A two-bedroom detached villa on the edge of Benitachell village in the Marina Alta region of the Costa Blanca. The property dates from 1970 and offers 110 m² of living space on a flat, manageable plot of 405 m². The asking price is fixed at €375,000. Benitachell sits between Moraira and Jávea, both roughly a ten-minute drive away, while the coves of Cala del Moraig and Cala dels Testos lie approximately 3 km away as the crow flies. The home combines original features such as wooden beamed ceilings and a garden well with modernised practical elements including air conditioning and a pellet burner.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands on the outskirts of Benitachell, a village in the Marina Alta comarca of the Valencian Community. Daily amenities are within walking or short driving distance, with five restaurants and three banks recorded within 2 km. Moraira and Jávea are each about a ten-minute drive by car, giving access to marinas, larger shops and beaches. Alicante airport lies roughly 79 km away in a straight line.
The house offers two bedrooms and one shower room across 110 m², with an open-plan living and dining area, a recently modernised kitchen and a master bedroom suite on the upper floor. Hot and cold air conditioning features in the living area and master bedroom, supplemented by a pellet burner. Off-road parking for two cars, several storage areas and multiple shaded seating zones on a flat 405 m² plot support low-maintenance living.
This is not a new-build project. The property was completed in 1970 and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The house has been maintained over the years, with a modernised kitchen and updated sanitary fittings, while retaining original elements such as wooden beamed ceilings and an antique wooden door. Any renovation dates beyond those stated are not documented in the available data.
The property has two bedrooms and one bathroom, which limits its capacity for larger households. There is no swimming pool on the plot. The upper bedroom suite contains a toilet, wash hand basin and shower rather than a full bathroom. The house dates from 1970 and, despite maintenance, reflects the construction standards of its period. No information is available regarding an energy performance certificate or structural survey in the supplied data.

This property suits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a manageable permanent home on the Costa Blanca will find the two-bedroom layout, flat plot and village-edge location practical for year-round living, with air conditioning and a pellet burner covering both seasons. Buyers looking for a lock-up-and-leave second home benefit from the low-maintenance garden, secure sliding-gate parking and the fact that the house is key-ready, requiring no building works before use. Those who value character over new-build uniformity may appreciate the 1970 origins, wooden beamed ceilings, antique wooden door and the original well in the garden. It also fits buyers who want village life with coastal access: the coves of Cala del Moraig and Cala dels Testos are around 3 km away as the crow flies, and Moraira and Jávea are within a ten-minute drive. The property is less suitable for larger families needing three or more bedrooms or a second full bathroom, and for buyers specifically seeking a private pool, since the plot has none. Buyers wanting a brand-new build with developer guarantees should also look elsewhere, as this is a resale property. A car is effectively necessary for beach visits, marina activities and wider shopping, although basic amenities sit within the village itself.
The construction dates from 1970, and the house retains a number of period features that shape its interior character. Ceilings carry traditional wooden beams, an antique wooden door remains in place, and the garden contains the original well, now a decorative relic of the property's agricultural past. Over the years, functional elements have been updated: the kitchen has been recently modernised and is fitted with wooden worktops, and the sanitary fittings include a shower room on the ground floor and a shower, toilet and wash basin in the upper master bedroom suite. Climate control is provided by hot and cold air conditioning in the living area and the master bedroom, supported by a pellet burner in the living space, which offers an economical heating option for winter months. Hot water comes from a tank housed in the storage room under the stairs. The property is connected to mains drainage, which removes the maintenance burden of a septic system, and benefits from a good WiFi signal according to the seller's description. Practical storage is distributed across the house and plot, including the under-stair room and several external storage areas. The garden is flat and laid out for low maintenance, with multiple seating areas positioned for sun or shade. Parking for two cars is provided off-road behind sliding gates. As with any property of this age, buyers are advised to commission an independent technical survey to verify the condition of the roof, electrics and plumbing, since the available data does not document the dates of these installations.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €375,000. This is an existing home completed in 1970, not a new-build development, so no price list or unit variation applies. The price reflects a detached villa of 110 m² on a 405 m² plot in Benitachell, with two bedrooms, one bathroom, off-road parking for two cars and a modernised kitchen. Buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary fees and registry fees, which are not included in the asking price. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready and can be transferred in the standard timeframe of a Spanish resale transaction.
Daily life at this property revolves around the village-edge setting and the practical layout of the house. Entry is through sliding gates onto a driveway with space for two cars. The ground floor combines the living and dining space in one open area, lit by arched windows and heated in winter by a pellet burner, with hot and cold air conditioning providing year-round temperature control. The kitchen has been recently modernised and retains wooden worktops, and the dining area looks out over surrounding vineyards, which frames the morning and evening routine with a rural outlook rather than a built-up streetscape. A double bedroom and a shower room sit off the dining area on this level, while stairs lead to an open-plan master bedroom suite with its own shower, toilet and wash basin, plus air conditioning. Under the stairs there is a storage room housing the hot water tank and a door giving direct access to the garden. The plot itself is flat, which makes gardening straightforward, and offers several seating areas in sun or shade, allowing use of the outdoor space throughout the day. Several additional storage areas exist around the property. The village location means bread, groceries and cafés are close at hand, while Moraira and Jávea, each about ten minutes away by car, cover wider needs such as larger supermarkets, healthcare and marinas. The house connects to mains drainage and receives a good WiFi signal, which supports both permanent residence and a lock-up-and-leave pattern of use for owners who divide their time between countries.
Benitachell, officially El Poble Nou de Benitatxell, is a small municipality in the Marina Alta comarca, and the property sits on its edge, where village streets meet vineyards and open countryside. Within 2 km there are five restaurants, three banks and a café, covering the basics of daily life without needing to drive. The surrounding area is defined by its coastline of small coves: Cala del Moraig lies 2.9 km away as the crow flies, with Cala dels Testos at 3.0 km and Cala de Llebeig at 3.6 km. Golfers can reach Club de Golf Jávea at 1.8 km in a straight line, with Club de Golf Ifach at 6.0 km. The nearest marina is Club Náutico Moraira at 4.8 km, followed by Club Náutico de Jávea at 8.3 km and Les Basetes at 9.3 km. A municipal sports centre, Polideportivo Municipal Teulada, is 3.1 km away. Public transport exists in modest form, with 2 lines and 6 stops, which is sufficient for occasional trips but not for daily car-free living. In practice, most residents rely on a car, and the property's two parking spaces behind sliding gates accommodate this. Moraira and Jávea, both about a ten-minute drive, provide supermarkets, healthcare, schools and a broader range of restaurants and shops, meaning the village setting does not imply isolation.
The map shows the property on the southern edge of Benitachell, with the vineyards of the Marina Alta behind it and the coves of Cala del Moraig and Cala dels Testos roughly 3 km to the east as the crow flies. Moraira and Jávea frame the village on either side along the coast, each about a ten-minute drive away.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Benitachell occupies the stretch of coastline between Moraira and Jávea in the north of the Alicante province, part of the Costa Blanca rather than the Costa del Sol. Its position places it closer to Valencia (94 km straight line) than to the major cities of the south, with Alicante at 69 km. Within the local hierarchy, Benitachell functions as a village with basic services, flanked by the more established coastal towns of Moraira and Jávea, which absorb most of the demand for retail, healthcare and leisure. The regional context is one of small-scale coastal settlements backed by agricultural land, distinct from the high-density resort strips further south.
Accessibility is organised around the coastal road network linking Benitachell with Moraira and Jávea, each roughly a ten-minute drive from the property. Beaches are close: the coves of Cala del Moraig (2.9 km) and Cala dels Testos (3.0 km) are the nearest, measured in a straight line, with road distances somewhat longer due to the cliff-top terrain. Golf is well represented, with Club de Golf Jávea only 1.8 km away as the crow flies. For air travel, Alicante-Elche airport (ALC) lies approximately 79 km in a straight line, and Valencia airport (VLC) about 100 km, meaning both are realistically reachable by road in roughly an hour to ninety minutes by car. Malaga airport, at roughly 468 km, is not a practical option for this location. Electric vehicle owners have charging options nearby, including a point 2.5 km away and others at 6.4 km and 7.4 km. Public transport is limited to two lines with six stops, so a private car remains the primary means of transport for most daily journeys.

Benitachell lies at an elevation of 142 metres above sea level, which gives the area gentle elevation without strenuous slopes around the village itself; the plot of this property is flat. The climate is Mediterranean: average monthly temperatures range from 11°C in the coldest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.2°C. This pattern means mild winters in which heating needs are moderate, the pellet burner and air conditioning cover this, and warm summers tempered by the coastal position. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which sea temperatures reach 20°C or above, running roughly from late spring into early autumn. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, following the typical pattern of the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The surroundings combine agricultural land, including the vineyards visible from the dining area, with the natural coves and cliff formations of the coastline south of the village. The combination of altitude and sea proximity produces cooler evenings than on the southern Costas, which many residents find comfortable during July and August.

The coastline near Benitachell is characterised by small, rocky coves rather than long sandy beaches. Cala del Moraig, 2.9 km away as the crow flies, is the best known, notable for its sea-cave entrance and clear water, while Cala dels Testos (3.0 km) and Cala de Llebeig (3.6 km) are quieter alternatives reached partly on foot along coastal paths. These coves suit swimming, snorkelling and quiet days by the sea rather than built-up beach tourism. For boat owners or sailing, Club Náutico Moraira (4.8 km) is the nearest marina, with Club Náutico de Jávea (8.3 km) and Les Basetes (9.3 km) offering additional options. Golfers have Club de Golf Jávea at 1.8 km in a straight line, effectively a near neighbour, and Club de Golf Ifach at 6.0 km. Team sports and gym facilities are available at Polideportivo Municipal Teulada, 3.1 km away. The five-month swimming season, with sea temperatures of 20°C or higher, defines the outdoor rhythm from May or June through September or October, and the vineyards and coastal paths provide walking and cycling routes directly from the village.

Within the wider data set of Spanish coastal properties, this villa occupies a distinct segment from the new-build apartment projects in the south of the Costa Blanca. Comparable developments such as Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja (from €160,000), Edificio Sun & Center in Torrevieja (from €169,000) and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000) are all apartment complexes in the southern Alicante conurbation, a zone of dense residential tourism, wide sandy beaches and flat terrain. At a fixed €375,000, this Benitachell property costs more per unit than those entry-level apartments, but it delivers something structurally different: a detached house on its own 405 m² plot, with private parking, a private garden and no community governance beyond basic village services. The location itself also differs in character. The Marina Alta, where Benitachell lies, is marked by small coves, cliff formations, vineyards and villages that retain a year-round Spanish population, contrasting with the seasonal resort economy around Torrevieja and Guardamar. Distances reflect this: Alicante city is 69 km away in a straight line, Valencia 94 km, and the airports of Alicante and Valencia sit at roughly 79 km and 100 km respectively, making both realistic arrival points. Median provincial income of €15,750 gives an indication of the local economic context, which in the Marina Alta blends agriculture, fishing heritage and residential tourism. For buyers weighing a new-build apartment with communal pools and shared costs against an older detached house with private land and period features, the trade-off is clear: the Benitachell property offers space, privacy and character in a quieter coastal setting, while the southern projects offer new construction, lower entry prices and denser amenities. The absence of a pool and the single bathroom are the practical counterweights on this side of the comparison.
