This offering in Callosa d'en Sarrià, Alicante, presents a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial plot of 1,074 m² with the potential to construct a bespoke detached villa. Situated within an established residential area, the land provides a tranquil setting with elevated views. While not directly on the coast, its location offers a balance between serene living and accessibility to coastal amenities and services. This is a prospect for those seeking to design and build a home tailored to their specific requirements in a well-regarded region of the Costa Blanca.
Compared to developments directly on the Costa Blanca coastline, such as apartments in Torrevieja starting from €160,000-€169,000, this land offering in Callosa d'en Sarrià represents a different type of investment. While those properties provide immediate accommodation, this plot requires new construction, offering greater personalisation. Unlike the Oasis Laguna 2 development in Urbanización El Raso, which offers new build apartments from €227,000, this land is a blank canvas. Its price point of €199,000 for a substantial plot positions it for buyers who seek to develop a bespoke villa rather than purchase a ready-made property. The location in Callosa d'en Sarrià provides a more elevated and potentially tranquil environment compared to the flatter, more densely populated coastal areas of Torrevieja. This plot appeals to a specific buyer profile looking for land to build, valuing space and customisation over immediate occupancy, and willing to invest further in construction.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Positioned in Callosa d'en Sarrià, this plot is situated inland from the immediate coastline, nestled within the Marina Baixa comarca. Its location offers a connection to a more traditional Spanish setting, away from the denser coastal resorts. The plot's placement provides relative proximity to essential services while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere distinct from the bustling beachfront areas, offering an alternative perspective on Costa Blanca living.
This plot is suited for individuals or families looking to develop a custom-built residence from the ground up. It caters to those who prioritise design freedom, space, and the creation of a personalised living environment. The land's size and zoning potential for a detached villa align with aspirations for privacy and a connection to the natural surroundings, rather than opting for pre-constructed properties.
The land is designated as 'Gereed' (Ready) for development, with the existing structure dating indicatively to 1970. This implies that the plot is available for immediate planning and construction according to current urban planning regulations. Prospective buyers should engage with local authorities to confirm all building permits and requirements applicable to new construction on this specific site.
This offering is solely for land; no existing habitable structure is included. The plot's development is subject to local urban planning regulations, including maximum buildable area (approx. 312 m²), plot occupancy (40%), and height restrictions (7.5 metres). A basement is permitted in addition to the buildable area. The property is sold as-is, requiring the buyer to undertake all construction and associated costs.
This plot is suitable for buyers prioritising the creation of a custom-designed home in a serene environment. It appeals to those who envision a villa built to their exact specifications, offering privacy and space away from the more densely populated coastal strips. Individuals looking for a permanent residence or a substantial holiday retreat where they can integrate with a local Spanish community, rather than a resort-style setting, would find this attractive. It is for buyers who are prepared for the process of new construction, including design, obtaining permits, and managing the build, and who value a connection to the natural landscape and mountain views. Those seeking a lifestyle that combines accessibility to services and beaches with the tranquility of a more rural setting would also find this location appropriate.
As this is a plot of land, details regarding the quality of finishes and materials are not applicable to the current offering. Prospective buyers will be responsible for all aspects of construction quality and material selection for any new dwelling built on the site. The existing indicative completion date of 1970 relates to the land's designation and potential for development rather than any pre-existing structure of significant value. Future construction would be governed by current building codes and standards, allowing for modern materials and techniques to be employed. Buyers are advised to consult with architects and builders to understand the possibilities for high-quality finishes relevant to their bespoke villa design.
The land is offered at a price of €199,000. As this is a single plot of land, availability is limited to this specific offering. The price reflects the land's size (1,074 m²) and its potential for development in a sought-after region. Buyers should factor in the significant costs associated with design, planning permission, and construction of a new villa, which are additional to the land purchase price. Variations in pricing for similar plots would typically depend on exact location, size, and development potential within specific urban planning zones.
