Townhouse for sale in Altea, Alicante

The only new-build house in Altea’s Old Town.

Among century-old streets of lime and stone, this is a completely new building. It has all the charm of traditional Altea, without the usual problems of old houses: damp, noise, cold winters and endless repairs.

The house was designed by Braun Fuentes Studio, an architecture and design practice based in Altea. It does not imitate the past. Instead, it takes what made the village houses work and turns it into a calm, contemporary home that has been very carefully resolved. Curves carry the light through the house, there is a double-height space, and the palette of noble materials includes natural stone, oak, iroko, iron and lime.

New, independent structure, founded on 18 micropiles around 9 metres deep.

Aerothermal heat pump for heating, cooling and domestic hot water.
