Why buy a finca in Benissa?
Benissa sits between the towns of Calpe and Moraira, offering a level of privacy and space that coastal properties cannot match. Its terrain of vineyards, almond trees and olive groves, protected by strict zoning controls on rustic land, means supply of rural property on the Costa Blanca Norte stays limited – and prices have remained stable over the past decade as a result.
With land sizes ranging from 2,000 m² to over 20,000 m², country houses for sale in Benissa sit within 15 minutes of fine dining, sandy beaches and international schools – while offering a degree of seclusion that coastal urbanisations simply cannot provide.
