This new development, ESSENCE III - DOLORES, is located in the municipality of Dolores, within the province of Alicante. The project offers homes with 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, featuring a living area of approximately 86 m² on plots of around 129 m². The properties are currently under construction, with prices starting from €259,000. Dolores is an urban residential area providing amenities within walking distance, situated in a more rural setting on the Costa Blanca South.
ESSENCE III - DOLORES positions itself as an accessible new-build home in an urban setting, with a starting price of €259,000. This is at the lower end of the new development segment in Costa Blanca South, especially when compared to projects like ICONIC in Gran Alacant (from €355,000) or LAS COLINAS in Pedreguer (from €529,000). These comparable projects often offer more direct access to beaches, golf courses, or a more exclusive environment, reflected in their higher price points. SPEC VILLA 148 - MONTE SOLANA in Pedreguer, starting at €845,000, represents the luxury segment with villas focused on exclusivity. In contrast, ESSENCE III - DOLORES provides a more attainable option for those seeking a new home in an established residential area, offering the benefits of local amenities within walking distance and reasonable distances to coastal and recreational facilities, without the premium pricing of more exclusive or coastal-focused developments.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The location of ESSENCE III - DOLORES is inland, within an urban environment known for its accessibility to local amenities. This offers a living environment that combines urban convenience with the tranquility of a less tourist-centric area, while remaining at a reasonable distance from the coast.

This project does not offer direct beachfront access; the nearest beaches are approximately 10 km away. Furthermore, it is not situated adjacent to a golf course, although golf facilities are available at a distance. While Alicante Airport is accessible, it is not in immediate proximity.
This project is suitable for buyers looking for a stable residential environment that retains urban conveniences. It is a fitting choice for those desiring a home that is integrated into the local community, away from the bustle of larger tourist centers but still with access to essential services. Families or couples who prefer a slower pace of life, without needing direct coastal access, will find a suitable place here. Investors seeking stable returns in an emerging region may also consider this project. The presence of local amenities within walking distance makes it practical for daily living, while the proximity to natural areas encourages outdoor recreation, contributing to a balanced lifestyle.
The homes within ESSENCE III - DOLORES are constructed with a focus on modern building quality and finishes. Features such as fully fitted kitchens, built-in wardrobes, and private terraces are standard. The properties are equipped with pre-installation for air conditioning, for both cooling and heating, and benefit from double glazing for thermal and acoustic insulation. The orientation of the homes, primarily northeast, can contribute to pleasant natural light throughout the day. Security is enhanced by electric blinds and an entry phone system. The finish aims for a contemporary aesthetic, with details like ensuite bathrooms and potential solariums, elevating the home's comfort and functionality.
The ESSENCE III - DOLORES new development offers properties with prices ranging from €259,000 to €289,000. This price range includes homes with 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Price variations may depend on specific plot sizes, finishing options, or the exact position within the development. Living areas are between approximately 86 m² and 87 m², with plot sizes starting from 129 m². Given the construction phase, the availability is currently diverse, but stock levels may change rapidly as construction progresses.
