Regional Comparison

Compared to projects like ICONIC in Gran Alacant (from €355,000) and LAS COLINAS in Pedreguer (from €529,000), this property positions itself in a higher price bracket, comparable to SPEC VILLA 148 - MONTE SOLANA in Pedreguer (from €845,000). However, the nature of this property, a Finca - Cortijo with a significant plot size and development potential, distinguishes it from more standardized villa projects. The scale of the land and the possibility to develop it on urban plots, alongside the existing property requiring restoration, offers a different investment case. Where ICONIC and LAS COLINAS focus on new construction with modern amenities in specific locations, this finca offers a combination of rural space, historic structure, and urban development opportunities, explaining its higher price point. The location in Orihuela, more inland than coastal areas like Gran Alacant, brings a different type of environment and price dynamic, focused on larger scale and potential for project-based development.
