Some properties give you a house. This one gives you considerably more ground to work with. Set within approximately 13,000 m² of rustic land in the Benissa area, this renovated country estate combines a five-bedroom main residence, an independent apartment, private outdoor areas and equestrian facilities. At the same time, the property remains around seven minutes from both Benissa and Calpe, with the beaches of Benissa Costa approximately eight minutes away by car. The result is a particular combination: the space and independence of a rural property without being disconnected from the coast or everyday services. THE LAND IS PART OF THE PROPERTYThe defining feature here is not the 320 m² house alone, but the relationship between the house and its surroundings. The property sits within approximately 13,000 m² of rustic land with mature Mediterranean vegetation, including olive trees and pine trees. The grounds include a private swimming pool, terraces, gardens, storage areas and equestrian facilities with stables and riding areas. This gives the property a different level of flexibility from a conventional villa. The land is not simply surrounding the house; it provides additional ways to use the property, particularly for buyers who want to keep horses at home or simply value having substantial private outdoor space. The access is fully asphalted to the house, while neighbouring properties in the surrounding area mean that the setting retains a sense of privacy without being completely isolated. A HOUSE WITH A SECOND, INDEPENDENT SPACEThe main residence has been extensively renovated in 2024 and, together with the independent apartment, provides five bedrooms and four bathrooms in total. The apartment has its own living area, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and terrace. Its separation from the main house creates a genuinely independent space that can be used by family members, guests or someone responsible for looking after the property. That distinction matters. An additional bedroom inside the main house and an independent apartment do not offer the same degree of separation. The main house combines the character expected from a Mediterranean country property with features intended for year-round use, including air conditioning, heating, a fireplace and double glazing. There is also both an interior and exterior kitchen. A PROPERTY DESIGNED AROUND OUTDOOR USEThe exterior infrastructure is closely connected to the way this property can be used. The swimming pool, terraces, gardens and mature vegetation provide several outdoor areas, while the stables and riding facilities give the land a specific function that is rarely found in a conventional villa. The current owners have also used the property for horse riding, walking and hiking directly from the finca. For someone looking specifically for an equestrian property, this is therefore not simply a house with enough land for horses. The existing facilities are already part of the property. CLOSE TO THE COAST, WITHOUT GIVING UP THE COUNTRYSIDEThe location is another important part of the equation. Although the property is situated in a rural setting within the municipality of Benissa, the road connection keeps everyday destinations relatively close. According to the current property information, both Benissa and Calpe can be reached in approximately seven minutes, while the beaches of Benissa Costa are around eight minutes away by car. That changes the practical meaning of the rural setting. You can have a substantial piece of land, outdoor space and equestrian facilities while remaining within easy driving distance of coastal towns, beaches and services. Casa del Maco, a rural restaurant with accommodation, is also located nearby. WHO MIGHT THIS PROPERTY SUIT?This property is particularly relevant to buyers whose requirements go beyond a conventional coastal villa. The combination of substantial land and existing equestrian facilities makes it relevant to those who want to keep horses on their own property. The independent apartment adds another layer of flexibility for buyers who regularly accommodate family, friends or someone who may need to stay on the property independently. And for buyers simply looking for more space and privacy than a typical villa plot can provide, the approximately 13,000 m² of land fundamentally changes the scale of the property. THE POINT OF THE PROPERTYThe strongest feature of this finca is not any individual room, terrace or pool. It is the combination of land, independence and proximity. Approximately 13,000 m² of rustic land. A renovated five-bedroom property. An independent apartment. Existing equestrian facilities. Private outdoor areas and a swimming pool. And the coast still only a short drive away. It is a property for someone who does not simply want to live in a house in the Costa Blanca, but wants the house, the land and the way they can be used to form part of the same property. VALUE ENHANCEMENTNicolas Strebel specialises in identifying where thoughtful improvements can strengthen a property's existing qualities.For this villa, the outdoor area already offered a generous pool terrace and open views. The opportunity was to give the space more definition and structure through carefully positioned planting.The result creates a clearer separation between the terrace and its surroundings, adds privacy and frames the pool area without altering the architecture of the property.
