This project features a detached villa situated in the inland village of Hurchillo, part of the Orihuela municipality. The residence offers 65 m² of living space with two bedrooms and one bathroom, set on a substantial plot of 60,000 m². The location is characterized by a rural setting with daily amenities within close proximity. It offers a quiet living environment with extensive outdoor space and opportunities for agricultural use. The property is accessible via local roads and lies approximately 22 kilometers from the nearest beaches.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is positioned in Hurchillo, a rural residential area at 37 meters above sea level. This provides a direct connection to the agricultural surroundings of the Vega Baja del Segura. The plot size of 6 hectares ensures maximum privacy and isolation from immediate neighbors. The city center of Orihuela and necessary shops are located within a radius of a few kilometers.
The layout accommodates basic living needs with two bedrooms. The plot offers space for external activities such as gardening or keeping animals. For maintenance and relaxation, a solarium is present. The property is functional for individuals seeking a home with attached land rather than a communal garden.
This involves an existing home available for immediate occupation. Given the plot size and location outside urban building zones, possibilities for expansion or new builds depend on local regulations. The state of maintenance may require modernization works to meet current living standards.
This project is not suitable for buyers looking for a low-maintenance apartment or 'lock-up-and-go' property. The maintenance of 6 hectares of land requires time and physical effort. The distance to the coast (22 km) means the sea is not reachable on foot or within minutes. Amenities like large hospitals and shopping centers require transport.
This property suits individuals who want to be actively engaged in agriculture or gardening and have the space to grow their own food or start a small-scale business. It is also suitable for those who value high privacy and do not wish for noise from neighbors. The home is less suitable for people dependent on walking amenities like beach clubs, marinas, and a wide range of international restaurants.
Available photos show a functional layout with a dated kitchen and living room. The finish is basic and likely requires renovation to meet modern comfort standards. Technical installations such as air conditioning or insulation are not prominent in the imagery. The construction quality is typical for the region, with a focus on functionality over luxury.
The asking price is set from €259,969. This offers a land property significantly below the average of comparable recreational villas in direct coastal towns like Benissa or Altea, where prices often exceed four million euros. The price reflects the inland location and the necessary investment in land maintenance.
Daily life in Hurchillo revolves around tranquility and space. Living on a plot of 60,000 m² means being surrounded by one's own land, ensuring total privacy. The immediate environment is rural with views of the surrounding fields and mountains. The climate, with over 3,800 sun hours per year, makes outdoor living possible for most of the year. The proximity of the Orihuela train station (less than 1 km) allows for car-free travel to cities like Alicante or Murcia. This is a place for those wishing to escape the bustle of tourist coastal zones for a quieter, authentic Spanish living environment.
The surroundings of Hurchillo are quiet and rural. There are 38 restaurants and 28 cafés within a 2-kilometer radius, indicating a lively social atmosphere in the village itself. The accessibility of beaches like Cala de lo Ferri is 22 km as the crow flies, meaning about 25-30 minutes by car. For daily groceries, a supermarket is available at 1.7 km. Alicante-Elche Airport is accessible at a distance of approximately 40 km.
This map shows the rural location of Hurchillo in relation to the coastline and surrounding towns. The large circle around the project represents the 60,000 m² plot. Road connections to Orihuela and the highway to Alicante are visible, as well as distances to the nearest beaches and golf courses.
Hurchillo is located in the province of Alicante, within the municipality of Orihuela. The village is strategically positioned between the cities of Alicante and Murcia. This offers the opportunity to benefit from the amenities of both major cities while living in a rural setting. The Costa Blanca coast is within 30 minutes reach, offering a balance between quiet living and access to tourist facilities.
Amenities in Hurchillo are easily accessible. A pharmacy is found at 1.9 km and a hospital at 6.8 km. For sports enthusiasts, there are various golf courses in the region, such as Club de Golf La Finca at 11 km and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club at 17 km. Public transport is a strong point with Orihuela Miguel Hernández train station just 0.9 km away, ensuring good connections to the rest of the region.

The location enjoys a continental Mediterranean climate with an average annual temperature of 18.9°C. With over 3,800 sun hours per year, there is an abundance of sunshine. The elevation at 37 meters ensures a light breeze and prevents extreme heat at night. The swimming season in the sea lasts about six months, but on the private plot, outdoor living can be enjoyed longer due to the sheltered location.

Despite the inland location, the beaches of the Costa Blanca are easily accessible. The nearest beaches, Cala de lo Ferri and Playa Cala La Mosca, are 22 km away. For recreation, the region offers various golf courses, including the luxurious Club de Golf La Finca at 11 km. The large surface of the plot itself offers ample space for recreational activities such as walking, cycling, or horse riding on private land.

Compared to projects in direct coastal towns like Benissa or Altea, where luxury villa prices start around 4.5 million euros, this object in Hurchillo is financially much more accessible. The main differences lie in the distance to the sea and the nature of the property: here one buys primarily land and tranquility, whereas in coastal towns one often pays for direct sea access, luxury facilities, and an international community. Projects in nearby golf resorts (like La Finca) often offer more modern new builds and shared amenities, but less privacy and significantly smaller plots for a higher price.
