Dating back to 1860, the property has been recently renovated, blending original architecture with contemporary living standards.

Located at an altitude of 855 meters, it offers views over the surrounding natural landscape.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in a protected natural area in the interior of the Alicante province. It is an inland location, not directly on the coast, offering a different dynamic compared to beachfront properties. The distance to the Mediterranean Sea is approximately 33 kilometers as the crow flies. Onil is a town with roughly 7,264 inhabitants, situated at an altitude of 664 meters.
This project suits residents requiring extensive space and privacy. The layout features three independent houses, making it suitable for hosting large groups or housing extended family. The inclusion of a private water well and multiple storage units supports a self-sufficient lifestyle.
Although the origins date to 1860, the residence has been recently updated with a modern 'rustic' style. This involves a restyling of existing structures, where elements such as open-plan kitchens and barbecue areas were added. The status is a renovated historic property rather than new construction.
Given the distance of 33 kilometers to the coast, this is not a project for beach lovers seeking daily sea visits. The distance to Alicante airport is significant (approx. 43 km). The terrain is vast (220 hectares), requiring maintenance. The environment is rural, meaning direct city amenities are further away.
This estate fits buyers seeking exclusivity and seclusion. It is suitable for families wishing to live across multiple units on the same grounds. It also holds potential for small-scale commercial uses such as wellness retreats or equestrian activities, given the acreage and distance from neighbors. For those seeking permanent residence with extensive outdoor space and a strong nature connection, this offers the capabilities.
The finishing features a mix of historic elements and modern renovations. The description cites an 'elegant rustic style,' indicating the use of natural materials and preservation of original character. There are three open kitchens and amenities for outdoor living with a barbecue and various terraces. The technical state includes electricity, a generator, and a 45 m² closed garage.
The asking price for the entire estate is €2,000,000. This represents a price for a unique object with a massive amount of land (2,200,000 m²). Compared to coastal homes, this offers a high amount of space per euro, though it requires a specific demographic that values maintenance and seclusion over proximity to the sea.
Daily life at La Capona is defined by the expanse of the land and the mountain tranquility. The three residential units (a main farmhouse of 194 m², a second house of 138 m², and a 96 m² guest house) are positioned to ensure privacy. The altitude of 855 meters ensures cooler evenings, even in summer. The private well supplies water. For groceries, there is a supermarket within walking distance (242 m).
The surroundings of Onil are rural and mountainous. At an altitude of 664 meters (and the plot at 855 m), the air is cleaner and the average temperature is lower than at the coast. The immediate vicinity offers amenities within walking distance; a supermarket is 242 m away and a restaurant is close by. Accessibility relies on a car, despite the presence of 3 public transport stops nearby.
The map displays the extensive location of the plot relative to the coastline of the Costa Blanca. Distances to beaches and airports are visually discernible. The green environment of the Sierra de Mariola is clearly visible surrounding the town of Onil.
Onil is located in the province of Alicante, inland from the Costa Blanca. It lies between the cities of Alicante and Valencia. Its position at the foot of the Sierra de Mariola makes it a transition zone between the coast and the mountainous hinterland. This offers a quieter alternative to the busy coast, with less tourism and a more local Spanish population.
Beaches like Platja de l'Amerador are at a distance of 33 kilometers as the crow flies; driving time will be longer due to mountainous roads. Golf courses are further afield, with Club de Golf Bonalba at 29 km and Font del Llop at 32 km. The nearest hospital is 17 km away, and a pharmacy is 8.3 km away. Airports in Alicante and Valencia are 43 km and 98 km away respectively.

Compared to coastal projects like those in Benissa or Altea, La Capona offers significantly more land for the asking price of €2,000,000. While on the coast one pays for location and sea views, here one pays for space, nature, and autonomy. Projects in the comparison matrix start from €4,250,000 for luxury villas, making the object in Onil unique in price-quality ratio regarding surface area. However, the distance to the beach and airport is significantly greater than with coastal projects.
