This detached villa stands in the quiet residential area of Tossal Gross on the outskirts of Dénia, Alicante province. Built in 1970 and fully renovated in 2021, the property offers 210 m² of living space on a 490 m² plot, with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private pool and a south-facing orientation with views of Montgó mountain. The asking price is fixed at €800,000. The home combines a main residence with a separate guest apartment, and is located roughly 2.3 km from the nearest beach as the crow flies, with the centre of Dénia and its marinas a short drive away.
At a fixed asking price of €800,000, this villa occupies a different segment from the typical new-build comparables on the wider Costa Blanca. Projects such as Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja (from €160,000), Edificio Sun & Center (from €169,000) and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000) are apartment developments in the southern Costa Blanca, aimed at budget-conscious second-home buyers and investors seeking rental yield. Those locations, around Torrevieja and Guardamar, offer denser resort-style environments with strong summer letting demand but a thinner year-round residential base. This Dénia property instead competes in the established-villa market of the northern Costa Blanca, where value is driven by plot size, renovation quality, privacy and the character of the town rather than by per-square-metre new-build pricing. Dénia itself differs from the southern resort towns in several measurable ways: a resident population of about 65,000 that sustains services through winter, ferry connections to Ibiza and Mallorca from its port, and proximity to both Alicante-Elche airport (~36 km) and Valencia (~169 km), the latter adding a second international gateway within roughly ninety minutes by road. Against other villa areas on the northern coast, Jávea, Moraira, Oliva, Tossal Gross sits close to Dénia's amenities and marinas while retaining a foothill setting under Montgó. Buyers comparing this property with southern alternatives should weigh the trade-off directly: the same budget buys a substantially larger or newer apartment in Torrevieja, or a detached, renovated home with land and a guest apartment in a town with a more year-round profile. The 2021 renovation is a meaningful differentiator within the local second-hand stock, much of which dates from the 1970s and 1980s without comparable updating.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in Tossal Gross, a residential zone near Dénia on the Costa Blanca. The nearest beach, Platja de la Marineta Cassiana, lies 2.3 km away in a straight line, while three marinas and the town centre are within 2.8 km. The setting is quiet and low-rise, backed by the Montgó mountain that dominates the local skyline. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 36 km away by direct line.
The layout serves two living arrangements at once: a main house with an open-plan living area, modern kitchen and ensuite bedrooms, plus a separate apartment with its own kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom. A private pool, covered terrace with summer kitchen and barbecue, garage, private parking, garden, storage and utility rooms cover the practical needs of a household that stays for extended periods or receives guests regularly.
This is not a new-build project. The villa dates from 1970 and was completely renovated in 2021; it is key-ready and available for immediate occupation. The stated completion date of 1970 refers to the original construction. Buyers should treat the 2021 renovation as the most relevant reference point for the current condition and finish of the property.
The property offers five bedrooms but only three bathrooms, which limits ensuite access beyond the two ground-floor bedrooms and the master suite. The plot of 490 m² is modest for a detached villa at this price level. The building dates from 1970, so despite the 2021 renovation, the structural age may matter for insurance and maintenance considerations. No elevator is present in a two-storey home.
This villa suits buyers in several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Dénia area for year-round living will find five bedrooms, proximity to three schools within 2 km, and everyday amenities such as 27 pharmacies and 24 banks within the same radius. Households that regularly host guests or adult children benefit from the separate apartment with its own entrance to the pool terrace, which allows privacy on both sides. Owners planning partial relocation can occupy the main house in winter, the south-facing orientation and the mild average temperatures of 12 °C in the coolest months support off-season comfort, while letting the apartment cover running costs. Buyers seeking a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave second home will value the garage, the manageable plot and the renovated technical state. The property is less obvious for buyers wanting a brand-new building with modern developer guarantees, given its 1970 construction date, or for those requiring ensuite bathrooms for every bedroom. It also does not suit households dependent on public transport for all daily movement; although 12 bus lines and 50 stops serve the wider area, a car is the practical mode for beach trips, shopping and airport transfers. Finally, buyers focused purely on frontline sea views should note the 2.3 km straight-line distance to the nearest beach, which trades sea proximity for quiet and mountain views.
The villa was completely renovated in 2021, which is the key reference for its current condition. The renovation delivered a modern open-plan ground floor with an integrated kitchen, ensuite bathrooms on the ground floor, and a master suite upstairs with a dressing room and private terrace. Photographs show contemporary finishes: a walk-in closet with white shelving units, furnished bedrooms with standard windows, and an outdoor kitchen-dining area adjoining the pool. Climate control is provided by air conditioning, which combined with the south-facing orientation addresses both summer cooling and shoulder-season heating. Outdoor facilities include a private pool, a covered terrace, a summer kitchen with barbecue and a private garden, laid out across the 490 m² plot with direct access from the apartment. Storage capacity is covered by a dedicated storage room and a utility room, keeping living areas free of equipment. Parking is two-fold: an enclosed garage plus private parking on the plot. As with any renovated 1970 building, buyers should verify through survey what elements, roofing, wiring, plumbing, insulation, were renewed in 2021 and what retains original fabric, since this affects both maintenance planning and insurance terms. The renovation date also means most fixtures and fittings are within the first years of their service life, which typically reduces short-term replacement costs compared with unrenovated stock in the same area.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €800,000. This is an existing, key-ready home, not a new-build development with a price list, so no unit variation applies. The price reflects a fully renovated detached villa of 210 m² with a separate apartment, private pool, garage and a 490 m² plot in the Dénia area, where comparable coastal new-build apartments in southern Costa Blanca towns such as Torrevieja start from roughly €160,000 to €227,000. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process; the renovation was completed in 2021 and the home is ready for occupation.
Daily life in this villa revolves around a split-level arrangement designed for flexible use. The ground floor holds an open-plan living and dining area, a modern kitchen and two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, which suits households that prefer single-level living or want to avoid stairs for guests. The upper floor contains the master suite with a private bathroom, a dressing room and a terrace oriented toward Montgó mountain, giving the main bedroom morning and daytime light thanks to the south-facing position. The separate apartment functions independently: it has its own living room with an open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom, and opens directly onto the pool area. This configuration works for multigenerational families, regular visitors, or owners who let the apartment seasonally while occupying the main house. Outside, the covered terrace with its summer kitchen and barbecue extends living space into the garden for most of the year, given the regional climate of 18.7 °C average annual temperature. The pool area is screened within the plot, and the surrounding neighbourhood is described as quiet and private, a few minutes by car from central Dénia. Supermarkets, including a Mercadona 1.5 km away as the crow flies, plus schools and leisure facilities, sit within normal daily errand distance, so the location supports full-time residence rather than purely holiday use. Practical storage is covered by a dedicated storage room and utility room, and both a garage and private parking spaces are on the plot.
The immediate area within 2 km of the villa is well supplied: 170 restaurants, 48 cafés, 27 pharmacies, 27 dentists, 24 banks and 3 schools fall inside this radius, which indicates an established residential environment rather than a seasonal resort zone. Everyday shopping is practical, with a Mercadona supermarket 1.5 km away in a straight line. Sports facilities include Pavelló Joan Fuster at 1.3 km, Camp El Rodat at 1.8 km and the municipal sports centre at 2.7 km, covering indoor and outdoor training options. Electric-vehicle owners have charging points from Iberdrola and other operators within about 1.5 km. Public transport consists of 12 lines with 50 stops in the surrounding area, sufficient for occasional trips into Dénia centre, though most residents will use a car for daily errands, beach visits and airport transfers. The neighbourhood itself is described as quiet and private, with the Montgó massif as the dominant landscape feature behind the property. Distances cited are straight-line; actual road distances and travel times will be longer.
The map shows the villa's position between central Dénia and the slopes of Montgó, roughly 2.3 km from the nearest beach as the crow flies. Marinas, sports facilities and shopping lie within a two-to-three kilometre radius, while Alicante-Elche airport sits about 36 km to the southwest in a direct line. Road distances will be longer than the straight-line figures shown.

Dénia sits at the northern tip of the Costa Blanca, between Alicante and Valencia, and functions as the region's principal coastal town with a working port, ferry links to the Balearics and a year-round population of around 65,000. The villa's position on the Tossal Gross side places it closer to the Montgó foothills and the southern beaches than to the busy harbour front, trading centrality for quiet. Regional cities, Elche, Murcia and Alicante, lie 32 to 44 km away in direct line, and both Alicante and Valencia airports are realistic travel gateways. Compared with the more southern Costa Blanca resort towns, the area maintains a stronger off-season resident base.
The nearest beach, Platja de la Marineta Cassiana, lies 2.3 km away as the crow flies, with Platja del Cagarritar at 3.0 km and Platja de les Arenetes at 4.4 km, a short drive rather than a walk for most residents. Dénia's three marinas, Real Club Náutico at 2.2 km, Marina de Dénia at 2.5 km and Marina El Portet at 2.8 km straight-line, serve sailing, mooring and waterfront dining. Golfers can reach the Gregal course at 3.3 km, Llebeig at 3.4 km and Club de Golf Jávea at 9.4 km. For regional and international travel, Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 36 km in a direct line, Valencia airport about 169 km, and Málaga airport 367 km; the two former are the realistic options, each within about half an hour to an hour and a half by road depending on traffic. Larger regional cities, Elche, Murcia and Alicante, lie 32 to 44 km away by direct line. A car is the practical basis of mobility here; public transport exists but is geared toward local routes.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 12 °C in the coolest month to 26 °C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.7 °C, a pattern typical of the northern Costa Blanca, where summers stay moderate compared with the far south of Spain. The sea reaches at least 20 °C for approximately five months per year, setting the swimming season from roughly late May to mid-October, usable both in the private pool and at the nearby beaches. The property stands at 20 m elevation, so no significant slopes affect access to the house or garden. The Montgó mountain immediately behind the area provides a natural backdrop, hiking terrain and the visual focal point of the master-bedroom terrace. Winters are mild enough for year-round occupation without heavy heating, and the south-facing orientation captures low winter sun into the living spaces. Local life follows a Spanish calendar with 32 public holidays per year in the municipality, including regional and local observances.

Coastal recreation within a short radius is anchored by Platja de la Marineta Cassiana, 2.3 km away in a straight line, a sheltered sandy beach known for calm, shallow water. Platja del Cagarritar at 3.0 km and Platja de les Arenetes at 4.4 km add quieter alternatives along the same stretch of coastline toward the capes. Water sports and boating centre on Dénia's three marinas, all within 2.8 km, which host sailing clubs, moorings and seasonal charter options. Golf is available at three courses: Gregal at 3.3 km and Llebeig at 3.4 km, with Club de Golf Jávea 9.4 km away for an 18-hole round. On land, the sports halls and pitches of Pavelló Joan Fuster, Camp El Rodat and the municipal sports complex cover padel, football and indoor training within 2.7 km. The Montgó natural park behind the property supplies hiking and cycling routes directly from the residential area, making the location balanced between beach, sport and mountain leisure.
