The bungalow presented in Santiago de la Ribera, priced at €284,500, is positioned as a renovation project within an urban coastal setting. Compared to GOLDEN GREEN VILLAS in Los Alcazares, which starts from €539,900, this property offers a significantly lower entry price, explained by the need for modernization and a smaller plot size. Los Alcazares, as a neighboring municipality, is often associated with new developments commanding higher prices. Santiago de la Ribera, conversely, offers with this bungalow the opportunity to adapt an existing property to personal preferences, close to amenities and the Mar Menor. The property provides 4 bedrooms across 240 m² of living space, which is relatively spacious for its price bracket, although the 50 m² plot is more limited than typically found with new-build villas. The focus here is more on the potential of the existing structure and its immediate location relative to the coast and local facilities, unlike the larger plots and modern amenities often featured in new developments in the region.
