Located near Guadalest in Alicante, this traditional Finca-Cortijo offers a rural retreat with a plot of 5,750 m² and a living area of 235 m². The property features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a separate guest house. Priced from €520,000, it presents mountain views and a countryside setting away from the coastal crowds.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in the municipality of Guadalest, within the Marina Baixa region. This inland location places the home within a mountainous area, characterized by a quiet atmosphere and natural surroundings rather than coastal development.
The layout addresses the need for space and autonomy. With over half a hectare of land, there is ample outdoor area. The main house includes a living room, dining room, and kitchen, while the upper floor hosts the bedrooms. The inclusion of a guest house adds flexibility for visitors.
This is a resale property. Its condition is classified as 'Fair', indicating that while functional, the home may require cosmetic updates or renovations to meet the standards of a modern buyer seeking a turnkey property.
This project does not offer beachside living; the coast is approximately 15 km away. Essential services like supermarkets and major medical facilities are not within walking distance, requiring a car. It is not suited for those seeking the convenience of urban living or immediate beach access.

This property suits buyers looking for a primary residence in the countryside or a second home that prioritizes privacy and land over immediate proximity to the sea. The guest house makes it viable for those who host family or friends frequently.
The home features mixed flooring, including wood and marble. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the presence of a library adds character. The 'Fair' condition rating suggests that the finishes may be dated, and renovations could be necessary to modernize the home.
The asking price starts at €520,000. This represents a single listing price point. Availability is specific to this unit; there are no alternative configurations or phasing options typical of new developments.
Living here means embracing a rural rhythm. The proximity to the Embalse de Guadalest reservoir (0.7 km) allows for nature walks and scenic views. The elevation of around 550 meters means evenings can be cool, making the fireplace a functional feature. The setting is secluded yet connected to a historic village.
Daily life requires a car for most errands. Basic amenities like a pharmacy and school are within a few kilometers, but a supermarket is 7.1 km away. An EV charging station is conveniently located just 154 meters from the property.
