This recently renovated semi-detached house sits in a gated residential complex in Torre de la Horadada, the southernmost coastal town of the Alicante province, on the border with Murcia. The property offers 75 m² of built living space across two floors, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private front terrace of approximately 20 m² facing the communal pool, and a rear patio. Built in 2004 and sold fully furnished, it lies roughly 700 metres on foot from the nearest beach, with a supermarket, pharmacy and daily amenities within walking distance. The asking price is €265,000 as a resale property.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house is located within the urban fabric of Torre de la Horadada, a coastal settlement of roughly 2,700 inhabitants under the municipality of Pilar de la Horadada. The nearest beach is approximately 700 metres away on foot, and a supermarket (827 m) and pharmacy (753 m) are within a short walk. The setting is urban rather than rural, with shops, schools and a marina all in the immediate area.
The property functions as a compact two-bedroom dwelling suited to a couple, a small family or use as a second home. It provides two bathrooms, air conditioning, a fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes, a covered terrace and a private garden area with barbecue. Outdoor space is divided between the front terrace onto the communal pool and a rear patio used for laundry and storage.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 2004 and has since been renovated. Construction is finished and the property is available as a resale, sold fully furnished and equipped. The delivery date is listed as completed 2004 (indicative), meaning no construction phase or waiting period applies.
The property does not offer a private pool; pool access is communal and shared within the gated complex. There is no private parking space; parking is on the street or in communal areas. The built area is 75 m² with 67 m² usable, which limits internal space. The nearest public hospital is 9.8 km away and the nearest EV charging point is 5.2 km from the property.
This property fits several recognisable situations. It suits a couple seeking a lock-up-and-leave coastal base where the communal pool is maintained by the community and the property is sold furnished, allowing use without a furnishing project. It also matches buyers with a fixed budget around €250,000-€275,000 who prioritise proximity to the sea and walkable amenities over internal square metres; the trade-off here is explicit: a ten-minute walk to the beach in exchange for 67 m² of usable space. It works for those who want a walkable neighbourhood, the supermarket, pharmacy and cafés are within a short stroll, reducing dependence on a car for daily needs, though a vehicle remains practical for the hospital, golf courses and airport. It is less suited to buyers requiring three or more bedrooms, a private pool, private parking or a large garden. Year-round residents should note that west-facing outdoor space is used primarily from midday onwards, and that the communal pool setting means the front terrace receives regular foot traffic from neighbours. As a rental or second-home proposition, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration near the beach aligns with established demand in the southern Costa Blanca, though rental performance is not part of the property data provided.
The property is described as recently renovated, and the photographic record supports this: the living room shows a sectional sofa, wall-mounted television and wood-panel detailing; the bedroom contains a built-in wardrobe with decorative wall finish; the kitchen area is integrated within the open-plan ground floor. The standard of finish appears consistent with a contemporary refresh rather than a structural refurbishment. Technical specifications include air conditioning for climate control, a fully fitted kitchen sold with the property, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, and a covered terrace at the front with a tiled surface of approximately 20 m². Utilities connected are electricity, drinkable water and gas. Internet is available via WiFi. Security features consist of the gated complex perimeter and an entry phone system. As a 2004 build, the construction predates current energy-efficiency regulations; no energy performance certificate value is stated in the available data, and buyers should request this documentation during due diligence. The rear patio, fitted with sliding doors and a clothesline, is functional rather than decorative. Community fees of €85 per quarter indicate a modest communal maintenance budget, which generally corresponds to a pool and perimeter upkeep without extensive landscaped grounds. Overall, the finish level is adequate for immediate occupation, with the furniture included as seen.
The asking price is €265,000 for the property as a completed, fully furnished resale. Within Torre de la Horadada itself, comparable new-build supply starts from approximately €245,900 at O-Porto Beach and from €334,000 at Marquesado de Molins, placing this property in the lower-middle segment of the local market. The price reflects the compact 75 m² footprint, the resale condition after recent renovation and the communal rather than private pool. Ongoing costs include community fees of €85 per quarter, covering maintenance of the gated complex and communal pool. Availability is immediate, as construction was completed in 2004.
Daily life at this address revolves around a walkable coastal neighbourhood. The house sits inside a gated complex opposite the communal pool, which functions as the social centre of the community during the warmer months. The west-facing front terrace of roughly 20 m² receives afternoon and evening sun, making it usable for outdoor dining and late-day relaxation; mornings are shaded on this orientation. The rear patio serves a practical role as laundry and storage space, separating household work areas from the living zones. Inside, the layout is that of a duplex townhouse: a living-dining room with an open-plan fitted kitchen on the ground level, and the two bedrooms and bathrooms above. With 67 m² of usable area, the internal circulation is compact rather than spacious, which is consistent with the 2004 construction period and the property type. The neighbourhood itself supports a low-car routine: a supermarket is 827 metres away, a pharmacy 753 metres, and around twenty restaurants and four cafés operate within a two-kilometre radius. The beach is a ten-to-fifteen minute walk. Out of season, Torre de la Horadada quiets down considerably compared with July and August, as is typical for a town of under 3,000 permanent residents. The nearest large hospital is 9.8 km away, and the three regional golf courses and marinas all require a short drive. The area sits at low elevation near sea level, meaning flat terrain for walking and cycling.
The immediate environment is an established residential area of Torre de la Horadada with a village character rather than a resort atmosphere. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data lists twenty restaurants, one pharmacy and four cafés, indicating a modest but sufficient local hospitality offering concentrated around the town centre and seafront. Daily shopping is covered by a supermarket at 827 metres. Sports facilities are closer than might be expected: a municipal climbing wall (Rocódromo Municipal) sits 1.3 km away, Pinatar Arena at 2.7 km hosts football training facilities, and Sport Center Montepiedra is at 3.8 km. Three marinas fall within six kilometres, 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), providing sailing and waterfront dining options. Public transport comprises 15 lines with 39 stops in the area, which is substantial for a town of this size and reflects the coastal corridor connection towards Torrevieja, Cartagena and Murcia. The terrain is flat and at low elevation, making walking and cycling realistic modes of daily transport. Out of the summer season the population base of under 3,000 permanent residents produces a quiet environment, with 32 local festivities per year marking the municipal calendar.
The map shows the property within the built-up area of Torre de la Horadada, south of Pilar de la Horadada's town centre and close to the Alicante, Murcia provincial boundary. Note the short distance to the coastline and coves, the supermarket and pharmacy within one kilometre, and the corridor of golf courses inland towards Orihuela Costa.

Torre de la Horadada occupies the southernmost point of the Alicante province, directly on the boundary with Murcia. This border position places it closer to Cartagena and the Mar Menor (both around 36 km) than to the northern Costa Blanca hubs, while Elche (44 km) and Alicante airport (around 49 km straight-line) form the main northern connection. Within the local hierarchy, the town functions as the coastal quarter of Pilar de la Horadada (municipal population 22,967), with neighbouring Mil Palmeras, El Mojón and San Pedro del Pinatar forming a continuous low-rise coastal strip. The regional market context is defined by Orihuela Costa to the north and the Mar Menor area to the south.
Beaches: Cala de la Lombriz at 1.6 km straight-line and Playa del Mojón at 2.0-2.3 km, with the nearest beach access roughly 700 metres on foot from the property. Airports: Alicante-Elche (ALC) is approximately 49 km in a straight line, realistically around an hour by road; the alternative of Murcia-Corvera is also within regional driving range; Valencia is 182 km and Málaga 357 km straight-line.

Healthcare: pharmacy at 753 metres; the nearest hospital is 9.8 km away, in practice in San Javier or Torrevieja. Cities: Murcia and Cartagena both 36 km away, Elche 44 km. EV charging points start at 5.2 km, so electric-vehicle owners need a short drive to charge publicly.

The location records approximately 3,846 sunshine hours per year historically, a figure comparable with the sunniest coastal zones of mainland Spain. The mean annual temperature is 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 11°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer. The sea-temperature-based swimming season runs approximately five months per year at water temperatures of 20°C or above, roughly from late May into October. The town sits at low elevation near sea level, the site data indicates 9 to 35 metres, meaning flat terrain without slopes between the house, the town centre and the beach. There are no significant height differences affecting accessibility on foot or by bicycle. The climate supports year-round outdoor use of the terrace and pool area, though the west orientation concentrates usable terrace hours in the afternoon and evening. The coastal position moderates temperature extremes relative to inland areas of Alicante and Murcia provinces.

The coastline around Torre de la Horadada and neighbouring El Mojón consists of a series of small rocky coves and sandy stretches. Cala de la Lombriz lies 1.6 km away and Playa del Mojón 2.0-2.3 km; the property's listing cites roughly 700 metres to the nearest beach access on foot. The rocky coves of the Punta de la Horadada, the name deriving from the water-bored rock formations beneath the 16th-century watchtower, give the shoreline its local character. For boating, three marinas are within six kilometres: Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (4.0 km), C.N. Villa de San Pedro (5.0 km) and the larger Lo Pagán marina (5.7 km) on the Mar Menor side. Golfers have three 18-hole courses within a 7.2 km radius: Las Ramblas de Orihuela, Lo Romero and Real Club de Golf Campoamor, all in the Orihuela Costa, Pilar corridor. Sports facilities nearby include the municipal rocódromo (1.3 km), Pinatar Arena (2.7 km) and Sport Center Montepiedra (3.8 km). The swimming pool in the complex itself provides daily recreation without leaving the gated grounds.

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 property competes directly with new-build supply at O-Porto Beach (from €245,900) and Marquesado de Molins (from €334,000). The price position of this resale at €265,000 sits between the two: below Marquesado de Molins while offering an immediate, furnished and renovated product, and slightly above the entry price at O-Porto Beach, where buyers accept a construction or waiting phase for new-build specification. A further regional benchmark is Oceanic Apartments in Rojales (from €475,000), which illustrates the upper segment of the wider southern Costa Blanca market and the significant premium attached to larger new-build product in the Orihuela Costa corridor. Structurally, Torre de la Horadada differs from Orihuela Costa in character: it is a Spanish coastal town with a permanent population base and municipal services, rather than a purpose-built international residential zone. This has practical consequences for daily life, Spanish-speaking local commerce, a year-round pharmacy and supermarket, and a seasonal rhythm driven by domestic summer tourism from Murcia rather than by year-round international residents. The border position with Murcia widens the practical catchment: Cartagena and the Mar Menor are as close as Alicante's northern Costa Blanca, and the Lo Pagán marina and healthcare facilities of San Javier are within a short drive. For buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives, the trade-off is concrete: established location and immediate availability at 75 m², versus more modern construction standards, possibly higher energy performance and developer payment structures at a similar or higher entry price. The three golf courses within 7.2 km and the marina cluster within 6 km are consistent with the wider Orihuela Costa, Pilar leisure infrastructure, so access to those amenities does not differentiate between these locations.
