Townhouse in Moraira

There are houses that face the sun, and then there are houses built around it. This is the latter. Positioned on the corner of one of Moraira Park's quietest streets, this south-facing bungalow catches the light from the moment it rises in the east to the last warmth it offers before slipping behind the hills and the roughly 50 m² of private terrace, split between front and rear, means you can follow it every step of the way.

The setting is Moraira Park: an established residential neighbourhood where the pace of life matches the reason most people move to the Costa Blanca in the first place. The Mediterranean is 1,500 metres away a flat, unhurried fifteen-minute walk. The San Jaime Golf course is the same distance in the other direction. The communal pool is barely 50 metres from the front door.

Between Dénia and Calpe lies the northern Costa Blanca, quieter than the south, with Spanish pine forests, coves and historic village centres. Jávea and Moraira are among the most sought-after residential spots.
