VILLAS EL OLIVAR is a new development located in Penaguila, Alicante, featuring detached villas on spacious plots. Situated in a rural setting, this project offers a combination of tranquility and proximity to amenities. The homes are designed with modern comfort in mind and are surrounded by nature, offering mountain views. Penaguila, a charming village, serves as the backdrop for this development, catering to residents seeking a serene lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle, yet with essential facilities within reach.
VILLAS EL OLIVAR is situated in a different market segment compared to developments directly on the coast of the Costa Blanca or Costa del Sol. Projects like ICONIC in Gran Alacant, offered from €355,000, are closer to the coast and provide direct access to beaches and urban amenities. In contrast, LAS COLINAS in Pedreguer (from €529,000) and SPEC VILLA 148 - MONTE SOLANA in Pedreguer (from €845,000) are located in areas that are also inland but may offer more exclusivity or larger plots, with corresponding higher prices. VILLAS EL OLIVAR positions itself as an option for those seeking a quiet, rural lifestyle on spacious plots, with a pricing structure that is more accessible than some more luxurious projects in the vicinity, but with the implication of greater distances to the coast and major cities. The choice depends on the priority given to direct coastal proximity versus rural tranquility and space.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Nestled on the edge of the village of Penaguila, VILLAS EL OLIVAR embraces the serenity of the Sierra de Aitana. Its location provides a direct connection to the natural beauty of the hinterland, while the urban core of Penaguila remains within walking distance. This establishes a living environment that balances rural living with local conveniences.
This project is designed for those desiring a spacious, detached home in a natural environment. The 3-bedroom villas offer comfortable living spaces on 800 m² plots, ideal for residents who value privacy, outdoor space, and a direct connection with nature.
VILLAS EL OLIVAR is a new development that has been completed. The focus is on individual villas, each built on a self-contained 800 m² plot, allowing for a maximum buildable area of 240 m². This provides flexibility in the final configuration of the home.
The development is situated inland, meaning direct proximity to beaches and the coastline is limited. The considerable distance to Alicante Airport and the necessity of a private vehicle for daily travel are also significant considerations for potential buyers.
This project suits buyers seeking a permanent residence in a quiet, rural area, far from the coastal bustle. It offers a stable living location that can be occupied year-round, allowing enjoyment of the natural surroundings and local Spanish culture. It is also an attractive option for those looking for a second home, with sufficient space and privacy for holidays. Given the necessity of a car for most travel, this project is suitable for residents who are mobile or willing to invest in private transportation. Its location, some distance from major cities and airports, appeals to residents who prioritize peace over immediate urban access. The available amenities in the vicinity contribute to daily living comfort, making it also suitable for families seeking a calmer environment for raising children.
The villas at VILLAS EL OLIVAR are newly constructed and feature modern finishes. They are equipped with solar panels for hot water and photovoltaic panels, contributing to energy efficiency. The homes include a private swimming pool and underfloor heating, ensuring year-round comfort. The terraces provide space for outdoor enjoyment, and built-in wardrobes offer practical storage solutions. The kitchens are designed in an open-plan living-kitchen style, enhancing the social living space. Double glazing in the windows ensures good insulation and noise reduction. The overall finish emphasizes durability and modern living comfort, respecting the rural setting.
VILLAS EL OLIVAR offers detached villas with prices ranging from €362,000 to €506,000. The available properties include 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom homes with a living area of approximately 130 m². The plots for these villas are generous, with a standard size of 800 m². The development comprises 35 individual plots, indicating an exclusive design with ample privacy. The construction phase is complete, meaning the homes are ready for immediate occupancy. Price variations depend on specific property features and their exact location within the development.

This map displays the location of VILLAS EL OLIVAR in Penaguila, a village in the Alicante province hinterland.

VILLAS EL OLIVAR is located in Penaguila, a municipality in the comarca of Alcoià, within the province of Alicante. This places the project in the hinterland of the Valencia region, at a considerable distance from the more tourist-centric coastal areas often associated with the Costa Blanca or Costa del Sol. The village is approximately 20 minutes from Alcoy and about 50-55 minutes from coastal towns like Benidorm and the city of Alicante. The Costa del Sol, located in Andalusia, is more than 400 km southwest as the crow flies and is therefore not directly related to this project in Alicante.
VILLAS EL OLIVAR is located in a rural area, meaning a car is essential for travel. The nearest supermarket and pharmacy are approximately 8 to 9 km away. The hospital is also located 9.3 km from the development. Beaches such as Platja de l'Esparrelló are 22 km away as the crow flies. For golfers, several options are available: Puig Campana Golf is 20 km away, Meliá Villaitana is 23 km away, and Campo de Golf Las Rejas Benidorm is 23 km away. An EV charging station is located 8.3 km away. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 54 km away as the crow flies, and Valencia (VLC) is 94 km away. Although there are 6 public transport stops within the municipality, public transport is likely limited in frequency and accessibility from this specific location, further emphasizing the need for a car.

For beach enthusiasts, the distance to the coastline is a key factor. The nearest beaches, such as Platja de l'Esparrelló and Platja la Caleta, are 22 km away as the crow flies. This means a drive to the sea could take approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on the exact route and traffic. However, the region offers ample opportunities for outdoor recreation. Hiking and mountain biking in the Sierra de Aitana are popular activities. For golfers, several courses are within driving distance: Puig Campana Golf at 20 km, and courses near Benidorm at 23 km. The presence of a private swimming pool at the villas provides immediate access to leisure and relaxation on one's own property.
