Valencia, Alicante, Denia, Spain

In Dénia lies La Muntanyeta, a unique estate born in the 1970s as the grand cultural project of poet and traveller Antonio Armell, who dreamed of creating an artistic centre here to bring art and culture closer to his homeland. His vision shaped a unique architectural ensemble, inspired by the cultures of the Mediterranean and the Peninsula, with emblematic buildings such as a slender minaret, a traditional farmhouse, a Valencian barraca, and various spaces for a library, museum, and art collection.

Today, the property presents itself as an extraordinary opportunity for renovation and development, combining heritage value, architectural identity, and an urban setting that allows for different project approaches.

The estate has approximately 5,358 m2 of built area, distributed as follows:
Main residence: 989 m2
Farmhouse: 1,980 m2
Restaurant: 1,196 m2
Valencian barraca: 780 m2
Minaret: 412 m2
Swimming pool and two ponds: 630 m2
A unique architectural ensemble, difficult to replicate today.

Urbanistic situation:
Classified as Common Rural Land (PL-09) according to the Transitional Urban Planning Regulations of Dénia.

Detached single-family dwelling:
Minimum plot size: 10,000 m2
Building density: 0.05 m2/m2
Maximum height: 2 floors / 7 metres
Approximate buildable area: 2,000 m2
In this scenario, the entire existing building could not be maintained, and would need to be adjusted to the permitted buildable area.

Hotel project:
An increase of 10% in floor area is directly permitted, reaching approximately 5,900 m2 of built area.
If greater buildable area is required, it can be processed through a Declaration of Community Interest (DIC), agreeing on the development with the competent regional government department.

Heritage protection:
The centenary house and the minaret have partial protection, which implies the conservation of the façade, exterior structure, and roof, allowing for a complete interior renovation.
The rest of the buildings are not protected and can be completely renovated or reconfigured. Demolition is not advisable, as it would result in the loss of consolidated building rights.
