This is a traditional townhouse in the historic centre of Oliva, in the Valencian Community, listed at an asking price of €195,000. The property dates from 1970, offers approximately 350 m² of built area across six bedrooms and two bathrooms, and is recorded as requiring renovation and restoration work. It stands directly beside the town hall on a traditional street, within walking distance of everyday amenities. The beaches of the Oliva coastline lie roughly 2.4 to 2.6 km away. The property is sold unfitted and unfurnished, with street parking and air conditioning listed among its features.
Set against the wider Costa Blanca and Valencia-province market, this property occupies a distinct segment: large-format townhouses in genuine town centres at low entry prices. The €195,000 asking price for 350 m² of built area, roughly €557 per m², compares with substantially higher per-m² levels along the coastal strips of both provinces, where newer or restored apartments within walking distance of the sea in Oliva, Gandia, Dénia or Jávea typically command multiples of that figure. The trade-off is explicit: this is a renovation project in a 1970 building with street parking and street views, positioned 2.5 km from the beach rather than on it, and its final value will depend heavily on the quality and cost of the works commissioned. Buyers comparing this with new-build coastal apartments in the same budget range will find those alternatives smaller, commonly two or three bedrooms, but turnkey, warrantied and often with communal pools and parking. Buyers comparing with rural fincas or village houses inland will find here a similar restoration dynamic but with markedly better walkability: pharmacy at 30 m, supermarket at 424 m and a functioning public transport stop, which many inland alternatives lack. Regionally, Oliva sits closer in character to Gandia and Dénia than to the resort municipalities of southern Alicante: a year-round Spanish population of about 26,800, an active fiesta calendar of 32 local festive days, and a lower cost base reflected in the provincial median income of €18,550. For renovation-based investors, the combination of entry pricing, six-bedroom volume that can be split across floors, and dual-airport accessibility (Valencia and Alicante each about an hour) forms the core of the case, weighed against renovation cost inflation and the four-month core beach season that governs peak letting demand.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in the urban core of Oliva, a municipality of around 26,800 inhabitants in the comarca of Safor. It stands next to the town hall, with a supermarket 424 m away and a pharmacy 30 m away. The Mediterranean beaches at Platja de Burguera, Terranova and Pau Pi are 2.4, 2.6 km distant. Gandia lies eight kilometres to the north; Valencia is 65 km away.
The house offers six bedrooms and two bathrooms across roughly 350 m², with high ceilings and a traditional layout suited to buyers seeking substantial internal space in a Spanish town centre. Features listed include a private terrace, solarium, private garden, storage room, air conditioning, satellite TV, WiFi and fibre optic connectivity. The kitchen is not fitted, allowing configuration to buyer specification.
This is not a new-build development. The house was completed in 1970 and is recorded as ready for occupancy in legal terms, though both renovation and restoration are required. No phased delivery applies. Works, timing and costs are determined by the buyer's own scope and contractor arrangements rather than a developer's schedule.
The property does not offer fitted kitchen units, furniture, garage or dedicated parking; parking is on-street. It is not a coastal-front property, and renovation works will be required before comfortable habitation. Views are recorded as street-facing only. There is no communal pool or on-site leisure facility. The nearest public hospital is 6.6 km away and the nearest golf course 8.5 km.
This property fits several recognisable buyer situations. First, the renovation-minded buyer: a household with the budget, patience and local trades contacts to restore a 1970 townhouse, and the willingness to live through or manage a building project in Spain, including licences from Oliva town hall. Second, the space-seeking permanent resident: buyers priced out of larger coastal homes who accept a town-centre address in exchange for 350 m², six bedrooms and outdoor space including a solarium and private garden. Third, the project investor: the per-m² entry price, the capacity to split use across floors, and Oliva's position on the Costa Blanca between Valencia and Alicante support a renovation-and-let or resale calculation, subject to local demand and letting rules. Fourth, the phased relocators: buyers intending a holiday base now and a permanent home later, using the restoration timetable to match their own relocation schedule. The house is less suited to buyers wanting an immediately movable, turnkey home, a sea view, private parking or a communal pool; none of these are part of the offering. Households needing close hospital proximity should note the 6.6 km distance. Buyers reliant on public transport will find three stops and one line, workable locally but limited regionally. In short, the match is strongest where the buyer's plan explicitly includes renovation works and values central town living within a short drive of ten kilometres of coastline.
The property is a traditional construction completed in 1970, and its current finish level must be assessed accordingly. Photographic material shows original elements: an interior balcony with arched window, a utility room with an arched doorway, a traditional facade with wooden entrance door and a historic street setting. High ceilings are recorded throughout, a characteristic of the period and region that improves natural light and air circulation but also increases heating volume. The listing explicitly records the condition as requiring renovation and restoration, meaning buyers should anticipate works potentially spanning wiring, plumbing, damp treatment, joinery, kitchen and bathroom installation, and possibly structural review by a qualified surveyor prior to purchase. On the technical side, the house is listed with air conditioning, fibre optic connectivity, WiFi and satellite TV readiness, indicating some services have been brought to the property, though the state of installation should be verified. The kitchen is not fitted and the property is not furnished, so no inherited fixtures constrain the layout. There is a storage room, a private terrace and a solarium, with a private garden. No energy performance certificate rating is provided in the available data; given the 1970 build date and single-glazed traditional fabric likely in place, thermal performance before works will be modest, and insulation, glazing and climate-control efficiency should form part of any renovation specification. Parking is on-street. In summary, the property is delivered as a structural and characterful shell awaiting modernisation rather than as a finished home, and the quality outcome will depend almost entirely on the scope the buyer commissions.
The property is offered from €195,000, equating to roughly €557 per m² of built area before renovation costs. This pricing reflects condition: the house is recorded as requiring renovation and restoration, with an unfitted kitchen and no furniture included. The listing indicated a one-week offer window, so current availability and price should be verified directly. Comparable central Oliva townhouses in restored condition typically trade at materially higher per-m² figures, which is the basis of the investment angle buyers may evaluate. Six bedrooms and 350 m² at this entry price is a scarce format in the local market.
Daily life at this address unfolds in the traditional centre of Oliva, a working Valencian market town rather than a resort. The property stands beside the town hall on a street of balconied facades, wooden entrance doors and neighbourhood traffic. A pharmacy is 30 m from the front door and a supermarket 424 m away, meaning groceries, bread and pharmacy visits are manageable on foot. The immediate radius lists a small number of restaurants, with broader dining and commerce spread through the town. The rhythm here is Spanish-town rather than tourist-coastal: shops observe midday closures, summer evenings fill the streets, and winter months are considerably quieter. The house itself, with its high ceilings and 350 m² spread over multiple levels, suits a household that wants interior volume and the option to reconfigure six bedrooms into fewer, larger spaces or to reserve floors for guests, work or rental. The private terrace and solarium give outdoor space above street level, with the private garden adding ground-level planting area, unusual for a central townhouse. The beaches are 2.4, 2.6 km away, close enough for a short drive or a bicycle trip, but far enough that the address lives as a town house rather than a beach house. Three public transport stops serve the area, and an electric vehicle charging point is 256 m away. A car is described as convenient but not strictly necessary for daily needs, though useful for the coast, hospital visits and regional travel. The restoration work required means the first months will likely involve planning, permissions and building activity rather than immediate settled occupation, a factor that shapes the realistic timeline of living here.
Oliva is a municipality of about 26,800 inhabitants in the Safor comarca, positioned on the Mediterranean coast with ten kilometres of beaches and Gandia eight kilometres to the north. The town combines a historic core, where this property stands beside the town hall, with a coastal strip of housing and beach facilities roughly 2.5 km to the east. Daily infrastructure within easy reach includes the supermarket at 424 m, the pharmacy at 30 m, and an EV charging point at 256 m. The public hospital is 6.6 km away. Sports facilities include the municipal swimming pool at 2.8 km and the sports centre at Piscina municipal de l'Atzúbia, 3.8 km distant, with viewpoints such as Mirador del Michi (2.3 km) and Mirador del Xap (2.6 km) offering walks with views. Valencia (65 km) and Alicante (71 km) anchor the region at either end, with Elche at 88 km. Public transport consists of three stops on one line, functional for local trips but insufficient as the sole means of regional mobility, so a car is advisable for hospital visits, the beach and wider travel. The municipality records 32 local festive days per year, reflecting an active traditional calendar of fiestas that shapes the rhythm of the historic centre, particularly in summer.
The map shows the property's position beside the town hall in Oliva's historic centre, with the beach strip of Platja de Burguera, Terranova and Pau Pi 2.4, 2.6 km to the east and Gandia 8 km to the north. Valencia and Alicante sit at either end of the regional corridor, each roughly an hour by car.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Oliva occupies the southern edge of the Valencia province on the Costa Blanca, 65 km from Valencia city and 71 km from Alicante, with Gandia 8 km north as the nearest sizeable neighbour. The position gives roughly an hour's drive to two international airports. Within this corridor, Oliva is characteristically a genuine Spanish town with a substantial year-round population of about 26,800, distinct from the resort-dominated municipalities further south in Alicante province. Median provincial income of €18,550 signals a modest-cost local economy relative to northern European standards, which is reflected in both renovation labour costs and the price level of the entry property.
The nearest beaches, Platja de Burguera, Platja de Terranova and Platja Pau Pi, lie 2.4 to 2.6 km from the property, a five-minute drive or a feasible cycle. Five Blue Flag beaches serve the municipality, among eighteen along the wider coast. The nearest golf facility is Golf de Gandia at 8.5 km, with the Gregal and Llebeig courses around 20 km away. For air travel, Valencia airport is approximately 78 km straight-line and Alicante-Elche around 69 km, giving a choice of two airports at broadly similar driving distance of roughly an hour. The nearest hospital is 6.6 km away. Valencia city (65 km) and Alicante (71 km) provide the full range of urban services, culture and shopping, while Gandia, 8 km north, covers most intermediate needs.

The area records approximately 3,735 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 16.0 °C, consistent with a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and mild winters tempered by coastal proximity. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, extends to about four months, realistically June to early October. The property itself sits in the town centre at modest elevation; the wider municipality rises to the Safor mountain range inland, with the referenced altitude of 563 m describing the high ground rather than the house. No significant slope affects the immediate address. The micro-moment this climate supports is a solarium: an upper-level roof terrace in this latitude is usable across most of the year for morning or evening sun, and its orientation within the renovation could be planned to capture afternoon and evening light. Outdoor living on the private terrace and in the garden is practical from spring through late autumn.

Oliva's coastline extends ten kilometres and includes several Blue Flag beaches: Corinto, La Goleta, L'Aigua Blanca, L'Aigua Morta and L'Almardá, five of eighteen Blue Flag beaches along the surrounding Costa Blanca stretch. Platja Pau Pi, 2.6 km from the property, is the closest full-service town beach. Recreation inland includes the municipal swimming pool (2.8 km), the Piscina municipal and Poliesportiu de l'Atzúbia sports centres (3.8, 3.9 km) and hilltop viewpoints at Mirador del Michi and Mirador del Xap for walking routes. Golfers can use Golf de Gandia at 8.5 km or the Gregal and Llebeig courses at 20 km. The natural park of the Marjal de Pego-Oliva wetlands and the Safor mountains add hiking and cycling options within the municipality, terrain that contrasts with the flat coastal strip where most beach recreation takes place.
