This two-bedroom bungalow is located in Montemar, within the municipality of Algorfa on the southern Costa Blanca. The property forms part of a gated residential community and offers 56 m² of built living space on a 101 m² plot, with two double bedrooms, one family bathroom, a private front garden, a rear courtyard and a private solarium accessed via a spiral staircase. The building dates from 1970 and is completed and ready for occupation. Community facilities include a communal swimming pool, tennis and padel courts, and electric entrance gates. The asking price is €164,950. The nearest beaches of the Costa Blanca South are approximately twenty minutes away by car.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Montemar is a residential urbanisation on the southern Costa Blanca, situated inland from the coast near Algorfa. Daily amenities such as bars, restaurants and supermarkets are reachable within a few minutes by car. The nearest beaches lie roughly twenty minutes' drive away, which places the property in a village setting rather than a frontline coastal one. Golf courses in the wider area are within short driving distance.
The property functions as a compact two-bedroom home with practical outdoor space. The layout includes a lounge with air conditioning, an open-plan kitchen, a separate utility area, two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom. The solarium and private gardens extend the usable space beyond the 56 m² interior. Communal pool and sports facilities cover recreational needs that the plot alone would not.
This is not a new-build development. The bungalow was completed in 1970 (indicative) and is available in a finished, immediately habitable state. Buyers should expect construction standards and insulation levels typical of its period, with later additions such as air conditioning and artificial grass surfaces. No phased delivery or construction timeline applies, which removes build-risk from the purchase process.
The property has one bathroom only and no private swimming pool; pool access is communal. Parking is open, with no private garage or allocated covered space. There is no sea view and the beach is not within walking distance. The interior area of 56 m² is modest for a two-bedroom home, and the 1970 construction date means no modern energy certificate standard or new-build guarantees apply.
This property fits buyers with a defined set of priorities. It suits those seeking a low-maintenance holiday or permanent home at an entry-level price point on the southern Costa Blanca, where communal pool and sports facilities replace the need for private grounds. It works for households of one to three people who accept a single bathroom and 56 m² of interior space, using the solarium and terraces as primary living areas during warm months. It is relevant for buyers who value security arrangements, gated access with electric entrance gates, and an established community with a settled owner mix. The property is less suitable for buyers who want walking-distance beach access, since the coast is roughly twenty minutes by car. It also does not match expectations of new-build specification: 1970s construction, one bathroom, open-air parking, and no private pool are the defining constraints. Buyers relying on a car for all daily errands should be comfortable with that pattern, as the location is residential rather than a full-service town centre. For investors, the price bracket and community facilities align with the rental market for Costa Blanca South holiday lets, though rental performance depends on management and seasonality. In short, the property matches a budget-driven purchase where outdoor space, community amenities and price per square metre of plot matter more than interior volume, bathroom count or coastal proximity.
The documented features indicate a property that has been updated in parts while retaining its original 1970s structure. Interior photographs show a modern decorative scheme in the living and dining area, a bedroom with fitted wardrobe and artwork, and a bathroom with bathtub, shower, toilet and standard tiling. The kitchen is open-plan and connected to a separate utility area through a rear door, a practical arrangement typical of Spanish bungalows of this type. Climate control consists of air conditioning in the lounge; no central heating or underfloor system is documented, which is normal for the region and period. Outdoor surfaces combine gravel, ceramic tiles and artificial grass in the front garden, with artificial grass also in the rear courtyard; these choices reduce irrigation and upkeep. The solarium sits at roof level, reached by an external spiral staircase, and offers views over the communal gardens, pool and surrounding urbanisation. As a 1970 build, buyers should verify at survey stage the condition of the roof structure beneath the solarium, the electrical installation, plumbing and window frames, since these elements determine long-term maintenance costs. No energy efficiency label is documented; older Spanish properties frequently rate low unless retrofitted. Community facilities, swimming pool, tennis and padel courts, electric entrance gates, are described as well maintained, though their condition is governed by the community and its fees. Overall, the finishing level is consistent with a prepared resale property: decorated, equipped with air conditioning, and with practical low-maintenance outdoor surfaces, rather than a renovated-to-new standard.
The asking price is €164,950 for a completed, two-bedroom bungalow of 56 m² on a 101 m² plot, including private solarium, gardens and communal facilities. Within the immediate market, comparable properties include apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 (Palangre Beach) and key-ready units from €169,000 (Sun & Center), while Oasis Laguna 2 in El Raso starts from €227,000. This positions the property at the lower end of the local price range, consistent with its age, size and single-bathroom layout. Price is stated as a fixed asking price; availability is immediate given the completed status.
Daily life in this bungalow centres on a compact interior combined with generous outdoor zones. The west-facing orientation means the covered front terrace and upper solarium receive afternoon and evening sun, which suits later-day use: sunset views over the surrounding urbanisation are a documented feature of the solarium. The interior follows a straightforward layout: lounge with air conditioning, open-plan kitchen, utility room off the rear of the kitchen, two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and a single family bathroom with bathtub and shower. The rear courtyard, laid with artificial grass, functions as a service and drying area, while the front garden with gravel and tiling keeps maintenance low. Living here involves short car trips for most errands: bars and restaurants are about a two-minute drive, the supermarket roughly five minutes. The beach is a twenty-minute journey, so coastal visits are planned outings rather than spontaneous walks. Within the gated community, the swimming pool and the tennis and padel courts provide daily recreation without leaving the grounds, and the electric entrance gates control vehicle access. The 1970 construction means the property reflects an established, settled urbanisation rather than a developing area; the community infrastructure is in place and in use. For an owner, the rhythm of the property is seasonal-use-friendly, outdoor living from the terrace and solarium in warm months, with air conditioning covering peak summer temperatures. The spiral staircase to the solarium is a practical consideration for anyone with limited mobility, as is the presence of steps up to the front terrace.
Montemar is a residential urbanisation adjacent to Algorfa, a small inland municipality on the southern Costa Blanca. The immediate surroundings are quiet and residential, with amenities concentrated a short drive away: bars and restaurants within about two minutes by car and a supermarket within five. This makes a car effectively necessary for daily life, including larger grocery runs, pharmacy visits and medical appointments, which are located in Algorfa itself or in nearby towns such as Almoradí or Guardamar del Segura. The nearest beaches of the Costa Blanca South, including those at Guardamar, are around twenty minutes by car, which places seaside trips within easy reach but not within walking distance. Several golf courses are located in the wider area, reachable within roughly fifteen to twenty minutes. The environment is agricultural-residential in character: the Vega Baja plain around Algorfa combines citrus groves with urbanisations built for both permanent residents and international second-home owners. Outside the summer season the area remains inhabited year-round, though activity levels in restaurants and services are noticeably lower than in coastal resort towns. Public transport options are limited, so mobility planning should assume private vehicle use.
The map shows Montemar in relation to Algorfa village, the AP-7 corridor, and the coastline at Guardamar del Segura roughly twenty minutes away. Notable for orientation are La Finca Golf to the north of the village and the flat agricultural plain of the Vega Baja surrounding the urbanisation, with Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja within easy driving range.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within the southern Costa Blanka, Montemar sits in the Vega Baja hinterland between the towns of Almoradí and Guardamar del Segura, roughly fifteen minutes inland from the coast. Torrevieja, the largest coastal city of the area, is about twenty-five minutes to the north-east, while Orihuela Costa and the border with the Murcia region lie to the south. Alicante city and its airport are around forty minutes north. This positions the property in a quieter, lower-price inland pocket with good road access to the busier coastal resort strip.
Key distances by car: bars and restaurants approximately two minutes, supermarket approximately five minutes, and the beaches of the Costa Blanca South approximately twenty minutes. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is the nearest major airport, reachable in roughly thirty-five to forty minutes via the AP-7 or N-332, which also connects the area to Torrevieja to the north and Orihuela Costa to the south. Murcia's Corvera Airport (RMU) is an alternative at roughly forty-five minutes. Golf courses in the region, including La Finca Golf near Algorfa itself, lie within a short driving radius. For healthcare, public services are based in the surrounding towns, with hospital care in Torrevieja or Orihuela. The property includes open-air parking space within or adjacent to the community.

The southern Costa Blanca lies within one of Spain's driest and sunniest zones, with historical averages in the order of 3,000-plus sunshine hours per year and summer temperatures frequently above 30°C; the documented regional average temperature band of roughly 7–26°C reflects mild winters and hot summers. Rainfall is low and concentrated in autumn. The terrain around Algorfa is flat to gently rolling Vega Baja lowland, so the property involves no significant slope or altitude; walking and cycling are straightforward. The swim season in regional waters runs approximately May to October, when sea temperatures exceed 20°C. The inland position, a few kilometres from the coast, produces slightly hotter summers and marginally cooler nights than frontline areas, with low humidity compared with coastal strips. Air conditioning in the lounge is the documented response to summer heat.

The nearest beaches lie approximately twenty minutes away by car along the Guardamar del Segura and Orihuela Costa coastline, a stretch known for wide sandy beaches including Playa del Moncayo del Rey and the coves of Cabo Roig, several of which hold Blue Flag status. Nearer to hand, the Segura river park at Guardamar offers shaded walking and cycling routes through pine and palm plantations. Within the community itself, recreation is anchored by the communal swimming pool and the tennis and padel courts, which reduce dependence on external facilities for daily exercise. Golf is a defining recreation of the area: La Finca Golf is located at Algorfa itself, with additional courses such as Vistabella and Las Colinas within a twenty-to-thirty-minute drive, giving the location weight for golf-focused buyers. Local fiestas, including Algorfa's annual celebrations, mark the cultural calendar.

At €164,950, this bungalow sits at the entry level of the southern Costa Blanka resale market. The nearest documented comparables are coastal apartments: Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000 and the key-ready Sun & Center building from €169,000, both of which offer proximity to the sea that this property trades away for a larger plot, private solarium and community sports facilities. Further up the range, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in El Raso starts from €227,000, reflecting newer construction and a higher specification. Within the immediate Algorfa, El Raso, La Finca corridor, inland bungalows in gated communities typically price below equivalent frontline or new-build stock, and this property follows that pattern. The location comparison is straightforward: Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa offer walkable beach life, higher rental demand and more winter activity, at the cost of density and traffic; Montemar offers quiet, space and low community overhead, at the cost of car dependence for nearly all errands and a twenty-minute drive to the sand. For golf-oriented buyers, the presence of La Finca Golf at Algorfa itself partially offsets the inland position, as the course is closer than most coastal residents' nearest club. Buyers comparing across the region should weigh three factors: the 1970 construction date against new-build comparables, the single bathroom against modern two-bath norms, and the plot-and-solarium outdoor space against apartment alternatives at the same price. Each of these is a genuine trade-off rather than a defect, and the property's position in the market is defined by them.
