Discover these new build properties, located in the vibrant area of Santiago de la Ribera, Murcia. This development, featuring 12 villas, offers a modern living experience near the Mar Menor. The homes are characterized by contemporary design and functional layouts, with options for private swimming pools, terraces, and solariums. Situated in an urban setting, essential amenities such as shops, pharmacies, and restaurants are within walking distance, contributing to a comfortable daily life.
Compared to developments on the more established Costa del Sol, such as GOLDEN GREEN VILLAS in Los Alcazares starting from €539,900, this project in Santiago de la Ribera offers a more accessible entry price from €369,900. Its location on the Mar Menor, Costa Cálida, distinguishes itself with a more relaxed atmosphere and a focus on water recreation rather than the larger beaches and marinas characteristic of the Costa del Sol. While Costa del Sol projects often offer larger plots and more exclusive amenities, this development focuses on functional villas with private outdoor space and proximity to daily necessities within walking distance. The average temperatures and sunshine hours are comparable to many parts of the Costa del Sol, but the Mar Menor provides a unique ecosystem and recreational opportunities, such as water sports in a protected lagoon. Alicante Airport, at approximately 58 km (as the crow flies), serves as a reasonable alternative to the longer distances to Malaga (350 km) from the Costa del Sol.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located in Santiago de la Ribera, this development offers direct access to the Mar Menor coastline. The urban environment ensures that amenities like shops and pharmacies are within walking distance. This positions the homes in an area where daily needs can be easily met without reliance on motorized transport.
These properties are designed for comfort and functionality, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms. The focus is on a modern lifestyle, with private terraces, solariums, and optional swimming pools. Fully equipped kitchens and pre-installation for air conditioning contribute to a pleasant living environment, suitable for both permanent residence and holiday rentals.
The project is a new construction development comprising 12 villas, currently under construction. This guarantees modern building techniques and finishes compliant with current standards. The expected completion offers the opportunity to be the first to enjoy a brand-new home with the latest amenities, including optional sustainable energy solutions like photovoltaic panels.
This development does not offer direct beach access from every unit, despite its proximity to the coastline. The homes do not include a fully integrated home automation system, although fiber optic connection is available. Furthermore, there is no guarantee of a specific view from every terrace, as this depends on the individual villa's placement.
This project is suitable for buyers who prefer an environment where urban amenities coexist with proximity to the sea. It is an excellent choice for families looking for a new home with modern facilities and ample space, thanks to the 3 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms. Investors may also find potential, given its location on the Mar Menor and the region's recent development. The homes are ideal for those desiring a comfortable life with access to shops and restaurants within walking distance, combined with recreational opportunities such as beach strolls and water sports. Individuals who value a sunny climate with abundant sunshine and a long swimming season will feel at home here. The fact that the homes are still under construction offers buyers the possibility to influence certain finishing choices and benefit from the latest construction standards.
The villas will be completed with a focus on elegant and functional interiors. The kitchens are fully equipped with all necessary electrical appliances, offering immediate cooking convenience. The homes feature pre-installation for air conditioning (both heating and cooling), ensuring an optimal indoor climate throughout the year. Many homes include fitted wardrobes, providing practical storage space. Double glazing contributes to thermal and acoustic insulation. The terraces and solariums, including a summer kitchen in some units, offer additional outdoor living space. The inclusion of private swimming pools in most villas enhances the living comfort.
Prices for these new build villas range from €369,900 to €399,900. This pricing is indicative for 3-bedroom homes with 3 bathrooms and a built area between 113 m² and 122 m². The plot size is approximately 126 m². The price variation is determined by the specific features of each villa, such as the presence of a private swimming pool, the size of the solarium, and whether a summer kitchen is included. Two specific properties are equipped with photovoltaic panels for energy saving, which may influence the price.
