About this place
This unique 300-year-old finca boasts eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms and is set in a peaceful location in the Pinos area of Benissa. Spread across two buildings, the main house offers around 250 m² of living space over two floors, while a second building of approximately 150 m² presents excellent potential for renovation or conversion.
Surrounded by a generous plot of over 124,000 m², the estate features traditional almond and carob trees, offering expansive countryside views extending to the sea and the iconic Peñon d'Ifach. A charming wood-fired oven enhances the rustic character of this property, reflecting the traditional rural lifestyle.
As part of a protected natural setting where construction is prohibited, this finca maintains its historical charm with the opportunity to restore using authentic materials. The property is already connected to electricity and includes two wells, making it viable for a completely off-grid lifestyle if solar panels are installed. This estate is a rare chance to own a piece of rural Alicante, allowing for privacy and a unique living experience in one of the Costa Blanca's most special neighbourhoods.

Buying property in Spain
Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
