or N-340 corridor. Golf options are layered: Club de Golf La Finca is the nearest at about 5 km, with Villamartín (15 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (16 km) further down the coast. The marina at Marina de les Dunes is 7.5 km away. Elche (about 235,000 inhabitants) lies 21 km distant, Murcia (about 463,000) at 36 km and Alicante city (about 339,000) at 37 km, placing all three regional centres within a forty-to-fifty-minute drive. An EV charging point (Iberdrola) is located 6.1, 6.2 km away, meaning home charging arrangements would need consideration for electric-vehicle owners.

The local climate is Mediterranean with a strong seasonal range: average temperatures run from about 11°C in winter to 27°C in summer, with an annual mean of 18.8°C. Historical sunshine totals reach approximately 3,843 hours per year, among the higher figures for the Spanish Mediterranean. The natural swimming season, when sea water holds at 20°C or above, runs about five months, though the villa's heated pool can extend this locally. Elevation is eleven metres above sea level with negligible slope, so the terrain is fully accessible on foot or by bicycle and no hillside orientation applies. The Vega Baja's flat, irrigated plain produces a green agricultural belt around the village, contrasting with the drier coastal strip. Buyers should note that low-lying areas of the Vega Baja have a documented history of episodic flooding from the Segura river system; verification of the property's flood-zone classification is a standard due-diligence step here.

The three nearest beaches, Platja del Montcaio (7.9 km), Platja de La Roqueta (8.0 km) and Platja del Camp (8.1 km), sit on the Guardamar del Segura stretch of coast, where wide sandy beaches are backed by a pine forest. All are a short drive rather than walkable. Golfers have three courses within sixteen kilometres: La Finca (5 km), Villamartín (15 km) and Campoamor (16 km). Recreational sport is organised around village facilities: two sports centres within two kilometres, municipal pools in Rojales and Benijófar, and viewpoints such as Mirador de la Noria (0.4 km) and Mirador del Molino (2.0 km) for local walking routes along the river plain. The Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes (7.5 km) provides mooring and waterfront dining.
