A building plot of 12,800 m² is offered for sale near Moraira, in the Teulada area of the Marina Alta comarca on the Costa Blanca. The land sits in a quiet, elevated position with far-reaching panoramic views that include the sea. Electricity and water supplies are already connected to the plot, and it is sold free from any building obligation. The asking price is fixed at €499,000. Platja de l'Ampolla, Moraira's main beach, lies approximately 0.6 km away as the crow flies, and the town's marina, restaurants and shops are within a short drive.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot is located near Moraira, a small coastal town in the Teulada municipality, roughly 80 km north of Alicante and 100 km south of Valencia. Platja de l'Ampolla beach lies about 0.6 km away in a direct line, and Club Náutico Moraira about 0.9 km. The terrain slopes gently towards the coast, with an average gradient of around 2.2% to the beach.
The plot measures 12,800 m², offering ample space for a detached villa with generous gardens, a pool and privacy. Sea views are present from the land. Utilities are already in place: both electricity and water are supplied to the plot. Buyers should verify with the municipality what building volume and footprint the local plan permits before making plans.
This concerns an existing plot, not a new-build development. The land is sold key-ready and free from builder obligations, meaning the buyer can appoint their own architect and contractor. Any construction would start from scratch; delivery dates for a future home therefore depend entirely on the buyer's own planning and permits, which are always indicative.
The plot offers no built accommodation, no bedrooms or bathrooms, and no finishes. No building contract is attached, so no completion date exists for a future property. The exact buildability, height restrictions and setback rules are not stated in the data and must be confirmed with Teulada town hall. A car is necessary for daily errands despite the short direct distance to the coast.
This plot suits a specific profile: buyers who want to create their own home rather than choose from existing stock. A common situation is a couple planning a permanent move to the Costa Blanca who have outgrown apartment living and want space, privacy and a garden measured in thousands of square metres rather than hundreds. A second recognisable group are second-home buyers from northern Europe who already know Moraira or Jávea and want a project they can develop over several years, perhaps retiring into it later. The sea views and the 12,800 m² surface answer that ambition directly. It also fits buyers with a long-term horizon who accept that building in Spain involves permits, an architect and roughly one to two years of construction before moving in. It suits people who value quiet surroundings and are happy to drive a few minutes to the beach, restaurants or shops, daily errands here are car-based in practice. It fits less well for buyers who want immediate rental income, a lock-and-leave apartment, or a fixed completion date, since none of those apply to a free plot. Buyers who need to be within walking distance of all amenities, or who prefer a managed community with shared pools and gardens, would be better served by the apartment developments in the region. In short: this is land for a planned, self-directed project in a mature coastal setting, not an instant home.
As a plot, the property has no finishes, installations or structures to assess, the quality discussion here concerns the land and its utilities rather than a building. The factual starting points are concrete. First, the plot has electricity and water supply already connected, which removes a common and costly obstacle on rural land in the Marina Alta, where bringing utilities over long distances can add significant expense. Second, the land is sold free from builder, meaning no obligation exists to contract a specific developer; the buyer keeps full control over architect, materials and construction standards. Third, the terrain is gently sloping towards the sea with an average gradient of about 2.2%, which simplifies foundations and access compared with steep hillside plots, and generally allows level living areas with views over the surrounding terraced landscape. The photographic record shows an open, terraced setting with palms and unobstructed sightlines to the coast and valley, indicating that views can be maintained from ground-floor level rather than depending on an upper storey. What the plot does not include: any building, boundary detailing, landscaping or access roads beyond what is visible. All of these, plus soil surveys, retaining walls where needed and the connection from the meter to the future house, fall within the buyer's own construction budget. The 1970 completion date in the records refers to the land's registration, not to any structure.
The plot is offered at a fixed asking price of €499,000. Unlike new-build apartments in the region, there is no price list or tiered pricing: the amount covers the land itself, with electricity and water already supplied. For comparison, completed apartments on the southern Costa Blanca, for example in Torrevieja or Urbanización El Raso, currently start at roughly €160,000 to €227,000, so this purchase is in a different category: land for a bespoke residence rather than a turnkey home. Buyers should budget separately for design, permits and construction. Availability is immediate, as the plot is sold free from builder obligations and without any building commitment.
Daily life around this plot revolves around the rhythm of a quiet residential hillside within reach of a compact coastal town. Moraira itself is small and upmarket: within 2 km of the town there are around fifty restaurants, several cafés, three pharmacies and four banks, which covers most everyday needs without leaving the immediate area. The main beach, Platja de l'Ampolla, sits roughly 0.6 km away as the crow flies, in practice a few minutes by car, together with the smaller Platgetes coves and Cala del Portitxol a little further along the coast. The Club Náutico marina, less than a kilometre away in a direct line, anchors the town's maritime character. The plot itself lies at a low elevation of about 17 metres above sea level on terrain with a gentle 2.2% gradient towards the sea, so walking to the beach is feasible in principle, though the road network means a car remains the practical choice for shopping and errands. Outside the summer months the area becomes noticeably calmer, as is typical of Marina Alta resort towns. Train connections are available at Teulada station, about 4.9 km away in a direct line, with Benissa and Calp stations also nearby, and eleven public transport stops serve the wider area. For anyone imagining a self-designed villa on a substantial piece of land, with room for a garden, pool and outdoor space far larger than a standard urban plot allows, this property provides the raw material. The surrounding photographs show terraced, palm-dotted landscape with open views over the coast and the valley, confirming the elevated, open character of the setting.
The surroundings combine rural tranquillity with unusually short distances to the coast. Platja de l'Ampolla, the main sandy beach of Moraira, lies about 0.6 km away as the crow flies, with Platgetes at 0.7 km and the Cala del Portitxol cove at 1.1 km, three swimming options within minutes of the plot. The marina at Club Náutico Moraira, under a kilometre away in a direct line, adds sailing and waterfront dining. Everyday services cluster in Moraira itself: within 2 km there are some fifty restaurants, four cafés, three pharmacies and four banks. For larger shopping trips, Teulada station and town are about 4.9 km away, and the municipal sports centre of Teulada roughly 4.4 km. The area counts eleven public transport stops, and the railway stations of Benissa (5.2 km) and Calp (9.5 km) broaden travel options. Alicante lies 66 km away in a straight line, Valencia 98 km, making both provinces accessible for day trips. Life here is calmest outside July and August, when the permanent population of the Marina Alta is supplemented by summer visitors.
The map shows the plot in its setting between the terraced hillsides and the coast of Moraira. The direct distances shown, 0.6 km to Platja de l'Ampolla, 0.9 km to the marina and 2.2 km to Golf Ifach, are measured in a straight line; actual road routes are somewhat longer. The town centre with its restaurants and shops lies just beyond the beach.

Moraira occupies a distinct position on the northern Costa Blanca: smaller and more residential than Calp or Benidorm, and more sheltered than Denia. It belongs to the Teulada municipality in the Marina Alta comarca, roughly 80 km by road north of Alicante and 100 km south of Valencia. The town is known as an upmarket, low-rise coastal settlement without high-rise tourism, which shapes both the character of the area and the type of buyer it attracts. Large cities remain within reach: Alicante at 66 km and Valencia at 98 km straight-line distance offer full urban services, hospitals and international travel connections.
Accessibility is one of the plot's practical strengths. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 75 km away as the crow flies, and Valencia Airport (VLC) about 103 km, giving a choice of two international airports, actual driving distances are longer than these direct figures. Malaga Airport, at roughly 465 km, is too far to be a realistic option. By rail, Teulada station lies 4.9 km away in a direct line, with Benissa at 5.2 km and Calp at 9.5 km, connecting to the Alicante, Valencia coastal line. Eleven public transport stops serve the immediate area. By car, the AP-7 motorway and the N-332 coast road run inland of Moraira, linking the town to Jávea, Denia, Calp and Benidorm. Beaches, the marina, golf and the town centre are all within a five-to-ten minute drive of the plot; a car remains necessary for daily life, which is the norm in this part of the coast.

The climate data for Moraira points to mild winters and warm summers: average monthly temperatures range from about 11°C in the coldest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.3°C. The swimming season lasts around five months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C, roughly May or June through October. The plot itself sits at a low elevation of about 17 metres above sea level, on a gentle 2.2% slope towards the coast, so no strenuous climbing is involved in reaching the beach area. Frost and extreme heat are rare on this part of the coast thanks to the moderating effect of the sea. Nature options nearby include the viewpoints at Cova del Morro del Bou (2.6 km), Cova Toni el Senyalat (3.1 km) and Mirador Moraig (3.7 km), which sit on the wooded cliffs south of Moraira and are popular walking destinations, giving residents direct access to coastal trails without driving far.

Moraira's beaches are among its strongest assets. Platja de l'Ampolla, 0.6 km from the plot as the crow flies, is the town's main sandy beach, backed by the old fisherman's quarter. Platja de les Platgetes (0.7 km) combines sand and rock, and Cala del Portitxol (1.1 km) is a sheltered gravel cove for quieter swimming. For boating, Club Náutico Moraira lies 0.9 km away and the Les Basetes marina 5.2 km. Golfers have three courses within reach: Club de Golf Ifach at 2.2 km, one of the closest courses to any home on this coast, plus Club de Golf Jávea at 6.2 km and Llebeig at 13.6 km. A community swimming pool sits 0.5 km away and the Montecala Pool at 2.7 km, while the municipal sports centre of Teulada (4.4 km) offers indoor facilities. With roughly fifty restaurants within 2 km, the leisure offer within a short radius is broad for a town of this size.

Within its region, this plot plays a different game from the nearby apartment developments. The listed comparables, apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000, a key-ready building there from €169,000, and the Oasis Laguna II project in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000, all sit on the southern Costa Blanca, roughly an hour or more south of Moraira. That stretch of coast around Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa is denser, more touristic and oriented towards volume: compact apartments, communal pools and holiday rentals. The Marina Alta around Moraira, Teulada and Jávea is the opposite profile: low-rise building restrictions, a permanent international resident population, larger plots and consistently higher land values. At €499,000 for 12,800 m², the price works out at roughly €39 per square metre of land, a figure that must be read against local buildability rules, since the value lies partly in the permitted use and partly in the views and utilities already present. A comparable equation in Torrevieja simply does not exist, because plots of this size are not part of that market's supply. Buyers weighing this plot against a finished apartment face a trade-off rather than a ranking: the apartment delivers immediate use, rental potential and fixed costs; the plot delivers space, privacy, sea views and full design freedom, at the price of one to two years of planning and construction and a separate building budget. Positionally, Moraira also benefits from lying between two airports, Alicante at about 75 km and Valencia at about 103 km straight-line, which widens flight options compared with areas served by one airport alone. Golf, marinas and Blue Flag-style beaches sit within a few kilometres, which is consistent with the area's positioning as one of the quieter, more mature corners of the Costa Blanca.
