A detached villa of 417 m² on a 7,244 m² plot in Daya Vieja, a small village in the Vega Baja del Segura comarca of southern Alicante province. The property has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a heated saltwater pool with an electric solar cover, an integrated garage and several outbuildings. Energy installations include 36 solar panels with battery storage, oil-fired central heating and a pellet stove. Built in 1970 and offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €749,000, the house stands 15 m above sea level in a quiet agricultural setting within reach of the Costa Blanca coast.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Daya Vieja lies in the south-east of Alicante province, in the Vega Baja del Segura. The village has around 515 residents and sits in flat, agricultural surroundings at 15 m elevation. Elche is 18 km away as the crow flies, Alicante 35 km and Murcia 37 km. Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 28 km in a straight line, with train stations at Callosa de Segura about 8 km away.
The house combines generous living space with practical facilities: five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with island, covered and private terraces, a solarium, basement, utility room and barbecue area. A separate room currently operates as a nail salon and could serve as a fourth bedroom or workspace, while the upper level holds a private guest suite with en-suite bathroom and roof terrace.
This is not a new-build project. The villa dates from 1970 and is offered key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. Renovations and installations have been carried out over time, most visibly in the energy setup with 36 solar panels, two 5 kW storage batteries, oil-fired central heating, a pellet stove and air conditioning in the main house and outbuildings. Completion dates do not apply; the property is finished.
The property does not sit within walking distance of the beach, the coast being roughly 8 km away as the crow flies. There is no communal development or on-site management; this is a single, detached residence in a small village of about 515 inhabitants. Daily life requires a car for most shopping and services beyond the amenities within 2 km. The 1970 construction date means building standards of that era rather than new-build regulation.

This property suits several recognisable situations. A family needing five bedrooms and generous communal space will find the main-level layout and separate guest suite practical, particularly with multigenerational visits or older children wanting independence. Buyers who work from home or run a small professional activity can use the salon room as a licensed workspace or office, a configuration already in place. Those seeking energy autonomy will value the combined solar, battery, pellet and oil-fired systems, which reduce both running costs and dependence on the grid. Hobbyists or owners of vehicles, equipment or boats can use the outbuildings for storage or workshop purposes. People wanting a quiet, permanent residence in a genuine Spanish village rather than a tourist development will recognise the setting. It is less obviously suited to buyers who want to walk to the beach each day, who prefer resort-style communal facilities, or who need urban nightlife and shopping within walking distance. A car is essential here. The property also works as a spacious second home for households that host guests regularly, given the private upper-level suite with its own roof terrace.
The villa was completed in 1970 and has since been upgraded in stages, with the technical installations representing the most significant investment. The energy system comprises 36 solar panels in two groups, sixteen of 410 W and twenty of 350 W, combined with two storage batteries of 5 kW each, allowing daytime generation to be used into the evening. Heating is layered: oil-fired central heating covers the whole house in winter, a pellet stove provides focused warmth in the living area, and air conditioning serves both the main house and the outbuildings for summer cooling. The pool is a heated saltwater installation with an electric solar cover that retains and raises water temperature, extending the swimming season beyond the roughly five months when sea water naturally exceeds 20°C. Interior features visible in the property include wooden flooring in the bedrooms, a modern kitchen with island and integrated oven, and multiple terrace types, covered, private and a solarium. Water infrastructure is unusually thorough for a rural property: mains drinking water, a separate agricultural supply and a private borehole, giving redundancy for household and irrigation use. The construction era should be kept in mind: a 1970 build will not match current new-build insulation standards, and buyers typically commission a structural survey before completing a purchase of this type.
The asking price is a fixed €749,000 for the existing villa, delivered key-ready. This is not a price-list project, so there is no variation between unit types; the figure covers the entire 417 m² house, the 7,244 m² plot, the pool installation, the outbuildings and the renewable energy system of 36 solar panels with 10 kW of battery storage. The property is sold fully furnished. Buyers comparing against new-build apartments in the wider region, where prices in Torrevieja start from roughly €160,000, should note that this offering belongs to a different category: a substantial detached residence on large private land rather than a compact coastal apartment.
Daily life at this property revolves around space and self-sufficiency. The 7,244 m² plot holds the main house, an integrated garage, several outbuildings suitable for storage, hobbies, workshop use or extra parking, a heated saltwater pool with an electric solar cover, and a barbecue area set among palm trees and gardens. Mornings can begin on the covered terrace or the solarium, with the private roof terrace of the upper-level guest suite offering a quieter spot away from the main living areas. Inside, the layout separates functions clearly: three bedrooms plus a flexible room on the main level, a kitchen with island at the centre of family life, and a self-contained guest suite above. Water comes from three sources, mains drinking water, agricultural water and a private borehole, which matters for garden irrigation in the dry summer months. The village itself is small and quiet, with a sports centre 0.7 km away and a second facility 1.8 km away, so exercise and social activity are close at hand without needing to drive. Restaurants, cafes, pharmacies and banks cluster within a 2 km radius, covering routine needs. The rhythm here is rural rather than resort-like: agricultural land, low traffic, and short distances by car to the beaches, golf courses and coastal towns of the Costa Blanca.
Daya Vieja sits in the flat agricultural plain of the Vega Baja del Segura, 15 m above sea level. The village counts about 515 residents, giving it the rhythm of a traditional Spanish settlement rather than a coastal resort. Within 2 km there are 19 restaurants, 21 cafes, 9 pharmacies, 7 banks, 2 schools and a park, so routine daily needs are met locally. Two sports centres lie at 0.7 km and 1.8 km, with a third municipal facility in San Fulgencio at 2.1 km. Elche, with roughly 235,000 inhabitants, is 18 km away as the crow flies; Alicante (about 339,000) and Murcia (about 463,000) are 35 km and 37 km respectively, placing three substantial urban centres within practical driving range. Train connections run from Callosa de Segura, 7.6 km away in a straight line. Public transport in the immediate area consists of 10 lines serving 7 stops, useful but not a substitute for a car. The practical consequence is clear: with a vehicle, everything from beaches to hospitals and airports is accessible; without one, daily life becomes restrictive.
The map shows the villa's position in the flat Vega Baja plain, with Daya Vieja's small village centre immediately around it. Distances shown are straight-line; road routes to Elche, the airport and the coast run slightly longer. Note the cluster of sports facilities and amenities within 2 km and the golf course to the north-west.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Daya Vieja occupies a quiet inland position in the southern Costa Blanca, roughly equidistant from Alicante and Murcia and close to Elche. It belongs to the Vega Baja del Segura, a fertile plain dotted with small villages and crossed by the Segura river. The location trades coastal frontage for land, space and tranquillity: comparable budgets near the shore buy apartments rather than a 417 m² villa on 7,244 m² of ground. The compromise is the 8 km distance to the sea, which in practice means a ten-to-fifteen minute drive to the beaches of Guardamar and beyond.
Access by road is described as straightforward, with connections to the main routes of the area. Alicante-Elche airport lies roughly 28 km away as the crow flies, road distance and travel time will be longer, making flights to northern Europe a practical proposition. Valencia airport is about 156 km away in a straight line and Málaga around 364 km. The nearest golf course, Club de Golf La Finca, is 6.8 km away in a straight line, while the Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes sits 8.0 km away, marking the approximate distance to the coast. Electric-vehicle charging is available at the Iberdrola Oasis Center 7.8 km away and at a second station 10.0 km away. Rail travel is possible from Callosa de Segura, 7.6 km distant. All distances given are straight-line; actual road routes are longer. A car is required for comfortable daily living.

The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.8°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. At 15 m elevation on flat terrain, the property has no meaningful slope, which simplifies both access and garden use. The natural swimming season, when sea water holds at 20°C or above, lasts about five months, though the heated saltwater pool with solar cover extends usable swimming considerably beyond that at home. Winters are mild enough that the layered heating system (oil central heating, pellet stove) handles the cooler months without strain, while the air conditioning manages summer peaks. The agricultural plain setting means open horizons, palm-dotted gardens and productive farmland around the village rather than mountain scenery. Sunshine hours in this part of the southern Costa Blanca are among the highest in Spain, supporting both the solar installation and outdoor living through most of the year.

The coast lies about 8 km away as the crow flies, near the marina at Guardamar del Segura, so beach visits are a short drive rather than a walk. The Costa Blanca south holds extensive sandy beaches and dune areas between Guardamar and Torrevieja. Golfers have Club de Golf La Finca 6.8 km away in a straight line, one of the well-regarded inland courses of the Vega Baja. Sports facilities cluster close to the village: Centro Deportivo Daya Vieja at 0.7 km, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta at 1.8 km and Polideportivo San Fulgencio at 2.1 km. On the plot itself, recreation is built in: the heated saltwater pool, barbecue area, gardens with palms and a fountain, and the solarium for sunbathing. For evenings out, 19 restaurants and 21 cafes operate within 2 km, an unusually wide choice for a village of this size, reflecting the residential popularity of the surrounding Vega Baja.

Within the wider southern Costa Blanca market, this villa occupies a distinct segment. The comparable new-build projects nearby, apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 and €169,000, and units at Oasis Laguna 2 in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000, represent the coastal apartment typology: compact homes, communal pools, walkable beach access and managed developments. This property inverts that model. For roughly three to four times those entry prices, it delivers a 417 m² detached house on 7,244 m² of private land with its own heated pool, no community fees of the resort type, and space for vehicles, hobbies and a home-based business. The trade-off is geographic: Daya Vieja sits inland, about 8 km as the crow flies from the coast at Guardamar, so buyers exchange sea views and beach walks for land, privacy and quiet. The Vega Baja generally offers this pattern, inland villages such as Daya Vieja, Daya Nueva, San Fulgencio and Rojales provide substantially more square metre per euro than the Torrevieja waterfront. Accessibility is comparable in both cases: Alicante-Elche airport is about 28 km away in a straight line, and the AP-7 and N-340 corridors connect the whole area. Buyers choosing between an apartment in Torrevieja and a villa like this one are effectively choosing between managed coastal convenience and rural self-sufficiency. Households planning permanent residence, guest accommodation or working from home often find the land-based option more practical, while those seeking lock-and-leave holiday use typically prefer an apartment with communal management. Both segments have consistent demand in the region, but they rarely compete for the same buyer.
