Compared to the available reference properties in the Torrevieja area, this Benissa finca represents a different market segment both in terms of location and property type. While the comparison properties are apartments ranging from €160,000 to €227,000, this Benissa property at €970,000 occupies a higher price bracket reflecting its larger scale, private plot, and detached nature. The Benissa area offers a different character to the Torrevieja region, with Benissa being one of the historic towns of the Costa Blanca rather than a primarily tourist-focused destination. The property's proximity to both Alicante and Valencia provides broader regional access than properties located further south in the Torrevieja area. The finca-style accommodation with its extensive outdoor spaces and mature gardens contrasts with the apartment-style living typical of the comparison properties, offering a different Mediterranean lifestyle experience focused on private outdoor living rather than community-based amenities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Situated at 219 metres above sea level in Benissa, the property occupies an inland position with views towards the Sierra de Bernia. The location offers a balance between accessibility to town amenities and a sense of privacy. The terrain features a moderate 4.1% slope towards the coastal area, creating natural elevation for the views whilst maintaining practical access to the property and its surrounding areas.
The seven-bedroom layout accommodates larger households or those requiring additional space for guests. The internal configuration includes both open-plan living areas and private bedrooms, with the master bedroom featuring an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Multiple terraces and outdoor spaces extend the living area beyond the interior, allowing for various uses depending on season and preference. The property includes dedicated utility areas and storage facilities.
As a completed property from 1970, this finca represents established construction rather than new development. The structure has been maintained over its lifetime, incorporating elements such as double-glazed windows and insect screens. The property's established nature means that all garden areas have matured, with olive trees providing natural shade and established planting surrounding the various outdoor spaces and pool area.
The property's 1970 construction date means it does not offer the latest energy efficiency standards typically found in new builds. The inland location places it at a distance from beachfront properties, requiring transportation for direct beach access. The multi-level design may present accessibility challenges for those with mobility restrictions. The property's size and maintenance requirements may not suit those seeking a low-maintenance holiday residence.
This property particularly suits larger families or those requiring extensive guest accommodation. The seven-bedroom configuration works well for multi-generational living or for those who frequently host visitors. The established garden and multiple outdoor spaces appeal to those who enjoy Mediterranean outdoor living and entertaining. The combination of town proximity with a sense of rural privacy makes it suitable for those seeking balance between convenience and tranquillity. The property's established nature, rather than being part of a new development, may appeal to those preferring character and mature surroundings over newly constructed environments. Its scale and facilities also make it suitable for those planning extended stays or considering it as a permanent residence rather than purely a holiday home.
The property features traditional Mediterranean construction elements including exposed stone walls and wooden beamed ceilings, characteristic of the finca style. The staircase features Tosca stone cladding, adding a quality finish to this architectural feature. Windows are double-glazed with insect screens and shutters, providing both climate control and insect protection.

With a price point of €970,000, this property represents a higher-end offering in the Benissa area. The valuation reflects the substantial seven-bedroom accommodation, the large plot size of 1,554 square metres, and the multiple amenities including pool, multiple terraces, and established gardens. Properties of this size and configuration in this region typically command premium prices due to the scarcity of larger plots with mature landscaping in established areas near town facilities. The price includes the property as fully furnished, reducing additional expenditure requirements for the purchaser.
