This listing presents a townhouse located in Salinas, Alicante. The property comprises a living area of 92 m² with three bedrooms and one bathroom. It is offered with a starting price of €49,000. Salinas is a rural village located inland at an altitude of 491 meters above sea level. The property is sold as a renovation project, requiring significant updates including roof replacement and modernization of utilities.
Compared to coastal projects like those in Formentera del Segura (Project Lola from €399,000) or exclusive residential desires like Villa Roma (from €4,450,000), this townhouse in Salinas is an outlier in terms of price accessibility. While coastal projects are often turnkey and equipped with luxury facilities, the price in Salinas is a direct reflection of the necessary investment of time and money for renovating an existing structure. In the Salinas region itself, such as in La Campaneta, the price barrier is higher (Monsemar from €600,000), usually for new build or renovated quality. Salinas therefore offers an entry opportunity for market segments seeking character and potential value growth through own renovation, rather than immediate comfort.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated within the village core of Salinas. The immediate environment is characterized by rural tranquility with limited commercial facilities within walking distance. For daily groceries and extensive amenities, residents depend on transportation to nearby towns, as the local provision is basic.
This property provides a basic residential structure with three sleeping quarters, suitable for a family or as a guest house. Given the current state of the building, it is most relevant for buyers who have the capacity to coordinate a renovation and value the spaciousness and isolation that a rural location provides.
This is an existing building that does not meet modern new-build standards. While a renovation plan is available, the technical execution lies entirely with the buyer. The structure requires significant maintenance, including roof replacement and the upgrading of all installations (electrics, plumbing).
The property lacks a modern energy infrastructure. It is not a turnkey new build; buyers must account for the physical effort and costs of renovation. The amenities structure in the village is basic, and travel is necessary for extensive healthcare and shopping.
This property fits buyers actively seeking a renovation project and the freedom to customize a home to their own taste. It is an option for those with a limited budget willing to invest time and effort into refurbishment. The situation is less suitable for buyers looking for a move-in ready holiday home or those dependent on walking-distance amenities. It is also not suitable for investors seeking immediate rental income without prior renovation work.
The current finish is outdated. Photos show a traditional kitchen and an unfinished basement, indicating that parts of the property do not meet current functional or aesthetic standards. The project requires a complete renovation: from sanitary ware and electrics to floors and wall finishes. It should be viewed as a shell with basic functionality, entirely dependent on the quality of the renovation plan executed by the new owner.
The asking price starts from €49,000. This positions the property in the entry-level segment of the Spanish real estate market. The price level reflects the investment required for renovation. In addition to the purchase price, buyers must budget for the mentioned roof repairs and system upgrades, as well as standard acquisition costs. There is no variation in housing type; only this specific townhouse is available.
Salinas is a typical Spanish rural village, situated inland and surrounded by nature. With an area of 61.7 km² and a population of over 1,800, the environment follows a slow, quiet rhythm. Living in Salinas means being away from the hustle of the coast, enjoying open space and silence. The village has basic amenities such as a local pool and sports center, but a car is essential for groceries and access to wider services. The elevation of 491 meters ensures cooler evenings and panoramic views, requiring adaptation to the mountainous character.
The living environment in Salinas is rural and quiet. The dense build-up of the coast is absent here; instead, there are open fields and hills. For social and sports activities, residents can use the local Polideportivo and public pool nearby. Village life centers around the local community and a few establishments. The proximity to Villena AV station (7.9 km) opens up rail travel possibilities, but daily life takes place in the immediate, sparsely populated surroundings of the village.
