This historic country estate in Monóvar spans an enormous plot of 2,000,000 m² with a principal residence of approximately 1000 m². The location offers rural tranquility with inhabited outbuildings and authentic features. With 15 bedrooms and various outbuildings, this property is situated on terrain consisting of pine forests, almond groves, and mountainous areas. The site offers views across the valley towards Elda and Monóvar. Amenities such as a pharmacy and supermarket are within short reach, while the coastline is located over 30 kilometers away.
Compared to projects in the immediate vicinity of the coast, such as in Benissa or Altea, this estate offers significantly more land per euro, but requires considerably more renovation and maintenance work. While a villa in Benissa like the Falco 8 Luxury House offers a turn-key product with modern amenities, this object is a 'do-it-yourself' project. The price of €2,999,995 is higher than most villas in Elda or Petrer, but this reflects the size of the land. The lifestyle differences are significant; where coastal projects focus on luxury and marinas, this project focuses on rural autonomy and space.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The estate is located in the municipality of Monóvar, in the province of Alicante. The immediate surroundings are characterized by rural estates and nature. A pharmacy is situated 163 meters away and a supermarket at 79 meters. This provides practical basic amenities within walking distance. The location is inland, which results in a greater distance to the airport and beaches. The terrain lies at an altitude of 387 meters above sea level.
The main structure offers a living area of 1000 m², divided over multiple levels. The layout includes 15 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Various outbuildings are present, including a space currently serving as a family home and another building with a large hall for events. Additionally, there are warehouses and garages. The finishings date partly from the 19th century, meaning renovation is necessary to realize modern living standards.
This project concerns an existing historic estate from the 19th century, not new construction. The state of maintenance varies per building. The main house retains original features but requires thorough renovation. The outbuildings offer opportunities for redevelopment, though this requires investment in infrastructure and modernization. Delivery is in its current state (as is).
Due to the dimensions of the plot and the mountain location, the estate is not directly connected to public sewage or district heating. Depending on usage, the distance to highways and the airport can be a logistical constraint. The current layout and finishings do not meet modern comfort requirements without extensive modifications. The terrain is vast and requires maintenance.
This estate fits scenarios where large scale and autonomy are central. It is suitable for property development, such as a rural hotel or a retreat center, where the presence of multiple buildings and seclusion are assets. Also for agricultural purposes or hunting activities, the size of the terrain offers possibilities. For buyers seeking a move-in-ready home for residence, this object is less suitable due to the necessary renovation works. The location requires affinity with rural life and willingness to manage extensive land.
The main residence dates back to the 1800s and still possesses original architectural elements. The construction reflects the building style of that period. The finishings of bathrooms and kitchens are in an original state and do not meet current living standards. Materials such as natural stone and wood are present but require maintenance. Technical installations are outdated and must be modernized. The quality of the outbuildings is functional, intended for storage or agricultural use.
The asking price for this estate is set at €2,999,995. This amount represents the acquisition of 2,000,000 m² of land and the buildings totaling approximately 1000 m². Given the nature of the object, there is no variation in price based on housing type; it is a unique, fixed price for the total inventory. When budgeting, account for additional costs for notary, taxes, and necessary renovation expenses.
Daily life on this location is defined by the vastness of the terrain and its seclusion from the city. With 200 hectares of land, encompassing forests and 25 hectares of almond trees, the focus lies on rural management and nature. The immediate proximity to Monóvar (a few kilometers away) ensures that daily groceries and services can be performed efficiently. The presence of multiple bedrooms and a large dining hall provides the facility for hosting large groups or organizing courses. The elevation of 387 meters ensures cooler evenings compared to the coast. It is an environment suited for individuals seeking isolation and space for commercial or agricultural projects.
The immediate living environment is formed by the town of Monóvar, known for wine production and nature. With 6 restaurants and 3 cafés within a 2-kilometer radius, there is limited gastronomic variety. The infrastructure is geared towards road traffic. There are 9 public transport lines in the region, but a private car is essential for mobility. The distance to the beach is approximately 31 kilometers, making the sea accessible for day trips, but not a daily influence on the rhythm of life.
The map shows the size of the 200-hectare plot within the municipality of Monóvar. The nearest cities, Elda and Novelda, lie at approximately 10 and 20 kilometers respectively. The distance to the Mediterranean Sea is clearly indicated by the distance to Santa Pola and Alicante.
Monóvar lies in the Vinalopó Mitjà, a region known for its vineyards and mountain landscape. The location is inland, between the coastal towns and the interior. This creates a transitional zone with influences from both the Mediterranean coastal culture and the traditional Spanish inland culture. It is a quieter alternative to the bustle of the coast.
The estate is accessible via regional roads. The beaches of Cala El Palmeral, Platja de Sant Gabriel, and Cala de Agua Amarga are all located at a straight-line distance of 31 kilometers. For golf enthusiasts, Font del Llop Golf Resort is reachable at 16 kilometers. The nearest hospital facility is located at 7.2 kilometers. A train station is present in Monòver at 2.1 kilometers distance. Alicante-Elche Airport lies at approximately 30 kilometers straight-line distance. A car is necessary.

Recreational opportunities on the terrain itself are focused on nature, such as hiking and hunting. For beach recreation, one depends on the coast of Alicante at 31 kilometers distance. Sports facilities like Energy Pádel Elda are located at 3.4 kilometers. The pool on the premises offers recreation on the private property. There are no recreational amenities like marinas within walking distance.
