Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The location in Monóvar, a municipality in the Vinalopó Mitjà region, places the property in a landscape with agricultural characteristics. Essential amenities such as a supermarket (79 m) and pharmacy (163 m) are within walking distance, contributing to daily convenience. The proximity to Elda (3.4 km) offers access to broader urban facilities and recreational opportunities, such as sports centers.
This property is suitable for buyers desiring a rural lifestyle with the potential for self-sufficiency, thanks to the large plot with fruit trees. The existing storage space (40 m²) offers flexibility for hobbies or storage. The house itself, with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, is compact, ideal for individuals or couples seeking tranquility and valuing privacy and a natural environment.
This is an existing construction, consisting of a 70 m² house and a 40 m² storage area. The project is not new construction in the typical sense, but an existing, potentially renovatable or expandable, rural dwelling on a large plot. The current condition and any renovation plans are part of the consideration for potential buyers.
The main house is relatively small (70 m²) and has a limited number of bedrooms (1). The distance to the coast and larger urban centers like Alicante is considerable, as is the distance to Alicante airport (approx. 999 km as per data, though local data suggests ~30 km aerial distance implying a longer drive). A car is essential for most travel outside the immediate walking distance of local amenities.
This property suits buyers seeking a peaceful life away from the immediate tourist bustle, while still valuing proximity to daily amenities. The large plot, including fruit trees, appeals to nature lovers and those interested in (small-scale) agriculture or a self-sufficient lifestyle. The existing 70 m² house with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom is suitable for singles, couples, or as a pied-à-terre. The presence of a separate 40 m² storage/garage space offers flexibility for hobbyists, storage, or a home office. Individuals who value privacy, space, and views of the Spanish hinterland will feel at home here. The location, approximately 30 km aerial distance from Alicante airport, also makes it an option for frequent travelers to Spain, provided a car is available for the longer drive.
The house, with a living area of 70 m², includes a spacious living room with a fireplace, a kitchen, one bedroom, and one bathroom. The description mentions that the property has light powered by solar panels and irrigation water, indicating a degree of sustainability and self-sufficiency. There is also a separate 40 m² storage/garage/utility room. Specific details regarding the materials used, insulation, heating systems (beyond the fireplace), and the finish of the kitchen and bathrooms are not provided. The focus is on the rural setting and the functional layout of the existing structures. The fenced 4,000 m² area around the house and storage implies a basic level of finishing for that specific part of the plot.
The asking price for this rural property in Monóvar is €299,995. This is an entry-level price for the specific configuration of the house as described. Given the plot size of 150,000 m² and the existing structures of 70 m² living space plus a 40 m² outbuilding, this price offers an interesting opportunity for buyers interested in rural real estate with potential. Information regarding price variations based on different configurations or finishing levels within this specific offering is not available. Potential buyers should factor in additional costs such as transfer tax, notary fees, and potential renovation expenses.

Compared to properties on the Costa Blanca coast, such as EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER in Torrevieja (from €169,000) or PROJECT LOLA in Formentera del Segura (from €399,000), this finca in Monóvar positions itself as a unique offering for lovers of the Spanish hinterland. The price of €299,995 for a plot of this size in Monóvar represents a significantly lower cost per square meter of land compared to coastal locations. While Torrevieja and Formentera del Segura offer urban and coastal lifestyles with direct access to beaches and tourist amenities, Monóvar provides tranquility, space, and an agricultural character. Villa Roma 15 in Finestrat (from €4,450,000) represents a much higher segment, focusing on luxury and sea views, appealing to a different market entirely. This finca is most suitable for buyers consciously choosing rural living, privacy, and an authentic Spanish experience, where the proximity to amenities in Monóvar and Elda offers a practical advantage over more remote rural properties.
