Description

The property is located in the Els Alforins wine region, among vineyards and almond trees, with the mountain range in the background. It is an open, largely undeveloped landscape, just minutes from Fontanars dels Alforins and Ontinyent.

At its centre stands a renovated, move-in-ready, single-storey farmhouse that retains the character of Valencian rural architecture: rubble-stone walls, Arabic-tile roofing and exposed wooden-beam ceilings.

The house is reached via a private lane. It is surrounded by 37,000 m² of Mediterranean countryside, without intensive agricultural use. Beside the dwelling, the stone walls of former buildings remain; these are listed and have potential for reconstruction.

It can serve as a family residence, second home or base for a rural accommodation project linked to wine tourism.

The house has 129 m² on one floor. The main living room, with a wood-burning stove, leads to a separate second living room with a fireplace. This creates distinct spaces for relaxing, reading or entertaining.

The exposed-beam ceilings give height and character to every room. The floors are finished in light-coloured ceramic, while the wooden shutters let in the light of the countryside.

The kitchen combines handmade blue tiles, wooden worktops and aqua-coloured cabinetry. It opens onto a small dining area with direct access to the outdoors.

The bedrooms retain the white colour palette and wooden beams. The bathrooms, finished in grey microcement with blue ceramic basins, have a contemporary, understated feel.

Attached to the house is an uncovered courtyard enclosed by rubble-stone walls, with a wooden door beneath a voussoired arch. It is an intimate, sheltered space, ideal for a swimming pool or traditional water tank. It is currently unfinished.

Near the house are ruins with substantial stone walls, listed as Protected Assets and Spaces (environmental protection). They permit reconstruction of up to 2,400 m², suitable for premium rural accommodation or a boutique hotel.

Fontanars dels Alforins, the centre of the Els Alforins wine region, is home to some of the most renowned Valencian wineries. Ontinyent, the area’s service centre, is close by.

The property combines privacy, landscape and accessibility: Valencia and Alicante Airport are within a reasonable distance for residents and international visitors.

Location: Fontanars dels Alforins, Valencian Community

The property is located in Terres dels Alforins, the wine-growing valley between Fontanars dels Alforins, Moixent and La Font de la Figuera, known as the “Valencian Tuscany.” The landscape consists of vineyards, almond trees and Mediterranean woodland, with the mountains in the background. It is an open, quiet and scarcely developed setting where privacy is assured.

Fontanars dels Alforins, about 5 minutes away, is the heart of this tradition. It is home to several of the most renowned wineries in the Valencia Designation of Origin, many of them located on historic estates that open their doors for tours and tastings: Casa Los Frailes, Los Pinos, Rafael Cambra, Daniel Belda and Vinya Alforí, among others. Throughout the year, the area hosts highly anticipated events such as the Terres dels Alforins Wine Fair.

Nature lovers can enjoy hiking and cycling routes through vineyards and pine forests, along paths connecting with the Sierra de Mariola. It is an ideal setting for outdoor activities, gastronomy and a peaceful, authentic lifestyle.

Peace and quiet do not mean having to give anything up. Ontinyent, about 10 minutes away, is the capital of the Vall d’Albaida and offers all everyday services: shops, schools, restaurants, a hospital and a railway station on the Valencia–Xàtiva–Alcoi line.

The connections are suitable for a primary residence or an internationally oriented tourism project: Valencia is approximately one hour by car away, Alicante Airport about one hour away, and Villena high-speed railway station approximately 20 km away, with direct connections to Madrid.

A rare location combining landscape, wine culture, nature and nearby services, ideal both for living and investing in wine tourism.
