This detached villa is located in La Zenia, on the Orihuela Costa in the province of Alicante. The property offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 156 square metres of living space on a 250 square metre plot, and was built in 1970. The house is offered key-ready and fully furnished, with a private pool, private garden, south-facing orientation and sea views. The asking price is fixed at €370,000. La Zenia sits directly on the Mediterranean coast, with the nearest beach roughly 0.7 kilometres away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in a built-up residential street in La Zenia, part of Orihuela Costa in southern Alicante province. The beach at Cala Bosque lies about 0.7 kilometres away in a straight line, with several other coves within one kilometre. The area is flat, with a gradient of just 2.6 per cent towards the sea, and is surrounded by everyday amenities including restaurants, pharmacies and banks.
The house is arranged across two floors with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a covered terrace, solarium and barbecue area. Climate control includes air conditioning, central heating and a fireplace, allowing use throughout the year. The private pool and garden suit outdoor living, while the south-facing orientation maximises sunlight on the terraces during the day.
This is not a new-build development. The villa dates from 1970 and is described as being in fair condition, which indicates that renovation or updating of certain elements may be required. It is available key-ready, meaning the buyer can move in directly after completion of the purchase. No delivery schedule applies, as the property is completed and standing.
The property is an existing 1970 villa in fair condition; it does not offer new-build finishes, modern insulation standards or a developer guarantee. The plot of 250 square metres is compact for a detached villa with a pool. There is no information available about parking facilities, storage, community amenities or the structural condition beyond the stated fair condition.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a detached house within walking distance of the beach, without wanting to maintain a large garden, will find the 250 square metre plot manageable while still offering privacy and a private pool. The three bathrooms make the house workable for a family or for couples who regularly host guests. It also suits a buyer planning a renovation project. The 1970 construction and fair condition mean the house is livable as it stands, but an incoming owner may choose to modernise the kitchen, bathrooms or installations over time, a common approach among international buyers on the Orihuela Costa, where detached houses near the sea are scarce relative to apartments. For semi-permanent or permanent relocation, the infrastructure is relevant: nine public transport lines with 50 stops serve the wider area, Alicante-Elche Airport lies roughly 42 kilometres away in a straight line, and hospitals, schools and shopping facilities are concentrated in Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa nearby. The twelve-month usability of the house, air conditioning in summer, central heating and a fireplace in winter, supports year-round residence rather than purely seasonal use. It is less obvious a match for a buyer who wants new-build finishes, a modern energy standard or a large plot; those requirements point towards new developments further inland.
The villa was completed in 1970 and is recorded as being in fair condition. In practical terms this means the house is structurally standing and habitable, with functioning installations, but that the finish level reflects its age rather than current new-build standards. Buyers should expect interiors, joinery and possibly parts of the plumbing and electrical systems to date from various renovation cycles rather than one coherent recent refurbishment. The documented features give an indication of the equipment level. Climate control is covered on three fronts: air conditioning for the summer months, central heating for winter, and a fireplace as a supplementary heat source. The presence of central heating in a 1970 Spanish villa suggests the system was retrofitted at some point, which is common in this generation of coastal housing. The exterior facilities are a strong point of the property. The private pool, private garden, covered terrace, solarium and built-in barbecue indicate that the outdoor areas have been developed as usable living space, consistent with the Mediterranean climate of the area. The south-facing orientation ensures these areas receive direct sunlight for most of the day. The property is sold fully furnished, which reduces the initial work for a buyer intending to use it as a second home. An independent technical survey is the standard instrument for verifying the actual condition of the structure, installations and pool before purchase; the fair-condition classification itself makes no statement about specific defects.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €370,000. This is an existing, completed property, so the price is not a starting figure from a price list; it applies to the house as it stands, including the furniture. For context, new-build apartments in nearby Torrevieja currently start from approximately €160,000 to €169,000, while a new-build property in Urbanización El Raso starts from around €227,000. The asking price here therefore reflects the villa format, the private plot, the private pool and the coastal position rather than new-build specifications. Availability is immediate, subject to the normal Spanish purchase process.
La Zenia is a coastal residential area within Orihuela Costa, characterised by low-rise housing, small coves and a strong international resident base. Daily life here is oriented towards the sea: the beaches of Cala Bosque, Cala Cerrada and Cala Estaca all lie within about 0.9 kilometres of the villa as the crow flies, so an evening walk to the water or a morning swim requires no more than a short stroll. The terrain is flat, which makes walking and cycling practical for most of the year. The immediate surroundings are well served. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, five pharmacies, eight banks and four dentists, an unusually dense concentration of daily amenities for an area of this size. The Zenia Boulevard shopping area and the local street pattern give the neighbourhood a settled, suburban feel rather than a resort atmosphere, though tourism increases noticeably in July and August. The villa itself is designed for outdoor living. The south-facing orientation means the covered terrace and solarium receive sun through the middle of the day and afternoon, while the barbecue area and private pool extend the living space outdoors from roughly April to October. The fireplace and central heating make the house usable in the cooler winter months, when average temperatures still hover around 11 degrees. For golfers, three courses, Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor, sit between 3.0 and 4.3 kilometres away in a straight line, making the location equally suited to a holiday home or a permanent residence.
The villa sits in a residential street of terraced and detached houses, a short distance from the coast. Within two kilometres there are 67 restaurants and 19 cafés, which means eating out is a realistic daily option rather than an occasional outing, from Spanish tapas bars along the coast road to international restaurants serving the permanent and seasonal population. Five pharmacies, eight banks and four dentists complete the everyday infrastructure. Recreation is concentrated on the coast and the golf courses immediately inland. The coves of Cala Bosque, Cala Cerrada and Cala Estaca are all within 0.9 kilometres as the crow flies. The marina Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero lies 3.3 kilometres away, and three golf courses, Villamartín at 3.0 km, Las Ramblas at 4.0 km and Campoamor at 4.3 km, form a triangle around the residential area. Two swimming pools, Costa Marina and La Caleta, are within two kilometres. For electric car owners, three charging options exist nearby: an Ionity fast-charging station only 0.6 kilometres away, an Iberdrola point at 1.9 kilometres and an Eranovum point at 2.2 kilometres. Public transport consists of nine lines with 50 stops in the area, which covers local movement, though a car remains the practical choice for regional trips.
The map shows the villa in its residential setting between the La Zenia coves and the golf courses inland. The nearest beach lies about 0.7 kilometres to the east as the crow flies, with shopping, restaurants and transport stops concentrated along the coast road. Torrevieja, the Orihuela Costa beaches and the three golf courses are all visible within a short radius of the property.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Zenia occupies a central position on the Orihuela Costa, the southernmost coastal strip of Alicante province, bordering the Murcia region. Torrevieja lies a short distance to the north, the Mar Menor and Cartagena to the south, and the regional capitals of Murcia and Alicante roughly equidistant at 36 to 42 kilometres. This positions the villa in the southern Costa Blanca rather than the Costa del Sol, with Alicante-Elche as the nearest major airport. The area functions as a year-round residential zone with a strong international community, distinct from the more seasonal resort enclaves further south.
The location is well connected by regional standards. Alicante-Elche Airport lies approximately 42 kilometres away in a straight line, making it the natural arrival airport for international buyers; Valencia Airport is roughly 175 kilometres away and Málaga around 361 kilometres. Road distances are longer than straight-line figures, which buyers should account for when planning journeys. Within the region, Murcia (36 km straight-line, some 463,000 inhabitants), Elche (38 km, around 235,000 inhabitants) and Cartagena (42 km, around 219,000 inhabitants) form the three larger urban centres within reach, providing hospitals, universities and wider services. Torrevieja lies just north along the coast for daily shopping and healthcare. Locally, the neighbourhood itself is walkable: beaches within 0.9 kilometres, restaurants and shops within two kilometres, and flat terrain throughout. Nine public transport lines with 50 stops serve the area for connections towards Torrevieja, Orihuela city and Murcia. For day trips, the beaches, golf courses and marinas listed are all within a short drive, typically under ten minutes by car.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.9 degrees, with monthly averages ranging from 11 degrees in winter to 26 degrees in summer. This pattern supports outdoor use of the villa for most of the year: the pool season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 degrees or above, runs for about five months, while the terraces and barbecue remain usable well beyond that window. The elevation is 22 metres above sea level, and the gradient to the beach is 2.6 per cent, effectively flat. This has practical consequences: no stairs or steep climbs on the walk to the sea, easy cycling, and no view obstruction from surrounding hills, which contributes to the recorded sea views. The landscape around La Zenia is coastal and largely built-up, with natural areas concentrated along the coves and dune strips of the coastline. The Orihuela Costa green corridors and the golf course landscapes inland provide the main natural surroundings. Rainfall is low by European standards, and the 32 local public holidays per year reflect the Spanish festival calendar rather than any climatic factor.

The beaches closest to the villa are the coves of Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada, both 0.7 kilometres away in a straight line, and Cala Estaca at 0.9 kilometres. These are small, sheltered coves typical of the Orihuela Costa, suited to swimming and snorkelling rather than long beach walks; longer sandy stretches continue south towards Campoamor and north towards Torrevieja. Golf is a defining recreational feature of this location. Three 18-hole courses lie within 4.3 kilometres: Club de Golf Villamartín (3.0 km), Las Ramblas de Orihuela (4.0 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (4.3 km). This concentration makes the area one of the denser golf zones on the southern Costa Blanca. Water sports are based at the local marinas: Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 3.3 kilometres and Real Club Náutico at 6.9 kilometres. For land-based sport, Sport Center Montepiedra (3.6 km), Snatch Fitness Center (4.1 km) and two public swimming pools within two kilometres cover most training needs. A viewpoint at Torrejieja, five kilometres away, offers a wider panorama of the coastline.

Within its immediate market, this villa occupies a specific position that new-build projects in the area do not. The comparable developments nearby are all apartments or townhouse-style properties: Palangre Beach in Torrevieja starts from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center (also key-ready) from €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. All three are lower in entry price, but none offer a detached house with a private pool and private garden on individual land, a format that has become scarce on the southern Costa Blanca, where most new supply consists of apartments and terraced homes. At €370,000 fixed, this villa asks roughly €2,370 per square metre of living space. That figure reflects the combination of detached format, private plot, sea views and a location under one kilometre from the beach. Against new-build pricing in the area, the premium buys land and privacy rather than modern construction; against other resale villas on the Orihuela Costa, the price sits in the mid-range for detached houses close to the coves of La Zenia and Cabo Roig. The wider region supports this positioning. The area between Torrevieja and the Mar Menor has a permanent, international population with dense services, the 67 restaurants and full amenity set within two kilometres illustrate this, while the golf corridor of Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor sustains demand for villa properties specifically. For buyers comparing a €370,000 detached villa with, say, a €227,000 new-build townhouse in El Raso, the essential trade-off is between modern specification and communal facilities on one side, and detached ownership, private outdoor space and immediate coastal proximity on the other. The 1970 construction and fair condition place the renovation question at the centre of that comparison.
