Two adorable village houses for sale in Famorca

This is a set of two small, modest village houses that together offer a surprisingly spacious living area. The properties are located on a quiet and pleasant village street, and at the rear they back onto agricultural plots, beyond which rise the mountains that surround the village.

The combined living area of the two interconnected houses is a generous 150 m² + 180 m², offering ample space and potential. While some maintenance is needed in places, and certain practical additions have slightly detracted from the original charm, the houses remain structurally sound and full of character.

With minimal investment and thoughtful restoration, these properties could be transformed into a lovely home, holiday retreat or rental opportunity. Overall, they are charming village houses with great potential in a peaceful and scenic setting. The house has previously been used as a shelter for young people and is set up to maximize the number of bedrooms.

About Famorca and Its Surroundings

Famorca is a tiny, charming mountain village tucked away in the foothills of the Sierra de la Serrella, in the El Comtat region of Alicante province. With only a few dozen inhabitants, this is a place where peace and quiet are still the norm. Narrow streets, whitewashed façades, and the scent of almond blossom set the scene in this traditional village, which has managed to preserve its authentic character over the years.

The location of Famorca is truly unique: it lies in the sheltered Valle de Seta, surrounded by impressive mountain ranges such as the Sierra de Alfaro and the aforementioned Serrella. This makes the area a favourite among hikers, nature lovers, and those seeking tranquillity. The surrounding nature offers spectacular walking trails, breathtaking views, and a rich variety of flora and fauna — and the starry night skies are often all yours.

Although Famorca itself is small, neighbouring villages like Castell de Castells, Benimassot, and Fageca provide more amenities, small local restaurants, and traditional festivals. Larger towns such as Cocentaina and Alcoi are around 30 to 45 minutes away and offer a broader range of shops, markets, and cultural activities.

Situated near to the Jalón valley

Famorca is also surprisingly well connected to the more tourist-oriented Jalón Valley (Vall de Pop), which is about a 39 -minute,  29km drive away via a scenic mountain route. There, you’ll find well-known villages like Parcent, Jalón (Xaló), and Llíber, famous for their lively markets, local wineries, and Mediterranean charm. This makes Famorca a place where you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the pure stillness of mountain life, with the vibrant atmosphere of the coastal valley within easy reach.

Famorca is the ideal destination for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle, and who values simplicity, nature, and a deep sense of space. It’s a perfect hideaway for a second home, a retreat, or a new way of life far removed from mass tourism.
