Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is positioned in the historic center of Tárbena. The setting is inland and mountainous. From the roof terrace, the surrounding natural landscape is visible. The coastline is located approximately 10 kilometers away as the crow flies.
The layout of the townhouse is designed for efficient living for a small household. With two bedrooms and one bathroom, the residence offers sufficient space for permanent living or extended stays. The inclusion of a pellet stove and air conditioning supports comfort throughout the year.
This involves a renovated existing structure. The technical condition has been modernized with new installations and finishes, while the traditional exterior remains. There are no new construction plans or future delivery dates associated with this listing.
The property does not feature a private enclosed garden or a garage. Due to the central village location, the noise environment may be lively at times. The distance to international airports is significant, which extends travel time.
This project suits individuals seeking a traditional home in a mountainous environment. The location is less suitable for those requiring quick daily access to beaches or major international airports. The limited floor area and layout make the property practical for couples or singles, but less suitable for large families or those prioritizing privacy in the outdoor space.
The home has been fully renovated, blending rustic elements with modern comfort. The kitchen is fitted with white appliances, and heating is provided by a pellet stove, an efficient heat source. Double glazing is installed for insulation. The bathroom is equipped with a shower.
The asking price for this townhouse is set at €145,000. There is a single specific property listing available. There is no variation in price tiers or property types within this specific offering.
Tárbena is a small municipality with approximately 433 inhabitants, fostering a close-knit community atmosphere. Daily life partly revolves around the streets and local facilities. The altitude of 569 meters means temperatures, particularly at night, are notably lower than on the coast, which can be an advantage during summer months. Daily groceries and medical care are accessible locally, though the range is more limited than in larger cities.
The infrastructure around Tárbena is typical for a Spanish mountain village. A car is necessary for most outings, although the first amenities are within walking distance. The proximity to Benidorm and Altea (approximately 9-10 km as the crow flies) offers access to extensive shopping and cultural facilities, but the road back to the village is mountainous and winding.

Golf enthusiasts can visit Altea Club de Golf, also at approximately 9 kilometers distance. Alicante-Elche Airport is located 61 kilometers away as the crow flies.

Comparing with coastal towns like Benidorm or Altea shows a clear price difference. For €145,000, one typically buys an apartment with less surface area or a property in poor condition on the coast. In Tárbena, this amount buys a full-sized house with outdoor space. The comparison with luxury villas in Benissa (starting at €4.25M) is not relevant for this segment. The investment lies in a specific niche: rural living near the busy coast.
