This penthouse is located in Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort in Sucina, a village of roughly 2,500 inhabitants in the Murcia region, 29 kilometres from the city of Murcia and 15 kilometres northwest of San Javier. The property is a completed two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment of 124 square metres, built in 2007, with terraces on both sides, lift access, an underground parking space and a storage room. The resort setting is inland from the Mar Menor coastline; beaches lie approximately 15 kilometres away, while three golf courses sit within seven kilometres. The listed price is 189,000 euros.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Sucina sits in Campo de Murcia at roughly 170 metres above sea level, between the regional capital Murcia (20 km) and Cartagena (32 km). The town itself has a supermarket 267 metres away, a pharmacy 21 metres away, and several restaurants, cafés and banks within two kilometres. A train station at Riquelme-Sucina lies 3.1 kilometres from the resort.
The property suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance base in a resort community: two bedrooms, one bathroom, dual terraces with pool and countryside views, and communal facilities including 19 swimming pools, padel courts and sports amenities on site. The single top-floor position reduces direct neighbours. Daily needs are met within walking distance in the village.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2007 and is available in finished, unfurnished condition, allowing buyers to install their own kitchen fittings, furniture and decoration. Infrastructure such as the lift, underground parking and storage is operational. No construction-phase uncertainty applies; the buyer purchases existing, settled stock.
The property offers one bathroom only, which constrains use for larger households or guests. It is sold unfurnished, so furnishing costs must be budgeted separately. The nearest beaches are 15 kilometres away, so this is not a walk-to-sea location. The nearest electric vehicle charging point is 9.1 kilometres distant. No private garden or pool belongs to the unit.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a holiday home in a warm, quiet setting with on-site pools and sport facilities would find the two-bedroom layout sufficient, and the dual terraces extend usable living space in a climate with 3,840 sunshine hours per year. Golf-oriented buyers benefit from Hacienda Riquelme's course at 2.3 kilometres and two further courses within seven kilometres, making a car-light golf routine realistic. Buyers prioritising budget per square metre, around 1,525 euros here against substantially higher coastal rates, may accept the 15-kilometre distance to beaches in exchange for resort amenities and village services within walking distance. Part-year residents who value a settled community rather than a seasonal resort will note that Sucina's roughly 2,500 permanent residents keep local services running year-round. The property suits less well: families needing a second bathroom or proximity to international schools, buyers requiring a walk-to-beach location, and those seeking contemporary new-build energy standards, the 2007 construction predates current efficiency requirements. Investors evaluating rental potential should verify licence and community rules, as resort communities vary in their short-term rental permissions. Buyers dependent on frequent flying should note Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 55 kilometres away, around a 45-50 minute drive.
The apartment dates from 2007, placing it within the Mediterranean construction norms of that period: typically a reinforced concrete frame, hollow-brick partition walls, rendered and painted facades, and aluminium or PVC-framed double glazing. The interior images show a modern-style bathroom with a walk-in shower and vanity unit, and bedrooms with direct access to views over fields and the resort grounds. The property is delivered unfurnished, which means kitchen appliances, wardrobes, lighting and window treatments generally fall to the buyer; this also allows verification and upgrading of these elements. The apartment occupies the sole top-floor position, with lift access from the underground garage level, where a private parking space and separate storage room are included. Terraces on both sides provide cross-oriented outdoor space: one facing the pool landscape, the other open countryside. As a completed 2007 build, the property will not carry a current energy certificate rating by default; buyers should request the existing certificate or commission an assessment, since pre-2007 Spanish stock often rates between E and G unless insulation and glazing have been improved. Structural condition, community maintenance of the 19 pools and common areas, and the state of the roof and terrace waterproofing are the principal technical inspection points for a penthouse of this age. The community's upkeep record is directly relevant, as resort-scale communal infrastructure carries ongoing costs reflected in community fees.
The listed price is 189,000 euros for a 124-square-metre penthouse, equating to roughly 1,525 euros per square metre. Within the regional context this positions the property below coastal new-build pricing: for comparison, Golden Green Villas in Los Alcázares starts at 539,900 euros. The price reflects the inland golf-resort location, the 2007 construction date and the single-bathroom layout. Buyers should account for additional costs beyond the purchase price: furnishing (the unit is sold unfurnished), transfer tax or VAT depending on the transaction type, notary and registry fees, and annual community fees typical for a resort of this scale with 19 pools and communal grounds.
Daily life here is organised around the resort and the village. Mornings can begin on the front terrace with views over open countryside, given the village sits at about 170 metres elevation on gently rolling terrain. The main terrace faces one of the resort's 19 communal pools and the landscaped grounds, so the swimming pool functions as an immediate extension of the living space during the roughly four-month season when water temperatures exceed 20 degrees. Within the resort there are walking and cycling paths, padel courts and a supermarket, which reduces dependency on the car for basics. Sucina village itself lies a short walk or drive away: the pharmacy is 21 metres from the resort edge, the supermarket 267 metres, and a handful of restaurants, cafés and banks cluster within a two-kilometre radius. The Pabellón de Deportes Sucina sports hall is 300 metres away. The rhythm of the area is quiet year-round rather than seasonal: with around 2,500 residents, the village does not empty outside summer, and the nearest tourist intensity is concentrated on the Mar Menor coast, 15 kilometres east. Climate data supports outdoor living for most of the year, with an average annual temperature of 18.3 degrees and approximately 3,840 hours of sunshine annually. For errands beyond the village, hospitals (10 km), larger retail in Murcia or Cartagena, a car is practical, although the Riquelme-Sucina train station at 3.1 kilometres and two local bus lines provide alternatives for some journeys.
Sucina functions as a working village rather than a resort town. Within a two-kilometre radius there are five restaurants, four cafés, one pharmacy, two banks and a dentist, a service level that supports daily life without leaving the village. The supermarket at 267 metres covers routine shopping. The nearest hospital is 10 kilometres away, in the direction of San Javier or Balsicas, and the pharmacy 21 metres away handles minor needs. Transport infrastructure is modest but present: the Riquelme-Sucina railway station (3.1 km) and Balsicas-Mar Menor station (8.0 km) connect towards Murcia and the coast, and two bus lines serve six stops in the area. A car remains practical for hospital visits, beach trips and airport runs, but is not required for every journey. The environment is inland and quiet: elevation of roughly 170 metres, agricultural surroundings, and none of the coastal summer traffic. The Mar Menor beaches at El Castillico, Colón and El Pescador lie 15 kilometres away, reachable in about 20 minutes by car.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Sucina occupies an inland position in the triangle between Murcia city (20 km), Cartagena (32 km) and the Mar Menor coast (15 km). This places the village closer to the regional capital than most coastal resorts, while remaining within a 20-minute drive of the lagoon beaches. Compared with Los Alcázares on the shore itself, Sucina trades sea proximity for lower price levels, quieter surroundings and a golf-resort setting. Elche (47 km) and Alicante (55 km to the airport) mark the northern reach of practical travel. Within Murcia's property market, Sucina is positioned in the affordable inland-resort segment.
Distances from the property, in straight-line terms: beaches of the Mar Menor (Playa El Castillico, Playa de Colón, Playa de El Pescador) at 15 kilometres; the city of Murcia (463,000 inhabitants) at 20 kilometres; Cartagena (219,000 inhabitants) at 32 kilometres; Elche at 47 kilometres; the nearest hospital at 10 kilometres. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 55 kilometres away, the principal gateway for international travel; Región de Murcia Airport near Corvera, though not listed, also serves the area. Golf access is a defining feature: Hacienda Riquelme at 2.3 kilometres, La Tercia Golf Resort at 6.5 kilometres and United Golf Resort at 6.6 kilometres. The nearest EV charging point is 9.1 kilometres away, relevant for electric-vehicle owners. Train connections run from Riquelme-Sucina (3.1 km) and Balsicas-Mar Menor (8.0 km).

Sucina records an average annual temperature of 18.3 degrees, with monthly averages ranging from 11 degrees in winter to 26 degrees in summer, and approximately 3,840 hours of sunshine per year, a figure comparable with the driest zones of southeastern Spain. The swimming season, defined by sea water at 20 degrees or above, lasts about four months; communal pools in the resort typically extend usable swimming beyond that window. The terrain sits at 170-174 metres above sea level on the gentle slopes of Campo de Murcia, so the setting is elevated relative to the Mar Menor shoreline but without steep gradients; walking and cycling within the resort are uncomplicated. Rainfall in this semi-arid corner of Murcia is low, concentrated in autumn, which favours outdoor use of the terraces for most of the year. The inland position means slightly greater temperature range than directly on the coast: warmer summer afternoons, cooler winter nights.

The nearest beaches, Playa El Castillico, Playa de Colón and Playa de El Pescador, lie 15 kilometres away on the Mar Menor, a shallow, calm lagoon suited to swimming and families; the Mediterranean open-sea beaches of La Manga and the Costa Cálida are further east. Buyers should verify current Blue Flag status of individual beaches, as designations are reviewed annually. Recreation closer to home is golf-centred: Hacienda Riquelme's 18-hole course sits 2.3 kilometres away, with La Tercia and United Golf Resort within seven kilometres, giving three options in a short radius. Within the resort itself there are 19 communal pools, padel courts and sports facilities, plus walking and cycling paths through the landscaped grounds. The municipal sports hall, Pabellón de Deportes Sucina, is 300 metres away for indoor sport. The surrounding Campo de Murcia offers rural walking and cycling on agricultural tracks.

Within the wider Murcia and Costa Cálida market, Sucina represents the inland golf-resort segment: established communities built in the 2000s around courses such as Hacienda Riquelme, La Tercia and United Golf Resort, priced well below both coastal new-build and shorefront resale stock. The comparable listed project, Golden Green Villas in Los Alcázares, starts at 539,900 euros, roughly three times this penthouse's asking price, reflecting Los Alcázares' direct position on the Mar Menor shore with beach walking distance. The trade-off is structural: coastal proximity commands a clear premium, while Sucina offers more internal floor area per euro (about 1,525 €/m² here), resort amenities including 19 communal pools, and a quieter year-round environment anchored by a permanent village population of around 2,500. Geographically, Sucina sits closer to Murcia city (20 km) than the coastal towns do, and its station connection at Riquelme-Sucina (3.1 km) links towards the regional rail network, unusual for resort communities in this segment. Against other inland resort locations such as Balsicas or Torre Pacheco, Sucina is distinguished by having the village services (pharmacy, supermarket, banks, cafés) within a few hundred metres of the resort entrance, reducing total dependence on the car. For buyers weighing the Costa Cálida against the Costa del Sol or Costa Blanca, the region's differentiators are price level, sunshine hours comparable with the driest zones of Spain, and the calm waters of the Mar Menor 15 kilometres away, offset by greater distance from Málaga's airport infrastructure (343 km) and a shorter verified swimming season of roughly four months.
