This detached villa stands on a fenced plot of 1,270 square metres on the edge of Yecla, a town of roughly 35,000 inhabitants in the Murcia region of inland south-eastern Spain. The property offers 207 square metres of built area, including 111 square metres of living space with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, a 26 square metre porch and a 23 square metre swimming pool. Built in 1970 and delivered key-ready, the home is connected to mains water and electricity and is reached via paved roads. The fixed asking price is 249,000 euro.
Within the wider Murcia and southern Costa Blanca region, this villa occupies the affordable inland segment. The fixed asking price of 249,000 euro buys 111 square metres of living space, four bedrooms, a pool and a 1,270 square metre plot. The closest comparable in the data set, Golden Green Villas in Los Alcazares on the Mar Menor, starts at 539,900 euro for new-build villas in a coastal town roughly 50 kilometres from here. That price gap illustrates the regional trade-off: coastal position and new construction command more than double the price of this inland property. The difference in location profile is equally significant. Los Alcazares offers beaches within walking distance, an expat-oriented service economy and Alicante airport under 30 minutes away. Yecla offers none of those, but provides a year-round Spanish town of 35,000 inhabitants with a hospital, schools and markets, where the property sits within walking distance of daily services. Buyers choosing Yecla over the coast exchange sea access for space, privacy and a lower entry price. Compared with other inland towns in the region such as Pinoso, Sax or Villena, which share similar price levels and landscapes, Yecla is among the larger municipalities, with fuller hospital and retail provision. The villa's specification, with two kitchens, extensive covered parking and a wood-fired oven, points toward extended-family use or long-term residence rather than the holiday-let market that dominates coastal demand. This positions the property in the owner-occupier segment of the inland market, where value is measured in built space and land rather than in rental yield or proximity to the sea.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property lies about 3 kilometres from Yecla's town centre in a quiet, established residential area on an inland location. A supermarket sits roughly 200 metres away and a hospital approximately 455 metres away, both within walking distance. The nearest beaches are around 53 kilometres away, as the crow flies, so this is a town-and-countryside setting rather than a coastal one.
The house suits households seeking space and privacy. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a 40 square metre living-dining room, two kitchens and a pellet stove cover year-round living. Outside there is a swimming pool with filtration, a barbecue area with a traditional wood-burning oven, a 26 square metre porch and parking under cover for up to four cars.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1970 and is offered as an existing, key-ready home. The construction date is indicative in nature. The current configuration includes stoneware floors, pine interior doors, aluminium folding exterior carpentry and a fireplace in the main living room, reflecting the property's age and later upgrades.
The property does not offer sea views, coastal proximity or golf course access within a short distance; the nearest golf facilities are 52 to 60 kilometres away, measured in a straight line. There is no lift, no communal facilities and no mention of air conditioning in the source data. The pharmacy listed is 23 kilometres away. The nearest beach is roughly 53 kilometres away.
This property fits a buyer whose priority is space, privacy and low cost per square metre rather than coastal proximity. A household planning full-time residence in Spain on a moderate budget gets four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a pool and a large plot for under 250,000 euro, with a hospital and supermarket within walking distance. That combination is difficult to find within an hour of the coast at this price level. It also suits buyers with family or guests visiting regularly. The two kitchens and four bedrooms allow separate use of parts of the house, and the covered parking for four cars accommodates several visiting vehicles. The barbecue area and pool support extended summer stays without depending on beach tourism infrastructure. Buyers who want to live in an authentic Spanish town rather than an international expat enclave may find Yecla's profile relevant: a working town of about 35,000 people with wine production, markets and local gastronomy, where daily life continues year-round. It fits less well for buyers who want to swim in the sea within a short drive, play golf nearby or rely on public transport for regional mobility. The nearest beach is roughly 53 kilometres away as the crow flies and the nearest golf course 52 kilometres. Those intending frequent weekend trips to the coast should factor an hour's driving each way.
The villa dates from 1970 and its finish level reflects that period combined with subsequent upgrades. Floors are stoneware throughout, a hard-wearing ceramic material common in Spanish homes of this generation. Interior doors are pine, a solid-wood detail typical of the era, and exterior carpentry is aluminium with folding openings, a later replacement that improves weather resistance and ease of use compared with original wooden frames. Heating is arranged through three systems: an open fireplace in the 40 square metre living-dining room, a pellet stove for colder winter periods, and presumably electric or other supplementary sources for bedrooms, though the source data does not specify all rooms. Inland Murcia experiences colder winters than the coast, with occasional frost, so the presence of two solid-fuel heating systems is a practical feature rather than a decorative one. No air conditioning is mentioned in the available data, and summer temperatures in Yecla regularly exceed 30 degrees Celsius, so buyers should verify what cooling provision exists. The pool measures 23 square metres and holds 40,000 litres, with a filtration system installed. The barbecue area of 28 square metres includes a fireplace and a traditional wood-burning oven, built structures rather than freestanding equipment. The property is fully connected to mains water and electricity, which distinguishes it from many inland fincas that depend on wells and solar installations. Storage totals 19 square metres in the main outbuilding plus an additional storage room. The covered car park holds up to four cars. As with any 1970s building, the electrical installation, plumbing and roof condition should be assessed through a technical survey before purchase; the source data does not state when these were last renewed.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of 249,000 euro. This is a single existing home, not a development with a price list, so there is no from-price or range of unit types. The property is key-ready, which means no waiting period for construction and no phased delivery. The price reflects the inland Murcia market, where land and built space cost considerably less than on the coast. For comparison, a new-build villa project in Los Alcazares on the Mar Menor starts at 539,900 euro, more than double this asking price, illustrating the price difference between inland and coastal positions in the wider region.
Daily life at this property is organised around town convenience combined with a substantial private plot. The house stands in an urban environment on the outskirts of Yecla, where supermarkets and the hospital are within a few hundred metres' walk. That proximity shapes the rhythm of the day: shopping, medical appointments and school runs can be done on foot, while the plot itself offers seclusion behind its fence and mature pine trees that provide natural shade. The interior distributes 111 square metres of living space over four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a 40 square metre living-dining room at its centre, heated by a fireplace and a pellet stove. Two kitchens give flexibility for separate cooking arrangements or extended-family use. A 26 square metre porch with summer awnings extends the living area outdoors during warm months. Outside, the plot works as a self-contained outdoor space. The 23 square metre swimming pool holds 40,000 litres and has a filtration system. The 28 square metre barbecue area, with a fireplace and a traditional wood-burning oven, supports outdoor cooking through much of the year. A covered car park accommodates up to four vehicles, and there is a further 19 square metres of storage space plus an additional storage room. Yecla itself, a town of about 35,000 people known for its wine production, provides schools, shops, restaurants and weekly markets. The surrounding landscape of mountains, vineyards and almond groves supports walking and cycling. A car is useful for regional trips but is not necessary for daily errands. The coast and Alicante airport are about an hour away by car, which places this property firmly in the category of inland living rather than holiday-coast living.
The immediate surroundings combine residential quiet with practical accessibility. A supermarket lies roughly 200 metres from the property and the hospital about 455 metres, both reachable on foot in a few minutes. An electric vehicle charging point is 753 metres away. These short distances mean that daily essentials do not require a car, which is uncommon for properties with this much land. Yecla is a town of approximately 35,000 inhabitants in the north-east of the Murcia region, close to the border with Alicante province. It has schools, shops, restaurants, medical services and weekly markets. The town is known for its wine production, historical buildings and local festivals, and its economy is not dependent on tourism, so services and businesses operate year-round. The landscape around the town consists of mountains, vineyards and almond groves, with walking and cycling routes accessible from the outskirts. The property sits roughly 3 kilometres from the town centre, reached via paved roads. The regional picture is defined by distance: the nearest beaches, the Zona de Bano Las Escanales and El Arenal, are around 53 kilometres away in a straight line, and Platja de la Gola 65 kilometres. The nearest golf courses are between 52 and 60 kilometres away, in and around Elche. Alicante airport is about an hour's drive. A car is therefore useful for regional travel, though the airport distance is significant by Costa del Sol standards.
The map shows the property on the edge of Yecla, with the town centre about 3 kilometres away. The supermarket and hospital lie within walking distance, while the coast sits beyond the frame at roughly 53 kilometres as the crow flies. The setting combines urban services with an inland landscape of vineyards and hills.

Yecla sits in the north-eastern corner of the Murcia region, bordering Alicante province, and functions as the northern gateway between Murcia and the Costa Blanca interior. Within the wider region it positions itself as an inland wine and furniture-making town rather than a coastal resort, roughly an hour by car from both the beaches of the Costa Blanca and Alicante airport. Compared with the Costa del Sol, prices here are substantially lower and the population is predominantly Spanish-speaking, which defines the daily living environment. For buyers comparing regions, Yecla represents the affordable inland alternative to the coastal price levels of Murcia's Mar Menor and the Costa Blanca south.
Within the town, distances are short: the supermarket is about 200 metres away, the hospital roughly 455 metres and an EV charging point 753 metres, all straight-line figures. These make the property practical for daily life without a vehicle. The pharmacy listed in the data is 23 kilometres away, which suggests the nearest 24-hour pharmacy provision is in a neighbouring municipality, though Yecla's town centre is only 3 kilometres from the house. Coastal access requires planning. The nearest bathing areas, Las Escanales and El Arenal, are approximately 53 kilometres away as the crow flies, with Platja de la Gola at 65 kilometres; actual road distances are longer. By car this translates into roughly an hour's driving each way. Golf facilities cluster around Elche and Alicante, 52 to 60 kilometres distant. Airport access is a notable consideration. The location analysis describes the property as far from the airport; Alicante airport is roughly an hour away by car. For buyers making frequent international trips, this adds travel time compared with coastal locations. Paved roads provide access to the property itself, and the covered parking for four cars supports households with multiple vehicles or visiting guests.
Yecla lies inland at moderate elevation in the foothills between Murcia and Alicante provinces, surrounded by mountains, vineyards and almond groves. The inland position produces a continental-Mediterranean climate: hotter summers and cooler winters than the coast, with summer temperatures regularly above 30 degrees Celsius and winter nights that can approach freezing. The pellet stove and fireplace in this property respond directly to those winter conditions. Rainfall is low, concentrated in autumn and spring, and the area records a high number of sunshine hours per year, consistent with south-eastern Spain's interior. The growing season is long, visible in the mature pines and planted garden on the plot, which the owner has maintained with natural shade as a deliberate feature. The nearest swimming in natural surroundings, beyond the property's own pool, is roughly 53 kilometres away. Hiking and cycling in the surrounding hills are the most accessible outdoor activities, with routes starting close to the town. The combination of elevation and inland distance means the air is generally dry and the night sky dark, characteristics typical of the Yecla wine region.

This is not a beach property. The closest bathing zones, Las Escanales and El Arenal, lie around 53 kilometres away in a straight line, and Platja de la Gola about 65 kilometres. A day trip to the coast is feasible at roughly an hour's drive each way, but swimming and beach recreation are occasional activities rather than part of daily life here. Golf follows the same pattern: the nearest facilities are Escuela de Golf Elche at 52 kilometres, Club de Golf El Plantio at 59 kilometres and E.G. Monteprincipe Golf at 60 kilometres, all straight-line figures around Elche and Alicante. Regular golfers would face substantial driving. Recreation closer to home is land-based. The property itself functions as a private leisure space with a 23 square metre filtered pool, a 28 square metre barbecue area with wood-fired oven, and a planted garden with mature pines. The surrounding countryside of vineyards, almond groves and mountains supports walking, cycling and wine-route visits, and Yecla's bodegas are a regional attraction in their own right. The town has sports facilities and hosts festivals through the year, giving cultural recreation within a short drive.
