Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Situated at the foot of the Sierra de Orihuela, in a non-flood zone, this property offers a rural backdrop with views of the Vega del Segura. Its location, partly on urban and partly on rustic land, outlines an estate with potential for both residence and development.
This property can meet a need for space and rural tranquility, combined with proximity to urban facilities. The large plot and land layout offer possibilities for various living and development desires, from agricultural use to project development.
The property comprises various plots with distinct urban designations. Part of the land is zoned for residential construction, with capacity for multiple units, while another part is considered rustic land with potential for urban area expansion.
The current configuration with one bathroom and the need for restoration are clear points of attention. Although there is potential for new construction on parts of the land, the existing buildings are not immediately ready for modern living standards without intervention.

This property is suitable for a buyer seeking a large-scale residential development with rural charm, or for an investor seeing potential in the urban plots for project development. It may appeal to those wishing to restore and expand an existing finca, or for entrepreneurs looking to establish an agriturismo, event venue, or camping facility, utilizing the land's size and water rights. The proximity to urban amenities, combined with the tranquility of the rural area, appeals to a broad audience seeking a balance between serenity and accessibility.
The existing Finca, with a living area of 431 m², requires restoration. The description mentions 7 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 verandas, a kitchen, a bathroom, a patio, a warehouse, and a chapel. The photos show traditional architecture with elements like a vintage staircase and a terrace with mountain views. The structural integrity and materials used during the original construction are not specified, but the condition indicates necessary renovations to meet contemporary living standards. The infrastructure includes a well with an annual water usage right for irrigation, which is a significant practical provision for maintaining the extensive grounds.
The property is offered at a price of €850,000. Considering the plot size (12,441 m²) and the built area (431 m²), including the potential for further development on the urban plots, the pricing indicates the value of both the existing real estate and the land. The presence of multiple plots with different designations suggests variation in development possibilities, which may influence the price depending on specific plans.

Compared to projects like ICONIC in Gran Alacant (from €355,000) and LAS COLINAS in Pedreguer (from €529,000), this property positions itself in a higher price bracket, comparable to SPEC VILLA 148 - MONTE SOLANA in Pedreguer (from €845,000). However, the nature of this property, a Finca - Cortijo with a significant plot size and development potential, distinguishes it from more standardized villa projects. The scale of the land and the possibility to develop it on urban plots, alongside the existing property requiring restoration, offers a different investment case. Where ICONIC and LAS COLINAS focus on new construction with modern amenities in specific locations, this finca offers a combination of rural space, historic structure, and urban development opportunities, explaining its higher price point. The location in Orihuela, more inland than coastal areas like Gran Alacant, brings a different type of environment and price dynamic, focused on larger scale and potential for project-based development.
