This exceptional detached villa in San Pablo de Buceite, Cádiz province, offers a distinctive opportunity for a riverside rural lifestyle. With a generous living area of 500 m² on a 2600 m² plot, the accommodation comprises two separate dwellings, one fully renovated and the other ready for transformation. The property benefits from a private river beach, extensive grounds, and a tranquil rural setting, yet remains within easy reach of essential amenities. The asking price is €595,000.
Compared to projects like Altara Alcaidesa (from €341,000), Atria (from €423,000), and Adel San Roque (from €536,000) in the more developed Sotogrande area, the San Pablo de Buceite villa positions itself as a project with a distinctive rural setting and a greater emphasis on renovation potential. While the starting prices of the mentioned Sotogrande projects are lower, they typically offer a more finished and coastal-proximate living environment. The villa in San Pablo de Buceite, priced at €595,000, offers a substantially larger living area and plot size, along with the rare feature of a private river beach. Its location, though more rural, provides an alternative for buyers looking to distance themselves from the busier coastal resorts and prefer peace and nature, with the potential to develop the second dwelling for additional income. Accessibility to amenities and the coastline is less immediate than in Sotogrande, which is a consideration for potential buyers.
