4-bedroom villa in Dénia

In the quiet Vall de Cavall, between Gata de Gorgos and Jávea, this traditional stone finca stands on about 10.5 hectares of its own land: orchards on flat terraces, olive trees, vines and shady pine groves, with long views across the valley to the mountains. It is offered at €1,800,000.

The property The finca dates from around 1900 and has been kept in its original character: natural stone walls, terracotta floors and wooden beamed ceilings. The house has about 350 m² built over two floors, with a living room with fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen with a large dining table, four bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with patterned cement tiles. A long covered porch runs along the front of the house, with an outdoor kitchen and barbecue, a lounge area, with room for a long dining table in the shade. Around the house are stone outbuildings with a storeroom, a stable and a garage of 113 m², and three walled patios of 87, 137 and 160 m². In total the architect's plan counts 945 m² built. The outbuildings and patios give room for guest suites, studios or a workshop, subject to licences.

The land The estate covers 104,706 m² according to the seller's documentation. The orchards of fruit trees, grapes and olives lie on flat terraces and are watered by a spring. Pine woods give shade around the house, and private tracks run through the land. The house faces east. There is no pool, and there is plenty of space to add one.

The area: Vall de Cavall The valley lies in the municipality of Dénia, reached from Gata de Gorgos. Right next door is the well-known Vall de Cavall equestrian centre and restaurant, so horses, riding and a good table for lunch are on the doorstep. Gata is about 14 minutes by car, Jávea old town 23 minutes, the Arenal beach in Jávea 27 minutes and Dénia 32 minutes. Valencia and Alicante airports are both around an hour and a half away. The surrounding countryside is full of riding and walking paths, and the Oliva Nova equestrian centre is about 40 minutes away.

Investment view At €1,800,000 the land comes to about €17 per square metre with the finca included. Estates of this size so close to Jávea and Dénia rarely come to market. The flat terraces suit paddocks, an arena or a horse walker, and the outbuildings an equestrian or agritourism project, all subject to licences. Note: the Catastro registers 176 m² of housing; the larger areas come from the architect's plan, so a buyer's lawyer should check the registration as part of the purchase. According to the seller, about 40,000 m² of the land has permission for a villa of up to 400 m², and the lower 10,000 m² for a second villa of 400 m². This has not been confirmed and must be checked with Dénia town hall before any purchase decision.
