A ground-floor bungalow with three bedrooms and two bathrooms on Las Higuericas beach in Torre de la Horadada, Alicante. The property has a fixed asking price of €399,900, a living area of 65 m² on an 82 m² plot, and was completed in 1970, sold key-ready and fully furnished. It includes a private pool, underfloor heating, air conditioning, a storage room, and a private garden with space for a car. The beach at Playa del Mojón lies roughly 738 metres away as the crow flies, with a pharmacy under one kilometre and a supermarket 1.4 km from the door.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The bungalow sits in the coastal district of Torre de la Horadada, in the far south of Alicante province on the border with Murcia. Playa del Mojón is approximately 738 metres away in a direct line, and Playa de Torre Derribada 2.3 km. The setting is urban with daily amenities within walking distance, including a pharmacy at 956 metres and twenty restaurants within a two-kilometre radius.
The layout serves a practical coastal routine: three bedrooms including one en-suite, two bathrooms, and a living-dining room with an open kitchen. Direct access to the private pool and large terraces extends the usable living space outdoors, while the private garden provides off-street parking. Underfloor heating and air conditioning cover year-round comfort in both seasons.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. The property was completed in 1970 and is available key-ready, meaning no construction waiting time applies. The sale includes furniture and a fully equipped kitchen, so the home can be occupied directly after completion of the purchase process. Delivery dates remain indicative.
The property does not offer a communal pool or communal gardens, as the pool is private. The living area of 65 m² is compact for a three-bedroom home, and the plot of 82 m² limits garden size. Parking is within the private garden rather than a closed garage. The nearest hospital is 18 km away, and the nearest electric charging point 4.9 km.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance coastal home within walking distance of the beach will find the ground-floor layout and compact 65 m² footprint straightforward to manage. Buyers wanting a move-in-ready second home benefit from the furnished sale, the equipped kitchen and the absence of any construction phase, arrival can be immediate. Families with occasional guests can use the en-suite bedroom plus two further rooms, while the private pool avoids communal timetables and fees for shared facilities. The location also suits buyers who prefer not to depend entirely on a car: the pharmacy, supermarket and a wide choice of restaurants are within walking or short driving distance, and the area is served by fifteen public transport lines with 39 stops. It is less suited to buyers needing substantial internal space, 65 m² across three bedrooms is compact, or a closed garage, since parking is an open space within the garden. Those requiring frequent hospital access should note the 18 km distance. For owners of electric vehicles, the nearest charging point is 4.9 km away, which requires short planning for charging. Overall, the profile matches permanent residents who value proximity to the sea, and second-home owners who want a turnkey property in an established urban setting with year-round services rather than an isolated resort development.
The property's technical specification, as listed, combines original 1970 construction with subsequently installed comfort systems. The most significant upgrades are underfloor heating and air conditioning, which together cover both the mild winter months, average monthly temperatures dip to around 11°C, and the summer peak of about 26°C. The kitchen is fully equipped and included in the sale, as is the furniture throughout, which removes a common cost and coordination item for incoming buyers. The living-dining room connects to an open kitchen, a layout typical of later refurbishments in Spanish coastal homes of this era, and opens onto terraces used for outdoor dining and seating. The private pool sits directly accessible from the living level, and the images show a lounge terrace arranged around it with outdoor furniture. A storage room is present, adding practical space that the 65 m² interior does not offer in abundance. The two bathrooms include one en-suite arrangement with the principal bedroom. Buyers considering a property of this age should treat a technical survey as a standard step in the due-diligence process: elements such as the electrical installation, plumbing, insulation values and the condition of the pool installation are best verified on site rather than inferred from a listing. The private garden of 82 m² total plot includes direct car entrance, which functions as open parking. No energy label information is reproduced here; relevant certificates form part of the standard documentation exchange during a Spanish purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €399,900 for the complete property, including furniture and the fully equipped kitchen. This is an existing home from 1970, not a new-build with a price list, so there is no from-price or unit variation. Within the immediate market, comparable offerings in Torre de la Horadada start at roughly €334,000 for new-build apartments (Marquesado de Molins) and €425,000 for semi-detached homes (Rambla Beach), placing this bungalow in the middle of the local range. Availability is immediate in principle, as the home is key-ready; the actual transfer date depends on the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life here revolves around the short distance between the front door and the sea. Las Higuericas beach is roughly 400 metres on foot according to the seller, and the bars and restaurants of the immediate area are about a minute's walk away, which shapes the rhythm of the neighbourhood: mornings can start with a walk along the shore, afternoons around the private pool, and evenings within easy reach of local eateries without needing the car. The urban setting means the area is built-up rather than rural; that translates into pavements, neighbours and year-round activity rather than seasonal isolation, but also into a busier summer period typical of Spanish coastal towns. The home itself functions as a compact base: the ground-floor position removes stairs from the daily routine, the en-suite bedroom adds privacy for a couple or guests, and the two remaining bedrooms can serve as a second guest room and a study. The private garden with direct car access simplifies shopping runs and luggage-heavy arrivals. Because the property is sold furnished with an equipped kitchen, underfloor heating and air conditioning, the practical threshold for moving in is low. The surrounding town, part of Pilar de la Horadada with around 22,967 inhabitants in total, is large enough to keep pharmacies, supermarkets and other services running through the winter months, which matters for anyone planning longer stays or permanent residence rather than only summer holidays.
The immediate surroundings are urban and service-oriented. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data lists twenty restaurants, four cafés and a pharmacy, with the nearest pharmacy at 956 metres and a supermarket at 1.4 km, all reachable on foot for most residents. The beach at Playa del Mojón is approximately 738 metres away as the crow flies, and Cala de la Lombriz lies 1.5 km further along the coast. For sport, the Rocódromo Municipal is 1.3 km away, Pinatar Arena at 2.7 km and Sport Center Montepiedra at 3.8 km cover indoor and outdoor training options. Three marinas fall within six kilometres: Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 4.0 km, C.N. Villa de San Pedro at 5.0 km and Puerto deportivo de Lo Pagán at 5.7 km, which covers mooring and water-sport access. Public transport in the wider area consists of fifteen lines and 39 stops, which keeps short regional trips feasible without a car, though a vehicle remains convenient for hospital visits and airport transfers. The hospital sits 18 km away, a drive that requires planning for non-urgent as well as urgent care needs. Overall, the environment supports a walkable daily routine with the car reserved for longer trips, a pattern many permanent residents of the southern Costa Blanca will recognise.
The map shows the bungalow's position in the built-up coastal strip of Torre de la Horadada, with Playa del Mojón a short walk west and the town's restaurants and pharmacy within the immediate grid of streets. The golf courses to the north and the marinas towards San Pedro del Pinatar frame the wider surroundings.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Torre de la Horadada occupies the southernmost point of Alicante province, directly on the border with Murcia, a position that gives it access to both the Costa Blanca and the Mar Menor region. Murcia and Cartagena, both around 36 km straight-line, and Elche at 44 km form the regional reference points, each reachable within an hour by road. This border position means the town draws services, shopping and healthcare from two provinces rather than one, which broadens options for permanent residents.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer. Beaches: Playa del Mojón at roughly 738 m, a second section of the same beach at 1.1 km, and Playa de Torre Derribada at 2.3 km. Golf: Lo Romero at 6.7 km, Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 7.3 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 8.5 km, three courses within a short drive.

The climate data points to a typical southern Costa Blanca profile: an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, monthly averages ranging from 11°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, and a swimming season of roughly five months during which sea temperatures reach 20°C or above. The elevation is low, around 9 to 35 metres above sea level depending on the measurement point, which means flat terrain and easy walking and cycling conditions, without the hillside roads of more elevated coastal towns. Rainfall is limited in comparison with northern Europe, which supports outdoor use of the terraces and pool across most of the year. The five-month swimming window, combined with underfloor heating for the cooler shoulder months, allows the property to function across all seasons rather than purely as a summer base. The natural surroundings are dominated by the coastline: rocky coves such as Cala de la Lombriz and the sandy stretches of the Mojón and Torre Derribada beaches define the landscape immediately around the town, while the saline wetlands near San Pedro del Pinatar, a short drive north, add a further natural dimension.

The beach offer is the defining recreational feature. Playa del Mojón, roughly 738 metres away in a direct line, serves as the nearest swimming option, with further sections of the same beach at 1.1 km and 2.1-2.5 km, and Playa de Torre Derribada at 2.3 km. Cala de la Lombriz at 1.5 km offers a smaller cove setting. Golfers have three courses within roughly 8.5 km: Lo Romero (6.7 km), Las Ramblas de Orihuela (7.3 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (8.5 km), covering a full range from budget-friendly municipal-style layouts to established championship courses. Water-sports access runs through the three marinas within six kilometres, including Lo Pagán on the Mar Menor side. For land sports, the municipal Rocódromo at 1.3 km, Pinatar Arena at 2.7 km and Sport Center Montepiedra at 3.8 km provide training facilities, with Pinatar Arena in particular known for football preparation. The twenty restaurants and four cafés within two kilometres handle everyday leisure, so recreation does not depend on driving out of town.

Torre de la Horadada is a Spanish town, located on the Mediterranean Sea, with an estimated population of 2,676 inhabitants. It comes under the jurisdiction of Pilar de la Horadada, which in turn has a total population of 22,967, according to the National Statistics Institute. Both of these towns are located in the most southern point of the Alicante province in the southeast of Spain, and therefore share a border with the province of Murcia. The name of the town has its origin in two factors: the first, the 16th century watchtower; and the second, the site where the tower is found: the point of Horadada, which comes from the Spanish word for "bore through" as it is situated on rocks made up of small caves, developed by the water boring the rock.

Within Torre de la Horadada itself, this bungalow sits mid-range against current new-build competition. Marquesado de Molins offers apartments from €334,000, Porto Marina Plaza apartments from €375,000, and Rambla Beach semi-detached homes from €425,000. At a fixed €399,900, this property is priced above the entry-level apartments but below the semi-detached product, while offering something those projects cannot: immediate availability, a private pool and a furnished, equipped interior with no construction lead time. Buyers comparing options should weigh the trade-off explicitly, new-build brings modern insulation, contemporary layouts and developer warranties, but also completion dates that may run one to two years and additional costs for kitchen, furniture and climate systems that are already present here. Regionally, Torre de la Horadada is positioned at the southern tip of Alicante province, bordering Murcia. This distinguishes it from the northern Costa Blanca towns around Alicante city and Benidorm, which are closer to Alicante-Elche airport but further from the Mar Menor and Cartagena side. The local market draws on both provinces: Murcia and Cartagena, each around 36 km straight-line, provide major urban services, while the immediate town of Pilar de la Horadada, with roughly 22,967 inhabitants, keeps daily amenities open year-round, a contrast with smaller seasonal enclaves that quieten down outside the summer. For buyers focused on the southern Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida border zone, this location combines two regional service networks with a walkable coastal core, at price levels generally below the more publicised Marbella-to-Estepona stretch of the Costa del Sol, while remaining within an hour of two airports via the regional road network.
