Located in one of the most sought-after areas of Torrevieja, just 200 metres from the iconic Playa del Cura, this property combines all the elements needed to enjoy a Mediterranean lifestyle centred on light, space and privacy. The property enjoys a south-east facing aspect, considered one of the most sought-after in the property market, as it guarantees excellent natural light throughout the day, as well as optimal cross-ventilation that ensures thermal comfort in all seasons.

Properties at this price point with outdoor space, views, and a garage are becoming increasingly difficult to find — particularly in established Alpujarra villages where demand for authentic rural living continues to grow. Located in Mecina Bombarón, within Alpujarra de la Sierra, this 2-bedroom apartment offers a practical layout combined with strong lifestyle appeal and long-term value. The property is set on the first floor and comprises 88 m2 built area (approx. 70 m2 usable). Inside, the layout is functional and well-balanced, with two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a separate kitchen, and a spacious living-dining area featuring a fireplace — an essential feature for year-round comfort in this mountain setting. The key differentiator is the south-facing terrace. This is not just an add-on feature — it is the core value of the property. With open mountain views and sun exposure throughout the day, it creates a usable outdoor living space that significantly enhances both lifestyle and rental potential. Compared to similarly priced inland properties, this apartment stands out for three reasons: it includes private outdoor space, it has a garage already included in the price, and it is located in a well-established Alpujarra village rather than a remote or isolated hamlet. Mecina Bombarón offers a traditional Andalusian environment with essential amenities, while larger services can be accessed within a reasonable drive. This positions the property as a viable option not only for holiday use, but also for longer stays or semi-permanent living. From an investment perspective, properties at this level attract consistent interest from buyers seeking low-entry second homes or rural rental opportunities. The combination of price, terrace, and location makes it particularly suitable for short-term rural tourism or long-term value holding. In summary, this is a straightforward, well-priced property that delivers on the fundamentals: usable space, outdoor living, and location. For buyers prioritising value and lifestyle over proximity to the coast, it represents a strong alternative to more expensive coastal apartments. 2 bedrooms 1 full bathroom 88 m2 built / approx. 70 m2 usable South-facing terrace with mountain views Spacious living-dining room with fireplace Separate kitchen Built-in wardrobes Garage space included in price First floor exterior Good condition – ready to use Located in established Alpujarra village

Properties of this size and layout in central Almerimar are increasingly difficult to find—especially those combining large outdoor space with substantial private interior square meters. This is where this property stands out immediately. Located in the heart of Almerimar, next to the golf course and within walking distance to the marina, restaurants, and all daily services, this is a ground floor apartment that offers significantly more space and flexibility than most alternatives in the area. The main living level comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a bright living area, and a functional kitchen. The standout feature is the unusually large private terrace—an outdoor space that effectively extends the living area and allows for year-round use, whether for entertaining, dining, or simply enjoying the climate. Where this property clearly differentiates itself from competing listings is the internal access to a substantial lower level (-1 floor). This area includes a private garage with capacity for multiple vehicles and an oversized storage space. In practical terms, this is not just storage—it is usable square meters that can be adapted into a gym, workshop, studio, or additional functional space depending on the buyer’s needs. Compared to standard apartments in Almerimar, which are typically limited to surface-level living and small terraces, this property offers a hybrid between apartment living and the practicality of a house. The independent street access further reinforces this, providing additional privacy and convenience. From a lifestyle perspective, the location is highly efficient: golf on your doorstep, marina within minutes, and full access to shops, services, and leisure without relying on a car for daily needs. From an investment standpoint, properties with large terraces and flexible lower-level space tend to perform better in both long-term and seasonal rental markets, particularly in established areas like Almerimar where demand is consistent. This is not a standard apartment—it is a high-space, high-flexibility property in a prime coastal location. 300 m2 built / approx. 180 m2 usable3 bedrooms2 bathroomsLarge private terraceGround floor with independent accessPrivate garage (multiple vehicles)Large storage / multi-use lower levelAir conditioningBuilt-in wardrobesSwimming pool and garden (community)East-facing orientationLift in buildingPrime location next to golf courseWalking distance to marina and amenities

A rare opportunity to secure a large-format apartment in the most central and sought-after location in Berja — directly on Plaza de la Constitución. Properties in this position rarely come to market, especially with this level of space. At 160m2 built, this is significantly larger than most apartments available in the area, making it a strong option for buyers who value size, location, and long-term flexibility. The property is distributed across three well-proportioned bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a spacious and bright living-dining area, and a separate kitchen with enough space for everyday dining. An internal patio adds natural light and ventilation, while also providing a private outdoor area — something not commonly found in central apartments. Positioning-wise, this property stands apart from typical listings in Berja. While many alternatives are located on secondary streets or offer limited space, this apartment delivers both scale and a prime address — directly in the town’s main square, surrounded by all essential services. Everything is within immediate walking distance: supermarkets, cafes, banks, schools, and local administration. This eliminates the need for daily driving and makes it particularly attractive for full-time living or older buyers seeking convenience. The property is in good structural condition and is offered unfurnished, allowing the new owner to personalise the space without limitations. It is important to note that the building does not have a lift, which is reflected in the price positioning. This makes it especially suitable for buyers prioritising space and location over lift access, and less suitable for those with mobility constraints. From an investment perspective, the combination of size, central location, and layout makes it suitable for long-term rental or professional use, such as an office or consulting space. Overall, this is a strategically positioned property for buyers looking to secure a large, central apartment at a price point that is difficult to replicate in comparable locations. Key Features: 160 m2 built (approx. 150 m2 usable) 3 spacious bedrooms 2 full bathrooms Large, bright living–dining room Independent kitchen with dining space Interior patio (natural light & ventilation) Balcony Built-in wardrobes Air conditioning Storage room East-facing orientation First floor (exterior) No elevator Built in 1989 Prime location – Plaza Constitución
