Buying a finca in Alicante: A unique opportunity near Petrel

Nestled in the rolling countryside of Alicante, just 10 to 15 minutes from the town of Petrel, lies this exceptional finca—a rare find for those seeking tranquillity, space, and the opportunity to bring an old family estate back to life. Spanning an impressive 48 hectares, this property offers endless possibilities for those with an agrarian dream or a deep appreciation for rural beauty.

The built area, measuring approximately 350m², consists of two interconnected houses with ample storage and workspaces in between. These spaces were historically used to shelter tractors and livestock, adding to the authentic character of the estate. The finca also boasts a historic underground bodega, extending 30 meters into the mountain, an extraordinary feature with immense potential.

A historic estate awaiting a new chapter

For generations, this finca has been in the hands of a Valencian farming family, a testament to its agricultural past and deep-rooted history. Now, it awaits a new owner—someone who values heritage, privacy, and the chance to restore a once-thriving estate into a dream retreat.

Unlike many other large estates, this finca still retains its original land size, offering privacy and unspoiled landscapes. Whether you envision a self-sustaining farm, a vineyard, or simply a refuge away from the modern world, this property provides a blank canvas for your vision.

The surroundings: Petrel and Elda

Located in the province of Alicante, Petrel (Petrer) forms a dynamic urban agglomeration together with Elda. Together, these towns offer a full range of modern amenities, including hospitals, schools, shopping centers, and vibrant cultural life, while still being surrounded by stunning nature. The region is also known for its traditional markets, excellent restaurants, and thriving shoe industry, making it a perfect blend of tradition and modernity.

Additionally, the surrounding areas are home to a rich wine-growing tradition. Nearby Villena is a renowned wine region, famous for its Monastrell grape variety, which produces robust and full-bodied red wines. With a growing emphasis on protecting and promoting the Monastrell grape, the region continues to thrive as an important hub for viticulture. Wineries such as Bodegas Enrique Mendoza in L'Alfàs del Pi further highlight Alicante’s rich wine heritage, offering some of the most highly regarded wines in Spain.

Despite its proximity to a well-developed urban area, the finca enjoys total tranquillity, offering a true escape into nature while remaining conveniently close to essential services and infrastructure.

A dream for nature lovers and entrepreneurs

This property is not for bargain hunters but for visionaries—those who recognize the beauty of space, history, and the opportunity to create something truly special. Whether you dream of an agricultural project, eco-retreat, or private countryside residence, this finca presents a unique investment in one of Spain’s most sought-after rural areas.

Due to its decades-long vacancy, the house requires a full restoration, but once returned to its former glory, it will be a one-of-a-kind estate in the Alicante province. If this ambitious project is too large for you, explore our other properties with smaller restoration needs.
