Villa in Benimarco, Benissa

Built in 1978, this authentic Spanish villa in Benimarco enjoys wonderful views of the Mediterranean and the Peñón de Ifach. High ceilings, an open upper-floor gallery, a large natural stone fireplace and handmade terracotta floor tiles give it a character that is hard to find in new builds.

On a 1,682 m² plot, the villa has 344 m² built (around 180 m² of living space), with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a guest WC, utility room, kitchen with open bar, large living room and enclosed naya. Outside are a pool, several terraces, a barbecue, summer kitchen and a large double garage. The well-known El Canis restaurant is 400 metres away on foot, and Cala Baladrar beach and Pepe La Sal shopping centre are 2.5 km away.

This is not a standard renovation. The house shows signs of settlement and cracking and needs extensive repairs, then full modernisation, including the kitchen and bathrooms. It is sold as seen.
