A key-ready detached villa in Polop, a municipality in the Marina Baixa comarca of Alicante province, Valencia. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 164 m² of living space on a 266 m² plot, with a fixed asking price of €485,279. Polop sits inland at approximately 549 metres above sea level, an urban setting with everyday amenities within walking distance, while the beaches of the Costa Blanca coastline lie roughly 7 km away as the crow flies. The town has around 3,538 residents and is positioned between the coastal resorts of Altea and Benidorm and the regional centres of Alicante and Valencia.
Within Polop itself, the documented new-build alternatives set a useful benchmark. Villa Elia II is listed from €585,000, Residencial Polop Hills from €470,000 and Residencial Polop Hills Nature from €477,500. At a fixed €485,279, this villa sits between the two Polop Hills price points, with a different proposition: an existing, completed home from 1970 rather than a newly constructed property awaiting delivery. The trade-off is straightforward. New-build buyers obtain current construction standards, modern insulation and developer specifications, but must accept delivery schedules and from-pricing that can move with the price list. Buyers of this villa obtain immediate availability and a known fixed price, but must assess the condition and any renovation history of a property over fifty years old. Location-wise, all documented alternatives lie in the same municipality, sharing Polop's profile: inland elevation of about 549 metres, mountain scenery, walkable town amenities and a roughly seven-kilometre straight-line distance to the beaches of Altea and Benidorm. Compared with the wider Costa Blanca, Polop's inland setting prices below equivalent coastal stock in Altea or Benidorm themselves, where sea proximity commands a premium. The regional context is favourable for accessibility: Alicante at 42 km and its airport at roughly 54 km keep the property connected, while Valencia at 97 km widens the travel options. For buyers deciding between this villa and the new-build projects nearby, the decisive factors are timing and condition rather than location, since the surroundings and distances are essentially shared.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in an urban area of Polop with a supermarket about 353 metres away and a pharmacy within roughly 475 metres. Beaches such as Platja de la Roda and Playa del Bol lie 7.2 to 7.3 km away in a straight line. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 54 km distant, so a car journey of well over half an hour should be expected for flights.
The layout provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms across two floors, suited to a household that wants separate sleeping and living zones. The 164 m² living area and 266 m² plot give private outdoor space without extensive grounds to maintain. Everyday shopping and pharmacy visits are feasible on foot, which reduces dependence on the car for routine errands.
This is an existing home rather than an off-plan purchase. Construction dates from 1970 and the property is described as key-ready, meaning buyers can complete a purchase and move in without waiting for building works. Completion dates and handover schedules are not a factor here, although renovation history and current condition should be verified during inspection.
The property does not offer seafront positioning, a private swimming pool in the documented data, or a basement. The plot of 266 m² is modest for a detached villa, limiting large-scale landscaping. Alicante-Elche airport lies roughly 54 km away as the crow flies, and electric-vehicle charging points are documented at 6.6 km or more, not on site.
This property fits a buyer who wants an immediately available home rather than an off-plan commitment. Typical situations include a household relocating to the Costa Blanca that needs a move-in-ready base with three bedrooms, or a second-home buyer who values an inland town with mountain scenery yet wants beaches within a ten-minute drive. It also suits buyers who prefer walkable daily amenities: supermarket and pharmacy within 500 metres reduce the need to drive for routine needs. The two-bathroom layout works for families with children or for couples who regularly host guests. Conversely, the profile is less suitable for those seeking a frontline beach property, a large plot for extensive gardening or a home with a documented private pool. The 1970 construction date means condition and any renovations should be assessed during viewings, which matters to buyers weighing an older property against new-build options nearby. International buyers using Alicante-Elche airport should factor in the roughly 54 km straight-line distance when planning travel. Overall, the property addresses the buyer who accepts an inland setting in exchange for a lower entry price than comparable coastal stock.
The documented data provides limited detail on materials and technical systems. The property was built in 1970 and is offered key-ready, which indicates habitable condition but does not specify the standard of insulation, glazing or installation work. Buyers should verify during inspection whether the electrical installation, plumbing and windows have been modernised since the original construction date, as these elements strongly influence both comfort and running costs in a property of this age. The living area of 164 m² across two floors, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, suggests a traditional room distribution rather than the open-plan layouts common in current new builds. The image material shows a modern white facade with forest views, a large window in a bedroom, and an open kitchen-living area, which indicates at least partial contemporary updating; the extent and quality of any renovation should be confirmed on site. No data is available on heating, air conditioning or solar systems. Electric-vehicle charging is not present at the property itself; the nearest documented charging points stand roughly 6.6 to 7 km away. Structural aspects typical of 1970 construction in the region, including wall thickness and thermal behaviour at 549 metres elevation, deserve attention, as inland nights are cooler than on the coast.
The asking price is fixed at €485,279 for this existing, key-ready detached villa. This is not a from-price on a price list; it applies to the single property as offered. The purchase includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 164 m² of living space and a 266 m² plot. Compared with new-build alternatives in Polop, which start from roughly €470,000 to €585,000 in comparable projects, this property sits within the local market band while offering immediate availability instead of a construction waiting period. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs, including transfer tax and notary fees.
Daily life at this address revolves around an inland town setting that combines walkable amenities with proximity to the coast. The supermarket sits about 353 metres from the door and a pharmacy within 475 metres, so morning shopping does not require the car. Within two kilometres there are roughly ten restaurants, four cafés, two pharmacies and a school, which gives the area a functioning year-round rhythm rather than a purely seasonal one. The municipality counts around 3,538 inhabitants, so the scale is that of a small town where facilities are local rather than metropolitan. The elevation of roughly 549 metres brings mountain views and cooler evenings than the coastal strip. For leisure, the Poliesportiu Nou Terol sports centre lies about 0.7 km away, a forest adventure park at 1.5 km and the Academia Tenis Ferrer tennis academy at 1.6 km. Beach days require a short drive: Platja de la Roda, Playa del Bol and Platja de l'Espigó are all between 7.2 and 7.5 km away in a straight line, meaning roughly ten minutes by road. A car is convenient for coastal and airport trips, though not strictly necessary for daily errands. Public transport is present in the form of five lines and six stops, providing a basic alternative for local journeys.
Polop lies inland in the Marina Baixa comarca, surrounded by mountain terrain that shapes both the views and the climate. The town itself offers the daily infrastructure of a small Spanish municipality: supermarket, pharmacy, school, cafés and restaurants within a two-kilometre radius, plus a municipal sports centre about 700 metres from the property. The nearest larger hospitals are documented at 8.8 km, and international schools such as Costa Blanca International College (7.3 km) and Lope de Vega International School (8.6 km) broaden the options for families. Leisure facilities cluster towards the coast: Port d'Altea marina at 7.5 km, three golf courses between roughly 7.3 and 9.0 km, and the beaches of Altea and Benidorm's western shore. Alicante, with around 339,000 inhabitants, lies 42 km away in a straight line, Elche at 62 km and Valencia at 97 km, giving access to major urban services within day-trip range. With about 3,538 residents, Polop maintains a village scale where the pace outside the summer months is noticeably calmer than in the coastal resort towns nearby.
The map shows the villa's position within Polop's urban fabric, with the supermarket and pharmacy a few minutes' walk away. The coastline around Altea and Benidorm appears roughly seven kilometres to the east, with golf courses and international schools along the way. Alicante-Elche airport lies about 54 km to the south-west.

Within the Costa Blanca region, Polop occupies an inland position in Marina Baixa, between the coast and the mountain interior. Alicante lies 42 km away in a straight line and Valencia 97 km, placing the town within reach of both provincial centres. Locally, Altea and Benidorm form the coastal anchors roughly seven to ten kilometres downhill, providing beaches, marinas, hospitals and international schools. Compared with coastal municipalities, Polop offers lower property prices and a smaller scale, around 3,538 residents, at the cost of a daily drive to the sea. For buyers weighing the Costa Blanca against the Costa del Sol, this area combines the same Mediterranean climate with shorter transfers from Alicante-Elche airport for many northern European routes.
Distances in this section are straight-line (as the crow flies); road distances are longer. The nearest beaches, Platja de la Roda at 7.2 km, Playa del Bol at 7.3 km and Platja de l'Espigó at 7.5 km, lie along the Altea and Benidorm coast, reachable by car in roughly ten to fifteen minutes. Golf courses include Meliá Villaitana (7.8 km), Altea Club de Golf (8.2 km) and Las Rejas in Benidorm (9.0 km). Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 54 km away as the crow flies, a drive of around forty minutes; Valencia airport lies about 94 km distant. A car is convenient for coastal trips and airport transfers, though the supermarket at 353 metres and pharmacy at 475 metres make daily errands possible on foot. Public transport consists of five lines with six stops, suitable for local connections but limited for regional travel.

Polop stands at roughly 549 metres above sea level, a height that distinguishes it from the coastal strip and brings mountain views together with cooler nights. The average annual temperature is documented at 16.7 °C, a few degrees below typical coastal figures, which affects winter comfort and heating needs. The swimming season in the surrounding waters lasts about four months with sea temperatures of at least 20 °C, concentrated in the summer half-year. Rainfall patterns follow the Mediterranean norm, with dry summers and most precipitation in autumn. The inland position places walking terrain, forest parkland, including the TirolinasGo forest park at 1.5 km, and mountain slopes within immediate reach, while the sea remains a short drive away. This combination suits residents who prefer a green, elevated setting over direct coastal living.
