If you are looking to buy property in the northern Costa Blanca, this groundfloor apartment pairs a private garden with the open outlook of a protected natural area.

It belongs to a new build residential complex in Cumbre del Sol, with community pools, a social club and landscaped grounds.

Three double bedrooms, a southeast orientation and a full technical specification complete the picture.

PROPERTY OVERVIEW AND VIEW ANALYSIS

This groundfloor apartment in Montecala Gardens gives you a private garden and an open outlook in Cumbre del Sol, between Jávea and Moraira, on the Costa Blanca North.

It is a new build, currently at project stage, in a modernstyle complex that works equally well as a yearround home or a second residence.

The orientation is southeast, which brings the morning light into the main living spaces.

The home has sea views, open over the natural setting that borders the development, next to the protected area of the Portet de Moraira and Cala Llebeig.

The apartment offers 101 m2 of interior living space, plus 27.95 m2 of terrace and a private garden of 49.45 m2.

The official built area recorded for the property is 200.7 m2, and that figure already includes 71.75 m2 of communal area: the home's share of the development's residential common areas, which is not private space inside the home.

INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION AND LIVEABILITY

Everything is on one level, with direct access to the outdoors.

An open day area and a separate sleeping wing make the layout easy for daily living and long stays alike.

Entrance hall leading to the openplan day area: living room, dining area and integrated American kitchen

Direct exit from the day area to the 27.95 m2 terrace and the private garden of 49.45 m2

Three double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes

Main bedroom en suite, with a private bathroom featuring a double washbasin and a walkin shower

A second, independent full bathroom with shower

The American kitchen is custommade, with Silestone worktops, fullextension drawers and Bosch or similar appliances: induction or ceramic hob, oven, column microwave, extractor, dishwasher and fridge.

All bedrooms have floortoceiling windows opening directly outdoors.

The bedroom blinds are motorised, the wardrobes come fully fitted with drawers, shelves and hanging rails, and the bathrooms are delivered with suspended sanitaryware, extraflat shower trays and fixed temperedglass screens.

Comfort is covered throughout.

Underfloor heating by aerothermal heat pump and zoned ducted air conditioning, controlled through its own app, serve the whole home, with centralised hot water.

A wireless alarm with video verification and recessed LED lighting in the ceilings complete the interior.

Beyond the front door, the development offers two community pools, one of them lagoonstyle and a smaller one open all year, with sunbathing terraces, a social club, a children's play area and established gardens.

The building has a lift and solar panels, and a communal parking space is available for residents; it is unassigned and does not belong to this home.

TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION

This new build is designed around thermal and acoustic comfort.

The external walls combine a block or ceramic brick outer leaf, an air chamber with continuous mineral wool insulation and an inner ceramic lining.

The flat roofs are waterproofed with an EPDM membrane and insulated with extruded polystyrene boards, and the floors carry thermal insulation beneath the paving.

The window frames are highspec lacquered aluminium with thermal break, fitted with Climalit double glazing, solarcontrol film and lowemissivity coating.

Permanent ventilation comes from air inlets in the living room and bedroom facades, with controlled mechanical extraction from the kitchen and bathrooms.

The structure is reinforced concrete, with pillars, beams and concrete joist floors.

Interior finishes include porcelain stoneware flooring inside and on the terrace, continuous plasterboard ceilings and Jung electrical fittings.

No energy performance certificate is available for this home at present; it forms part of the documentation provided as the project advances.

LOCATION AND NEIGHBOURHOOD REALITY

Montecala Gardens sits in the Palmeras area of Cumbre del Sol, a residential setting beside the coast, close to the protected natural area of the Portet de Moraira and Cala Llebeig.

Daily life here is quiet and outdoorsy, with the coves, the tennis and paddle courts and the neighbouring towns all within a short drive.

Distances below are by road:

1 km: Cala Llebeig and the CC Lirios commercial centre

23 km: Cala de los Tiestos

3.6 km: international school (Lady Elizabeth)

3.7 km: Mercadona supermarket

4.4 km: CC Adelfas commercial area

45 km: riding school, tennis and paddle courts

6 km: Cala del Moraig

6.1 km: Benitachell town centre

7.5 km: Moraira

7.6 km: yacht club

7.9 km: Jávea golf course

14 km: Jávea and the Arenal

23.7 km: hospital

97.8 km: Alicante airport

A car is a functional necessity in Cumbre del Sol: the services are spread across an extensive area, and reaching the coves, the sports facilities and the neighbouring towns means driving.

Parking is plentiful throughout the urbanisation, including in high summer.

The streets are residential and carry no through traffic.

ACQUISITION COSTS AND LEGAL GUARANTEES

Buying a new build in the Valencian Community comes with a clear cost structure, so you will know the full picture before you commit.

The purchase carries 10% VAT (IVA) plus 1.4% Stamp Duty (AJD), rather than Property Transfer Tax.

On top of that, budget approximately 23% for notary fees, land registry inscription and independent legal representation.

These fees are regressive, so on highervalue homes the share sits at the lower end.

Total acquisition costs for a new build are therefore typically 13.414.4% above the agreed price.

Your independent lawyer itemises the exact figure against the agreed price, with no hidden charges, and also verifies the legal position of the purchase.

The sale is handled by a registered agent (RAICV) who, by law, must hold professional civil liability insurance and a surety bond securing any client funds held during the transaction.

That gives you a regulated intermediary on your side from the first visit to the signing.

COMMON QUESTIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL BUYERS

What protection does a buyer have when paying before a newbuild home is delivered

Spanish law requires the developer to guarantee any amounts paid before delivery through a bank guarantee or an insurance policy in the buyer's favour, and to receive them into a separate special account.

The guarantee covers the full amount paid, including taxes, plus statutory interest.

Whether this has been complied with on a specific project is something your independent lawyer confirms before any funds are released.

What does the built area of this apartment include

The official built area of 200.7 m2 is the total of the surfaces recorded for the property, excluding the plot.

It includes 101 m2 of interior living space, 27.95 m2 of terrace and 71.75 m2 of communal area.

The communal metres are the apartment's share of the development's shared spaces, not private space inside the home.

What does the buying process involve for a foreign buyer in Spain

Any nonSpanish buyer needs a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required to sign the public deed, register the property, open a Spanish bank account and contract utilities.

It can be obtained through a Spanish consulate abroad, at a designated police station in Spain, or through a legal representative with a power of attorney.

An independent specialised lawyer then carries out the legal checks before funds are released, and the timing depends on each case.
