Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Nestled within an urban area of Orihuela, this estate offers the convenience of proximity to local amenities, with a supermarket just 183 meters away and a pharmacy at 167 meters. Its location at the foot of the Sierra de Orihuela provides a natural backdrop, with views of the mountains and the valley.
With seven bedrooms and generous living space, this finca is well-suited for large families or individuals requiring extra room for guests or hobbies. The extensive plot provides ample space for outdoor activities, garden landscaping, or even keeping small livestock.
This is not a new development, but an existing finca with a house ready for extensive renovation. The construction phase is complete, with the focus being on modernizing and adapting the existing structure to meet contemporary living standards and preferences.
The property requires substantial renovation to optimize its living quality. Although there is a six-month swimming season, direct access to beaches is not immediate (approximately 25 km). The inland location means the immediate surroundings are urban rather than coastal.
This estate is a suitable choice for investors seeking a substantial project with potential for value appreciation through renovation and development. It is also ideal for larger families looking for a home with ample space and the possibility to customize the layout and finishes entirely to their preferences. Individuals interested in rural tourism or starting a countryside business can leverage the agricultural land and water rights. The proximity to urban amenities, combined with the tranquility of a large plot, also appeals to buyers seeking a balance between accessibility and rural living, provided they are prepared to invest in transforming the existing property.
The existing finca comprises seven bedrooms, two living rooms, two balconies, a spacious kitchen, a bathroom, a patio, and a storage room. The house features a distinctive facade and is spread over two levels. The authenticity of its architecture provides a solid base for restoration. The rural and urban parts of the plot have access to basic services such as potable water, electricity, and sewage. The rustic land benefits from its own well with irrigation rights and two water reservoirs, which are essential for maintaining the land. The current finishing state is considered functional, with clear opportunities for modernization and improvement throughout the structure.
The asking price for this extensive estate is €850,000. Considering the plot size (12,441 m²) and the existing 431 m² built area, including seven bedrooms, the pricing offers potential for development or restoration. The size of the plot, the presence of both rustic and urban land, and the availability of its own water supply and irrigation rights contribute to its value. The fact that it is an existing structure requiring renovation is a factor in its current pricing.

This estate in Orihuela positions itself as a unique offering in the region due to its combination of a very large plot with existing, albeit requiring renovation, built structures and its urban location. Compared to 'ICONIC' in Gran Alacant (from €355,000), which is likely more modern and compact, this project offers the space and potential for a transformative overhaul on a larger scale. Projects like 'LAS COLINAS' and 'SPEC VILLA 148 - MONTE SOLANA' in Pedreguer, priced around €529,000 and €845,000 respectively, might be situated in more exclusive or natural settings but may lack the specific urban context and land size found here. The €850,000 price for this finca reflects the land acreage, number of rooms, and development potential. Buyers looking for a project to create their own vision, with rural elements yet close to urban conveniences, will find an alternative here to more standardized new-build developments or smaller rural properties elsewhere on the Costa Blanca or Costa del Sol. The 25 km distance to the beaches is comparable to many inland properties in the region.
