This detached villa is situated in the Portet Valley near Benitachell, in the Marina Alta region of the Costa Blanca. The property forms part of a small residence of sixteen independent homes and offers three bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, within a total living area of 272 square metres on a 281 square metre plot. The house has an asking price of €920,000 and is key-ready. Views extend over the sea towards the Peñón de Ifach and the surrounding mountain landscape. Moraira and its beaches lie roughly ten minutes away by car.
Within its immediate market, this villa competes most directly with Vista Ifach in Benitachell, a project listed from €920,000, which places the two offerings at the same price level in the same municipality. The comparison then turns on plot size, view orientation and specification: this property offers 272 square metres of living space with three en-suite bathrooms, a private pool and a two-car garage, but a compact plot of 281 square metres. Buyers prioritising outdoor land over built volume will notice that constraint. Further south, the market changes character. Oceanic Apartments in Rojales list from €475,000, roughly half the asking price here, but that project lies on the southern Costa Blanca, a different demand area with a flatter, more inland-resort landscape and a longer drive to the airports of Alicante and the coves of the Marina Alta. Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva starts at €380,000, again reflecting a southern location further from the coast. The premium attached to the Benitachell address reflects the specific attributes of the Marina Alta: the combination of elevated valley plots, sea views towards the Peñón de Ifach, proximity to natural coves such as Cala del Moraig, and access to two established coastal towns, Moraira and Jávea, within a ten-to-fifteen-minute drive. For buyers comparing the northern and southern Costa Blanca, the effective choice is between newer construction at a lower price inland-south, and an established, view-oriented location with mature surroundings at a higher price point north. Comparable resale villas with similar views in the Moraira-Benitachell corridor generally price between €3,000 and €4,000 per square metre, which brackets this property's implied €3,382 per square metre within the local range.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands on an elevated plot at about 142 metres above sea level in the Portet Valley, between Benitachell and Moraira. Distances are measured in a straight line: Cala del Moraig at 2.9 km, Jávea golf club at 1.8 km and Moraira marina at 4.8 km. Alicante-Elche airport lies approximately 79 km away. A car is needed for most daily errands.
The layout provides three en-suite bedrooms, an open living-dining area with a designer kitchen including a central island and BOSCH appliances, a utility room, a covered terrace, a private terrace with solarium, a private pool, a barbecue area, an interior garden and a garage for two vehicles. This supports both permanent residence and seasonal use by a family or by guests.
The villa is key-ready and can be occupied directly after purchase. The construction date registered for the property is 1970, while the current specification, including aerothermal hot water, underfloor heating and ducted air conditioning, reflects a recent build standard. Completion dates and handover are indicative and should be confirmed with the seller.
The plot measures 281 square metres, which is compact relative to the 272 square metres of built living area; outdoor space is arranged vertically across terraces and solarium rather than as a large garden. There is no communal facilities zone beyond the shared residence of sixteen homes. Public transport is limited to two lines with six stops, so residents depend on a car.
This property fits a buyer seeking a turnkey, low-maintenance villa with sea views and modern installations rather than a large plot of land. The en-suite bedroom layout and the two-car garage make it workable for a family settling permanently in the Marina Alta, as well as for a household using it as a second home with space for guests. The specification level, including aerothermal hot water, underfloor heating, ducted air conditioning with per-room thermostats and a roof area prepared for solar panels, points to buyers who value low running costs over the long term. It is less suited to those wanting extensive private grounds: the 281 square metre plot means the outdoor space consists of terraces, solarium, pool and a modest interior garden. Buyers who want to walk to shops, restaurants or the beach will need to adjust expectations; the nearest beach is about 2.9 km away as the crow flies and daily amenities require a short drive. The location between Moraira and Jávea appeals to those who want a quiet residential valley setting within ten minutes of a coastal town, rather than life in a busy resort centre. Households without a car will find the two public transport lines and six stops insufficient for practical daily use.
The build specification is documented in detail. The structure consists of a reinforced concrete foundation, basement walls and slabs. The façade combines white-toned rendering with large-format porcelain tiling, monocapa render and glass panels. Interior partitions use laminated plasterboard with rock wool insulation, false ceilings are fitted on all floors and the PVC downspouts are soundproofed, which together address both acoustic and thermal performance. The joinery is high-end aluminium with double glazing, roller blinds and motorised Venetian blinds in the bedrooms. Climate control is a layered system: an aerothermal unit produces domestic hot water, electric underfloor heating warms the floors, and ducted air conditioning with a heat pump allows independent thermostatic control per room. A technical area on the roof is prepared for future solar panel installation. The kitchen is furnished with a central island and equipped throughout with BOSCH appliances, and the built-in wardrobes are fully lined with integrated fittings. Security is covered by an alarm system. The garage offers independent parking for two vehicles with pre-installation for an electric charging point. Buyers should verify on viewing which elements are included as standard and which are optional, and confirm the actual energy performance certificate, since stated ratings are indicative until validated.
The asking price is fixed at €920,000. For this amount the buyer acquires a key-ready detached villa of 272 square metres with three en-suite bedrooms, a private pool, a two-car garage and a plot of 281 square metres, within a small residence of sixteen independent homes. The price translates to roughly €3,382 per square metre of living area. For regional context, the comparable Vista Ifach project in Benitachell lists from the same price level, while new-build apartments in Rojales and villas in Daya Nueva start materially lower. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to confirmation of the purchase process and any community arrangements within the sixteen-home residence.
Daily life at this property is organised around the view and the terraces. The elevated position on the edge of the Portet Valley gives sightlines over the sea towards the Peñón de Ifach and across the mountain slopes that frame the valley. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedrooms and living area bring that landscape into the routine of the day: morning light in the bedrooms, changing colour over the rock of Ifach in the late afternoon. The three en-suite bathrooms mean the house works comfortably for a family or for households that regularly host guests, since each bedroom functions independently. The living-dining room connects directly to the kitchen, which is furnished with a central island and fully equipped with BOSCH appliances, so cooking and socialising take place in one continuous space that opens onto the terrace. Outside, the day can shift between the private pool, the barbecue area, the interior garden and the solarium. The garage accommodates two cars and is pre-wired for an electric vehicle charging point, with an EV charging station also available 2.5 km away as the crow flies. For shopping, banks and restaurants, residents drive: within two kilometres there are five restaurants, three banks and one café. Moraira's centre and marina are about ten minutes by car, which is where most weekly errands, dining and health services are concentrated. The residence of sixteen homes keeps the immediate surroundings low-density and quiet, particularly outside the summer months when the coastal towns grow busier.
The Portet Valley setting places the villa in a low-density residential zone between Benitachell village and Moraira. Within a two-kilometre radius there are five restaurants, three banks and one café, which covers basic daily needs but not full weekly shopping; most residents do that in Moraira, Benitachell or Teulada, all within a short drive. The municipal sports centre in Teulada lies 3.1 km away as the crow flies and offers indoor facilities. For boating and waterfront life, Club Náutico Moraira is 4.8 km away, with the marinas of Jávea and Les Basetes at 8.3 km and 9.3 km respectively. The area remains quiet outside the summer season, when coastal traffic and restaurant occupancy in Moraira increase noticeably. The residence of sixteen homes itself is a defined community, so neighbours are close but the density stays low. Elevation of about 142 metres means the plot sits above the valley floor, which secures the views but also implies slopes on access roads and steps between terraced outdoor areas.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Benitachell sits in the Marina Alta comarca of the northern Costa Blanca, between Moraira to the south and Jávea to the north, with Teulada inland. The position places the villa roughly equidistant from two coastal towns and about 79 km from Alicante-Elche airport and 100 km from Valencia airport, meaning either city is reachable within about an hour to an hour and a half by road. Within the wider coastal region, the area is characterised by smaller municipalities, coves and agricultural valleys rather than high-rise resort development.
Distances below are straight-line; actual road distances are longer. The nearest beaches are Cala del Moraig at 2.9 km, Cala dels Testos at 3.0 km and Cala de Llebeig at 3.6 km, all coves on the rugged coastline south of the property. Moraira's beaches and marina are roughly ten minutes away by car. For golfers, Club de Golf Jávea is 1.8 km away and Club de Golf Ifach 6.0 km. Airports: Alicante-Elche (ALC) at approximately 79 km and Valencia (VLC) at approximately 100 km, both around an hour to seventy-five minutes by road; Málaga airport is roughly 468 km away and not practical for regular use. Public transport is limited to two lines with six stops in the area, so a car is effectively required. Electric vehicle charging is available at a station 2.5 km away, with further options at 6.4 km and 7.4 km.

Benitachell records an average annual temperature of 18.2 °C, with monthly averages ranging from about 11 °C in winter to 26 °C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea water at 20 °C or above, lasts around five months, so the pool and the nearby coves are in comfortable use from late spring into early autumn. The villa sits at 142 metres above sea level, which moderates summer heat slightly compared with the immediate coast and provides the elevation behind the panoramic views. The valley location means mountain slopes to the interior and open sea views to the east, and the surrounding terrain is characterised by terraced hillsides, pine cover and the limestone cliffs that form the coves at Moraig, Testos and Llebeig. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, and the long dry season makes water management and the planted garden a seasonal consideration for owners.

The closest coastal options are the coves south of Benitachell: Cala del Moraig at 2.9 km, known for its cliff setting and clear water, Cala del Testos at 3.0 km and Cala de Llebeig at 3.6 km, the latter accessible partly on footpaths through the surrounding natural area. These are coves rather than full-service town beaches; wider sandy beaches and promenades are found in Moraira and Jávea within a ten-to-fifteen-minute drive. Golf is well covered: Club de Golf Jávea lies 1.8 km away as the crow flies and Club de Golf Ifach 6.0 km, with a further course at Llebeig 10.6 km distant. For water sports and mooring, three marinas fall within ten kilometres. On land, the municipal sports centre in Teulada at 3.1 km provides indoor sports facilities, and the valley's footpaths give direct walking access into the local hills.
