Situated in the elevated terrain of Bernia, Alicante, this extensive plot spans over 34,000 m². The property is positioned in a semi-rural setting, offering a blend of Mediterranean scrubland and cleared areas. Located approximately 2.1 km from the coastline, it balances seclusion with accessibility. The site includes a small existing structure and presents an opportunity for development within a region known for its mountain and valley views.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located at an altitude of 247 meters above sea level in the Bernia area. This elevation provides a vantage point over the surrounding valleys and towards the Mediterranean Sea. The setting is characterized by its natural topography, placing it outside the immediate urban sprawl while maintaining connectivity to local infrastructure.
With a total surface area of nearly 3.5 hectares, this plot is suited for buyers seeking significant space and privacy. The terrain allows for projects such as private estate development or agricultural use. The existence of a small 39 m² building with a fireplace and bathroom offers a base for operations. The scale of the land provides a buffer to neighbors, appealing to those prioritizing autonomy.
Currently, the plot hosts a small construction (39 m²) consisting of a room with a fireplace and a bathroom. There is potential to extend this or construct new buildings, with indications suggesting a permissible build volume of up to 400 m² for residential and amenity use (subject to planning permission).
The terrain is mountainous and requires maintenance due to its size and vegetation. Access involves mountain roads, making a vehicle essential. The property is not connected to a centralized gas supply, and the construction of additional utilities would be the responsibility of the new owner. The elevation may necessitate specific construction considerations.

This property fits buyers looking for a project or a long-term investment in land. It is suitable for those who do not require a finished home immediately and are willing to manage the development process. The seclusion and terrain make it less suitable for those seeking low-maintenance living, but ideal for individuals or families wanting to establish a private retreat in a natural setting.
The land features native Mediterranean vegetation and natural stone formations. The existing building is basic. Future construction quality is open to the buyer's discretion, allowing for high-end customization but requiring personal oversight. The 255-meter lateral sea view mentioned indicates a specific corridor of visibility that new construction would likely aim to maximize.
The asking price is set at €175,000. This amount represents the entry cost for the land and existing features. Additional costs, including transfer taxes, notary fees, and construction costs for future development, are not included. Given the acreage, the price point positions it as a land investment.
Living here means engaging with the landscape. The elevation of 247 meters catches the coastal breeze, moderating summer temperatures. The sheer size of the plot (over 34,000 m²) allows for total privacy; one can traverse the grounds without seeing others. Despite the rural feel, the 'urban necessities' are close: a supermarket is within 162 meters and a pharmacy within 83 meters. This creates a dynamic where one shops quickly in town and returns to a secluded environment, offering a practical yet detached lifestyle.
The environment is defined by the Sierra de Bernia and the proximity to the Costa Blanca beaches. There are 10 restaurants within a 2 km radius, indicating a local dining scene. The terrain supports outdoor activities, with walking and cycling routes prevalent. The mix of 'urban proximity' (facilities within 200m) and 'rural expanse' is a key characteristic.
The map illustrates the position of the plot relative to the Bernia mountain range and the coastline. The topographical lines show the elevation gain from the coast to the property.
Bernia acts as a transition zone between the bustling coastal towns and the agricultural interior. It offers views towards Jalon and the coast. Compared to the high-density developments of Benidorm or Alicante, this location offers a sanctuary feel while being only minutes away from amenities.
The property is accessible via local roads. Alicante-Elche Airport is the nearest international hub, located about 54 km away. Beaches such as Platja del Cocó are approximately 2.1 km away. A car is required to navigate the hills and access these amenities efficiently. Public transport stops are available (6 within range), but service may be limited for direct access to the plot.

Compared to the luxury developments in Benissa (e.g., Falco 8 at €4.25m) or Altea (Villa starting at €6.49m), this Bernia plot represents a land-only opportunity. While the others offer turnkey luxury, this plot offers 'raw potential' at a significantly lower entry price of €175k. The trade-off is the lack of immediate infrastructure and the need for construction investment. In the regional market, this provides a foothold in a desirable area without the premium of a finished villa.
