Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
This property is located in Orihuela, a city at the foot of the Sierra de Orihuela mountains. It is situated inland, within an urban environment where essential amenities such as a supermarket (183 m) and pharmacy (167 m) are within walking distance. While offering peace, it is also strategically positioned relative to larger towns and recreational areas in the Alicante province.
With 7 bedrooms and extensive living spaces, the existing mansion offers significant accommodation capacity. The large plot size allows for diverse development possibilities, such as building multiple homes, a rural hotel, an event venue, or a campsite. This property appeals to buyers seeking space, transformation potential, and a unique location for project development.
The project is included in Orihuela's PGOU (urban development plan), indicating planned development. Part of the land is designated for urban residential construction, with the possibility to build townhouses or detached houses. Another part of the land is rustic but equipped with all necessary infrastructure, ready for further expansion or development according to current zoning regulations.
This property is not beachfront and requires significant renovation of the existing mansion. The distance to Alicante Airport is 999 km as the crow flies, representing a considerable journey. Although amenities are within walking distance, a car is advisable for many journeys, particularly for accessing more distant beaches and golf courses.
This property is suitable for developers looking to undertake a large-scale project, such as building townhouses, detached villas, a rural hotel, or an event venue. It is also attractive to investors seeking land with growth potential in an area undergoing urban expansion. Individuals looking for a very spacious estate with an existing, characterful home that can be renovated may also find their home here. The proximity to amenities and the possibility to integrate the existing mansion into a new plan make it versatile.
The existing mansion, built in 1930, requires renovation but features historical elements such as 7 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 'viewing rooms', a kitchen, bathroom, patio, storage space, and a small chapel. The buildable urban plots (Plot 1, 2, 4) offer the possibility to construct homes with a 100% occupation rate for townhouses and 40% for detached houses, spread over two floors plus a basement and attic. The rustic plots (Plot 3, 5) are also connected to essential infrastructure like water, electricity, and sewage, enabling the construction of further facilities.
This Finca - Cortijo property is offered starting from €850,000. The price reflects the size of the 12,441 m² plot and the potential for large-scale development, including the existing 431 m² mansion with 7 bedrooms. The property is divided into several plots (five in total), varying in zoning (urban and rustic) and buildable area. This extensive land offering and development potential position the price as an investment for developers and project builders.
