A detached villa of 263 m² on a fully fenced plot of 10,090 m² in Lel, a rural area near Pinoso in inland Alicante province. The property, originally built in 1970, has three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, five bathrooms in total, and was designed as a four-bedroom home that can be converted back. It includes a 10 x 5 metre heated pool enclosed within a Florida screen, a solar system with fifteen 500W panels, a garage with workshop, and an orchard of almond trees. The asking price is fixed at €574,995 and the property is key-ready. Distances to the coast are considerable, with the nearest bathing areas around 43 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands inland in the countryside near Pinoso, at an elevation of 608 metres. A car is necessary for daily travel: the nearest supermarket lies 5.3 km away as the crow flies, the hospital 19 km, and Alicante-Elche airport roughly 45 km. The nearest bathing areas on the coast are approximately 43 km distant in a straight line. Restaurants and a pharmacy exist within 2 km of the wider area.
The home offers generous living space with an extended lounge, two fireplaces, ducted hot-and-cold air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout. All three bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, and the layout can be restored to four bedrooms. Outdoor living centres on the heated pool at about 30°C, barbecue area with pizza oven, children's playground and covered porch. Fly screens and an alarm system are fitted.
This is an existing home completed in 1970, offered key-ready with a fixed asking price rather than a new-build price list. The construction has been extended and upgraded over time, including the solar installation with fifteen 500W panels and the enclosed pool enclosure. A garage building with an upper floor offers conversion potential, for example into a guest annexe, subject to the usual permissions.
The property is not new-build and dates from 1970. It lies far from the coast: the nearest beaches are roughly 43 km away as the crow flies, and golf courses start at 34 km. A car is required for all daily errands. Water is supplied via a 25,000-litre deposit refilled approximately every six weeks rather than a mains connection. Public transport exists in the wider area but is limited for daily use.

This property suits buyers who want space, privacy and independence rather than coastal proximity. The first recognisable situation is a household seeking a permanent inland residence with room for a family: three ensuite bedrooms, the possibility of a fourth, a playground and a pool usable for much of the year at about 30°C. The second is a buyer prioritising self-sufficiency and lower running costs: the fifteen 500W solar panels reduce electricity demand, and the arrangement with a local farmer keeps the orchard maintained at no cost. The third is someone with plans for a guest annexe or workspace: the garage building with workshop and upper floor offers conversion potential. The property fits poorly with buyers who want to walk to the beach, play golf nearby or live without a car. The nearest bathing areas are about 43 km away as the crow flies, golf courses start at 34 km, and every daily errand requires driving. It also requires acceptance of rural water supply: a 25,000-litre deposit refilled roughly every six weeks. Buyers seeking a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave holiday apartment near the coast would be better served by smaller coastal properties; this is a countryside home that rewards presence and use of its land.
The villa was completed in 1970 and has since been extended and upgraded in several stages, which is visible in the layout rather than in a developer's specification list. The living areas include an extended lounge and two fireplaces, providing both a main heat source for winter evenings and a visual centre to the room. Climate control is twofold: ducted air conditioning supplies hot and cold air throughout the house, supplemented by ceiling fans in the rooms, a combination suited to the local temperature range of roughly 9°C to 26°C across the year. Fly screens are fitted throughout, a practical measure in a rural area with orchards and harvest seasons. Security is covered by an alarm system, electric gates and a fully fenced plot. The energy setup combines a mains electricity connection with a solar system of fifteen panels at 500W each, reducing grid dependence. Water comes from a 25,000-litre deposit refilled about every six weeks, a common rural arrangement that buyers should factor into household management. The pool installation is the most substantial technical feature: a 10 x 5 metre pool heated to approximately 30°C and enclosed in a Florida screen covering pool, patio, barbecue and play areas. The garage building contains a garage space, a workshop and an upper floor used for storage and as a dressing room, and represents the clearest conversion opportunity in the property. A structural and technical survey is advisable given the construction date.
The property is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €574,995; this is not a from-price. For that amount the buyer acquires 263 m² of living area, three ensuite bedrooms with the option of restoring a fourth, five bathrooms, a garage building with workshop and upper floor, a heated screened pool and a plot of just over one hectare. Availability is immediate, as the villa is key-ready. Buyers should budget beyond the asking price for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and for running costs including the electricity connection, the water deliveries every six weeks and pool heating. The 1970 construction date means a technical survey is a standard step in the purchase process.
Daily life here is organised around the house and its grounds rather than around a town. The plot of 10,090 m² is fully fenced with electric gates, landscaped and planted with an almond orchard irrigated by pipes throughout; a local farmer maintains the land and trees at no cost in exchange for the crops. The centre of the property is the 10 x 5 metre heated pool, kept at approximately 30°C and enclosed within a Florida screen that also covers the patio, barbecue area and children's play area, keeping insects out during harvest season. Mornings and evenings tend to follow the rhythms of outdoor living: the covered porch, the pizza oven and barbecue, the outside toilet and the playground with climbing frame. Inside, the extended lounge with two fireplaces and the modern kitchen with island provide the main living space, while ducted air conditioning and ceiling fans manage the seasons; average monthly temperatures in the area range from 9°C in winter to 26°C in summer. Practical errands require driving: the supermarket lies 5.3 km away as the crow flies, a pharmacy 16 km, and the hospital 19 km. Pinoso, with its full range of services, schools and medical facilities, is described in the source material as less than ten minutes away by car, and the nearest bar or restaurant at roughly 3-4 km. The surroundings of vineyards, orchards and open valley views suit walking and outdoor activity, and neighbours exist in the area while the villa itself remains secluded.
The surroundings are rural and quiet, with vineyards, orchards and open views across the valley. Neighbours are present in the wider area but the villa itself is secluded behind fencing and electric gates. Daily provisions require a short drive: the supermarket lies 5.3 km away as the crow flies, and Pinoso, described as less than ten minutes by car, provides supermarkets, schools, restaurants and medical facilities. Within 2 km of the area there are six restaurants, two pharmacies, a bank and three cafes, though reaching them from the property will involve driving given the rural setting. Sports facilities cluster towards Elda: Energy Pádel at 2.8 km straight-line, the Centro Excursionista Eldense at 3.9 km and Club de Petanca Las 300 at 4.6 km, with the Mirador de Elda viewpoint at 4.8 km. Walking, hiking and outdoor activity are the natural pastimes here, on the plot itself and across the surrounding countryside. The nearest hospital is 19 km away and an electric-vehicle charging point also sits at 19 km, worth noting for EV owners. Public transport exists in the wider area with ten lines and four stops, but a car remains essential for daily life. The airport at Alicante-Elche lies roughly 45 km away as the crow flies.
The map shows the villa's inland position near Pinoso in Alicante province, surrounded by vineyards and orchards rather than coastal development. Elda and its sports facilities lie a few kilometres to the east, while the coast and Alicante-Elche airport sit roughly 43 to 45 km away as the crow flies to the south-east.

Lel sits in the interior of Alicante province, inland from the coastal ribbon of the Costa Blanca and closer to the wine-growing country around Pinoso, Elda and Monóvar than to the sea. Pinoso functions as the service town, roughly ten minutes away by car. The position is roughly equidistant in character between the coast and the high interior: 608 metres of elevation, agricultural land and small towns rather than resorts. Alicante city and its airport, about 45 km straight-line away, form the main urban and travel gateway. Compared with the Costa del Sol, this is a different market altogether: more land per euro, fewer services within walking distance, and a lifestyle built around the property itself.
Accessibility is defined by the car. The villa lies inland near Pinoso, at 608 metres elevation, and all services are reached by road. Straight-line distances from the data: supermarket 5.3 km, pharmacy 16 km, hospital and EV charging both 19 km. The coast is a deliberate journey rather than a spur-of-the-moment trip: the nearest bathing areas, Zona de Baño Las Escanales and El Arenal, are approximately 43 km away as the crow flies, with Platja de la Gola at 47 km; actual road distances will be longer. Golf requires a similar commitment, with Escuela de golf Elche at 34 km and the Montepríncipe and El Plantío courses both at 44 km straight-line. Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 45 km away, Valencia about 125 km and Málaga around 364 km, which places the property closest to the Alicante catchment. Public transport in the area comprises ten lines with four stops, useful for occasional trips but not for daily routines. Buyers should therefore consider one vehicle per adult as the practical baseline.

The location sits at 608 metres above sea level in inland Alicante province, which gives it a more continental climate than the coast. Average monthly temperatures range from 9°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 17.0°C. Winters are therefore noticeably cooler than on the coast, while summers are warm and dry; the two fireplaces and ducted heating are functional responses to this. The swimming season, defined by water temperatures of at least 20°C, lasts about four months, although the heated pool at roughly 30°C extends usable swimming well beyond that natural window, which is one of the property's most distinctive features. The terrain around the villa slopes across a valley of vineyards and almond orchards, and the plot itself is walkable with irrigation pipes throughout. Rainfall data are not specified, but the inland setting generally receives somewhat more precipitation than the coastal strip. The combination of elevation, open views and agricultural land defines the natural character of the setting.

Beaches are not a daily feature of life here. The nearest coastal bathing areas, Zona de Baño Las Escanales and Zona de Baño El Arenal, lie about 43 km away as the crow flies, and Platja de la Gola at 47 km, so a beach visit is a planned excursion of well over half an hour by road. Golf is comparably distant: Escuela de golf Elche at 34 km straight-line and E.G Montepríncipe Golf and Club de Golf El Plantío both at 44 km. Recreation in the immediate area is instead land-based and local. Within the area there are padel facilities at Energy Pádel Elda, 2.8 km away, hiking through the Centro Excursionista Eldense at 3.9 km, petanque at Club de Petanca Las 300 at 4.6 km, and the Mirador de Elda viewpoint at 4.8 km. On the plot itself, the screened pool enclosure, barbecue with pizza oven, playground and orchard provide the primary leisure facilities, all reachable in seconds rather than by car. Six restaurants and three cafes within 2 km of the wider area cover casual dining.

Within the broader Alicante and Costa Blanca market this villa occupies a different segment from typical coastal new-build stock. The comparable projects listed, Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center in Torrevieja from €169,000 and Oasis Laguna 2 in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000, are apartments on or near the coast, priced per unit and dependent on communal facilities. At a fixed €574,995, this property offers no communal facilities but roughly forty times the land of a typical apartment plot: a full hectare, a private heated pool, a garage with workshop and a self-sufficient utility setup. The trade-off is distance. Torrevieja buyers can walk to beaches and services within minutes; here the nearest bathing area is about 43 km away as the crow flies and the supermarket 5.3 km. Price per square metre of living area works out at roughly €2,186, which is modest for a detached villa of this size with a large plot, and reflects the inland position rather than the quality of the property. The market around Pinoso and inland Alicante generally offers more space and privacy per euro than the coast, with cooler winters at 608 metres elevation and a longer drive to the airport at roughly 45 km straight-line. Buyers comparing this villa with coastal apartments are effectively choosing between land, space and independence on one hand and proximity to the sea, services and rental demand on the other. The local economy is agricultural, with vineyards and almond orchards, and median income in the province of €15,750 indicates a modest cost base for services and daily living compared with the coastal strip.
