This key-ready penthouse is located in Torre de la Horadada, at the southern tip of the Alicante province on the Costa Blanca. The property offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 72 m² of living space, sold at a fixed asking price of €329,000. A private roof terrace of approximately 79 m² provides sea views and overlooks the communal pool. The home is delivered fully furnished and includes a private parking space. The nearest beach, Cala de la Lombriz, lies 1.5 km away as the crow flies.
Within Torre de la Horadada itself, the supply side currently includes three new-build projects: O-Porto Beach with prices from €245,900, Marquesado de Molins from €334,000 and Vivalife Beach from €365,000. This resale penthouse at a fixed price of €329,000 sits between those entry figures, higher than O-Porto Beach's starting point, lower than Vivalife Beach's. The comparison requires nuance: new-build starting prices typically apply to the smallest ground-floor units, whereas this property's value is concentrated in its 79 m² private roof terrace, sea views, furnished condition and included parking space. Buyers weighing new build against resale here are effectively trading off modern specification and developer warranties against immediate availability and finished outdoor space. Regionally, Torre de la Horadada is positioned differently from the northern Costa Blanca hotspots such as Benidorm or Altea: it is smaller, quieter and closer to the Murcia corridor than to Alicante city (44 km to Elche, 36 km to Murcia and Cartagena, all straight-line). Median income in the province of €15,750 per year indicates a local economy based on services and tourism rather than high-wage industry, which is consistent with a market driven largely by second-home and international buyers. The proximity of three golf courses and three marinas within roughly 7 km aligns the area with the leisure-coast segment of the market, comparable to nearby Orihuela Costa and San Pedro del Pinatar. For buyers focused on that segment, this penthouse offers a finished alternative in a market segment where most comparable product is either off-plan or priced above €350,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse sits in a residential urbanisation in Torre de la Horadada, a coastal town of around 2,676 inhabitants belonging to the municipality of Pilar de la Horadada. The area lies 13 m above sea level with a flat gradient towards the sea. Shops, restaurants and the promenade are within short reach, while three golf courses lie between 6.0 and 7.1 km away as the crow flies.
The property combines two bedrooms and two bathrooms with an open-plan kitchen and living area. Both bathrooms have underfloor heating, and air conditioning is installed throughout. Built-in wardrobes provide storage. The 79 m² private roof terrace and an additional private terrace extend the usable outdoor space well beyond the 72 m² interior, accommodating outdoor dining and lounging.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2016 and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. It is sold fully furnished. Any buyer should note that delivery or handover dates relating to the original construction are historical; no construction phase applies to this transaction.
The property offers 72 m² of living space with two bedrooms, which limits capacity for larger households. There is a single private parking space and no mention of additional storage rooms beyond built-in wardrobes. The data does not state lift access. Amenities within 2 km are limited to thirteen restaurants, one pharmacy and four cafés, so wider shopping requires travel.
This penthouse suits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a compact, low-maintenance second home by the sea will find the two bedrooms, two bathrooms and furnished delivery practical for immediate holiday use without renovation work. Retirees considering year-round residence benefit from the underfloor heating in both bathrooms, air conditioning and the flat surrounding terrain, though the 72 m² footprint favours a one- or two-person household over larger families. Buyers prioritising outdoor space above interior size, for example, those who expect to spend most evenings on the terrace, will find the 79 m² roof terrace a larger area than the apartment itself. Golf players are within roughly 6 to 7 km straight-line of three courses, including Real Club de Golf Campoamor. The property also fits buyers who want a finished home quickly: because it was completed in 2016 and is key-ready, there is no construction waiting period. It is less suitable for households needing three or more bedrooms, buyers requiring extensive land or a private pool, or those wanting to be within walking distance of a full-sized city centre, Murcia and Cartagena both lie 36 km away as the crow flies.
The apartment dates from 2016, which places it within a modern construction era with current building standards for insulation, glazing and installations. Interior photographs show a contemporary open-plan kitchen flowing into the living area, finished in light tones with large windows. Both bathrooms are described as modern and fitted with underfloor heating, a feature more commonly found in higher-specification properties and relevant during the cooler winter months, when average temperatures drop to around 11°C. Air conditioning is installed for year-round climate control. The two bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, and the home is sold fully furnished, which reduces the initial investment needed to make it habitable. Exterior quality centres on the terraces: the private balcony overlooks the communal pool area and includes seating space, while the private roof terrace of approximately 79 m² offers room for a lounge set, dining table and sun loungers, with sea views. The urbanisation's communal pool area is described as well maintained and set in greenery. A private parking space is included, which is a practical feature in a coastal town where summer parking pressure increases. As with any resale property, buyers are advised to have an independent technical survey carried out to verify the condition of installations, waterproofing of the roof terrace and community finances before purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €329,000 for the complete property, including furniture and the private parking space. This is an existing home completed in 2016, not a new-build development with a variable price list, so the price applies to this specific apartment rather than serving as an entry-level figure. Within Torre de la Horadada, comparable new-build projects currently advertise starting prices between €245,900 (O-Porto Beach) and €365,000 (Vivalife Beach), placing this finished penthouse with its roof terrace in the middle of the local range. Buyers should verify with the seller which costs, taxes and community fees are included in the stated price.
Daily life in this penthouse revolves around indoor-outdoor living. The open kitchen and living room receive natural light through large windows, while the private terrace and the 79 m² roof terrace extend living space into the open air for most of the year. The roof terrace holds sun for much of the day and offers views over both the sea and the communal pool area. Mornings can begin on the balcony overlooking the pool; evenings can be spent on the roof terrace with views of the coastline. The urbanisation includes a maintained communal pool surrounded by greenery, which functions as a shared garden for residents. Torre de la Horadada itself is a small seaside town at the southern edge of Alicante province, bordering Murcia. The scale is modest: roughly 2,700 inhabitants locally, with the wider municipality of Pilar de la Horadada counting nearly 23,000. This means the atmosphere is quieter than larger resort towns, with a promenade, marina and a compact set of restaurants and cafés within 2 km. A car is practical for larger shopping trips, golf visits and airport transfers, although the flat terrain and the local bus network make shorter journeys manageable without one. The town's climate supports outdoor use of the terraces for most of the year, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 11 to 26°C. The swimming season lasts about five months with water temperatures at or above 20°C.
The immediate surroundings combine seaside living with everyday practicality. Within a 2 km radius, the data lists thirteen restaurants, four cafés and one pharmacy, a modest but functional provision for daily needs. The promenade and marina of Torre de la Horadada provide the focal points for walks and dining out. Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero lies 4.0 km away as the crow flies, with two further marinas at 5.0 and 5.7 km. The nearest beach, Cala de la Lombriz, is 1.5 km away in a straight line, with Playa del Mojón at 2.4 km and Playa Barranco Rubio at 3.5 km. For sports, the Rocódromo Municipal is 1.3 km away, Pinatar Arena 2.7 km and Sport Center Montepiedra 3.8 km. Public transport in the area consists of sixteen lines with forty-six stops, which is considerable for a town of this size and supports car-free living to a degree. The terrain is flat, a 0.4% gradient to the beach, making walking and cycling realistic options. Electric car owners will find charging points between 5.2 and 5.9 km away. Larger urban services sit further out: the towns of Murcia and Cartagena are each 36 km away as the crow flies, and Elche 44 km.
The map shows the penthouse's position within Torre de la Horadada, near the southern border of Alicante province. Key markers include the nearest beach at 1.5 km, three marinas between 4.0 and 5.7 km, and golf courses from 6.0 km, all measured as the crow flies. Murcia and Cartagena lie 36 km to the southwest.

Torre de la Horadada occupies the southernmost point of Alicante province, directly on the boundary with Murcia. This position places it between two regional centres: Murcia (36 km straight-line, some 463,000 inhabitants) and Cartagena (36 km, roughly 219,000 inhabitants), with Elche at 44 km. Compared with the busy central Costa Blanca, the town retains a smaller scale, anchored by its historic watchtower, marina and coastal coves. Its border location means the wider leisure offer of the Mar Menor and Lo Pagán area in Murcia sits within easy reach, complementing the beaches and golf courses on the Alicante side.
Accessibility is shaped by the town's position at the southern edge of Alicante province, bordering Murcia. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 50 km away in a straight line, making it the most practical arrival point for international visitors; Valencia (VLC) is roughly 182 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) around 356 km. By car, the AP-7 and N-332 corridors connect the town along the coast. The three nearest golf courses, Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela (6.0 km), Lo Romero (6.1 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (7.1 km), are all within a short drive straight-line. Beach access is straightforward given the flat terrain. Public transport coverage with sixteen lines and forty-six stops provides an alternative to driving for local trips, though regional journeys generally require a car or a connection via Pilar de la Horadada. Distances stated are straight-line; actual road distances will be longer.

The local climate is Mediterranean, with an average annual temperature of 19.1°C and monthly averages ranging from 11°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season extends over roughly five months, during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20°C. Torre de la Horadada lies at 13 m above sea level, and the route to the beach descends at a gradient of only 0.4%, meaning there are no notable hills between the apartment and the sea. This flatness supports walking and cycling as everyday transport. The town's name derives from the 16th-century watchtower and from the Spanish word for 'bore through', referring to the small sea caves formed where water has worn through the coastal rock, a reminder that the immediate coastline is rocky in character, interspersed with sandy coves such as Cala de la Lombriz. The Observatorio de Aves bird observatory, 3.2 km away, indicates nearby natural areas worth exploring.

Beach options cluster within a few kilometres. Cala de la Lombriz is the closest at 1.5 km straight-line, followed by Playa del Mojón at 2.4 km and Playa Barranco Rubio Cala de Campoamor at 3.5 km. The mix of coves and longer beaches reflects the transition between the rocky Alicante coastline and the broader sands towards Murcia. Recreational sailing is served by three marinas: Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (4.0 km), C.N. Villa de San Pedro (5.0 km) and Puerto Deportivo de Lo Pagán (5.7 km). Golfers have three courses within roughly 7 km, spanning from the woodland layout of Las Ramblas de Orihuela to the established Real Club de Golf Campoamor. Land-based sport is covered by the Rocódromo Municipal climbing facility (1.3 km), Pinatar Arena (2.7 km) and Sport Center Montepiedra (3.8 km). For those who enjoy walking, the seafront promenade and the flat terrain make daily routes along the coast accessible without a car.

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.
