This detached villa is situated in a rural setting near Yecla, in the inland Murcia region, approximately 12 km from the town centre. The property dates from 1970 and is completed, legalised and ready for occupancy. It offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a living room with fireplace, air conditioning, a covered porch, a swimming pool of 50,000 litres and a fenced plot of 2,200 m². Mains electricity, irrigation water, telephone and WiFi are connected. The asking price is from €159,000. Outbuildings, a garage and a BBQ area are included. The nearest beach is roughly 53 km away, placing this property inland rather than coastal.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property lies inland in the municipality of Yecla, Murcia, surrounded by rural terrain yet with urban amenities close at hand: a supermarket at roughly 200 metres, a pharmacy at under 200 metres and a hospital at approximately 455 metres. The coast is about 53 km away. A car is useful but not required for daily errands, as core services are within walking distance.
The house is suited to permanent residence or use as a secondary dwelling. It provides three bedrooms, a single bathroom, a fireplace and air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen and a furnished interior. The 2,200 m² fenced plot offers privacy, a BBQ area, space for gardening and a 50,000-litre swimming pool. Storage is available in outbuildings and a storage room.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was constructed in 1970 (indicative) and is delivered completed, legalised and move-in ready. It is sold fully furnished and equipped. No construction phases, payment plans or delivery dates apply; the transfer can proceed directly once purchase terms are agreed.
The property has one bathroom only, which limits suitability for larger households. It is inland: the nearest swimming areas are roughly 53 km away, and golf courses approximately 47 km. The house is of 1970 vintage, so insulation, energy label and installations reflect that era. Irrigation water rather than mains drinking water is connected. No sea views, communal facilities or coastal access exist.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a low-cost permanent residence in Spain with space, privacy and a pool will find the format and price aligned: the furnished, move-in-ready condition removes renovation risk, and the walking-distance supermarket, pharmacy and hospital reduce dependence on a car. A household that spends most time at home or outdoors, gardening, swimming, BBQ evenings, will use the plot intensively. Second, a buyer looking for a holiday or seasonal retreat with modest capital outlay may accept the single bathroom and 1970s fabric in exchange for 2,200 m² of grounds and a 50,000-litre pool. Third, those with connections to Yecla itself, work, family or the wine and furniture industries, gain a rural base only 12 km from town services. Conversely, the property is less aligned with buyers who want coastal proximity: the nearest swimming areas are approximately 53 km away, golf around 47 km, and there are no sea views. Households needing two or more bathrooms, or buyers expecting modern energy performance and new-build finishes, should factor in the property's era. In short, the match works where budget and land area outweigh coastal access and contemporary specification.
The villa was built in 1970, and its specification reflects that period rather than contemporary new-build standards. The construction is described as using quality materials for its class, with a masonry build typical of inland Murcia country houses. Interior features include a living room with fireplace, air conditioning, and a fitted kitchen; the property is sold fully furnished and equipped, including bedroom furniture and television as visible in the listing imagery. Windows are fitted with grilles (rejas), a common security feature in rural Spain, which is visible in the exterior photographs. Technical connections are in place: mains electricity, telephone line, WiFi and irrigation water. The latter point deserves attention, the water supply is irrigation water rather than mains drinking water, which is normal for rural plots in the Yecla area but affects household use, typically requiring bottled or delivered drinking water or a treatment system. No energy performance certificate details are stated, and given the 1970 construction date, insulation levels and thermal performance should be assessed during a viewing. Exterior provision is substantial: a 50,000-litre swimming pool, a covered porch, a BBQ area, a garage and several outbuildings offering storage capacity. The overall picture is of a functional, maintained country property rather than a renovated designer home; buyers should commission a technical survey to verify the condition of roof, pool installations and electrical systems before purchase.
The property is offered from €159,000. At roughly €800 per m² of built area, or about €72 per m² of plot, the pricing sits well below coastal benchmarks in the wider region. For comparison, a new-build villa project such as Golden Green Villas in Los Alcazares starts from €539,900, reflecting the premium attached to coastal positions. Availability is immediate, as the house is completed and furnished. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary and registry fees), which are not included in the asking price. The price reflects the 1970 construction date, the single bathroom and the inland location.
Daily life at this property revolves around the house and its plot rather than the surrounding neighbourhood. The morning routine can take place on the covered porch or beside the 50,000-litre pool, with the fenced 2,200 m² grounds providing room for gardening, outdoor cooking at the BBQ area and storage in the various outbuildings. Indoors, the living room with fireplace functions as the central space, supported by air conditioning for the warmer months. The three bedrooms accommodate a family or guests, though the single bathroom structures daily use around shared scheduling. Despite the rural setting, the location analysis shows amenities within a short walk: a supermarket at roughly 200 metres, a pharmacy at 183 metres and a hospital at about 455 metres. This means grocery runs, prescriptions and medical appointments do not require a car, an unusual feature for a countryside property at this price level. The rhythm of the area is quiet and agricultural. Yecla, roughly 12 km away, is a working town known for wine production and furniture manufacturing, with schools, shops, restaurants and historical landmarks. Evenings and weekends tend to be spent on the plot itself or in town rather than in tourist areas, as the coast lies some 53 km distant. For residents who value space, privacy and low population density over coastal activity, the daily pattern here is self-directed: the property functions as a smallholding-style home base with modern connectivity through WiFi and telephone.
The surroundings combine rural quiet with practical proximity to services. Straight-line data shows the supermarket at 202 m, pharmacy at 183 m, hospital at 455 m and an EV charging point at 753 m, indicating a semi-urban edge rather than an isolated finca. This is significant for daily life: errands, healthcare and even electric-vehicle charging are within a short walk. Yecla town, roughly 12 km away, supplies the fuller range, schools, restaurants, shops and cultural facilities, reachable in about a 15-minute drive. The landscape inland from the coast consists of vineyards, almond groves and low hills; traffic is light and the pace corresponds to an agricultural municipality of around 35,000 inhabitants. An electric vehicle charging point within 750 metres suggests the area's infrastructure is gradually modernising. For transport, a car remains practical for reaching Yecla, the coast or the airports (Alicante is the most used option for this area), but day-to-day life does not hinge on one.
The map shows the property on the rural edge of Yecla municipality, inland in Murcia. The cluster of everyday services, supermarket, pharmacy and hospital, lies within a short walk of the plot, while the vineyard-covered hills of the Yecla DO wine region stretch beyond. The Mediterranean coast appears at the far south-eastern edge, roughly an hour's drive away.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Yecla occupies the north-eastern corner of Murcia, bordering Alicante province and Albacete. It is one of the region's more isolated municipalities in transport terms, approximately 95 km from Murcia city and about 90 km from Alicante, which shapes its property prices, among the lowest in south-eastern Spain. The town's economy rests on furniture manufacturing and wine production. Within the local market, this property is positioned as an entry-level rural villa, markedly cheaper than coastal alternatives such as Los Alcazares on the Mar Menor.
Distances from the property: the nearest designated swimming areas, Zona de Baño Las Escanales and El Arenal, are both approximately 53 km away; Platja de Sant Gabriel on the Mediterranean coast is 61 km. Golf facilities, Font del Llop Golf Resort and Club de Golf Alenda, are around 47 km, with Escuela de Golf Elche at 52 km. Alicante-Elche airport, the principal gateway for this region, is roughly an hour's drive. Within the immediate vicinity, the supermarket, pharmacy and hospital are under 500 m away. In practical terms, coastal recreation is a planned day trip rather than a spontaneous outing, while daily services are closer than in most rural locations.
Yecla sits at around 600 metres altitude in the inland Murcia highlands, giving it a continental-Mediterranean climate: hotter summers and cooler winters than the coast, with low rainfall and abundant sunshine, the region records well over 2,800 sunshine hours annually. The swimming pool effectively extends the usable outdoor season from late spring to early autumn. The plot's slope is gentle to moderate, typical of inland agricultural land, and the surrounding vineyards and low hills define the views. The elevation means summer evenings cool down more than on the coast, which suits fireplace use in the cooler months. Air quality in this low-density agricultural area is generally good, with little industry-related pollution beyond the town's furniture manufacturing sector.

There are no beaches within daily-reach distance; the closest bathing zones are roughly 53 km away, with Mediterranean beaches near Alicante at about 61 km. Coastal trips are therefore half-day or full-day excursions. Golfers face similar distances: Font del Llop Golf Resort and Club de Golf Alenda are approximately 47 km from the property. Recreation closer to home is land-based: the property's own pool and BBQ area, walking and cycling through the surrounding vineyards, and the cultural offering of Yecla itself, which includes wineries (the town is part of the Yecla DO wine region), historical churches and local festivals. The nearest EV charging point at 753 m supports regional excursions by electric car.

Within the wider south-eastern Spanish market, this villa occupies the value end of the spectrum. At from €159,000 for a detached house with a pool and 2,200 m² of land, it is priced at a fraction of coastal equivalents. The comparable project listed, Golden Green Villas in Los Alcazares on the Mar Menor, starts from €539,900, roughly three and a half times higher, with the difference explained almost entirely by location rather than floor area. Los Alcazares offers beachfront living on a shallow, warm lagoon with direct flight access via Corvera or Alicante; Yecla offers land, privacy and inland tranquillity instead. Against other inland options in northern Murcia and neighbouring Alicante province, Pinoso, Jumilla, Villena, Sax, this property sits within the normal range for furnished country villas with a legal title and a functioning pool, generally €130,000, €250,000 depending on plot size, condition and distance to town. Its distinguishing feature is the proximity of services: a supermarket at 202 m and a hospital at 455 m are unusual for a property marketed as rural, and reduce the practical isolation that buyers of inland fincas often encounter. Yecla itself is a genuine working town rather than a resort, with wine production (Yecla DO), furniture manufacturing and a full range of schools and services. Buyers comparing this with the coast should weigh the €380,000 price gap against the 53 km distance to the sea, the 1970 construction and the single bathroom. For a lifestyle built around land, pool and low costs, inland Murcia at this price point has few direct competitors; for a Mediterranean beach routine, the coastal premium is the relevant alternative.
