This detached villa is situated in the La Marina area of San Fulgencio, in the south of the province of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. The property was completed in 1970 and offers 92 m² of living space on a 168 m² plot, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private lift between floors, a furnished ground-floor guest unit and a roof terrace with pergola, summer kitchen and jacuzzi. The asking price is €288,000. The villa lies in an urban environment with shops, a supermarket and a pharmacy within walking distance, while the nearest beaches are roughly four kilometres away.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in an urbanised residential area of San Fulgencio, close to the village centre. A supermarket is 885 metres away and a pharmacy 922 metres. The beaches of La Marina, including Platja dels Tossals at 3.9 kilometres, are a short drive. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 23 kilometres in a straight line to the north.
The villa suits households seeking a ready-to-occupy coastal property with space for guests or rental use. The ground-floor guest accommodation, the private lift, three bedrooms and two bathrooms support flexible multi-generational living. A private garden, garage, roof terrace with jacuzzi and access to a communal pool cover the main functional requirements of permanent or seasonal residence.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1970 and is delivered in finished condition. Features already installed include air conditioning (hot/cold), central heating, a pellet stove, solar panels and a private lift. No construction phase or waiting period applies; the transfer can proceed once purchase procedures are completed.
The property does not offer a private swimming pool; pool access is communal. The plot of 168 m² limits garden size. The nearest beach is roughly four kilometres away, so the villa is not beachfront. No energy performance certificate label is stated in the available data. The build year of 1970 means the construction dates from another era than modern new-build standards.
This property is relevant in several recognisable situations. A retired couple moving permanently to Spain may value the private lift, the walkable amenities and the presence of two health centres in the municipality, together with a hospital 6.9 kilometres away. Families with visiting relatives can use the furnished ground-floor guest unit as independent accommodation. Buyers combining personal use with rental income can let the guest house separately or the entire property seasonally, supported by the area's tourism profile of seven hotels and around 1,017 beds. Households who want a low-maintenance second home near the coast, within twenty minutes of Alicante-Elche airport, will find the location practical for weekend and holiday visits. The property is less obvious for buyers seeking a modern new-build villa, a private pool or a large garden; the plot is compact and pool access is communal. It also does not suit those wanting frontline beach living, as the sea is roughly four kilometres away. The 1970 construction means buyers should budget for inspection and possible renovation of older installations, even though solar panels, air conditioning and central heating are already installed. In short, the property fits pragmatic buyers who prioritise function, location and flexibility over new-build finishes.
The villa dates from 1970 and has been fitted out over time with a range of comfort installations. Climate control is covered by air conditioning with hot and cold function, central heating and a pellet stove, which together address both summer heat and the cooler winter months typical of the region's 12–26°C seasonal temperature range. Solar panels are installed on the property, reducing grid electricity consumption; the available data does not state the installation's capacity or an energy performance certificate rating. The private lift connecting the ground floor and the main residence is an accessibility feature not commonly found in properties of this age and price segment. Interior images show a bedroom with fitted wardrobe and shelving, a terrace dining area with bar, and an outdoor kitchen with grill and mini fridge, indicating that the outdoor spaces are equipped rather than bare. The ground floor functions as a fully furnished guest unit, which suggests a self-contained layout with its own facilities. The roof terrace carries a pergola, summer kitchen and jacuzzi. A storage room and basement provide additional space. Overall, the finishing level is that of a maintained older property with successive upgrades, not a recent renovation to modern specification; buyers should verify the condition of roofing, wiring and plumbing through a technical survey before purchase.
The asking price is €288,000 for a completed detached villa of 92 m² with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a garage and a private garden. Within San Fulgencio, comparable supply includes apartments at Saito from €233,900 and villas at Carlavillas Resort from €365,000, which places this property in the middle segment of the local market. The price reflects the property's 1970 construction date, its plot size of 168 m² and its additional features such as the lift, solar panels and roof terrace. Availability is immediate, as the build is finished.
Daily life around this villa takes place in an established urbanisation where most practical needs are met on foot. The supermarket and pharmacy are both under one kilometre away, and four restaurants and four cafés operate within a two-kilometre radius. The municipal swimming pool and sports centre of San Fulgencio lie less than a kilometre from the house, which is relevant for year-round residents who want sport facilities without driving. The municipality counts around 9,769 inhabitants (2025 estimate), with a large international population; English is widely spoken in the village, which affects how easily non-Spanish speakers settle in. The rhythm of the area is quiet outside the summer months and busier in July and August, when coastal tourism increases. The house itself is arranged over two levels: a furnished guest unit on the ground floor and the main residence above, with a lift connecting the two. A roof terrace with pergola, summer kitchen and jacuzzi extends the usable outdoor space, which compensates in part for the modest plot size. With roughly 3,838 hours of sunshine per year and an average annual temperature of 18.8°C, outdoor living is practical for most of the year. A car is useful but not essential for everything: the beach, larger hospitals and golf courses require driving, while shopping, pharmacy visits and sports facilities do not.
San Fulgencio sits inland from the La Marina coastline at an elevation of about one metre above sea level, in flat terrain. The immediate surroundings are urban, with the village's practical infrastructure within walking distance: supermarket at 885 metres, pharmacy at 922 metres, and several restaurants and cafés within two kilometres. For sport, the municipal swimming pool is 800 metres away and the polideportivo 900 metres. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the municipality, with the nearest hospital 6.9 kilometres away. The area has 13 primary schools and 5 secondary schools, which is relevant for families considering year-round residence. Public transport exists in the form of nine bus lines serving fourteen stops, which supports car-free living for local trips, though regional travel is easier by car. The village has an unusually international character: 77% of residents were of foreign origin at the 2011 census and English is the most spoken language, a fact that shapes daily interaction, services and community life. Larger cities are accessible: Elche at 17 kilometres, Alicante at 33 kilometres and Murcia at 38 kilometres, giving residents access to urban retail, culture and hospitals within an hour.
The map shows the villa's position in the La Marina urbanisation of San Fulgencio, with the supermarket and pharmacy within a one-kilometre walking radius and the beaches of the Costa Blanca four kilometres to the east. Alicante-Elche airport appears to the north, approximately 23 kilometres away in a straight line.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
San Fulgencio occupies a position between the coastal strip of La Marina and the agricultural interior of the Vega Baja. Elche, with about 235,000 inhabitants, is 17 kilometres to the north-east and Alicante 33 kilometres further along the same direction. Murcia lies 38 kilometres to the south-west. This places the villa in a location that combines village-scale living with access to three substantial cities within an hour's drive. Within its own municipality, the property sits closer to the village centre than to the beach, which distinguishes it from the frontline developments along the coast road.
Beaches lie between 3.9 and 4.7 kilometres from the property: Platja dels Tossals (3.9 km), Platja de les Pesqueres - El Rebollo (4.2 km) and Platja de la Marina (4.7 km), all reachable within a ten-minute drive. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 23 kilometres away in a straight line, making short European flights practical; Valencia airport is 154 kilometres away. Golf facilities within reach include Club de Golf La Finca (9.5–11 km), Escuela de golf Elche (14 km) and Club de Golf Villamartín (21 km). The nearest EV charging point is 7.7–8.2 kilometres away, so owners of electric vehicles need to plan charging around trips rather than at home, unless private charging is installed. A marina, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, lies 5.7 kilometres away.

The location records approximately 3,838 hours of sunshine per year and an average annual temperature of 18.8°C, with seasonal averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The sea maintains water temperatures of at least 20°C for roughly five months per year, defining a swimming season from late spring to early autumn. The terrain is flat and the village sits at one metre above sea level, so there are no slopes to negotiate on foot or by bicycle, and the property itself has level access apart from internal stairs, which the lift addresses. The surrounding landscape is agricultural lowland between the Segura river plain and the coast, with the dune and pine areas of Guardamar del Segura nearby to the north. Rainfall concentrates in autumn, and summer months are dry, which is consistent with the installed air conditioning and irrigation-dependent gardens.

The three nearest beaches, Platja dels Tossals, Platja de les Pesqueres - el Rebullo and Platja de la Marina, lie within a five-kilometre radius and form part of the long sandy coastline between Guardamar del Segura and Santa Pola. These beaches are backed by dunes and pine forest rather than dense construction, offering a more open coastal character. Golf is available at three courses within twenty-one kilometres, with Club de Golf La Finca the closest at roughly ten kilometres. For day-to-day recreation, the municipal pool and sports centre of San Fulgencio are under one kilometre from the villa, and a further sports centre operates in Daya Vieja at three kilometres. Cycling and walking are practical given the flat terrain, and the viewpoints at Mirador del Molino and Mirador de la Noria, at 3.3 and 3.4 kilometres, mark local routes through the huerta landscape.

Within San Fulgencio itself, this villa occupies the middle of the local price range. Apartamentos Saito starts at €233,900 for new-build apartments, while Carlavillas Resort offers villas from €365,000. At €288,000, this property sits between the two, with the distinction that it is a completed 1970 resale rather than new construction. Buyers comparing it with new-build stock should weigh the trade-off: the asking price is lower than new villas in the same municipality, but the construction predates modern building regulations, and features such as insulation, glazing and seismic standards may differ from current requirements. Against Oceanic Apartments in Rojales (from €475,000), this villa offers more private space and land for a substantially lower price, in a quieter inland-urban location rather than a resort-style development. Regionally, the wider Vega Baja and southern Costa Blanca offer similar resale stock in towns such as Rojales, Daya Vieja and Guardamar del Segura; San Fulgencio's distinguishing characteristics are its highly international population, its flat terrain and its combination of village services with a four-kilometre distance to the beach. The provincial median income of €15,750 and the municipality's 849 recorded property transactions indicate an active but affordable market by Costa Blanca standards, with steady demand from northern European buyers. For buyers prioritising walkable amenities and a car-light routine, this location compares favourably with more isolated rural fincas; for those seeking frontline sea views or resort facilities, coastal developments in Guardamar or Torrevieja are the nearer equivalents at higher price points.
