Finca/Country House for sale in Villena, Alicante

An Idyllic and Versatile Estate in the Heart of Las Virtudes Countryside

Discover a superb country property nestled in the tranquil and historic countryside of Las Virtudes, just a short distance from the vibrant city of Villena, Alicante. This unique estate offers a perfect blend of rustic charm, extensive equestrian facilities, and modern, eco-friendly living on a magnificent 4.5-acre (18,046m²) plot.
A Turn-Key Equestrian Paradise
Designed for the discerning equestrian enthusiast, this property is fully equipped and legally licensed. The facilities include:
Rega license: A fully approved "Código de Explotación" for up to 4 horses or other livestock, a crucial and often complex legal requirement, is already in place.
Paddocks & Stabling: Three spacious turnout paddocks, two of which feature automated irrigation systems for easy maintenance. A sturdy field shelter/stable with an insulated sandwich roof provides excellent protection for your animals.
Productive Land: Beyond the paddocks, a delightful field of olive and fruit trees (including apricot, apple, almond, and pear) offers a taste of the self-sufficient lifestyle. The olive trees produce an average annual yield of 70kg, equating to approximately 10 litres of premium homemade oil.
A Note from the Owners: The property is currently home to three healthy, beautiful donkeys. The owners would be delighted if the new buyers chose to keep them, but this is not a condition of purchase as a loving new home can be arranged for them.
Elegant and Efficient Living Spaces
The property boasts two separate, fully modernised dwellings.
Main House: A spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home designed for comfort. The heart of the home is a large, fully equipped kitchen perfect for family gatherings. Relax in the expansive lounge or enjoy leisure time in the dedicated games room.
Independent Casita: Perfect for guests, extended family, or potential rental income, the charming one-bedroom casita features its own private shower room.
Modern Comforts and Sustainable Features. Part furnished
This estate has been thoughtfully upgraded for year-round comfort and exceptional energy efficiency.
Advanced Climate Control: Central heating, fueled by an efficient pellet burner, services both properties. For additional ambiance and control, a traditional wood-burning fire and a second pellet burner are also installed.
Superior Insulation: The external walls of both the main house and casita have been foam-insulated, and all windows are double-glazed, ensuring the homes stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Solar Power: A powerful 16-panel solar installation generates a significant energy surplus, averaging 269 kWh per month, dramatically reducing utility costs.
All-Year Swimming Pool: The stunning 8x4m swimming pool features saltwater chlorination, a full telescopic cover, and a heat exchanger, allowing you to enjoy a swim in any season.
Utility Connections: The property benefits from connections to both agricultural water for the land and mains drinking water from Alicante for the homes.
A Flexible and Versatile Property
While perfectly designed for equestrian activities, this property offers a wealth of other possibilities. The stable could easily be converted into a large workshop; the separate casita could provide a steady rental income, and the main house itself offers a large, comfortable living space. It could be a wonderful holiday home with its all-year swimming pool, the perfect place for a peaceful retirement, or an ideal base for those wishing to enjoy authentic Spanish country living whilst working remotely.
