This detached villa stands in an established residential area of Jávea, in the Marina Alta comarca of Alicante province. Built in 1970 and completed, the property offers 353 m² of living space on a private plot of approximately 1,800 m², with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The setting is urban yet quiet, with a supermarket 218 metres away, a pharmacy 339 metres, and the nearest beach roughly 1.9 km distant. Jávea itself is a coastal town of around 30,600 residents, sheltered between rocky headlands beneath the Montgó Massif, with a large international population. The asking price is €1,995,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits within the built-up area of Jávea, close to the port and beach zone. Daily services are within walking distance: shops, restaurants and cafés roughly 1 km away, with a supermarket and pharmacy under 400 metres. The terrain is flat, with an average gradient of 0.4 per cent towards the sea. Sports facilities, including the municipal sports centre, lie under 1 km away.
The house suits households seeking space and privacy in a Mediterranean coastal town. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private pool, two covered nayas, a summer kitchen and mature gardens provide capacity for a family or for hosting guests, with the fourth bedroom forming a self-contained suite with rooftop terrace. Two double garages and a utility room support practical, car-based living.
This is not a new-build project. The villa dates from 1970 and is recorded as completed and ready for occupation. It has been maintained by its long-term owners, but the finishes, installations and layout reflect their period of construction. Sympathetic modernisation, including potential upgrades to insulation and energy systems, would be a factor in any purchase assessment.
The property does not offer new-build energy performance, contemporary open-plan architecture or a gated community with shared facilities. There is no sea view recorded, and the dwelling predates current building regulations regarding thermal efficiency. Buyers seeking turnkey modern interiors, underfloor heating, or a residential complex with communal pools and 24-hour security should note these are not present.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A family relocating permanently to the Costa Blanca who want space, a private garden and walking access to schools and shops would find the configuration workable: four bedrooms and four bathrooms accommodate a household with children or regular guests, and the separate fourth suite suits older children or visiting relatives. A buyer seeking a renovation project in a prime location could acquire the plot and structure, then modernise the 1970s fabric to contemporary standards, the sellers themselves note the scope for sympathetic upgrading. Retirees wanting a single-level-dominant layout with flat surroundings, a pharmacy within 340 metres and a hospital at 7.5 km would find the practical geography suitable, though the upper-floor suite and garden steps require reasonable mobility. Buyers prioritising privacy and mature planting over new-build finishes, olive trees, pines, established lawns, represent the natural audience. Conversely, those wanting a lock-and-leave apartment, communal facilities or a modern energy certificate should look elsewhere. The property also suits households that entertain: the summer kitchen, pool and dual nayas support extended-family gatherings, and the two garages plus versatile annex accommodate multi-car households or visiting guests.
The house reflects its 1970 construction date, subsequently maintained by one ownership over more than forty years. Interior photographs show period finishes: tiled bathrooms in blue and neutral tones, a shower room, a kitchen with bar seating, and fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms. The listed features include central heating, fitted wardrobes, a utility room, private garden and garage parking, a conventional feature set for the era rather than contemporary specification. There is no mention of double glazing, air conditioning, solar thermal installation or an energy performance certificate, and buyers should verify the condition of the electrical installation, plumbing and roof, all of which are typical review points in properties of this age. The construction is traditional finca-style: masonry walls, tiled roofs, covered nayas and a separate summer kitchen. Structural maintenance appears consistent with long-term single ownership, but no survey data is provided. Modernisation potential is explicitly acknowledged: upgrading insulation, windows, the heating system and the kitchen would bring the property in line with current expectations, and any works would need to comply with current building regulations in the Valencian Community. The two garages and annex accommodation expand usable space beyond the stated 353 m² but would warrant confirmation of their legal registration. Overall, the quality profile is that of a sound, characterful older villa requiring investment to meet modern standards.
The asking price is €1,995,000 for the completed villa, translating to roughly €5,650 per m² of built area, or approximately €1,100 per m² of plot. This positions the property in the upper segment of the Jávea market for detached homes, reflecting plot size, location within the town and the four-bedroom, four-bathroom configuration. It is an existing resale rather than an off-plan purchase, so there is no staged payment structure. Buyers should budget beyond the purchase price for modernisation works, transaction costs of approximately 10 to 13 per cent, and ongoing costs of pool and garden maintenance on a plot of this size.
Day-to-day life here is organised around a conventional Spanish finca layout adapted to coastal living. Entry is through electric gates onto a driveway with parking for several vehicles, leading to the main house via traditional steps and a covered naya. Inside, the ground floor contains a living room, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an en-suite master. An internal staircase leads to a fourth bedroom suite with its own bathroom and a rooftop terrace. Outside, the plot of roughly 1,800 m² holds mature gardens with olive and pine trees, lawns, a private swimming pool, two covered nayas and a traditional summer kitchen with barbecue and paella area. Two double garages provide covered parking, and additional versatile accommodation with a bathroom exists beyond the main house. The rhythm of the property is oriented towards outdoor living: the pool, terraces and garden occupy most of the plot, while the flat surrounding streets allow walking and cycling to shops, the sports centre at 0.7 km and the beaches at 1.4 to 2.3 km. Jávea's seasonality is a factor: the town of roughly 30,600 residents hosts a large foreign community year-round, meaning services remain active outside summer, though traffic and beach occupancy increase noticeably in July and August. With 58 restaurants, 11 pharmacies and 6 banks within a 2 km radius, daily errands do not require a car, though the nearest hospital at 7.5 km and the airports at 84 km and 97 km do.
The immediate environment is an established residential neighbourhood within walking distance of Jávea's urban core. A supermarket sits 218 metres from the property and a pharmacy 339 metres, meaning daily shopping is a two-to-five minute walk. Within a 2 km radius, the data records 58 restaurants, 9 cafés, 11 pharmacies, 6 banks and 4 dentists, a density consistent with a town centre rather than a suburban fringe. The Poliesportiu de Xàbia is 700 metres away and a second municipal sports centre 1.9 km, covering swimming, courts and gym use. Healthcare is more distant: the nearest hospital is 7.5 km away in the direction of Dénia, with Hospital Denia at 9.4 km. Jávea has 2 public transport stops, so a car is practical for regional travel, though the flat terrain and short distances support cycling; an EV charging point is 887 metres away. The town's population of approximately 30,600 includes a substantial resident foreign community, which sustains year-round services in several languages. Seasonally, summer brings an influx of visitors, over two thirds of annual visitors are foreign, increasing demand on beaches and parking, while the October-to-May period is noticeably quieter.
The map shows the villa's position within Jávea's urban fabric, roughly equidistant between the port area and the Arenal beach zone. Note the short walking radius to supermarket and pharmacy, the flat route to the coast at 1.4-2.0 km, and the road connection towards Dénia and the AP-7 motorway for airport access.

Jávea occupies the easternmost coastal position of the Marina Alta comarca, between Dénia to the north (8-9 km by road across the bay) and Moraira-Teulada to the south. Within Alicante province's northern coast it functions as a self-contained market town rather than a resort satellite, with its own hospital access via Dénia, full municipal services and a permanent population of roughly 30,600. The position on the Montgó flank gives it a sheltered microclimate. Relative to the southern Costa Blanca hubs of Calpe, Altea and Benidorm, Jávea is quieter and more residential in character, with a higher proportion of long-term foreign residents.
Beaches: Platja de la Grava lies 1.4 km away with Platgeta del Pope at 2.3 km and Platja de l'Arenal at 2.0 km; the nearest cove, Cala del Ministre, is 1.9 km. Marinas: Club Náutico de Jávea at 2.7 km; the Dénia marinas at 8.1 km. Golf: Club de Golf Jávea at 5.1 km, with the Llebeig and Gregal courses at 8.5 and 8.7 km. Airports: Alicante-Elche approximately 84 km and Valencia approximately 97 km straight-line, translating to road journeys of roughly 90 to 100 minutes; Málaga is 472 km away. Hospital: 7.5 km. Supermarket: 218 m. The flat approach to the coast, at 11 m elevation and a 0.4 per cent gradient, makes the beach walkable for most residents.

Jávea records an average annual temperature of 18.4°C, with monthly averages ranging from 11°C in winter to 26°C in summer, and approximately 3,802 sunshine hours per year, among the higher figures for the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, spans roughly four months. The town sits at 11 metres above sea level on the flank of the Montgó Massif, sheltered between two rocky headlands, which moderates wind exposure relative to exposed coastal stretches. The immediate plot is flat, with a 0.4 per cent gradient towards the sea, so no significant slopes affect access. The Montgó natural park area and coastal viewpoints, Mirador de la Granadella at 4.3 km, Mirador les Rotes at 4.8 km, provide walking terrain within a short drive. The local climate supports the mature Mediterranean planting on the plot, including olive trees reported to produce an annual harvest.

Jávea holds two Blue Flag beaches: Granadella and La Grava, the latter 1.4 km from the property. Platja de l'Arenal, the town's main sandy beach at 2.0 km, offers the fullest range of services, chiringuitos and water sports in summer. Smaller coves such as Cala del Ministre (1.9 km) and Platgeta del Pope (2.3 km) provide quieter alternatives. Golfers can reach Club de Golf Jávea in 5.1 km, with two further courses, Llebeig and Gregal, at 8.5 and 8.7 km. The municipal sports centres at 0.7 and 1.9 km cover indoor sports, and a public swimming pool facility lies 1.8 km away. For sailing and mooring, Club Náutico de Jávea is 2.7 km distant. The 32 local festive days per year reflect an active municipal calendar, concentrated in summer but including events through the year.

Within the northern Costa Blanca, this villa occupies a different market segment from the comparable new-build stock in the region's southern hubs. 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) represent high-volume apartment product at a fraction of the price; the comparison illustrates the premium attached to land, location and built area rather than finish specification. At roughly €5,650 per m² built, this Jávea property competes with detached villas in Dénia, Moraira and the Jávea port and Rotes corridors, where plot sizes of 1,000-2,000 m² within walking distance of services are the defining scarcity. Dénia, 8-9 km north, offers a larger urban centre, ferry connections to the Balearics and marina infrastructure, but its equivalent villas trade at broadly similar levels with denser surroundings. Moraira to the south is smaller and quieter, with a comparable international buyer base and typically smaller plots at similar prices. Within Jávea itself, the port-beach corridor where this property sits is generally regarded as more convenient than the balcón areas of Baladrar, Costaner or Bovila, which command views but require driving for daily errands. The trade-off for buyers is clear: this property exchanges contemporary specification and sea views for land, maturity of planting, walkability and position inside the town. For the Mediterranean-lifestyle buyer weighing a move to this stretch of coast, the practical question is not whether the location competes, it does, but whether the renovation budget required to modernise a 1970s building fits the overall acquisition plan.
