This finca-cortijo estate is situated inland within the municipality of Benissa, in the province of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. The property comprises a main house and an independent guest apartment, delivering a total built area of 335 m² with five bedrooms and three bathrooms across a 13,000 m² plot. Originally constructed in 1970 and since fully renovated, the estate includes a saltwater pool, stables and three fenced pastures for horses, nine solar panels, and covered parking for two vehicles plus a basement garage. Benissa town sits at approximately 208 metres above sea level, roughly 12,500 residents, and within reach of both coastal coves and everyday amenities.
Within the wider regional portfolio, this estate occupies a distinct category from the coastal apartment developments listed as comparables. APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH in Torrevieja (from €160,000), EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER in Torrevieja (from €169,000) and OASIS LAGUNA 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000) all represent new-build or key-ready apartments on the southern Costa Blanca, roughly 100 km south of Benissa. Those products target holiday-home and lock-up-and-leave buyers with communal pools, low maintenance and lower entry prices. This estate, at €1,400,000, competes in the rural property segment, where the value drivers are land area, equestrian infrastructure and dual-dwelling capacity rather than communal resort facilities. Its differentiating factor within the finca market is the urban-edge location: most comparable cortijos of this plot size sit well outside town, whereas here the pharmacy stands 13 metres away and the supermarket under 400 metres. Against properties in Calp or Moraira proper, this location trades immediate sea proximity, 5-6 km to the nearest coves, for land, privacy and a walkable town on one of the Costa Blanca's oldest settlements. The provincial median income of €15,750 contextualises the local economy, which is supplemented by substantial international resident demand along this coast. Buyers comparing this estate against a coastal villa at a similar price should weigh equestrian facilities and 13,000 m² of land against sea views and shorter beach access. The rental dynamics also differ: the guest apartment supports independent letting potential, while apartment comparables rely on tourist-licence demand concentrated in Torrevieja's high-season market. Benissa's rail connection and its position between Alicante (72 km) and Valencia (99 km) airports provide dual flight access, an advantage some southern Costa Blanca locations lack.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The estate lies inland of Benissa in an urban-edge setting, with a pharmacy 13 metres away, a supermarket at 376 metres, and an EV charging point at 310 metres. Benissa station is 1.5 km distant, with three public transport lines and eight stops in the area. The nearest coves, Cala Advocat and Cala Baladrar, sit roughly 5-6 km away, while Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 72 km in a straight line.
The property functions as a dual-dwelling estate: a four-bedroom main house with two bathrooms, plus a one-bedroom guest apartment with its own kitchen, living-dining area and terrace. Practical features include a carport for two cars, a garage with basement, a large storage room, air conditioning, and covered and private terraces. The 13,000 m² plot with stables and three fenced pastures supports equestrian use and outdoor space.
This is not a new-build project. The estate was originally completed in 1970 (indicative) and has since been fully renovated, including the pool, which is now saltwater. The guest apartment was also renovated. The building status is listed as complete, meaning the property is available in its current finished state rather than at any off-plan or construction stage.
The property does not offer direct sea views or beach-front access; the nearest coves are approximately 5-6 km away. It is not part of a gated resort with communal facilities such as a spa, concierge or communal pools. There is no lift, and as a 1970 rural building, the energy performance certificate details are not stated in the available data. Horse facilities and a large plot imply ongoing maintenance obligations.
This estate fits several recognisable situations. First, buyers seeking equestrian property: the stables and three fenced pastures are a defining feature, and such facilities within walking distance of a town pharmacy are scarce on this coast. Second, multi-generational families: the independent guest apartment allows parents, adult children or long-stay guests to live alongside the main household with separate facilities. Third, permanent residents combining rural space with walkable services: the 13-metre pharmacy distance and 376-metre supermarket genuinely reduce car dependency for daily needs, which is atypical for finca properties. Fourth, buyers wanting a renovated rural property rather than a project: the main house, guest apartment and pool have all been renovated, avoiding an immediate renovation budget. It is less suited to buyers wanting sea views, beach proximity within walking distance, or resort-style communal amenities. The 5-6 km distance to the nearest coves requires a short drive. Buyers focused on new-build energy certifications should note the 1970 origin and verify current documentation. Households without interest in land management should weigh the upkeep a 13,000 m² plot with pastures demands. Remote workers will find the urban-edge location and fibre-adjacent infrastructure practical, while frequent flyers should calculate the approximately 72 km transfer to Alicante-Elche airport.
The estate was originally built in 1970 and has since undergone a complete renovation covering the main house, the guest apartment and the pool. The pool system has been converted to saltwater, which reduces chlorine handling and generally softens the water. Photographic material shows a modern bathroom with a contemporary vanity and shower unit, a fitted bedroom with black wardrobes and wall-mounted television, and a covered terrace set for outdoor dining with an open view. Interior finishes visible in the imagery are consistent with a recent renovation standard rather than dated fittings. Technical installations include air conditioning, nine high-performance solar panels feeding into the property's electricity supply, and a dedicated storage room at pool level. Parking provision is concrete: a carport sized for two cars plus a garage with a basement, itself an additional storage asset. Water and utility connections follow the urban-edge location, with municipal services nearby rather than fully off-grid rural infrastructure. The building fabric reflects the masonry construction methods typical of the period, updated during renovation; structural specifics, insulation values and the energy performance certificate rating are not stated in the available data and should be requested from the vendor. The guest apartment has an independent kitchen, living-dining area, bathroom and terrace, functioning as a self-contained unit. Furniture is included in the sale, which affects the move-in timeline and should be verified item by item during due diligence.
The property is listed at €1,400,000 for the complete estate: 335 m² built area, five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a 13,000 m² plot with stables and pastures, saltwater pool, garage, carport and nine solar panels. The property is delivered fully furnished. As a completed resale rather than phased new-build, availability is immediate upon purchase completion. The price per square metre of built area works out at approximately €4,180, with the land, equestrian facilities and dual-dwelling layout forming substantial components of the valuation. Comparable new-build apartments on the southern Costa Blanca start from around €160,000, but these represent a different product category.
Daily life on this estate is structured around the combination of rural space and close urban convenience. The property sits on the edge of Benissa's urban fabric: a pharmacy stands 13 metres from the plot, a supermarket is under 400 metres away, and an EV charger is 310 metres distant. This is unusual for a 13,000 m² finca, where such properties typically sit in isolated countryside. The practical effect is that groceries, pharmacy visits and café stops are walkable, reducing dependence on the car for routine errands, even though a vehicle remains useful for the coast, hospital visits and airports. The estate itself divides into two living units. The main house carries four bedrooms and two bathrooms; the guest apartment adds a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living-dining area and terrace. This layout suits multi-generational households, visiting guests, or rental of the annex. Outdoor life centres on the covered terrace, the saltwater pool and the fenced pastures with stables. With nine solar panels, daytime electricity consumption is partly offset on site. Benissa's climate data, an annual average of 17.5°C and roughly 3,800 sunshine hours per year, supports year-round outdoor use, though the four-month swim season (water temperatures above 20°C) means pool use is concentrated between roughly June and October. The town itself, one of the oldest on the Costa Blanca, has around 12,500 inhabitants, with eighteen restaurants, several cafés, banks and dentists within a two-kilometre radius. The train station at 1.5 km connects towards Calp and Teulada, giving a car-free fallback for regional travel. Weekends might involve the 6 km drive to Cala Advocat or Cala Baladrar, both Blue Flag coves, or golf at Club de Golf Ifach, 4.3 km away.
The immediate surroundings blend a rural plot with genuinely urban proximity. Within a two-kilometre radius, Benissa offers eighteen restaurants, four pharmacies, five banks, six cafés and two dentists, a service density that supports daily life without travel. A municipal indoor swimming pool sits 1.5 km away, an athletics track at Pla de Carrals is 1.6 km distant, and the municipal pool 3.7 km, giving year-round sport options beyond the estate's own facilities. The train station at 1.5 km links Benissa with Teulada (4.0 km) and Calp (6.8 km), and three bus lines with eight stops serve the area. The nearest hospital is 12 km away, a distance that defines the response time for non-routine medical care. Terrain-wise, the estate sits at roughly 208 metres elevation with a moderate 4% average gradient toward the coast, meaning cycling and walking routes towards the coves involve gradual rather than severe climbing. The municipality records 32 local holidays per year, reflecting an active festival calendar in the town centre.
The map shows the estate's position on the inland edge of Benissa, with the pharmacy and supermarket markers immediately adjacent. The Blue Flag coves of Cala Fustera and Cala del Baladrar and the golf courses at Ifach and Jávea appear to the east, and the rail line connecting Benissa station towards Calp and Teulada runs along the coast.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Benissa occupies a mid-coast position on the Costa Blanca between Calp (6.8 km by rail reference) and Teulada-Moraira (4.0-6.8 km), with Jávea roughly 9-12 km north-east. This places the estate within a triangle of established coastal towns while keeping it inland enough for land-based property pricing. The town's 12,471 inhabitants (INE 2025) and its status as one of the oldest settlements on the Costa Blanca give it a year-round municipal structure rather than a purely seasonal one. Valencia lies 99 km north and Alicante 72 km south, both reachable within an hour to ninety minutes by road or rail.
Distances from the estate run as follows: Cala Advocat 4.9 km, Cala Baladrar 5.0 km and Cala de la Llobella 5.0 km by road-based figures (6.1-6.2 km straight-line in one dataset); Club de Golf Ifach 4.3-5.5 km; Club de Golf Jávea 8.7-9.0 km; Llebeig golf 10-11 km. Marinas at Les Basetes (5.6 km), Club Náutico Moraira (6.8 km) and Puerto Blanco (8.4 km) serve sailing and mooring needs. Alicante-Elche airport lies roughly 72 km away in a straight line, Valencia airport 99 km, and Málaga airport approximately 460 km. The hospital is 12 km distant, and the supermarket and pharmacy are walkable. The Mirador de Los García viewpoint is 3.3 km away.

Benissa records an average annual temperature of 17.5°C, with seasonal averages ranging from 11°C to 26°C, and approximately 3,801 sunshine hours per year, a figure comparable with the sunniest parts of southern Spain. The swim season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts about four months, concentrating beach and saltwater-pool use between early summer and early autumn. The estate sits at approximately 208 metres above sea level, with a moderate 4% average slope toward the coast. This elevation gives slightly cooler evenings than the shoreline in summer and somewhat sharper winter mornings. The large plot and inland-urban-edge position mean prevailing conditions favour gardening and equestrian use, with the nine solar panels working productively under the high insolation levels.

The Benissa coastline holds two Blue Flag beaches: Cala Fustera and Cala del Baladrar, both within roughly 5-6 km of the estate. Cala Advocat (4.9 km) and Cala de la Llobella (5.0 km) add rocky cove options with clear water typical of this stretch of the Costa Blanca. Golfers have three courses in reach: Club de Golf Ifach at 4.3-5.5 km, Club de Golf Jávea at 8.7-9.0 km, and Llebeig at 10-11 km. Water sports and moorings are available at Les Basetes marina (5.6 km), Club Náutico Moraira (6.8 km) and Puerto Blanco (8.4 km). On land, the estate's own pastures and stables provide equestrian recreation on site, while the municipal athletics track (1.6 km), indoor pool (1.5 km) and Polideportivo Municipal Teulada (4.7 km) cover organised sport.
