Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Dolores, situated in the Vega Baja del Segura region, offers a rural environment with amenities within reach. This project is located in an urban area, meaning shops and restaurants are within walking distance. While Dolores town itself forms the immediate surroundings, larger cities like Elche and Alicante are a reasonable driving distance away.
The property is suitable for buyers seeking extra space and flexibility. The presence of a separate guest cottage with potential for a kitchen makes it attractive for investors, families considering multi-generational living, or for generating rental income. The four bedrooms and two bathrooms can accommodate larger households.
This is an existing property ready for occupancy. It is not a new construction project, meaning there is no construction phase or future completion date applicable. The property is currently unfurnished, offering the freedom for personal interior design. However, it does require renovation.
The property is offered unfurnished and requires significant refurbishment and renovation work ('TLC') to realize its full potential. Kennels are currently present, which may need to be adapted to the new owner's wishes. The nearest hospital and most golf courses require a car journey.
This property suits buyers looking for a project with potential on a large plot in an authentic Spanish village. It is an interesting option for investors wishing to rent out the guest cottage, or for families needing ample living space and the possibility of creating a separate living unit. Individuals willing to invest in a renovation to create a home to their own taste will find their place here. The presence of kennels might appeal to animal lovers or breeders. The location near amenities in Dolores and the short distance to beaches and golf courses also make it suitable for those seeking a quieter life, yet not wanting to be too far from recreational and social activities.
The property is currently unfurnished and requires a thorough renovation. The description mentions it needs 'TLC' (Tender Loving Care) to restore it to its former glory. This implies that the current finishes are not recent and may be outdated or in poor condition. Potential buyers should budget for investments in new flooring, wall finishes, kitchen, bathrooms, and possibly the installations. The property does feature fitted wardrobes, offering basic functionality. The south-facing aspect ensures ample natural light throughout the house.
This property is offered starting from €375,000, with a total living area of 240 m² spread across a main house and a separate guest cottage. The 4000 m² plot provides substantial outdoor space. The asking price reflects the current condition of the property, which requires renovation, and the space offered by the plot. Comparable properties in Dolores, such as RESIDENCIAL PARIS VIII, RESIDENCIAL DUNE, and MY DREAM II, start from €415,000, suggesting this property has a lower entry price, partly due to the necessary refurbishment. Availability is subject to ongoing sales.

In Dolores, several properties are currently available, including RESIDENCIAL PARIS VIII, RESIDENCIAL DUNE, and MY DREAM II, with starting prices from €415,000, €419,900, and €420,000 respectively. These prices are significantly higher than the current asking price of €375,000 for the described double villa. The difference in pricing can be explained by the condition of the property; this villa requires substantial renovation. However, the larger plots and the presence of a separate guest cottage offer a distinctive selling proposition compared to more standardized new build projects. The location in Dolores itself, an authentic Spanish town, distinguishes it from projects directly on the coast or in more tourist-oriented areas. Its proximity to amenities within the town and reasonable distance to larger cities like Elche and Alicante make the location attractive for those seeking a balance between tranquility and accessibility.
