This project features a detached villa located in the municipality of Javea (Xàbia) within the province of Alicante. Situated in a rural setting at the foot of the Montgó Massif, the property offers a living area of 382 m² on a 1979 m² plot. With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, the residence provides capacity for a large household. The location is characteristic of the 'Marina Alta' region: quiet and pastoral, yet within a reasonable distance from the coastline of the Costa Blanca.
Comparable to projects in Benissa or Altea, the price in Javea is competitive for square meters on a large plot. However, compared to projects in Benidorm, Javea offers a quieter environment and a higher percentage of foreign residents. The architecture of this villa is more traditional than modern 'New Build' projects in Benidorm, yielding more outdoor space. In the Marina Alta region, luxury derives from location and privacy, not the neon lights of urban kitsch.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated in a rural zone near the protected nature of the Montgó mountain range. This location offers privacy and tranquility, resulting in a residential atmosphere focused on seclusion and nature appreciation. The immediate surroundings are characterized by vegetation and secluded plots. It is an area primarily chosen for its distance from coastal hustle while retaining views of the Mediterranean Sea.
The layout of the villa is designed for flexibility and hospitality. In addition to the main living quarters, the property features a ground-floor bedroom that can serve as a guest suite or staff accommodation via a private entrance. The presence of an open kitchen, a dining room with a fireplace, and multiple terraces makes the home suitable for year-round family living requiring space and distinct living areas across different levels.
This is an existing residence. The technical specifications include central heating (diesel), air conditioning (hot/cold), and double glazing. The installations are oriented towards year-round occupancy, accounting for the seasons in Alicante. The outdoor space is fully landscaped with an automatic irrigation system, indicating a completed garden design.
The location requires private transport; there is no public transport at the doorstep. A car is necessary for daily shopping (supermarket at 3.6 km). The plot is situated on a slope, which implies elevation changes in the garden and pool area. The villa is not directly on the seafront but approximately 1.7 km from the nearest beach (as the crow flies).
This property suits households requiring significant privacy and space, valuing the autonomy of a 'finca'-style life over the immediate bustle of an urbanization. It fits families willing to drive for amenities in exchange for peace. It is also functional for remote workers needing separate space (bedroom with private entrance) as an office or guest room. The situation is less suitable for those seeking 'lock-up-and-leave' with minimal garden maintenance, or individuals wishing to live without a car.
The finishings display elements of traditional Mediterranean construction combined with modern amenities. The kitchen is open and fully fitted. Materials chosen are functional and resistant to the climate, such as double glazing for insulation and acoustics. Heating is provided via a central diesel system, effective for the colder January months. Bathrooms feature underfloor heating, enhancing winter comfort. The presence of a 1000-liter water deposit indicates foresight regarding water supply, relevant in rural areas.
The asking price for this property is set at €1,395,000. This places the villa in the upper segment of the Javea market for detached homes. The pricing reflects the combination of plot size (nearly 2000 m²), bedroom count (5), and the finished outdoor spaces with a pool. Buyers should consider additional costs such as property tax (IBI) and plot maintenance. At this budget, competition in this specific rural zone is limited, rendering availability unique.
The environment of Javea is diverse, but this specific location lies in the 'Portitxoll' or 'Montgó' sector, characterized by lush greenery. Living here means waking up to birdsong rather than traffic noise. The villa is designed for outdoor living, featuring a 'naya' (covered terrace) equipped with an outdoor kitchen. This invites dining al fresco, even in winter months due to the shelter. The slopes of Montgó provide protection from northern winds, making the microclimate on this plot favorable for gardening and outdoor activities. In winter, it is a quiet retreat, while in summer, the nearby bays of Javea are accessible for recreation.
Daily life here requires planning. The nearest supermarket and pharmacy are located at distances of 3.6 km and 2.9 km respectively, implying car-dependent shopping. Beaches like Platja de la Grava are 1.7 km away. While walkable, the slope (3.2%) and distance lead many to drive. For extensive amenities like major stores, one heads to the center of Javea or Dénia. The level of services in the immediate vicinity (2km radius) is limited to local facilities, preserving the quiet atmosphere.
This map displays the positioning of the villa in Javea (Xàbia). The location is marked in a rural zone (green/brown), bordering the protected nature area of Montgó (national park). Distances to the coast (blue zones) and access roads are shown. The gray area indicates the center of Javea.
The residence is located in Marina Alta, a region internationally known. Compared to the busier coastal towns like Benidorm, Javea offers a subdued atmosphere with a high concentration of foreign residents. The positioning at the foot of Montgó is strategic for those seeking nature with the option for social contact in the harbor or old town. It is an 'intermediate position': rural living with Costa Blanca facilities within reach.
The project is located in a rural enclave requiring mobility. Airports Alicante-Elche and Valencia are both approximately 90 km away (84-96 km as the crow flies), implying nearly an hour's drive. Beaches such as Cala d'Aigua Dolç and the renowned Blue Flag beaches are within a 5-minute drive. There are three golf courses nearby: Club de Golf Jávea, Llebeig, and Gregal, all within short driving distance. Public transport is minimal; owning a car is a condition for livability here.

Javea offers diverse beaches, ranging from pebble shores (Platja de la Grava) to sheltered coves like Cala Granadella. The villa is a short distance from the coast, allowing visits to varied spots. For sports enthusiasts, there are golf courses (Javea Golf) and hiking trails on the Montgó. The marinas of Javea and Dénia are accessible for water sports. The private pool compensates for the distance to the sea for daily use.
