This detached villa stands in San Fulgencio, an inland village in the province of Alicante on the southern Costa Blanca. The property dates from 1970, offers one bedroom, one bathroom and 53 square metres of living space, and is available at a fixed asking price of €210,000. It includes a private pool, a private garden, air conditioning, a barbecue area and both a garage and open parking. Daily amenities are close at hand: a pharmacy lies roughly 136 metres away and a supermarket under three kilometres, while the beaches of Guardamar are about seven kilometres away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
San Fulgencio sits inland from the coast, on flat terrain at low elevation. The village position places daily services within easy reach: a pharmacy approximately 136 metres away, a supermarket 2.8 kilometres and a hospital 4.1 kilometres distant, all measured in a straight line. Beaches such as Platja Babilònia and Platja Centre lie around 6.8 to 6.9 kilometres away, meaning the coast is a short drive rather than within walking distance.
The property functions as a compact single-storey residence with one bedroom and one bathroom across 53 square metres. Outdoor space carries substantial weight here: a private pool, a private garden, a barbecue area and a covered patio provide the main living extension during warm months. Air conditioning is installed. Parking is available both in a garage and in open spaces on the plot.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 1970 and the property is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. No delivery phase, reservation structure or developer payment plan applies. Buyers should treat the 1970 construction date as a reason to assess the current technical condition of the building, installations and pool during a viewing and survey.
With one bedroom and 53 square metres of living area, the property does not offer space for a growing household or for hosting several guests indoors. It is a single existing home rather than part of a development with communal facilities. The beach is roughly seven kilometres away by straight-line distance, so coastal visits depend on a car. No information is available about plot size or annual running costs such as IBI and community fees.

This property fits a recognisable set of situations. A single person or couple seeking a low-cost foothold on the Costa Blanca with private outdoor space will find the combination of pool, garden and patio unusual at this price level. Buyers who plan to winter or summer in Spain but do not need multiple bedrooms will find the single-storey, 53-square-metre layout straightforward to maintain. Those who value walking-distance access to a pharmacy and short trips to a supermarket, without wanting to live in a tourist resort, match the village character of San Fulgencio, where English is widely spoken and a large share of residents come from abroad. The property also suits buyers who prioritise land and privacy over interior floor area, since the outdoor zones carry most of the living value. It fits less well for households needing two or more bedrooms, for buyers seeking a modern thermal standard without renovation, or for those wanting to walk to the beach: the nearest sands lie roughly 6.8 kilometres away in a straight line. Investors should note the local market context: San Fulgencio records around 849 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but modest-sized market, and the provincial median income of €15,750 suggests a price-sensitive rental audience rather than a premium segment.
As a 1970 construction, the villa predates current building regulations and modern insulation standards, and no energy performance data has been supplied. The visible evidence from the photographs shows a modernised bathroom with patterned floor tiling, a living room in ordinary serviceable condition and functional outdoor areas including a covered patio. Air conditioning has been installed, which in this climate covers both cooling in summer and basic heating in the cooler months. The pool, barbecue, garden and garage are permanent plot features that reduce the need for additional investment in outdoor infrastructure. Beyond this, no information is available about the roof structure, electrical installation, plumbing, glazing or the technical state of the pool installation. Buyers should treat a full technical survey as a standard step: for a property of this age, the condition of wiring, damp proofing and the pool pump and filtration system directly affects both safety and annual running costs. The fixed asking price of €210,000 leaves room in most budgets for such an inspection and for targeted upgrades, for example to the kitchen or glazing, without approaching the price of new-build alternatives in the same municipality.
The asking price is fixed at €210,000; this is an existing home, not a price-list development, so no from-price applies. At that level the property sits below nearby new-build comparables: apartments in the same municipality start at €233,900, apartments in Rojales at €475,000 and villas in Daya Nueva at €453,000. What the price reflects is the age of the building (1970), the compact living area and the single bedroom, offset by the presence of a private pool, a private garden, a garage and a patio. Availability is immediate in principle, as the property is key-ready and listed for direct transfer. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs, notary fees and any renovation work identified during a technical inspection.
The villa suits a modest, outdoor-oriented rhythm of living. Indoor space is limited to 53 square metres with one bedroom, one bathroom and a living room furnished with two sofas and a television, so daily life largely shifts to the exterior for much of the year. The photographs show a covered patio used for dining, a sheltered outdoor space and a garden area with trees and a picnic table, alongside a private pool and barbecue. This layout points towards long lunches outside, swimming in the late afternoon and evenings spent on the patio rather than indoors. The climate supports this pattern: average monthly temperatures range from 12 to 26°C, the annual average is 18.8°C and the swimming season, when sea water reaches at least 20°C, lasts about five months. San Fulgencio itself is a working village rather than a resort. Of roughly 9,800 inhabitants, a large majority are of foreign origin, and English is the most widely spoken language in the town, which shapes the social fabric and the range of local services. Four restaurants and four cafés sit within two kilometres, along with a municipal swimming pool 0.8 kilometres away and a sports centre 0.9 kilometres away. A car is helpful but not essential for everything: the pharmacy is a two-minute walk and the supermarket under three kilometres, while beaches, golf courses and larger towns require driving.
Daily life in San Fulgencio is organised around the village and its immediate surroundings. The pharmacy stands 136 metres from the property, four restaurants and four cafés lie within two kilometres, and a supermarket is 2.8 kilometres away in a straight line. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the municipality and a hospital 4.1 kilometres distant. For sport and leisure, the municipal swimming pool is 0.8 kilometres away and the municipal sports centre 0.9 kilometres, with another sports centre in Daya Vieja 3.0 kilometres away. Educational provision includes thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools in the wider area. Public transport exists in the form of nine lines and fourteen stops, which supports local mobility, though regional travel is easier by car. The nearest electric vehicle charging point, an Iberdrola location, is 7.7 kilometres away. Larger towns frame the area: Elche (roughly 235,000 inhabitants) is 17 kilometres away, Alicante (about 339,000) 33 kilometres and Murcia (about 463,000) 38 kilometres, all measured as the crow flies. This gives residents village quiet with city services, hospitals, shopping and culture within a drive of thirty to forty minutes.
The map shows the property within the village fabric of San Fulgencio, inland from the Guardamar coast. Note that all distances shown are straight-line; road distances to beaches, golf courses and the airport are somewhat longer. The pharmacy lies just around the corner, while the coastline appears roughly seven kilometres to the east.

San Fulgencio occupies an inland position in the southern half of the Alicante province, between the Segura river farmland and the coast, roughly 17 kilometres from Elche, 33 kilometres from Alicante and 38 kilometres from Murcia as the crow flies. This places it at the meeting point of the Costa Blanca and the Murcia region, with two airports within practical range and Alicante-Elche airport just 23 kilometres away in a straight line. Compared with coastal resort towns, the village offers lower density, a strongly international resident population and a rural setting, while remaining a short drive from the beaches of Guardamar and the services of three large cities.
The villa lies inland, with the coast about seven kilometres away by straight-line distance: Platja Babilònia at 6.8 kilometres, Platja Centre at 6.9 kilometres and Platja dels Tossals at 6.9 kilometres, so actual driving distance is somewhat longer. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 23 kilometres away in a straight line, making flights to northern Europe reachable within a short drive; Valencia airport lies roughly 154 kilometres and Málaga airport about 371 kilometres away. Golfers have Club de Golf La Finca 8.5 to 9.5 kilometres away, with further courses at Elche (16 kilometres) and Villamartín (19 kilometres). The marina at Marina de les Dunes is 5.7 kilometres from the property. A car is useful for beach trips, airport runs and golf, but the pharmacy within 136 metres and village amenities within walking or short cycling distance mean a car is not necessary for every daily errand. Fourteen public transport stops on nine lines add a fallback option for local travel.

San Fulgencio lies at roughly one metre above sea level on flat terrain, so the property involves no hills or stair-climbing in the surroundings and walking and cycling are easy. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.8°C and monthly averages ranging from about 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, meaning winters are mild and summers warm enough for continuous outdoor living. The swimming season, defined by sea water of at least 20°C, lasts around five months, and the private pool extends that window at home, since it can be used whenever owners prefer rather than when the sea is warm. Rainfall is concentrated outside summer, typical for the south-eastern Spanish coast. The flat, low-lying landscape is agricultural rather than mountainous, with open horizons and viewpoints such as Mirador del Molino (3.3 kilometres) and Mirador de la Noria (3.4 kilometres) offering short outing destinations in the green belt between the village and the Segura river area.

The nearest beaches lie on the Guardamar del Segura stretch of coast, about 6.8 to 6.9 kilometres away as the crow flies: Platja Babilònia, Platja Centre and Platja dels Tossals are broad sandy beaches backed by dune and pine areas. A short drive therefore covers the full beach day, with the trade-off that the coast is not within walking distance. For recreation closer to home, the municipal swimming pool (0.8 kilometres) and sports centre (0.9 kilometres) provide daily exercise options, and a public pool facility sits 2.2 kilometres away. Golf is a regional strength: Club de Golf La Finca, one of the better-known inland courses of the province, lies 8.5 kilometres away, with an golf school in Elche at 16 kilometres and Villamartín at 19 kilometres. The marina at Marina de les Dunes, 5.7 kilometres distant, adds sailing and water-sport options. Locally, viewpoints and dance and social activities such as those at nearby community venues round out a leisure offer that relies more on village life and outdoor space than on mass tourism, though the area does count seven hotels with around a thousand beds.

Within its immediate market, this villa is positioned at the entry level of the price range. The closest new-build comparable, Apartamentos Saito in San Fulgencio itself, starts at €233,900, above the fixed €210,000 asking price of this villa, despite offering apartments rather than a detached property with land. Further afield, Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva starts at €453,000 and Oceanic Apartments in Rojales at €475,000, both more than double this property's price. The gap is explained by age and size: this is a 53-square-metre, one-bedroom house built in 1970, whereas the comparables are new developments with modern specifications and, in the villa case, larger floor areas. The premium for new build in this corridor is therefore substantial, and this property represents the opposite trade: land, privacy and a private pool in exchange for a dated building and compact interiors. Location-wise, San Fulgencio sits in the same inland belt as Daya Nueva and Rojales, all flat agricultural villages between the Segura river and the coast, within a short drive of the Guardamar beaches and Alicante-Elche airport. The municipal market is active for its size, with roughly 849 housing transactions per year, and the population of about 9,800 is heavily international, with English the most spoken language. Compared with the Costa del Sol further south, this part of the Costa Blanca generally offers lower entry prices and a shorter transfer to a major airport, at around 23 kilometres straight-line, while its inland villages trade sea views for quieter, lower-density surroundings.
