Fincas for Sale on the Costa Blanca
Would you like to live among citrus groves or olive trees, with peace and space around you, yet only a short drive from the sea and Alicante airport? Then a finca on the Costa Blanca is well worth considering. On this page you will find our current fincas for sale in the Costa Blanca countryside, along with honest advice on what to look out for.
What is a finca?
A finca is a rural home on its own plot of land, usually outside the town centre. Plots range from a few thousand square metres to several hectares, often with orange, lemon, olive or almond trees. From fully renovated with a pool to still in original condition: that variety is what makes a finca appealing, and why good preparation matters.
Where to find fincas on the Costa Blanca?
Fincas are mainly found inland, often a fifteen to forty-five minute drive from the beach.
- Vega Baja (Costa Blanca South): the flat, fertile land around Orihuela, Catral, Dolores and Torremendo, full of citrus groves and palm trees. Close to the beaches and often more affordable than in the north.
- Marina Alta (Costa Blanca North): the green hills and valleys around Pedreguer, Gata de Gorgos, Ondara, El Verger and the area around Dénia and Benitachell. Often with views of the Montgó mountain.
- Altea and surroundings: fincas in the hills with views of the sea and the Sierra de Bernia. Also take a look at our fincas for sale in Altea.
- Inland Alicante: around Villena and the Vinalopó valley there is more space, at higher altitude and lower prices, further from the coast. See also fincas for sale in Alicante.
What to look out for with a finca in the Valencia region
The Costa Blanca falls under the Valencia region, with its own planning rules. We always go through these points with you:
- Legal status: most fincas are on rustic land (suelo no urbanizable), where building and extending are strictly regulated. Check whether the house, the pool and any extensions are legal or recognised by the town hall.
- Land registry and property register: the details in the catastro and the registro de la propiedad must match what is actually on the land. With fincas, surface area and buildings differ more often.
- Water: is the finca connected to mains water, does it have its own well (pozo) or irrigation rights for the trees? In the Vega Baja and the Marina Alta, this is an important point.
- Electricity and drainage: some fincas run (partly) on solar panels and have a septic tank (fosa séptica) instead of mains drainage.
- Access: is the access road paved and passable all year round?
That is why you should always have an independent lawyer carry out the legal checks. Also read our pitfalls when buying a house in Spain and who arranges what when buying in Spain.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a finca and renovate or extend it?
That depends on the land and the status of the property. Strict rules apply to extensions on rustic land in the Valencia region. Have the town hall and a lawyer check in advance what is allowed.
Can I rent out a finca as a holiday home?
In the Valencia region, a holiday rental must be registered and meet certain requirements, and the rules have been tightened in recent years. We look into this with you for each finca.
