Villa for sale in Rótova, Valencia

An Estate to Live In, Create or Transform

Some properties are bought for their square footage, while others are chosen for what they make you imagine. This estate, in the municipality of Rótova, in the heart of the Vall de la Vernissa, belongs to the latter category. It brings together a chalet divided into two homes with independent entrances, an apartment, an open-plan warehouse, a swimming pool and an orange grove that slopes down to the riverbank.

For international buyers, this estate answers a very specific question: how to experience the authentic Mediterranean—the orchards and village life—without being far from amenities, the coast or direct flights home.

The Chalet: One House, Two Homes

This country house is designed for bright sunlight and summer heat, with well-proportioned openings that keep the interior cool.

Its great strength is its layout.

The chalet is divided into two homes, each with its own entrance. From the outside, it is one characterful house. Inside, it offers two self-contained homes that share the garden, swimming pool and scenery, but not a front door or daily routine.

This layout suits situations familiar to many families. Parents can live in one home and their adult children in the other. An international couple can live in one section and reserve the other for family visiting in summer or at Christmas. Those who prefer can occupy one home and earn income from the second, always in accordance with applicable regulations.

The ground floor opens onto the pool terrace. This seamless connection between indoors and outdoors defines life in the house: breakfasts in the open air, afternoons on the sun loungers, dinners beneath the palm trees as the sun goes down.

The apartment adds a third independent unit. It is ideal for guests who can stay without disrupting life in the main house, a support person, a home office overlooking the orange grove or a creative studio.

The open-plan warehouse, located on the western side of the estate, is the most versatile feature of the property. Its open layout can accommodate a garage and workshop, agricultural storage, a gym, an artist’s studio, a multipurpose room or a group space. In most country estates, a space like this would have to be built; here, it already exists. Any change of use must comply with urban planning regulations.

The rectangular swimming pool has a steel ladder and a wide stone surround for sun loungers. Palm trees frame it and provide natural shade over part of the sun deck. It is the estate’s social hub in summer and an asset for any use, whether family, therapeutic, educational or tourist-related.

The Orange Grove Down to the River

The orange grove is the heart of the property. Walking among the trees down to the banks of the Vernissa is an experience no coastal development can offer. It provides beautiful scenery, the scent of orange blossom in spring, homegrown fruit in winter and, if desired, a genuine agricultural activity.

The estate combines rural tranquillity with convenient access to everything essential. The following figures are approximate: they are based on route-planning and transport-service calculators, measured from the centre of Rótova or from Gandía, and the journey from the property may take a few minutes longer.

Connected to Europe

For international buyers, airports are key. Valencia and Alicante-Elche, both approximately an hour to an hour and a half away, offer connections to numerous European cities.

Opportunities at the Estate

A country house where the family lives together, yet everyone has a home of their own. Grandparents can occupy one of the chalet’s homes, with its own entrance; the children, the other. The apartment is available for guests or a support person. The family shares the swimming pool, orange grove and Sunday meals—but not their privacy. With a school in the village, a health centre in Rótova and a hospital in Gandía, the estate can serve as a permanent home, not just a holiday retreat. The warehouse provides additional space for a workshop or gym.
