Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Situated in a rural zone of Orihuela, at the foot of the Sierra de Orihuela mountains, this location provides a serene environment. Its proximity to the city itself (a short drive away) ensures access to amenities, while the surrounding nature guarantees space and peace. The setting is suitable for those who prefer a rural existence while maintaining urban accessibility.
This property is suited for buyers who appreciate a substantial plot with countryside charm and are prepared to invest in a renovation project. The available space and land offer possibilities for agricultural activities, self-sufficiency, or simply enjoying extensive private grounds. It is a long-term project focused on realizing a personalized home.
The property is an existing structure dating from 1970, requiring a complete renovation. There is no new construction involved; the focus is on redeveloping and modernizing the existing building. The structure is complete, but the internal finishes and installations need to be renewed to meet contemporary living standards.
The property necessitates a significant renovation, which entails additional investment. Due to its rural location, a private vehicle is essential for daily commuting and accessing more distant amenities. The distance to major cities and the coastline means this location is less suitable for those desiring immediate proximity to the sea or constant access to an international airport.

This property is suitable for buyers undertaking a long-term project to create a property on a spacious plot. It is a choice for those who prefer the tranquility of the countryside over urban proximity and are willing to invest in transforming an existing structure. Individuals interested in agricultural self-sufficiency, such as growing their own food, will appreciate the fertile land and irrigation system. Investors looking to renovate and potentially resell or rent out a rustic property may also find an opportunity here. Families seeking ample space for children and pets, away from traffic and with plenty of outdoor area, will feel at home. It is a residence for lovers of peace, nature, and crafting a personal, authentic living environment.
The property, built in 1970, requires a complete renovation. Its current configuration includes a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and one bathroom, along with a large adjoining storage area and a porch. The construction is solid, but finishes, installations (electricity, water, plumbing), and interior design need full modernization. There is an opportunity to select high-quality materials fitting a rustic style or to incorporate modern accents. The existing architecture serves as the basis for a transformation into a contemporary or traditional rustic dwelling, depending on the buyer's vision.
The asking price for this estate is €150,000. This is a starting price, as the property requires extensive renovation. The price reflects the size of the plot, the built area, and the potential after transformation. Currently, the entire property is available. The pricing is competitive considering the amount of land and the rustic location, but should be weighed against the additional costs of renovation. Variations in property types in the region, such as apartments in Torrevieja, start from €160,000 upwards, placing this estate in a different market segment.

This estate in Orihuela positions itself differently from apartments in Torrevieja, such as APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH (from €160,000) and EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER (from €169,000). These apartments typically offer coastal proximity and communal amenities but lack the space and privacy this estate provides. OASIS LAGUNA 2 - FASE II (from €227,000) in Urbanización El Raso, while also in the region, generally represents new construction focused on residential complexes and amenities. In contrast, the Orihuela estate offers a distinctive opportunity for those seeking an authentic rustic property with substantial land, which is becoming rarer in more developed coastal areas. The price of €150,000 for such a plot and built area is attractive to a specific niche market focused on renovation and rural living, as opposed to the more standard offerings in tourist coastal towns.
