Casa Eme is a key-ready new-build villa in La Nucia, in the Marina Baixa region of Alicante province. The house offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms across 351 m² of living space on an 800 m² plot, arranged over a basement, ground floor and first floor. The architecture combines interlocking volumes with large glazed openings, giving sea views over the surrounding landscape. Beaches such as Platja de la Roda are approximately 3.4 km away as the crow flies. Prices start from €1,325,000, with completion indicated for 2025.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits on Calle San Marino in a recently urbanised part of La Nucia, between Altea, Alfaz del Pi and Benidorm. A supermarket lies about 1 km away, a pharmacy 2.7 km and a hospital 7.3 km, all measured in a straight line. The Ciudad Deportiva Camilo Cano sports complex is only 200 metres away. The coast is roughly 3.4 km distant, meaning the beaches are a short drive rather than walking distance.
The house is designed for year-round living in a Mediterranean climate. It includes underfloor heating, hot and cold air conditioning, a fireplace for cooler months and a fitted gym. Three ensuite-arranged bathrooms, fitted wardrobes, a utility room and a storage room support daily household routines. The covered and private terraces, private pool and south orientation extend the usable living space outdoors through most of the year.
Casa Eme is completed and delivered key-ready, with construction finished in 2025 as the indicative delivery date. The buyer therefore purchases a finished home rather than an off-plan unit, which removes construction-phase waiting time. The property retains new-build condition throughout, including its contemporary façade of interlocking cubes, large window openings and full climate-control installation. Purchase costs and taxes for a new-built property apply.
The property is a single villa with one price point, from €1,325,000, so there is no unit variation or cheaper typology within the project. The plot slopes upward from street level: pedestrian access runs via a staircase from Calle San Marino to the ground floor. Parking is open-air on the driveway rather than in a closed garage. Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 54 km away in a straight line, so transfers take about an hour by road.

This villa fits buyers seeking a finished, move-in-ready home in the hills immediately behind the Costa Blanca coast, rather than a frontline beach property. It suits households that want generous interior space, 351 m², combined with a manageable 800 m² plot, and that value sports infrastructure nearby: a municipal sports complex at 200 metres and a tennis academy at 500 metres are unusual neighbours for a private villa. Families with school-age children will note Costa Blanca International College at 5.2 km and Lope de Vega International School at 6.6 km, both straight-line distances. The property also works for buyers who split the year between two countries: Alicante-Elche airport lies roughly 54 km away, allowing a drive of around an hour on arrival days, and the key-ready status means no waiting period between purchase and first use. The layout with ensuite bathrooms and a home gym lends itself to hosting guests or extended family for longer stays. It is less suited to buyers who want to walk to the beach daily, the coast is a drive of several minutes, or who require a closed garage, since parking here is open-air on the driveway. The staircase-only pedestrian access is also relevant for anyone with reduced mobility. Buyers prioritising a lowest possible entry price will find alternatives in the region at significantly lower starting figures, though with different locations and specifications.
The construction follows a contemporary design language: the façade is composed of several volumes of differing sizes and heights, interspersed to create an irregular geometry. This arrangement produces a deliberate play of light and shadow across the exterior, while the large, strategically placed windows establish sightlines from the interior towards the sea and the surrounding landscape. The images of the completed house show a minimalist interior treatment, including textured wall finishes in the bedroom and an open-plan kitchen with a large window opening. Technically, the villa is equipped with underfloor heating alongside hot and cold air conditioning, a combination that covers both winter and summer conditions at 549 metres elevation, where temperatures average 16.7°C annually. A fireplace adds a secondary heat source for the coldest weeks. The three bathrooms include an ensuite arrangement connected to the bedrooms, and fitted wardrobes are installed throughout the sleeping areas. Practical service spaces are integrated: a utility room, a storage room and a basement level. Outside, the private pool, covered terrace and private terraces extend the living area, and the cactus planting visible in the exterior images indicates low-water garden treatment. The house is delivered new, so all installations, climate systems, glazing and appliances, are at the start of their technical lifespan. As the property is already completed, the buyer can inspect the actual finishes and materials on site before committing, rather than relying on plans and specifications alone. Construction status is recorded as key-ready, with the completion date given as 2025 on an indicative basis.
Casa Eme is offered as a new-build villa with prices from €1,325,000. As the project consists of a single completed house, this figure represents the actual purchase price of the property rather than the entry point of a unit range. For this budget the buyer acquires 351 m² of built living space on an 800 m² plot, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private pool, a gym, underfloor heating, air conditioning and a fireplace included. Because the villa is key-ready, the period between purchase and occupation is determined by the notarial process rather than a construction schedule. Delivery is indicated for completion in 2025. Additional costs such as new-build VAT, notary fees and land registry charges apply on top of the purchase price.
Daily life at Casa Eme revolves around a split-level layout that steps with the terrain. The basement, ground floor and first floor each serve distinct functions: parking and storage below, living and kitchen areas at garden level, and bedrooms upstairs. Because pedestrian access is via a staircase from the street, arriving home on foot involves a short climb, while the car reaches the plot directly via the driveway on Calle San Marino. The south orientation means the main living spaces and terraces receive sun through the middle of the day, which in practice shapes how the rooms are used across the seasons. Mornings can be spent on the private terrace with views over the garden and pool; the kitchen's large window keeps the interior connected to the outside. The gym allows training at home rather than driving to a club, although the Ciudad Deportiva Camilo Cano complex is only 200 metres away for swimming, athletics or team sports. The Academia Tenis Ferrer tennis academy sits 500 metres from the plot. Shopping runs are short: a supermarket within about 1 km covers everyday needs, with two pharmacies within roughly 2.7 km. The villa's elevated position at 549 metres above sea level produces cooler evenings than the coastline in summer, while the fireplace and underfloor heating carry the winter months. Beach outings require a car, with Platja de la Roda at 3.4 km and Playa del Bol at 3.7 km in a straight line. The area around the plot is recently urbanised, so immediate surroundings are residential and relatively quiet rather than a mature town centre; La Nucia's historic core and Benidorm's services are both within easy reach by car.
La Nucia is a municipality of around 19,000 registered inhabitants (2025 INE figure) in the Marina Baixa comarca, bordered by Altea, Callosa d'en Sarrià, Benidorm, Polop and L'Alfàs del Pi. The town sits between the Serra de Bernia and the Puigcampana mountain ranges, which frames daily life with mountain views in almost every direction. Within 2 km of the villa, the available data lists ten restaurants, four cafés, two pharmacies and one school, enough for daily errands without leaving the immediate area. The supermarket at 1 km handles routine shopping. For healthcare, the hospital lies 7.3 km away in a straight line. Sports provision is a defining feature of the location: besides the Camilo Cano sports city at 200 metres and the Ferrer tennis academy at 500 metres, the TirolinasGo forestal park at 800 metres offers zip-line recreation. Public transport consists of five lines with six stops, which covers local movement, but a car remains the practical choice for beach visits, airport transfers and trips to neighbouring towns. Alicante city lies 44 km away in a straight line, Benidorm is the nearest large urban centre, and Valencia is 97 km distant. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 16.7°C and a swimming season of about four months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, the villa's private pool effectively extends that season at home.
The map shows the villa's position on Calle San Marino, in the recently developed residential area of La Nucia. Distances shown, such as 3.4 km to Platja de la Roda or 200 metres to the Camilo Cano sports complex, are straight-line measurements; road distances are longer. The plot lies between the coast road to Altea and the town centre.

La Nucia occupies a transitional position in the Marina Baixa: inland enough to feel like a residential town rather than a resort, yet only a few kilometres from the beaches of Altea and Benidorm. Within the region, it sits closer to Alicante (44 km straight-line) than to Valencia (97 km), placing it in the southern half of the Costa Blanca. The town's growth has been driven largely by international residents, and the presence of two international schools within 7 km confirms that profile. Compared with coastal neighbours, La Nucia offers more space per plot and lower density, at the cost of a daily drive to the sea.
The nearest beaches are Platja de la Roda at 3.4 km, Playa del Bol at 3.7 km and Platja de l'Espigó at 3.9 km, all straight-line distances; the actual road distance is longer, and in practice these are five-to-ten minute drives. Golfers can reach Altea Club de Golf at 5.9 km, Meliá Villaitana at 7.4 km and the Las Rejas course in Benidorm at 8.3 km, giving three options within a short radius. Port d'Altea marina lies 6 km away. Alicante-Elche airport (ALC) is approximately 54 km in a straight line, making it the most practical arrival airport; Valencia (VLC) at about 94 km is a secondary option. Charging points for electric vehicles sit within 2.9 km of the villa, with several Iberdrola fast chargers 5–7 km away. A car is described as convenient though not strictly necessary for everything, given the local bus lines and the amenities within walking and cycling range. The plot's own access is via Calle San Marino, with the driveway providing ground-level open-air parking and the pedestrian entrance reached by stairs.

At 549 metres above sea level, the villa stands noticeably higher than the coastal strip, which has a tempering effect: evenings cool down more in summer, and winters are somewhat crisper than at sea level. The average annual temperature of 16.7°C reflects this elevated position. The surrounding geography is defined by the Serra de Bernia and Puigcampana ranges, which rise directly behind the town and provide walking and hiking terrain accessible within minutes of the plot. The location between sea and mountains creates the microclimatic conditions the area is known for, sheltered from cold northerly winds yet open to sea breezes. The swimming season in local waters lasts around four months at 20°C or above, roughly June through September, while the villa's private pool and the Camilo Cano indoor facilities extend water-based activity beyond that window. Rainfall concentrates in the autumn months, typical for the Alicante coast. The garden's cactus planting visible in the project photographs matches this climate: drought-tolerant species that require little irrigation through the dry summer.

The coastline closest to La Nucia belongs largely to Altea and l'Alfàs del Pi. Platja de la Roda at 3.4 km is the nearest sandy beach, followed by Playa del Bol at 3.7 km and Platja de l'Espigó at 3.9 km, all measured as the crow flies. These beaches sit on a coast known for its Blue Flag awards, though the specific flag status varies by season. Recreational options inland are unusually strong for a town of this size: the Ciudad Deportiva Camilo Cano at 200 metres includes an athletics stadium and indoor pools, the Academia Tenis Ferrer at 500 metres provides tennis coaching, and TirolinasGo forestal park at 800 metres offers treetop circuits. Three golf courses within roughly 8 km, Altea Club de Golf, Meliá Villaitana and Las Rejas in Benidorm, cover both 18-hole play and practice facilities. Port d'Altea, 6 km away, adds sailing and mooring options. For broader leisure, Benidorm's theme parks, beaches and nightlife are a short drive, while the mountain villages of the Marina Baixa offer quieter day trips.

Within La Nucia itself, the most direct comparable is NOA Garden, registered with a local agency and priced from €1,095,000, roughly €230,000 below Casa Eme's entry figure, though specification, plot size and view orientation differ between the two and should be compared unit by unit. Further afield on the southern Costa Blanca, Oceanic Apartments in Rojales start at €475,000 and Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva from €453,000; both sit considerably inland, in the Orihuela area rather than the Marina Baixa, and represent a different market segment with lower land values and no mountain-sea setting. Casa Eme's pricing needs to be read against La Nucia's specific position in the regional hierarchy: the town combines proximity to Altea's beaches (3.4 km straight-line to Platja de la Roda) with the sports infrastructure of a much larger municipality and two international schools within 7 km. This profile attracts permanent international residents rather than purely holiday buyers, which supports demand for larger family villas. Regionally, Alicante province's median income of €15,750 per inhabitant underlines how far above the local market a €1.3m villa sits, the buyer pool is international by necessity. Against Benidorm, La Nucia offers lower density and larger plots at similar distances from the coast; against Altea's hillside urbanisations, it offers newer infrastructure and the Camilo Cano complex. The villa's south orientation and sea views are the features that distinguish it from lower-priced stock inland, where views and coastal proximity diminish.
