Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located inland near Torremendo, Alicante, this project is set in a rural and agricultural landscape. The plot is surrounded by nature, with a protected section of the land remaining untouched. The location offers peace and space, with the amenities of a nearby village within reach, but requires private transportation for most journeys.
This project is aimed at buyers who embrace a challenge and wish to create a home that meets specific living requirements. The existing structures provide a solid foundation for transformation, with potential for an authentic Spanish lifestyle. Ample space for livestock or horses, combined with the possibility of solar energy, appeals to animal lovers and sustainability-conscious buyers.
This is an existing property requiring a comprehensive renovation. The two buildings, a Finca and a wooden chalet, are not newly constructed and are in a state of disrepair necessitating significant work. The property is currently uninhabitable and requires a phased approach to modernization and restoration.
The property is sold unfurnished and requires extensive renovations, including the installation of electricity (solar panels and generator proposed) and kitchen units. The dilapidated building on the premises is excluded from the sale. The rural location means certain urban amenities are at a greater distance, making private transport essential.
This project suits buyers with a long-term vision prepared to invest in a thorough renovation of an authentic Spanish Finca. It appeals to individuals or families dreaming of a tranquil, rural life with ample space and privacy, who are eager to take on the challenge of a restoration project. The ability to customize the property entirely to one's taste, including the potential for sustainable energy solutions like solar panels, is a significant draw. Buyers who value proximity to nature, hiking and equestrian trails, and who do not mind relying on private transport for daily needs, will find themselves at home here. It is also an interesting option for investors seeking a project with potential for value appreciation after successful renovation, or for those aiming to create a unique, rustic dwelling for personal use or rental.
The existing structures of the Finca and the wooden chalet require comprehensive renovation. Both buildings show signs of wear and tear and are not habitable in their current state. The Finca features rustic wooden beams on the ceiling, which can enhance the authentic atmosphere post-restoration. The electrical system and plumbing will need complete renewal; solar panels with a backup generator are proposed as an option for electricity supply. The kitchen in the Finca is currently without units. The structural integrity of the buildings must be thoroughly assessed and potentially reinforced. The emphasis is on the opportunity to achieve a finish entirely according to personal preferences, from materials to layout, while respecting the existing structural elements.
This project is offered at a price of €119,995. This price reflects the purchase of the property in its current condition, including the extensive plot and the two buildings requiring renovation. The price accounts for the necessity of significant investment in the restoration and modernization of the Finca and the wooden chalet. Potential buyers should budget for additional costs related to renovations, installations such as solar power, and potential furnishing. However, the sheer size of the plot, with its protected area, represents considerable value and potential for agricultural or other uses.

Compared to projects like PROJECT LOLA (from €399,000), VILLA ROMA 15 (from €4,450,000), and MONSEMAR (from €600,000), this Finca project positions itself as a significantly more budget-friendly option for those willing to undertake renovations.

While the mentioned comparable projects are likely closer to the coastline or in more established residential areas, Torremendo offers an authentic, rustic experience. The price of €119,995 is indicative of projects requiring substantial renovation, clearly distinguishing it from the more expensive, finished properties in the region. Buyers here are not looking for an immediate move-in home but for a project with potential in a unique location.
