This exceptional building plot of nearly 60,000 m² in Villena, Alicante, presents a substantial opportunity for project development. Situated in an urban environment with amenities within walking distance, it balances rural tranquility with urban accessibility. Proximity to local shops and an EV charging station highlights practical convenience. Under local zoning regulations, this plot can be legally subdivided into up to five plots, allowing for the development of multiple detached homes. An existing 30 m² structure adds a distinctive element to its landscape potential.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot is located in Villena, a municipality in the northwest of the Alicante province. It is situated inland, within an urban area offering direct access to local amenities. Its position provides a balance between a natural environment and urban accessibility, with notable proximity to points of interest like Mirador de la Villa.
This plot is primarily aimed at developers or investors who see potential in creating multiple housing units. For individuals, it offers the possibility to acquire a very large private estate, with potential for expansion or building multiple structures in accordance with local regulations.
The plot is currently ready for development. Local zoning plans permit subdivision into a maximum of five plots, each at least 10,000 m². Each future plot allows for a detached house with a building footprint of up to 2% of the plot area.
This is a building plot. There is no immediately habitable existing dwelling, only a registered 30 m² structure. The plot is inland, meaning direct access to beach facilities is not an option. Further development is contingent upon local building regulations and permits.

This project suits investors seeking a building plot with the potential for multiple homes, given regulations allowing subdivision into up to five plots. It is also an option for individuals wishing to acquire a very large piece of land to build an exclusive villa with ample privacy and space, possibly including secondary structures. The urban location, with amenities like a supermarket and EV charging station within walking distance, makes it attractive for those seeking a balance between rural living and urban convenience. Proximity to sports facilities such as a municipal pool and sports hall, and cultural attractions, appeals to a broad audience that values an active and culturally rich lifestyle.
The plot itself is currently undeveloped land, ready for the buyer's construction plans. The existing, registered 30 m² structure dates back to 1995. Further specifications regarding the finish of future homes will depend on the individual building projects realized on the subdivided plots. Local building regulations stipulate a maximum building footprint of 2% per plot, equating to approximately 237 m² of buildable area on an 11,800 m² plot. This provides considerable scope for the design and construction of high-quality detached villas.
This expansive building plot of 59,392 m² is offered from €179,000. Given its size and development potential for up to five residential units, this price represents a significant investment opportunity. The subdivision capability, with each plot measuring a minimum of 10,000 m², offers flexibility for project developers. The pricing per square meter of land is competitive for a plot with such development potential in the Alicante region. Availability is currently for one single plot of this magnitude.

Compared to coastal projects like APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH in Torrevieja (from €160,000) or EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER - KEY READY (from €169,000), this plot in Villena offers a fundamentally different investment proposition. These coastal projects focus on immediately habitable apartments, often with sea views and beach proximity. The Villena plot, conversely, is geared towards land development on a significantly larger scale. It offers the possibility to create multiple dwellings on a vast tract of land, attracting a different type of buyer: the project developer or investor who sees value in land development rather than immediate property acquisition. Although OASIS LAGUNA 2 - PHASE II (from €227,000) also involves new construction, its focus is likely on a complex with resident amenities. This Villena plot, however, offers the freedom to build from the ground up, with a starting price of €179,000 for the entire land parcel, placing it uniquely in the market. The inland location, at an altitude of 528m, contrasts sharply with typical coastal settings, resulting in a different climate and lifestyle.
