Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is positioned in an urbanised area of Benissa, offering a residential setting with local services nearby. It is located approximately 5 kilometres from the coastline. The elevation places the villa above sea level, providing views of the surrounding terrain while maintaining a manageable connection to the main road network.
This residence addresses the need for detached living with significant external space. The 1,165 m² plot accommodates a private garden and swimming pool. Internally, the layout includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms across two levels, providing separation between living and sleeping areas. A covered terrace and utility room support daily maintenance and outdoor living requirements.
This is a resale property originating from 1970, classified as a completed residence available for immediate occupation. While the primary structure dates to the late 20th century, specific elements such as the swimming pool have undergone recent renovation. Infrastructure includes mains electricity and solar panel installation for energy supply.
The property does not offer frontline beach access or direct sea views due to its inland position. It is not a new construction development; it is a standalone resale villa. The absence of shared community facilities means that maintenance of the private pool and garden is the responsibility of the owner. The terrain includes a moderate slope.
This residence suits individuals or families prioritising privacy and outdoor space over immediate beach proximity. It fits those seeking a permanent residence in an established urban area, or a holiday home with a tranquil setting. The property may appeal to buyers comfortable with managing the maintenance of a 1970s build, including garden and pool upkeep. It is appropriate for those who wish to live inland but remain within a 10-minute drive of the coast. The layout allows for use as a main home with a home office, facilitated by the separate room on the main floor.
The villa features a south-facing orientation which maximises natural light and solar gain. Construction dates to 1970, utilising materials typical of that era, though recent updates are evident in amenities such as air conditioning and double glazing for climate insulation. The kitchen is described as modern and fully equipped. Energy efficiency is augmented by the installation of solar panels alongside mains electricity. The exterior includes a renovated swimming pool, a landscaped garden, and a covered terrace designed for outdoor shelter. The flooring includes marble in dining areas. The property is fully fenced, indicating a focus on security and enclosure.
The asking price starts from €595,000. This positioning reflects the combination of a large plot size, detached status, and the specific location within Benissa. Costs associated with purchasing a resale property of this age differ from new developments, primarily involving the Property Transfer Tax (ITP) rather than VAT. The price point places it within the mid-to-high range for detached villas in this part of the Costa Blanca.
The daily rhythm at this address revolves around the contrast between inland living and coastal proximity. Essential amenities such as a pharmacy (13 metres) and a supermarket (376 metres) are within walking distance, allowing for daily errands without a vehicle. The fenced plot ensures privacy, with the south-facing terrace capturing sunlight throughout the day. Residents can utilise the nearby train station (1.5 km) for regional travel towards Valencia or Alicante. The location requires a short drive of approximately 6 kilometres to reach the beaches of Cala Advocat or Cala Baladrar. The elevated position implies a slightly cooler climate than the immediate coastline, often accompanied by views of the surrounding mountains and pine forests.
The infrastructure surrounding the villa supports practical living. Benissa town centre is accessible, providing banking, dining, and retail options. The presence of a train station within 1.5 km offers connectivity to larger hubs. Healthcare is covered by nearby pharmacies and a hospital 12 km away. The road network connects efficiently to the AP-7 motorway for long-distance travel. The immediate vicinity is residential, offering a sense of community without the density of a high-rise tourist zone.

Compared to the developments in Torrevieja (such as Apartments Palangre Beach or Oasis Laguna), this Benissa villa offers a significantly different lifestyle. Torrevieja is characterised by high-density apartment living on a flat, salt-lake landscape, often at lower price points. In contrast, Benissa provides a topographically varied environment with detached properties on larger plots. The price of €595,000 here buys substantial land and privacy, whereas in Torrevieja this budget might secure a luxury apartment but with less outdoor space. The climate in Benissa is also influenced by its elevation and proximity to mountains, offering slightly more relief from summer heat than the southern parts of the Costa Blanca.
