This rustic plot of approximately 97,000 m² is situated on elevated ground near Moraira, a small upmarket coastal town in the Marina Alta region of Alicante province. The land offers sea views and a south-facing orientation, with flat terrain and straightforward access. The fixed asking price is €2,652,000. Moraira belongs to the municipality of Teulada and lies roughly 80 km north of Alicante and 100 km south of Valencia. The plot carries a rustic classification with a stated building allowance of 2%, which shapes what can be constructed on the site.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot lies in the countryside above Moraira, within the Teulada municipality in Alicante province. Platja de l'Ampolla beach is 0.6 km away as the crow flies, and the town's marina around 0.9 km. The setting combines rural surroundings with short distances to the coast, restaurants and daily amenities, with Alicante-Elche airport approximately 75 km away in a straight line.
The land is suited to buyers seeking privacy and space on a rural scale close to the coast. With roughly 97,000 m² of terrain and sea views, it offers room for a private estate. The 2% building allowance under its rustic classification determines the maximum footprint, so any construction plans must be verified against current municipal planning rules before purchase.
This is an existing plot rather than a new-build development. The land is available immediately, with no construction phase or delivery schedule attached to the sale itself. Any future residence would be built by the buyer under a separate permitting process with Teulada municipality, and timelines for such projects vary depending on design and approvals.
The plot does not include an existing residence, utilities connection guarantee, or building permit. Its rustic classification limits development to the stated 2% building allowance, which restricts the buildable area. There are no bedrooms, bathrooms, or completed construction on the site. Buyers should confirm water, electricity and road access arrangements independently, as these are not specified in the available data.

This plot fits a specific buyer profile rather than a broad one. It suits someone with a long-term plan to create a private estate or finca on substantial land, who values seclusion, sea views and proximity to an established coastal town, and who has the budget and patience to navigate a building process on rustic-classified land. It may appeal to buyers relocating permanently who want space, privacy and a rural setting without sacrificing access to restaurants, beaches and healthcare. It is less suited to buyers seeking a turnkey home, rental income from day one, or a managed community with shared facilities, since none of those apply here. The 2% building allowance means the eventual construction footprint is defined by the plot size, and buyers should engage an architect and lawyer early to establish exactly what is permissible. It may also interest those looking for a land bank in a mature, supply-constrained market, where large plots near Moraira rarely come to market. International buyers comparing this with completed villas at similar price points should weigh the years between purchase and occupancy against the ability to design a residence to their own specification.
As a plot sale, the conventional discussion of build quality and finishing does not apply to the property itself; there are no materials, installations or technical systems on the site. What can be assessed is the quality of the land. The terrain is described as flat, which simplifies construction relative to the sloping plots common in this region, and reduces the cost and complexity of foundations and earthworks. Access is described as easy, though the precise road status should be verified. The south-facing orientation is a practical asset for any future residence, maximising sun exposure in winter and supporting passive solar design if the buyer chooses it. The sea views are a fixed characteristic of the elevated position and cannot be built out at close range given the rural surroundings. What a future owner builds, and to what specification, is entirely open, subject to the 2% building allowance and municipal approval. Buyers should treat utilities, electricity, water, drainage and internet, as items to investigate before committing, as connection costs on rustic land can be significant and are not covered in the listing data. A geotechnical survey of the soil would form part of normal due diligence for a project of this scale.
The plot is offered at a fixed asking price of €2,652,000. This is an existing property listing, not a new-build price list, so the figure applies to the land as offered. The price reflects the scale of the terrain, approximately 97,000 m², its sea views and its proximity to Moraira, one of the more expensive towns on the northern Costa Blanca. For comparison, completed new-build projects in Moraira itself start from around €1,980,000, while comparable developments further south on the Costa Blanca, such as in Rojales or Daya Nueva, start considerably lower. Availability is immediate, subject to the usual purchase process and verification of the rustic land classification and building allowance.
Daily life around this plot would be shaped by its rural-coastal position. The land sits on flat, elevated ground above Moraira, with views over the sea, mountains and surrounding countryside, and a south-facing orientation that receives sun throughout the day. Despite the rural character, the practical infrastructure of Moraira is close: the nearest beach, Platja de l'Ampolla, is roughly 0.6 km away in a straight line, and within 2 km of the town there are around 50 restaurants, several cafes, three pharmacies and four banks. The rhythm of life here is seasonal but not exclusively touristic. Moraira retains a year-round population and local services, meaning the area does not empty outside the summer months the way some resort towns do. A car is effectively necessary for daily living, as the plot sits outside the town centre, though eleven public transport stops exist in the wider area and Teulada train station is 4.9 km away as the crow flies. For a future resident, mornings could involve walks on rural tracks around the property, afternoons at the beach or the marina at Club Náutico Moraira (0.9 km), and evenings in one of the many nearby restaurants. The flat terrain makes the plot itself easy to walk and work, unusual for hillside land in this part of the Costa Blanca, where gradients are often steep.
The surroundings combine rural quiet with unusually short distances to coastal amenities. Within 2 km there are some 50 restaurants, three pharmacies, four banks and four cafes, an unusually complete offering for a countryside location, reflecting Moraira's mature town centre nearby. The nearest beach, Platja de l'Ampolla, is 0.6 km away as the crow flies, with Platja de les Platgetes at 0.7 km and the cove of Cala del Portitxol at 1.1 km. Club Náutico Moraira marina is about 0.9 km away. Sporting infrastructure includes Polideportivo Municipal Teulada at 4.4 km and two swimming pools within 3 km. Train connections are available at Teulada (4.9 km straight-line) and Benissa (5.2 km), and eleven public transport stops serve the area. For everyday life, this means beaches, dining and shopping are minutes away by car, while the plot itself remains outside the bustle of the town. The gradient from the plot towards the sea is about 2.2%, effectively flat, which makes walking and cycling around the immediate area straightforward.
The map shows the plot's position above Moraira, with Platja de l'Ampolla beach 0.6 km away as the crow flies and the town's marina just under a kilometre. Alicante and Valencia are visible at the regional scale, 66 km and 98 km respectively in a straight line, framing Moraira between the two provincial capitals on the northern Costa Blanca.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Moraira sits in the Marina Alta comarca in the north of Alicante province, 80 km north of Alicante city and 100 km south of Valencia by road. It is part of the municipality of Teulada and is known as a small, upmarket coastal town with a permanent population and a restrained building height profile compared with high-rise neighbours such as Benidorm. Within the region, it positions between the larger centres of Calp to the south and Jávea (Xàbia) to the north, both within roughly 10-15 minutes' drive of the coast road. For buyers comparing the Costa Blanca with the Costa del Sol, Moraira offers a quieter, more low-rise character, with Malaga airport around 465 km away in a straight line, considerably further than the 75 km to Alicante-Elche.
By car, the plot connects to Moraira's town centre and the coast within minutes, and to the wider Marina Alta via the regional road network. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 75 km away in a straight line, and Valencia airport around 103 km; actual driving distances are longer. Train stations at Teulada (4.9 km straight-line), Benissa (5.2 km) and Calp (9.5 km) provide rail access along the coast, though from the plot itself a car remains the practical mode of transport for nearly all daily trips. Golf is well represented nearby: Club de Golf Ifach is 2.2 km away as the crow flies, Club de Golf Jávea 6.2 km, and Llebeig 13.6 km. Larger cities, Alicante with roughly 339,000 inhabitants and Valencia with over 800,000, lie 66 km and 98 km away respectively in a straight line, reachable for day trips or airport runs.

Moraira's climate is Mediterranean, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 11°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer, and an annual average of 18.3°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months. The plot sits at roughly 17 metres above sea level, with a gradient of about 2.2% towards the beach, essentially flat terrain, unusual for this stretch of coast where many view plots sit on hillsides. The south-facing orientation means any future residence receives sun throughout the day, including the short winter days. Nature options nearby include viewpoints such as Cova del Morro del Bou (2.6 km straight-line), Cova Toni el Senyalat (3.1 km) and Mirador Moraig (3.7 km), plus the rural tracks on and around the plot itself for walking and cycling.

The coastline near Moraira offers a mix of sandy town beaches and rocky coves. Platja de l'Ampolla, 0.6 km away as the crow flies, is the main town beach, with Platja de les Platgetes close by at 0.7 km and the quieter Cala del Portitxol at 1.1 km. Two marinas serve the area: Club Náutico Moraira (0.9 km) and Les Basetes (5.2 km), the latter popular for water sports. Golfers can choose between Club de Golf Ifach at 2.2 km, Club de Golf Jávea at 6.2 km and Llebeig at 13.6 km, all measured in straight-line distance. For organised sport, Polideportivo Municipal Teulada lies 4.4 km away, and community swimming pools operate at 0.5 km and 2.7 km. Combined with the walking and cycling routes across the surrounding countryside, the recreational offering within a short drive is broad for a town of Moraira's size.

Within Moraira itself, the most relevant comparable is Zaragoza 32, a completed project offered from €1,980,000, below the asking price of this plot, but for a built residence rather than 97,000 m² of land. The comparison illustrates the trade-off at this price level on the northern Costa Blanca: finished homes in prime coastal positions versus substantial land with development potential. Further south in the province, Oceanic Apartments in Rojales start from €475,000 and Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva from €380,000; both reflect the sharper price gradient inland and further from the most established coastal towns. Moraira occupies the upper end of the regional market, driven by limited supply, a low-rise building profile and its position in the Marina Alta, roughly equidistant between Alicante and Valencia. Large rustic plots with sea views this close to the town centre are uncommon, which partly explains the price per square metre relative to the inland comparables. Buyers weighing this plot against turnkey options should factor in building costs, permitting timelines on rustic land, and utility connections, none of which are included in the asking price. The regional context also matters for long-term value: Moraira's planning restrictions limit new supply, which historically has supported prices in mature markets of this kind, though past performance is no guarantee. Against the Costa del Sol, the northern Costa Blanca offers a greener, more temperate setting and shorter winter days, with Alicante airport closer than Malaga (75 km versus 465 km straight-line) for buyers who travel frequently.
