This detached villa is located in San Fulgencio, an inland village in the province of Alicante, roughly seven kilometres from the beaches of the Costa Blanca South. The property dates from 1970, is completed and habitable, and offers two bedrooms, one bathroom plus a separate toilet, a separate kitchen, and a covered terrace and veranda on a 69 m² plot. The air conditioning was renewed approximately two years ago. With a built area of 40 m², this is a compact property positioned at an entry-level price point, close to daily amenities such as a pharmacy 136 metres away, with Elche at 17 km and Alicante airport at approximately 23 km straight-line distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
San Fulgencio lies inland from the Orihuela Costa shoreline, at roughly one metre above sea level on flat terrain. The nearest beaches (Platja Babilònia, Platja Centre, Platja del Tossals) are 6.8, 6.9 km away. Daily amenities are close: a pharmacy at 136 metres, a supermarket at 2.8 km, and a health centre within the village. A car is useful for beach and airport trips but not strictly necessary for daily errands.
The property suits a compact household or a couple seeking a low-cost foothold on the Costa Blanca. Two bedrooms, one bathroom plus separate toilet, and a separate kitchen cover basic needs. The covered terrace and veranda extend the usable living space outdoors, which is relevant given 3,838 recorded sunshine hours per year. The 40 m² interior limits space for larger families or home offices.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 1970 (indicative) and is described as ready to move into, with cosmetic modernisation potential. The air conditioning unit is approximately two years old. Buyers should expect construction standards of its period and budget accordingly for any updates to kitchen, insulation, or electrical systems, subject to survey.
The property does not offer a swimming pool, sea views, a garage, or a communal resort setting. The plot is small at 69 m², and the built area of 40 m² is modest. It is not wheelchair-adapted per available data, and no energy certificate rating has been provided. Beaches are not within walking distance at nearly seven kilometres.
This property fits a recognisable set of buyer situations. First, buyers seeking the lowest possible entry price for a detached structure on the southern Costa Blanca, where detached formats typically start well above this level. Second, those planning a holiday home used a few weeks per year, where 40 m² is adequate and the renewed air conditioning reduces immediate outlay. Third, single-person or two-person households relocating permanently on a budget, for whom the walkable village amenities, pharmacy, cafés, restaurants, health centre, reduce dependence on a car. It is less suitable for buyers who want a swimming pool, sea views, proximity to the beach on foot, or space for a growing family. Buyers intending to renovate substantially should note the 1970 construction date and obtain a technical survey before committing, particularly regarding electrical installation, damp, and insulation. The separate toilet adds practicality for guests. The profile also suits investors considering the rental market, though rental yield depends on licensing, condition after refurbishment, and seasonal demand, which buyers should verify independently. Finally, the property suits buyers who value village life and an international community, English is the most spoken language in the town, over resort-style facilities.
The house dates from 1970 and the available photographs show a functional interior: tiled floors throughout, a combined living-kitchen area with basic cabinetry, a bedroom with a wooden bed frame and window, and a living area with a sofa and exterior view. The finish level is dated rather than contemporary; the listing itself positions the property as offering potential for personalisation with minor adjustments. Documented technical features include air conditioning renewed approximately two years ago and central heating, which together provide year-round climate control, relevant given summer temperatures in the region. Utilities are connected (electricity). There is no information available on the energy performance certificate, insulation values, window glazing type, or the condition of the roof and structure; a pre-purchase technical survey (surveyor's report) is advisable for a property of this age. The covered terrace and veranda are permanent features that expand usable space in the 3,800+ sunshine hours per year. The separate kitchen is a distinct room rather than an open-plan arrangement, consistent with the construction period. Buyers should also verify the legal status of any veranda or terrace constructions with the local cadastre and town hall, as additions of this kind on older village properties are not always fully registered. In summary: habitable and technically serviced, with an interior finish that most buyers would update over time.
The asking price is €123,000. For context, comparable listings in the wider area include apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 and newer developments in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. At 40 m² built, the price per square metre is above new-build apartment averages, which reflects the detached format, private plot, and location in an established village rather than a resort complex. Prices are stated as "from" figures and availability is subject to confirmation with the vendor.
Daily life here centres on the village rather than the coast. San Fulgencio is a working inland municipality with around 9,769 inhabitants (INE 2025), a notably international population, historically around three-quarters of foreign origin, with English widely spoken. The pharmacy 136 metres away, village cafés and restaurants, the municipal swimming pool at 800 metres and the polideportivo (sports centre) at 900 metres place everyday services within a short walk. The supermarket at 2.8 km and the hospital at 4.1 km typically require a short drive. The house itself functions as a compact base: a studio-like living-kitchen area, a separate bedroom, a bathroom with an additional toilet, and outdoor space under the veranda and on the terrace. Given the plot of 69 m², the garden is private but small. The rhythm of the area is quiet outside the summer months, with a modest tourism footprint of seven hotels in the municipality. For residents, mornings may involve walking into the village for groceries or coffee; afternoons can be spent at the municipal pool or, with a car, at the beaches of Guardamar del Segura roughly ten minutes' drive away. The flat terrain makes walking and cycling practical. Winters are mild with an average annual temperature of 18.8°C, and the renewed air conditioning plus central heating listed in the features cover both ends of the temperature range of 12, 26°C on average.
San Fulgencio sits on flat agricultural land between the Segura river plain and the coast. The immediate surroundings within a two-kilometre radius include four restaurants, four cafés and a pharmacy, a compact but sufficient daily offering. The village has two health centres, thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools, which indicates a year-round resident community rather than a seasonal urbanisation. Public transport is available with nine lines and fourteen stops, connecting towards Torrevieja, Guardamar and Orihuela. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 23 km in a straight line, typically a 30, 35 minute drive. For recreation, the municipal swimming pool (0.8 km) and polideportivo (0.9 km) are within walking distance, and the marina at Marina de les Dunes (5.7 km) and the beaches of Guardamar (6.8, 6.9 km) are a short drive. The area is quiet in character; with only seven hotels and about 1,017 tourist beds in the municipality, summer crowding is limited compared with coastal resorts. Local life includes 32 public holidays and events per year and viewpoints such as Mirador del Molino at 3.3 km for walks in the surrounding countryside.
The map shows the property in the village core of San Fulgencio, on flat land a short distance inland from the Guardamar coastline. Note the concentration of amenities within the village, pharmacy, health centre, sports facilities, and the beaches, golf courses and airport positioned in a ring at roughly 7 to 23 kilometres.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.8°C with seasonal averages ranging from 12°C to 26°C, and 3,838 recorded sunshine hours per year, figures consistent with one of the sunniest coastlines in Spain. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months, roughly May to October. The village lies at approximately one metre above sea level on essentially flat terrain, meaning no slopes to navigate on foot or by bike, but also no elevation-based views; the surrounding landscape is agricultural lowland with the Segura river plain nearby. The flat, open exposure means summer heat is direct; the renewed air conditioning and listed central heating are therefore practical necessities rather than luxuries. Winters are mild by northern European standards.

For golfers, Club de Golf La Finca is 8.5 km away, with further options at Elche (16 km) and Villamartín (19 km). Local sports facilities include the municipal swimming pool at 800 m, the polideportivo at 900 m, and Centro Deportivo Daya Vieja at 3 km. The marina at Marina de les Dunes (5.7 km) adds sailing and water-sport options. Walking routes depart from nearby viewpoints such as Mirador del Molino and Mirador de la Noria.

Within the southern Costa Blanca market, this property occupies the low end of the detached segment. Comparable listings show apartments at Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, key-ready apartments at Edificio Sun & Center in Torrevieja from €169,000, and new-build apartments at Oasis Laguna 2 in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. Against these, the €123,000 asking price for a detached villa with private plot is roughly €37,000 to €104,000 lower, the trade-off being the 1970 construction date, the 40 m² interior, and the absence of communal pools and resort facilities that the newer complexes provide. Location-wise, San Fulgencio is inland: buyers at Palangre Beach or Sun & Center are within walking distance of Torrevieja's beaches and promenade, while El Raso sits in a gated urbanisation closer to La Mata's natural park and beaches. San Fulgencio, by contrast, offers a genuine village structure, health centres, schools, year-round commerce, at the price of a seven-kilometre drive to the sea. For buyers prioritising budget and village life over coastal proximity and modern specification, the proposition is distinct in this segment; for buyers wanting turn-key new build with community facilities, the Torrevieja and El Raso alternatives benchmark the next price steps. Regionally, Elche (17 km) and Alicante (33 km) anchor the wider labour and service market, and the province's median income of €15,750 per household frames the local price sensitivity of the resale market.
