This detached villa stands on a 5,600 m² rural plot in La Hoya, in the countryside west of Elche, Alicante province. The property is a fully legal country home completed in 1970, offering 199 m² of built living space with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas and two fireplaces. Outside there is a 12 x 6 metre private pool, a covered terrace, pergola, barbecue area, a 64 m² garage and a carport. The house is connected to mains water, electricity and sewage, and has solar panels, osmosis filtration and a water softening system. The asking price is a fixed €485,000, and the property is key-ready and sold fully furnished.
Within its market context, this villa occupies a different segment from the coastal new-build projects that dominate the southern Costa Blanca. The listed comparables, apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 and €169,000, and apartments in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000, are all lower-priced, higher-density products aimed at holiday-home and investment buyers. Those properties offer proximity to the beach, communal pools and modern construction, but limited private space and no land. This villa, at a fixed €485,000, delivers what those projects structurally cannot: 5,600 m² of private ground, a 12 x 6 metre private pool, a 64 m² garage and a five-bedroom house suited to permanent residence. The trade-off is location type. Torrevieja and El Raso are resort environments with walkable amenities and expatriate services, while La Hoya is agricultural countryside dependent on Elche for daily services and requiring a car for nearly every trip. Buyers comparing the two categories are effectively choosing between convenience and autonomy. The Elche countryside also differs from the Costa del Sol market further south: land and built prices per square metre are generally lower around Elche, and the buyer profile leans towards permanent relocation and family use rather than seasonal holiday letting. A further consideration for this specific property is legality: rural Alicante has a documented history of irregular builds, and a fully legal country house on municipal services removes one of the main risk factors in this segment. Against modern villas inland of the coast, which typically start at considerably higher prices, this 1970 property presents a lower entry cost balanced against renovation and maintenance expectations.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in La Hoya, a rural district within reach of Elche, where shops, schools, healthcare and supermarkets are concentrated. The setting is quiet, with mature trees and open views across the countryside. The Mediterranean coast is described as within easy reach, which places both city services and seaside leisure within a practical driving distance of the property.
The property is oriented towards outdoor living and space: a 5,600 m² plot, a 12 x 6 metre pool, sun terraces, a garden pergola and a barbecue area. The layout with two living areas, five bedrooms and private terraces from the upper bedrooms suits family life, holidays or year-round residence. A 64 m² garage, carport, storage room and utility room add practical capacity.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 1970 and is offered key-ready as an existing resale property, fully furnished. The construction status means no waiting period or delivery planning applies; the buyer can proceed directly to purchase and occupation. Any modernisation needs should be assessed during a viewing.
The property does not offer sea views, a gated community setting or communal facilities such as a gym or shared gardens. It is a 1970 construction, so buyers should expect period features and assess renovation requirements themselves. No information is available regarding air conditioning, underfloor heating or lift access. A car is required for daily transport; distances to amenities must be covered by road.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family seeking a permanent residence near Elche benefits from five bedrooms, three bathrooms, mains utilities and driving-distance access to schools, healthcare and supermarkets. Buyers relocating from northern Europe who want space, privacy and a garden rather than an apartment will find the 5,600 m² plot and the private pool aligned with that preference. The property also suits a second-home buyer who wants an immediately usable holiday house: it is key-ready, fully furnished and equipped with outdoor facilities for the warmer months. Multi-generational households can use the two living areas to create separate zones within one dwelling. Buyers who keep several vehicles, a boat or hobby equipment have the 64 m² garage, carport and additional parking. The rural but legal status matters to a specific group: purchasers who have been warned about irregular build situations in the Spanish countryside will note that this is a fully legal property on municipal services. It is less suited to buyers who want to walk to restaurants and shops, who need a gated community with shared facilities, or who prefer a modern new-build finish, the house dates from 1970 and carries the character and maintenance considerations of that period. A car is part of daily life here.
The house was completed in 1970 and its current condition reflects decades of occupation combined with updates. Documented features include two living areas, two fireplaces, a large equipped kitchen with island, and a pantry with wine storage. The interior is described as bright, with generous living spaces and natural light. Photographic evidence shows period elements such as floral wallpaper in one bedroom and an archway, a living room with artwork and a hallway with traditional details, features consistent with the construction era. The property includes three bathrooms, one of which is shown with a shower cabinet and tiled finishes. Technical installations include mains water, electricity and sewage connections, solar panels for energy efficiency, an osmosis filtration system and a water softening system. The presence of fireplaces indicates wood-burning heating in the main living areas; no data is available on central heating or air conditioning, so buyers should verify climate-control systems during inspection. Outdoor structures comprise the covered terrace, garden pergola, barbecue area and the pool with its surrounding sun terraces. The 64 m² garage and carport are functional additions. Given the 1970 construction date, an independent technical survey is advisable to assess the roof, electrics, plumbing and pool installation. The overall picture is a habitable, furnished family home with character, not a newly renovated property, and the fixed price should be weighed against potential modernisation budgets.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €485,000. This is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build development, so there is no price list or range of unit types; the price applies to the complete property including the 5,600 m² plot, the 199 m² house, the pool, the 64 m² garage and the carport. The house is sold fully furnished. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs in Spain, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and should verify annual running costs such as local property tax with the seller's documents. As this is a resale property, the price may be negotiable, but any adjustment is a matter for direct discussion with the vendor.
Daily life at this villa revolves around the combination of a large private plot and the practical connection to Elche. The morning routine can take place largely outdoors: breakfast under the covered terrace, swimming in the 12 x 6 metre pool, or gardening across the 5,600 m² of land with its mature trees. The two living areas allow the household to separate functions, one room for everyday family use, another for receiving guests or working quietly. The large equipped kitchen with island, plus a pantry with wine storage, supports longer stays and home cooking rather than short holiday visits. The five bedrooms and three bathrooms make the house workable for a larger family, for multigenerational living, or for accommodating visitors for extended periods. The upper bedrooms open onto private terraces, which extends the usable living space outdoors and gives each room its own orientation towards the surrounding countryside. Practical logistics are well covered: the 64 m² garage offers substantial storage or workshop potential, the carport and additional parking spaces can hold several vehicles, and the storage and utility rooms keep equipment and household systems out of the living areas. Services are municipal, mains water, electricity and sewage, which distinguishes the property from many rural homes that rely on wells and septic tanks. Solar panels reduce running costs, while osmosis filtration and a water softening system improve water quality for everyday use. Evenings can centre on the barbecue area and pergola. The rhythm here is quiet and self-directed, with the city of Elche within driving distance whenever services, shopping or healthcare are needed.
La Hoya is a rural district in the interior of Alicante province, close to the city of Elche. The immediate surroundings are agricultural and residential-countryside in character: quiet roads, cultivated land and scattered villas rather than dense housing estates. For daily needs, the property depends on Elche, one of the larger cities of the Valencia region, where the full range of services is available, supermarkets, schools, healthcare facilities, restaurants and retail. These are reached by car, and the source material describes the city as conveniently close. The coast is also described as within easy reach, which is consistent with Elche's position only a short distance inland from the Mediterranean. The practical consequence is a two-speed living pattern: quiet, private days on the plot, with city and beach amenities available as destinations rather than as walkable features. Transport is car-based; there is no mention of bus or rail connections at walking distance from the property, so residents should assume full reliance on private vehicles. Alicante province's road network connects the Elche area to the city of Alicante and its airport via motorway-standard routes, making regional travel straightforward. The setting suits residents who value silence, open views and space over proximity to bars and shops.
The map shows the villa's position in La Hoya, in the rural belt around Elche on the southern Costa Blanca. Note that the surrounding countryside means most plotted amenities lie beyond walking distance; the interactive view helps assess driving routes towards Elche, the coast and the province's main road connections.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Hoya positions this property in the countryside immediately around Elche, in the southern half of Alicante province on the Costa Blanca. The location is inland of the coastal strip, which places it between two reference points: the city of Elche with its services and the Mediterranean beaches a short drive away. Within the province, this is a more rural and lower-priced segment than the coastal resort zones of Torrevieja or the Alicante shoreline, and it appeals to a different buyer profile: those prioritising land, privacy and legality over seafront proximity.
Accessibility is structured around the car. Elche, with its shops, schools, healthcare and supermarkets, is described as close to the property, meaning daily errands are a short drive rather than a walk. The Mediterranean coast is described as within easy reach, placing beach trips within routine driving distance. The property itself offers substantial parking capacity: a 64 m² garage, a carport and space for several vehicles, which covers visiting family, a camper or boat. No distances in kilometres or travel times in minutes are provided in the source data, so buyers should verify exact travel times to Elche centre, the beach and Alicante Airport during a viewing. Public transport is not mentioned for the immediate area; rural districts such as La Hoya typically rely on private vehicles, and residents should plan accordingly. All distances in the listing are indicated as straight-line or approximate figures; actual road distances may be longer. For international buyers, Alicante Airport serves the wider province with connections across Europe, and reaching it involves driving through the Elche road network.
The property stands on flat to gently rolling agricultural land in the Elche countryside at low elevation, well within the Mediterranean climate zone of southern Alicante province. The region is characterised by long, dry, hot summers and mild winters, with the majority of rainfall concentrated in autumn and early spring. The outdoor facilities listed, the 12 x 6 metre pool, sun terraces, pergola and barbecue area, are consistent with a swimming and outdoor-dining season that typically runs from late spring well into autumn. The mature trees on the plot provide shade during the hottest months, which directly affects living comfort in July and August. The two fireplaces indicate that winter evenings are managed with wood heating rather than heavy insulation or central systems, in line with the mild character of the season. Solar panels reduce electricity costs during the sun-rich months. The rural position means more exposure to open sky and countryside air than in built-up coastal zones. No specific climate figures are supplied in the data; buyers can consult regional statistics for the Elche area, which historically records well over 3,000 sunshine hours per year and limited annual rainfall.

Recreation at the property itself is substantial: a 12 x 6 metre private pool surrounded by sun terraces and greenery, a covered terrace, a garden pergola and a barbecue area for outdoor meals, and 5,600 m² of land with mature trees for gardening, walking or simply enjoying the quiet. The Mediterranean coast is described as within easy reach; the Elche area's coastline, including the extensive dune systems and broad sandy beaches south of Alicante, lies within driving distance. No specific beach names, Blue Flag status or golf courses are listed in the source data, so buyers should verify current amenity details independently. The 64 m² garage can also serve hobby purposes beyond vehicle storage. Country walks and cycling on rural roads are the natural day-to-day recreation, given the agricultural surroundings. For water sports, beach clubs or marinas, residents drive to the coast. The overall leisure profile is private and land-based at home, with the seaside available as a regular excursion rather than a doorstep feature.
