This property is a detached villa located in Torre de la Horadada, Alicante. The home offers 120 m² of living space spread over two floors, situated on a 550 m² plot. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms, the property accommodates the needs of larger families or those seeking ample guest space. The location is characteristic of the Southern Costa Blanca: urbanized yet with immediate access to the coastline and amenities within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated in an urban environment in Torre de la Horadada. The location ensures direct access to local facilities; a supermarket is located 827 meters away and a pharmacy at 753 meters. The coastline is approximately 1.6 to 2.3 km away (as the crow flies), making the residence a coastal destination that does not require a car for daily groceries.
With a plot size of 550 m² and a living area of 120 m², this villa offers proportionally significant outdoor space. The layout across two levels supports a clear separation between living and sleeping quarters. The presence of a private pool and various terraces, including a solarium, facilitates a lifestyle centered around outdoor living throughout most of the year.
The property is described as being in excellent condition and is fully furnished. This implies the home is immediately habitable without periods of finishing or renovation work. While specific build dates are not listed, features such as double glazing and amenities like a utility room indicate modern standards.
The 550 m² plot provides privacy, yet requires maintenance of the garden and pool. The location within an urban environment implies the presence of environmental noise and neighboring residences in close proximity. For those seeking seclusion in a remote natural area, this urban character may not align with their housing preferences.
This project suits households requiring multiple bedrooms, such as large families or frequent hosts for guests. The layout with sleeping quarters on two levels provides privacy for residents and visitors alike. For individuals seeking a balance between a coastal stay and the necessity of local amenities within walking distance, this location is functional. It also appeals to those uninterested in a prolonged construction or renovation timeline, as the 'move-in ready' status provides an immediate solution. The presence of a private pool on one's own land is often a decisive factor for choosing this type of property over an apartment.
The villa features various technical and aesthetic characteristics that define its livability. Double glazing contributes to insulation and noise reduction, which is relevant in an urban setting. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the property is sold with all furniture included, implying a certain standard of finish. Externally, there are covered terraces and a solarium, allowing for choices between sun and shade depending on the season. The private swimming facility is an exclusive feature of this property that increases its value compared to similar homes without a pool.
The asking price for this project is set at €720,000. This level places the home in the higher segment of the local market for detached homes, resulting from the combination of plot size (550 m²) and proximity to the coast. Given the finish level and included furniture, there are no direct additional costs for furnishing. The pricing reflects the 'move-in ready' experience offered.
Torre de la Horadada presents itself as a seaside resort that escapes the bustle of larger cities like Torrevieja while still offering essential amenities for permanent residence. The villa is positioned so that daily facilities such as supermarkets and dining are accessible on foot. The rhythm in this environment is defined by the proximity to the sea; the average temperature of 19.2°C and 3,846 hours of sunshine per year allow for use of the outdoor spaces year-round. The owner of this type of residence typically alternates between time spent on the terrace and visits to the coastline for recreation. The presence of 20 restaurants and 4 cafés within a 2 km radius underscores the high density of dining options in this coastal region, keeping the living environment dynamic.
The immediate living environment is characterized by a mix of permanent residency and tourism. The 32 local holidays per year indicate strong community engagement with events. With 39 public transport stops nearby and 15 lines, the area is connected to larger cities like Cartagena and Alicante. The presence of three golf courses at distances ranging from 6.1 to 7.2 km offers recreational variety, though transport is required for access.
The map displays the position of the villa relative to the coastline and nearby residential areas. Distances to beaches and the supermarket are visualized, as well as the location relative to main roads leading to the airport.
Torre de la Horadada is located in the southernmost part of the province of Alicante, bordering the region of Murcia. This functions as a pivot point between the Costa Blanca and the Costa Cálida. The location is strategic for those wanting access to both the larger city of Alicante and the historic city of Cartagena. Construction in this specific zone is lower than in larger resorts, resulting in a less dense urban build.
For daily groceries, one can travel on foot; the nearest supermarket is less than 900 meters away. Medical care is close by with a pharmacy at 753 meters, but a hospital (9.8 km as the crow flies) requires transport. The beaches of Cala de la Lombriz and Playa del Mojón are within cycling or walking distance. Alicante-Elche Airport is the primary gateway for international flights, located approximately 49 km away as the crow flies.

Torre de la Horadada is located in the southernmost part of the province of Alicante, bordering the region of Murcia. This functions as a pivot point between the Costa Blanca and the Costa Cálida. The location is strategic for those wanting access to both the larger city of Alicante and the historic city of Cartagena. Construction in this specific zone is lower than in larger resorts, resulting in a less dense urban build.
Torre de la Horadada is a Spanish town located on the Mediterranean Sea with an estimated population of 2.676 inhabitants and 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 shares 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.

Compared to projects in northern coastal towns like Benissa or Altea (prices ranging from €4,250,000 to €6,490,000), this villa in Torre de la Horadada offers a significantly lower entry point for detached homes. This reflects the difference in regional market prices between the Northern and Southern Costa Blanca. However, compared to apartments in the same area, the price per square meter is higher, justified by the land size (550 m²) and privacy a detached home offers. The region is characterized by a lower density of high-rises than, for example, Torrevieja, resulting in a more open living experience. The location on the border with Murcia means amenity density is higher than in rural municipalities, but the atmosphere is less touristy than in larger resorts.
