Situated in the elevated Sierra Cortina urbanization in Finestrat, this detached villa offers a prominent position with views over the Mediterranean and the Benidorm skyline. The property, originally constructed circa 1970, presents a substantial built area of 751 square metres across multiple floors, set within a 2,529-square-metre plot. Its layout includes five bedrooms and five bathrooms, integrating features such as underfloor heating, photovoltaic panels, and private leisure facilities. The site combines the geographical context of the Puig Campana mountain range with the accessibility of the Marina Baixa coast.
Compared to properties in the immediate vicinity of Benidorm, this residence offers greater plot size and privacy at the cost of distance from the beachfront. While central Benidorm apartments provide immediate access to the Levante beach nightlife, Sierra Cortina focuses on residential seclusion and golf proximity. In contrast to developments further inland like La Nucia, which offers a more traditional Spanish village atmosphere, this location is more cosmopolitan due to its visual and physical connection to Benidorm. Price-wise, the €3.5 million tag places it above the average for Finestrat, which includes a mix of apartments and townhouses, but competes with other luxury villas in the Sierra Cortina domain such as Villa Roma 15. Compared to the Costa del Sol, properties here offer a different value proposition; the Alicante province generally provides a lower cost per square metre for premium sea-view villas than Marbella or Estepona, while maintaining a similar climate. The availability of large plots (2,500+ m²) is a specific differentiator against the dense urbanisations found closer to the coast in Calpe or Altea.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The residence is positioned on the slopes of Sierra Cortina, providing a transition between the mountainous terrain and the coastal plain. It lies approximately six kilometres from the nearest beaches at Cala Finestrat. The setting offers a degree of elevation while maintaining proximity to the urban infrastructure of Benidorm and the local municipality of Finestrat.
With five bedrooms and bathrooms, the floor plan accommodates larger family groups or multi-generational living. The inclusion of a multipurpose basement, closed parking for two vehicles, and a private pool addresses requirements for storage, security, and on-site recreation. The layout supports both privacy and social interaction through distinct terraces and communal living spaces.
This is a completed residence with an indicative construction date of 1970, subject to subsequent renovations. Recent technical updates include the installation of 7.49 KW photovoltaic panels in 2024 and modern climate control systems. The property is available for immediate occupancy, requiring no further construction phases.
The property does not offer a frontline beach position, requiring a short drive of approximately ten minutes to reach the seafront. The multi-storey layout with stairs may not be suitable for individuals with significant mobility restrictions. The location, while connected, necessitates a vehicle for the majority of external errands and access to broader amenities.
This property suits households requiring substantial space and distinct privacy zones. It fits profiles seeking a permanent residence in the Alicante province that combines private leisure facilities with access to urban amenities. The five-bedroom configuration makes it appropriate for families with older children or those who frequently host guests. The presence of a multipurpose basement and parking caters to practical storage needs and vehicle security. The location is relevant for those who prioritise views over immediate beach access and are comfortable navigating a mountainous road network. It also aligns with the requirements of buyers interested in golf, given the proximity to multiple courses. The specific combination of a large plot and established landscaping appeals to those who prefer immediate maturity in their outdoor spaces rather than waiting for new gardens to establish. The substantial built area allows for the separation of living and working areas, accommodating remote work lifestyles.
The residence features specific technical installations and material choices. Climate control is managed through Mitsubishi sectorized air conditioning combined with sectorized underfloor heating on the ground and first floors, while radiators serve the basement. Energy independence is supported by a 7.49 KW photovoltaic system with a Huawei inverter, installed in 2024, alongside a private gas tank and a "FER" gas boiler. The kitchen is fitted with Siematic cabinetry and high-end appliances from Siemens and Liebherr. Exterior joinery utilises Iroko wood, noted for its durability and resistance to outdoor conditions. Security measures include an interior alarm with a perimeter barrier. The structural layout spans three floors, integrating a garage and patios. While the original structure dates to the 1970s, these specific internal installations indicate a focus on modern energy efficiency and functionality. The swimming pool and garden areas constitute a significant portion of the plot, offering recreational hard and soft landscaping.
Prices start from €3,500,000. This price point positions the property within the upper segment of the Finestrat market, reflecting the plot size of over 2,500 square metres and the extensive internal surface area. Comparable properties in the region, such as Villa Roma 15, list at higher price points, while other villas in Finestrat may start around €2,600,000. The pricing accounts for the specific attributes of sea views, the mature garden, and the installed technical specifications, including the energy systems. Variations in market value may be influenced by the age of the original structure versus the quality of the recent renovations.
Living in Sierra Cortina implies a residence defined by topography and views. The day begins with sunlight hitting the elevated position, offering a vantage point over the bay. The rhythm here is dictated by the interplay between the quiet of the mountain slopes and the proximity to the bustling activity of Benidorm. Residents here likely spend time outdoors utilising the private garden and pool areas, shielded from the direct winds of the coast. Evenings are characterised by the panoramic views of the illuminated skyline below. The proximity to golf courses suggests a lifestyle oriented towards outdoor leisure, yet the urban amenities of Benidorm are within a ten-minute drive for dining or shopping. The climate, with over 3,800 sun hours annually, facilitates the use of the terraces for a significant portion of the year. This setting balances seclusion with connectivity; one is removed from the density of the tourist centres yet close enough to participate in the regional infrastructure and services.
The immediate environment is residential, characterised by villas nestled into the hillside. Essential daily supplies are available within a short driving distance, with a supermarket located 137 metres away. The broader infrastructure relies heavily on the road network, linking the urbanisation to Benidorm and the AP-7 motorway. Public transport options exist, with bus stops in the vicinity, but the terrain and distances favour the use of a private vehicle. The area hosts sports centres, including Puig Campana nearby, contributing to the active infrastructure. The presence of international schools within a ten-kilometre radius adds to the educational infrastructure for families. The neighbourhood is a mix of permanent residents and holiday homes, typical of the Marina Baixa region. The layout of Sierra Cortina means that services are centralised at the base of the hill, requiring a commute for daily interactions, thereby preserving the tranquillity of the immediate residential zone.
The map visualises the property's position on the southern slopes of the Puig Campana mountain range. It highlights the distance to the Mediterranean coastline and the proximity to the Benidorm skyline. The layout indicates the access routes through Sierra Cortina and the surrounding green zones, contrasting the residential plot with the natural topography.
