This property, a traditional Finca-Cortijo, is situated on a plot of over 10,000 m² in the Orba region of Alicante. With a living area of 358 m² spread across three floors, it offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The location is inland at 286 meters above sea level, providing a transition to the mountainous landscape of the Marina Alta. The fully fenced plot features landscaped gardens, an olive grove, and a 15-meter swimming pool. Amenities such as a supermarket and pharmacy are within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated near Orba, a town in the province of Alicante. The location offers a balance between rural tranquility and essential urban amenities. With a population of approximately 1,191, the region is relatively quiet. Situated at 286 meters in altitude, the property offers views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The coastline with beaches like Platja de l'Almadrava is located at a distance of approximately 11 kilometers.
For those seeking space and privacy outside the busy coastal strip, this type of home meets the need for living space and outdoor living. The four bedrooms and the potential for home workspaces (via the stone outbuilding) make it suitable for families or couples with a care situation or home business. The presence of agricultural water and fruit trees appeals to a lifestyle focused on gardening and self-sufficiency.
Although an existing dwelling, the infrastructure has been modernized. This includes the installation of 28 solar panels for electricity and a thermal system for water heating. The windows feature double glazing. The technical condition of the home indicates a focus on energy independence, contributing to lower operating costs.
This project is not suitable for buyers looking for direct beach access or walking distance to the sea, as the coast is 11 km away. The location requires private transport; although shops are close, the distance to major cities and airports is considerable (Alicante approx. 67 km). The house does not have an elevator, which is relevant for less mobile residents given the three floors.
This situation suits residents active in gardening and outdoor living, given the fruit trees and olive grove. It is suitable for those working from home (the separate stone office space supports this) and who need physical distance from tourist centers. It is also an option for families where parents and (adult) children live together, thanks to the layout with multiple suites and the potential for a ground-floor apartment.
The finishings show a mix of authentic elements and modern installations. Wooden floors and a freestanding wood burner in the living room create atmosphere, while the kitchen is fully fitted. Technically notable is the energy system with 28 solar panels and solar boilers, making the home largely energy-autonomous. Further features include air conditioning (hot/cold), gas central heating, and a security system. The garden is landscaped with attention to 'kerb appeal', featuring ponds and terraces.
The asking price is set at €1,250,000. For this amount, one obtains a living area of 358 m², including external amenities like a pool and outbuilding. Given the plot size of over a hectare in this specific region, the price per square meter is lower than comparable properties in direct coastal towns like Benissa or Altea.
Living here means residing in the 'Valencian Orange Valley', known for its citrus harvest. At 286 meters altitude, evening temperatures are often more pleasant than directly on the coast, though winters can be slightly cooler. The day starts with views of the mountains and olive grove. The garden offers privacy as the plot is fenced. Orba itself has a village character. For beach visits such as Platja dels Molins, driving is necessary, meaning daily life here is more focused on the countryside than coastal life.
The immediate environment is characterized by rural peace with necessary facilities within reach. A pharmacy is 136 meters away, a supermarket at 276 meters, and a hospital at 2.3 kilometers. This makes daily shopping and medical care practically arranged without long drives. The proximity of restaurants in the area (within 2 km) supports the social life in the neighborhood.
The map shows the rural position of the property on the edge of Orba. Notable is the distance to the coastline (about 11 km) and the proximity to village amenities. The green environment indicates the agricultural character of the area.
Orba is located inland in the province of Alicante, in an area primarily agricultural (Orange Valley). It forms a connection between the coastal towns (Denia/Javea) and the hinterland. Compared to expensive coastal locations, this region offers more space for the same budget. The distance to the Costa Blanca coastline is approximately 11 km, short enough for day trips but far enough to maintain distance from mass tourism.
Private transport is essential for regional mobility. The nearest beaches lie 11 km away as the crow flies (Platja de l'Almadrava), but driving distance may be longer due to mountain roads. Golf courses like Gregal and Llebeig are about 11 km away. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 67 km away. For charging electric vehicles, the nearest charging point is 5.5 km away.

The climate features approximately 3,712 sun hours per year and an average annual temperature of 18.1°C. The altitude of 286 meters above sea level provides slight cooling compared to the coastal plain, resulting in warm summers and mild winters. The swimming season lasts here an average of four months, depending on temperature trends. The location in a valley offers protection from the strongest coastal winds.

For seaside recreation, one relies on the beaches around Denia and Oliva. Platja de l'Almadrava, Platja de l'Amadrava, and Platja dels Molins are all approximately 11 km away as the crow flies. Sporting facilities nearby include golf courses (Gregal, Llebeig) at similar distances. The private grounds offer recreation in the form of a pool and walking paths through the orchard.

Compared to projects in direct coastal towns like Benissa (prices starting from €4,250,000) and Altea (from €6,490,000), this property in Orba offers a significantly lower entry price for a larger plot. While coastal towns often command premiums for sea views and proximity to marinas, the value here lies in privacy and land size. The real estate market in Orba targets those seeking rustic space and rural calm over the 'piazza buzz' of the coast. Construction costs per m² are lower here, resulting in a more favorable price-quality ratio for the amount of living space.
