Cumbre del Sol: refurbished flat with open mountain views

A south-facing apartment in Cumbre del Sol that is ready to enjoy from day one — furnished, air-conditioned, and set within a residential complex with a community pool. Whether you are looking for a first home on the Costa Blanca North or a relaxed base between Jávea and Moraira, this is a straightforward, honest choice.

PROPERTY OVERVIEW AND VIEW ANALYSIS

This apartment in Pueblo Atenea, Cumbre del Sol, offers a comfortable, move-in-ready home with open, unobstructed views and a south-facing orientation that fills the living space with natural light throughout the day. Sitting between Jávea and Moraira on the Costa Blanca North, it suits both those looking to buy property as a year-round residence and those wanting a low-maintenance second home in a mature, established setting.

The total built area is 50 m², with 48 m² of interior living space and a 2 m² terrace. That south orientation means the home catches sunlight for most of the day — a genuine practical advantage, particularly during the cooler months.

This apartment offers side and partial sea views. The outlook is open and unobstructed, offering a real sense of space and light that the south exposure reinforces naturally.

INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION AND LIVEABILITY

A compact, well-organised home that works efficiently for one person, a couple, or as a holiday base — it asks little of you and gives back comfort and ease. Partially renovated in 2023, it is genuinely move-in ready with no immediate works required.

The layout is single-level:

1. Living room with split air conditioning unit, opening to the south-facing terrace
2. American kitchen integrated into the living-dining area, functional and in its original condition
3. 1 double bedroom
4. 1 bathroom with bathtub

Laminate flooring runs throughout — except the bathroom — installed during the 2023 partial renovation. The kitchen and bathroom retain their original fittings and have not been recently reformed; worth factoring in if a full update is a priority for you. The aluminium-framed windows come with mosquito screens, a practical detail that adds real comfort during the warmer months.

The apartment is fully furnished, so you can arrive and begin living immediately, without the additional cost or logistics of fitting it out.

TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION

The apartment was partially renovated in 2023 — principally the flooring and certain living areas — and is in well-maintained, honest condition overall. The kitchen and bathroom are original and have not been recently updated; the home is entirely liveable as it stands, with clear scope for a buyer who wishes to modernise those spaces over time.

The energy performance certificate records a consumption rating of F and an emissions rating of E. In practical terms, the home relies on the split air conditioning unit for cooling and on supplementary heating in winter; energy bills will reflect this, and it is worth budgeting accordingly. The south orientation does help with passive solar gain during cooler periods, which partially offsets the thermal performance of the building envelope.

The split system covers the living room only; no additional climate control is indicated for the bedroom. The aluminium windows with mosquito screens contribute to comfort and basic insulation, though the overall efficiency profile is consistent with a building constructed in 1993. This context is shared openly so that any decision is made with full clarity.

LOCATION AND NEIGHBOURHOOD REALITY

Pueblo Atenea sits within Cumbre del Sol, a quiet, established residential community on elevated terrain between Jávea and Moraira — two of the most sought-after towns on the Costa Blanca North. The pace here is unhurried and private, genuinely connected to the coast without being overwhelmed by it.

The residential complex includes a community pool, which becomes the natural social and leisure hub for residents during the summer months.

Year-round services within the urbanisation include a supermarket (open Sundays and public holidays, stocked with a wide range of northern-European products), a medical centre and pharmacy, a sports centre with paddle and tennis courts, established dining options, and high-speed fibre-optic internet available through the provider with an office inside the urbanisation.

As with all of Cumbre del Sol, a car is a practical necessity. The terrain is elevated and distances between areas involve significant changes in altitude. Driving to the coast, to Jávea or Moraira, or to wider commercial areas is simply part of life here — and for most residents, a pleasurable part of it.

ACQUISITION COSTS AND LEGAL GUARANTEES

Buying property in Spain is a transparent process when you have the right people beside you. The management team ensures you understand every step and every cost before you commit to anything.

As this is a resale property, the applicable tax in the Valencian Community is the Property Transfer Tax (ITP). The rate structure for 2026 is as follows: 9% applies to the full purchase price for values up to 1,000,000 euros; if the total value exceeds 1,000,000 euros, 11% applies to the entire purchase price from the first euro — it is not a marginal rate, and that distinction matters financially. In addition to the ITP, buyers should budget approximately 2–3% to cover notary fees, land registry inscription and independent legal representation. In total, acquisition costs for a resale property in this region typically fall in the range of 11–14% above the agreed purchase price.

Your independent, specialised lawyer will provide a precise, itemised breakdown based on the exact price agreed — no hidden charges, no surprises.

Non-Spanish buyers will also need a NIE — the mandatory tax identification number for any financial or legal transaction in Spain. Your lawyer can obtain this on your behalf via a power of attorney if you are not yet in the country.

The registered agent managing this transaction holds official RAICV registration number 0074 in the Valencian Community Registry of Real Estate Brokerage Agents. This means the firm is legally required to maintain professional civil liability insurance and a permanent surety bond covering any deposits or client funds held during the transaction — protections that carry real weight in practice.

COMMON QUESTIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL BUYERS

Is buying a resale apartment in Cumbre del Sol a reliable choice compared to buying off-plan?

A resale property in Cumbre del Sol gives you certainty from the first viewing: you see the exact outlook, the real solar orientation, the actual condition of the building, and the established community fees — none of which can be fully assessed when buying off-plan. The 1993 structure has a known history, the community pool and running costs are already in place, and the condition of the kitchen and bathroom is visible and verifiable from day one. For a buyer who values clarity over uncertainty, a resale home in a mature setting like this — partially renovated in 2023 — is a grounded, dependable choice.

What does the purchase process look like for a non-Spanish buyer?

The process follows standard Spanish property law and is fully navigable for international buyers with the right support. You will need a NIE before signing the title deed — obtainable through a Spanish consulate, at a designated police station in Spain, or through your lawyer using a power of attorney. Your independent lawyer will carry out full due diligence before any funds are released: verifying land registry status, confirming the property is free of debts, checking that community fees and IBI are paid up to date, and ensuring planning compliance. The management team coordinates with legal professionals throughout and provides guidance in multiple languages.

What are the total costs I should budget for beyond the purchase price?

For this resale property in the Valencian Community, the main tax is the ITP: 9% on the full purchase price for values up to 1,000,000 euros; if the total value exceeds 1,000,000 euros, 11% applies to the entire purchase price from the first euro — not only to the amount above the threshold. On top of the ITP, allow approximately 2–3% for notary fees, land registry costs and independent legal representation. In total, buyers typically budget 11–14% above the agreed purchase price to cover all acquisition costs. Your independent lawyer will provide an itemised breakdown based on the exact price agreed, so you have the full picture before signing anything.
