This detached villa stands in the Cumbre del Sol residential area of Benitachell, on the Costa Blanca North, and has a fixed asking price of €950,000. The house offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, 170 m² of living space and a 656 m² plot with a private pool and terraces. Originally completed in 1970 and since renovated, the property is key-ready. Panoramic views of the Mediterranean are present from every room. The situation at approximately 142 metres above sea level combines outlook with proximity to the coves of the Marina Alta coastline.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa lies in Cumbre del Sol, a hillside residential zone within the municipality of Benitachell in the Marina Alta comarca. The nearest beaches, including Cala del Moraig at 2.9 km straight-line, are reachable within a short drive. Jávea Golf Club sits 1.8 km away as the crow flies, and Moraira's marina lies 4.8 km distant. Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 79 km away in a direct line.
The house provides three bedrooms and three bathrooms across 170 m², suited to a household needing guest accommodation or a work space. A garage with additional storage and underfloor heating in the living room support year-round residence. Terraces and a private pool extend the usable living area outdoors. High water pressure and instant hot water are installed throughout.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. The villa dates from 1970 and has been renovated since. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can be occupied directly after purchase. The stated completion date of 1970 is indicative and derived from property records; buyers should verify the exact renovation history through the standard conveyancing process.
The property offers three bedrooms on a single plot; larger households may find the capacity limited. No mention is made of air conditioning beyond the underfloor heating in the living room. Public transport in Benitachell consists of two lines with six stops, so daily life without a car is restricted. The villa is a resale from 1970, so construction-era documentation and community rules for Cumbre del Sol should be reviewed.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A couple or family seeking a permanent residence on the Costa Blanca North will find the three bedrooms, underfloor heating in the living room, high water pressure and instant hot water supportive of year-round living, while the garage and storage simplify relocation. Buyers wanting a second home with strong letting potential benefit from the sea views from every room, the private pool and the proximity of the Cala del Moraig coves, all features in demand in the holiday rental market. Those who value outlook and tranquillity over urban density will recognise the appeal of Cumbre del Sol: a hillside residential area at about 142 metres elevation, quiet outside the summer months, with the coastline visible from the house. Golf players are within 1.8 km straight-line of Jávea Golf Club and 6.0 km of Club de Golf Ifach. The property is less suitable for buyers who want to walk to extensive shopping, nightlife or a full urban centre, or for households needing more than three bedrooms. A dependence on the car is a practical reality here: public transport covers two lines with six stops. Buyers prioritising a new-build warranty should also note the 1970 origin, albeit renovated, and weigh that against the completed, immediately available condition and the established garden and pool.
The villa has been renovated, with refreshed interiors documented and visible in the current presentation: a modern bathroom finished in marble with a window, bright bedrooms oriented towards the sea, and a lounge opening onto the pool terrace with ocean views. The technical specification includes underfloor heating in the living room, an installation that improves winter comfort in a house of this age. Water systems have been upgraded, with high pressure and instant hot water throughout, a practical point that distinguishes the property from many older coastal homes. Sanitary provision consists of three bathrooms, giving each bedroom area reasonable independence. Built area is approximately 176 m² according to the title deed, against a marketed living area of 170 m²; the difference reflects measurement conventions and should be verified against the deed during due diligence. The house dates from 1970, which means the underlying structure predates current building regulations. Buyers are advised to request the technical inspection report (ITE or equivalent where applicable), confirm the legality of any extensions or terrace modifications, and review the community rules and fees of Cumbre del Sol. The garage with additional storage adds functional capacity rarely found in newer villas at this price level. Overall, the finishing standard reads as a considered renovation of an established property rather than a developer-led new build: individual choices rather than a standardised package, with the advantage that the result is complete and inspectable today.
The asking price is fixed at €950,000 for this existing home. This covers a renovated detached villa with 170 m² of living space on a 656 m² plot, including the private pool, terraces and garage with storage. The title deed indicates approximately 176 m² of built area, calculated from the surfaces stated in the deed, a slight difference from the marketing figure that buyers should clarify. As a key-ready resale, there is no construction timeline; availability follows the standard purchase process. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region, such as Vista Ifach in Benitachell, start from €920,000, placing this property within the local price band for detached homes with sea views. Additional purchase costs and taxes are not included in the asking price.
Daily life at this villa revolves around its elevated position and outdoor spaces. Mornings can begin on a terrace overlooking the sea, with the orientation and outlook shaped by the Cumbre del Sol hillside setting. The pool and terraces function as extensions of the 170 m² interior for much of the year, supported by a regional climate with average monthly temperatures between 11 and 26 °C and an annual average of 18.2 °C. Inside, the layout of three bedrooms and three bathrooms accommodates a family or a couple with regular guests, and the garage with extra storage is practical for both permanent residence and holiday use. The surrounding residential area is quiet in character, with amenities within 2 km limited to five restaurants, three banks and one café, enough for basic needs, but grocery shopping and larger errands generally involve a short drive to Benitachell village, Moraira or Jávea. A car is effectively necessary. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons: busier in summer when coastal tourism peaks, noticeably calmer outside it. For residents, the practical pattern is one of small trips, down to the coves at Cala del Moraig, 2.9 km away as the crow flies, along to the marina at Moraira, or onto the N-332 and AP-7 for wider travel. The favourable position in relation to the wind, noted in the property documentation, contributes to comfortable terrace use across the seasons.
The immediate surroundings are those of a established hillside urbanisation. Within 2 km there are five restaurants, three banks and one café, covering basic daily needs. The beaches of the area are the coves of the Marina Alta coastline: Cala del Moraig at 2.9 km, Cala dels Testos at 3.0 km and Cala de Llebeig at 3.6 km, all measured in a straight line, with road distances somewhat longer due to the terrain. Sports facilities include the Polideportivo Municipal Teulada at 3.1 km. For boating and waterfront leisure, Club Náutico Moraira lies 4.8 km away, Club Náutico de Jávea at 8.3 km and Les Basetes at 9.3 km, each a short drive along the coast road. Electric-vehicle charging is available at three points within roughly 2.5 to 7.4 km. The elevation of 142 metres means many local roads include gradients; this is normal for the area but relevant for anyone with mobility considerations. Benitachell village and the neighbouring towns of Moraira and Teulada provide supermarkets, schools and health services within a modest driving radius. The area's character is residential and calm, with activity concentrated in the summer months and quieter conditions from autumn to spring. Public transport exists, two lines and six stops, but serves local connections rather than comprehensive commuting, reinforcing the need for a car.
The map shows the villa's position on the Cumbre del Sol hillside above the Benitachell coastline. Marked distances are straight-line: the Cala del Moraig cove, Jávea Golf Club and the marinas of Moraira and Jávea indicate how the key amenities of the Marina Alta cluster within a short driving radius of the property.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Benitachell occupies the coastal stretch of the Marina Alta between Moraira and Jávea, in the north of the Alicante province. Within the region, it functions as a smaller residential municipality within the orbit of these two better-known coastal towns, both reachable in minutes by car. Larger regional centres, Alicante at 69 km, Elche at 90 km and Valencia at 94 km straight-line, define the wider urban catchment, with the AP-7 motorway providing the connection. Compared with the Costa del Sol further south, this section of the Costa Blanca offers a quieter, less densely developed coastal profile, with median provincial income of €15,750 reflecting a different economic base from the Marbella area.
Accessibility is defined primarily by road. The villa is reached via the local road network of Cumbre del Sol, connecting to the N-332 coastal road and the AP-7 motorway, which links south towards Alicante and north towards Valencia and Denia. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 79 km away as the crow flies, typically under an hour and a half by car; Valencia Airport (VLC) is around 100 km straight-line and a comparable drive north. Málaga airport, at roughly 468 km, is not a practical option for regular travel. Beach access requires a car or a substantial walk given the elevation: the nearest cove, Cala del Moraig, is 2.9 km in a direct line. Golf is closer than the sea, Jávea Golf Club at 1.8 km straight-line and Club de Golf Ifach at 6.0 km. For regional cities, Alicante lies 69 km away, Elche 90 km and Valencia 94 km, all measured directly. Public transport coverage is limited, so the practical mobility model for this address is one or more cars per household, using the garage included with the property.

Benitachell sits at 142 metres above sea level on the coastal ridge between Moraira and Jávea. The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 11 °C in the coolest month to 26 °C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.2 °C, a pattern that supports outdoor use of the pool and terraces across a long season. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts approximately five months, roughly June through October. Winters are mild by northern European standards, and the underfloor heating in the living room addresses the cooler months, though the property's broader heating provision should be assessed for full-time winter residence. The hillside position introduces gradients in the immediate surroundings; combined with the elevation, it explains the panoramic sea views from the house. Rainfall on the Costa Blanca North is moderate and concentrated in autumn and early spring, while sunshine hours are high year-round, favouring the outdoor orientation of the property. The noted favourable position in relation to the wind reduces exposure on the terraces during the breezier months.

The coastline near Benitachell is defined by small coves rather than long sandy beaches. Cala del Moraig, 2.9 km away in a straight line, is the best-known local beach, notable for its cliff setting and the Cova dels Arcs sea cave. Cala dels Testos at 3.0 km and Cala de Llebeig at 3.6 km are quieter, reached via paths from the Granadella and Moraira directions. For broader beach facilities, the bays of Moraira and Jávea are a short drive. Golf options are close: Jávea Golf Club at 1.8 km straight-line and Club de Golf Ifach at 6.0 km near Benissa, with a further course at 10.6 km. Sailing and motorboating are served by three marinas within about 10 km, Moraira (4.8 km), Jávea (8.3 km) and Les Basetes (9.3 km). Land sports facilities include the Polideportivo Municipal Teulado at 3.1 km. Hiking routes run through the coastal cliffs and inland valleys of the Marina Alta. The recreation profile of the area is thus water- and nature-oriented rather than urban; the swimming window of roughly five months frames the main season for beach and pool use.

Within its immediate market, this villa competes with both resale homes in Cumbre del Sol and nearby new-build developments. The closest comparable is Vista Ifach in Benitachell itself, a new-build project with prices from €920,000, a starting point that places this completed, renovated villa at €950,000 with a fixed price in the same band. The trade-off is direct: the new-build offers modern construction standards, warranties and current energy regulations, while this property offers immediate availability, an established plot with mature outdoor spaces, sea views from every room and a garage with storage that new developments at this level do not always include. Further afield, the comparison shifts. Oceanic Apartments in Rojales, from €475,000, sit on the southern Costa Blanca, closer to the Orihuela Costa golf belt but roughly an hour's drive from Benitachell; they represent the apartment segment rather than detached villas. Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva, from €380,000, is an inland location in the Vega Baja, without the coastal outlook and cove access that define the Marina Alta. These price differences reflect location as much as property type: the Marina Alta premium rests on its cliff coastline, its calmer development pattern compared with the southern Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol, and the proximity of two established towns, Moraira and Jávea. For buyers weighing this villa against alternatives, the relevant questions are whether a 1970 building, albeit renovated, meets their requirements for construction documentation and energy performance, and how they value an immediately habitable home with proven views against the delivery timelines and purchaser risk of off-plan buying. The fixed asking price provides certainty on budget that
