Located inland in the province of Alicante, it provides mountain views and is covered with olive and almond trees that require maintenance.

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot is situated inland in the province of Alicante, with close proximity to the town of Villena. This offers a rural setting while amenities like shops and restaurants are within walking distance. Its elevation of 528 meters above sea level ensures a stable climate and views of the surrounding hills and mountains.
This land is suitable for those seeking a tranquil, natural environment with the possibility to design a home aligned with an off-grid lifestyle. The presence of mature olive and almond trees adds character. The limited building potential (up to 5% of the plot) influences the scale of the residence and outbuildings to be constructed.
This is a building plot. The land is already planted with olive and almond trees. There is no active construction; the focus is on the potential for future development. A building permit and design are required to realize the building potential. Architects and construction partners can be recommended.
The location requires an off-grid approach for water and electricity. The buildable area is limited to a maximum of 5% of the total plot. Maintenance of the existing olive and almond trees is the owner's responsibility. The distance to major cities and the coastline is considerable.
This plot is a suitable choice for the seasoned investor or the dreamer looking to realize a project in an authentic Spanish landscape, far from the coastal bustle. It appeals to buyers with a long-term vision, willing to invest in developing their own self-sufficient home. Individuals who enjoy the tranquility of the countryside, the scent of olive trees, and the prospect of a life off the conventional grid will feel at home here. It requires active involvement in the design and construction process, with a focus on sustainability and off-grid solutions, such as solar power. The location is suitable for those willing to travel a bit further for town amenities, knowing that a supermarket and pharmacy are within reasonable distance. This is not for the buyer seeking immediate beachfront living or all facilities at their doorstep, but for the adventurous spirit aiming to create a unique project in the heart of the Alicante region.
The quality of finishing will entirely depend on the future builder's choices, as this is a building plot. The initial state of the land includes mature olive and almond trees, which, while requiring maintenance, attest to the soil's fertility. The surroundings are characterized by a rural atmosphere with rolling hills. Key considerations for build quality will be the off-grid utilities; this may involve investment in sustainable energy solutions like solar panels and a private water supply, which will determine the technical specifications of the house. The limitation to 5% buildable area implies that the resulting home will be relatively compact, potentially leading to a focus on efficiency and smart design. The natural elements present, such as the olive and almond trees and the mountainous landscape, offer a potentially inspiring framework for the architectural style.
The asking price for this 20,054 m² building plot is €24,000. This positions it as an entry-level opportunity for development in the interior of the Alicante province. The price reflects its status as undeveloped land, the necessity for off-grid utilities, and the limited buildable area of 5% of the plot. While the landscape is already fertile with olive and almond trees, further development requires significant investment in infrastructure and construction. Availability is currently for a single plot, emphasizing its exclusivity for buyers specifically seeking this type of development away from the immediate coastal areas.
This estate, located near the historic town of Villena, embodies a rustic existence amidst olive and almond trees. The over 20,000 m² of land offers considerable privacy and a sense of seclusion, yet the town of Villena with its amenities, such as a supermarket just 447 meters away and a pharmacy 11 km distant, is surprisingly close. The altitude of 528 meters above sea level provides a pleasant climate with average temperatures ranging from 8°C to 26°C and 3,789 hours of sunshine per year. The location is ideal for those dreaming of a self-sufficient life, as utility connections for water and electricity are not standard and an off-grid solution is required. Building possibilities are strictly regulated to a maximum of 5% of the plot area, determining the scale of the residence to be built, including any pools or garages. The landscape is characterized by rolling hills and offers expansive views, contributing to the serene atmosphere. Life here is dictated by the seasons and nature, with a swimming season lasting approximately four months. The proximity to sports facilities like the MIR Racing Villena Circuit at 2.6 km and various sports centers in Villena offers recreational opportunities.
Life in this area revolves around the proximity to the town of Villena, which offers a vibrant center with restaurants, cafés, and shops, including a supermarket just 447 meters away. The location is rural, meaning a car is a convenient tool but not essential for every trip, given the short distance to the local supermarket and the presence of an EV charging station just 488 meters away. The altitude of 528 meters above sea level results in a climate marked by distinct seasons, with pleasant temperatures for most of the year, ranging from 8°C to 26°C, and a significant number of sunshine hours (3,789 per year). Proximity to sports facilities, such as a public swimming pool at 0.7 km and various sports centers, provides recreational opportunities. The combination of rural tranquility, mature fruit trees, and the possibility of an off-grid lifestyle makes this a place for those seeking a slower pace and a direct connection with nature, while basic town amenities remain within reach.

This land is located in Villena, in the northwestern part of the Alicante province, a region bordering Castile-La Mancha and Murcia. Its position is inland, at a significant distance from the popular coastal areas of the Costa Blanca. Villena serves as the capital of the Alto Vinalopó comarca and covers an area of 345.6 km² with a population of approximately 34,000 inhabitants.

Compared to coastal projects like APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH in Torrevieja (from €155,000) and EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER - KEY READY in Torrevieja (from €169,000), this building plot in Villena occupies a completely different segment. The price of €24,000 for 20,054 m² of land is considerably lower than the entry prices for apartments in coastal towns. While Torrevieja focuses on beach life and urban amenities, Villena offers a rural, agricultural environment emphasizing authentic inland Spain. Projects like OASIS LAGUNA 2 - PHASE II in Urbanización El Raso (from €225,000) represent more developed residential areas, often with communal facilities, presenting a stark contrast to the off-grid potential of the Villena land. This plot is aimed at buyers who wish to build themselves and aspire to a self-sufficient lifestyle, rather than opting for an existing property or an apartment with direct access to tourist facilities. Distances to the coast and Alicante Airport are significantly longer than from the mentioned coastal projects. Its value lies primarily in the land and the potential for a unique, custom-built development, rather than in immediate proximity to tourist hotspots.
