This substantial detached property in Vera, Almería, combines three separate dwellings within a single 18,085 m² plot, each with its own private swimming pool. The main residence totals 912 m² of living space across seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, with construction dating from 1970 and part of the upper floor currently undergoing renovation. The property has operated as a registered Casa Rural for holiday rentals. The location is inland but urban, with a supermarket 87 metres away and a pharmacy 328 metres away on foot. The nearest beaches are approximately 6.2 km away as the crow flies, and Desert Springs Golf Club lies 3.4 km from the site.
Within the Vera and wider Costa Almería market, this property occupies an unusual position. Most resale stock near the coast consists of apartments or townhouses in urbanisations, typically 80–140 m² with communal pools; this offering combines 912 m² of built space with a plot of over 1.8 hectares and three private pools, which is a rare configuration in the immediate area. At a fixed asking price of €749,900, the price per built square metre (roughly €822) sits well below the average for comparable built areas on the Costa del Sol, reflecting both the inland location and the age and condition of the building. Against new-build villas in the Vera Playa and Desert Springs corridors, typically smaller, modern and priced per unit at levels that would require several units to match this floor area, the trade-off is clear: buyers exchange contemporary construction and developer warranties for volume, land and established rental infrastructure. As a Casa Rural, the property has an operating history that new-build competitors lack, though its 1970 construction places maintenance and renovation duties entirely with the owner. Location-wise, inland Vera is quieter and more Spanish in character than the coastal strips of Mojácar or the Costa del Sol, with walkable amenities but a longer journey to the airport than most buyers of coastal property anticipate. For buyers comparing across the Costa del Sol, the appeal is land and flexibility at a lower entry price; for those wanting modern efficiency, security of a new build, or proximity to an international airport, coastal new-builds will remain the more straightforward choice.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in an urban environment on the inland side of Vera, with daily amenities within walking distance: a supermarket at 87 metres and a pharmacy at 328 metres. The nearest beaches, Playa El Playazo and Cala Marqués, are both 6.2 km away as the crow flies. Desert Springs Golf Club is 3.4 km distant. The airport is far away, so arrival journeys require a lengthy final leg by car.
The layout suits multi-generational households or buyers seeking independent accommodation for guests. Three separate dwellings, each with a private pool, allow simultaneous occupancy without shared outdoor space. Around fifteen upstairs rooms, two with plumbing prepared for bathrooms, offer scope for additional bedrooms or reception areas depending on requirements.
This is an existing home completed in 1970, offered key-ready. Part of the upper floor is currently undergoing renovation, which means completion of that work falls to a new owner. Delivery is immediate upon purchase, subject to the usual Spanish conveyancing process. All dates and completion stages are indicative.
The property does not offer sea views, coastal frontage or a gated resort setting. It is a rural-style building from 1970, so construction standards differ from modern new-build regulations. The airport lies at considerable distance. The upper-floor renovation is unfinished, and the property is sold in its current condition without developer guarantees.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A multi-generational family wanting to live close together while retaining independence can occupy the three dwellings separately, each with private outdoor space. Buyers running, or planning to run, rural holiday accommodation benefit from an established Casa Rural set-up with a track record and the capacity to expand into the unfinished upstairs rooms. A household combining permanent residence with rental income can occupy one dwelling and let the others. The property also suits buyers who want land: 18,085 m² provides room that coastal apartments cannot offer. It fits less well for buyers seeking a lock-up-and-leave holiday home with community-managed pools and gardens, since all maintenance here is private responsibility. Buyers wanting a modern, energy-efficient new build will find a 1970 construction with period features and an incomplete renovation instead. The location, inland but within an urban setting, suits those who want walkable amenities combined with rural surroundings, and who accept a drive to the beach and a long transfer from the airport.
The property dates from 1970 and retains a number of traditional features, most notably an original ceiling in the second dwelling and an archway between the lounge-dining area and kitchen. The photographs show a mix of conditions: bedrooms with wooden accents, a living room with armchair seating and window views, twin-bedded rooms with floral curtains, and a bathroom with a checkerboard floor and a modern shower installation. Air conditioning is installed in the first dwelling. Each dwelling has its own private terrace and pool, and parking is private. The technical picture is that of a period building with incremental modernisation: some wet rooms and showers have been updated, while the upper floor remains a building site with approximately fifteen rooms under renovation, two of them prepared with plumbing for bathrooms. Buyers should treat the finishing level as variable across the three dwellings and commission a full structural and technical survey, particularly for the roof, electrics and pool installations of a building of this age. No warranty scheme applies, as with a private resale. The overall standard is functional traditional construction with character elements, not a developer-delivered finish.
The asking price is fixed at €749,900 for the entire property: plot, three dwellings and renovation works in progress. This is not a from-price; it applies to the property as offered. At 912 m² of registered living area, the price equates to roughly €822 per square metre, before accounting for the plot and the additional unrenovated upstairs rooms. Availability is immediate, subject to the vendor's terms. Buyers should budget separately for completing the upper-floor renovation, ongoing maintenance of three pools, and standard purchase costs in Spain (transfer tax, notary and registry fees).
Daily life here revolves around a working rural property rather than a holiday apartment. The plot of 18,085 m² provides space, privacy and separation between the three dwellings, each with its own walled or enclosed outdoor area and pool. Two dwellings are arranged on the ground floor; the third occupies both ground and first floors. The first dwelling has a main bedroom with en-suite shower room, a family wet room, a further bedroom, a reception room and an internal room for alternative use. The second retains traditional character, with an entrance lounge and dining room leading through an archway to the kitchen, two bedrooms, and an original ceiling; outside there is a private walled garden and pool. The third is the most spacious, with an entrance hallway, a separate bedroom and wet room. Upstairs, approximately fifteen rooms are in the course of renovation, two planned as bathrooms with plumbing already in place. For a resident, this means the property functions as three self-contained homes under one ownership: family members or rental guests can live independently, while the unfinished upper floor acts as a reserve of space that can be configured later. Day-to-day shopping is a short walk away, which reduces dependence on the car for basics, though a vehicle remains practical for the beach, golf and hospital trips. The rhythm of the property is determined by its scale: maintenance of three pools, extensive grounds and an older building requires ongoing attention and budget.
The immediate surroundings are urban with amenities on foot: the supermarket at 87 metres and the pharmacy at 328 metres make daily errands possible without a car. An electric-vehicle charging point is 913 metres away, relevant for buyers running one or more cars. The nearest hospital is 18 km away, which is a consideration for older residents or those with regular medical needs. Beaches at Playa El Playazo and Cala Marqués are 6.2 km away as the crow flies, actual driving distance is longer, and Playa de Las Marinas-Bolaga lies 7.4 km distant. For leisure, Desert Springs Golf Club is 3.4 km away, with Cortijo Grande at 14 km and Aguilón Golf at 18 km. A car is described as convenient but not essential for everything, which matches the walkable core of daily needs combined with the dispersed location of beach, hospital and golf. The area is inland rather than resort-based, so the seasonal population swings of the coastal strip are less pronounced.
The map shows the property within the urban fabric of Vera, with the supermarket and pharmacy essentially next door and the beaches of Vera Playa a short drive east. Golf courses fan out to the north and east. The Mediterranean lifestyle of the Costa Almería sits within easy reach, while the plot itself offers rural privacy.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Vera is positioned in the east of Almería province, on the coastal plain behind the beaches of Vera Playa and the golf developments of the interior such as Desert Springs. Relative to the better-known Costa del Sol, this is a quieter, less densely developed market with lower price levels and a more Spanish year-round character. The property's inland-but-urban position places it between rural Almería and the coast, roughly equidistant from daily amenities on foot and beach leisure by car. Surrounding towns such as Mojácar and Garrucha (not quantified in the data) shape the wider retail and services offer of the area.
Straight-line distances from the property: supermarket 87 m, pharmacy 328 m, EV charging 913 m, Desert Springs Golf Club 3.4 km, beaches 6.2 km (Playa El Playazo and Cala Marqués), Playa de Las Marinas-Bolaga 7.4 km, Cortijo Grande golf 14 km, hospital 18 km, Aguilón Golf 18 km. All distances are as the crow flies; road routes are longer. The airport is 999 km away in the dataset, which indicates the property is not served by a nearby international airport and transfer times are substantial. Parking is private on the plot. Public transport information is not available in the data, so a car should be assumed for regional travel.
Vera lies in the province of Almería, inland of the Costa Almería coastline, at a modest elevation typical of the coastal plain of southeastern Spain. The regional climate is among the driest in Europe, with high sunshine hours, a draw for buyers seeking reliable summer weather, and hot summers softened near the coast by sea breezes. The swim season at the nearby beaches generally runs from late spring into autumn. Specific climate figures for this site are not available in the data, so buyers should verify local conditions. The 18,085 m² plot offers open rural surroundings, with the countryside visible from terraces and pool areas, as shown in the photographs. Slope and terrain details are not recorded; a site visit will clarify orientation and sun exposure of each dwelling's outdoor space.

Three beaches sit within roughly 7.4 km as the crow flies: Playa El Playazo (6.2 km), Cala Marqués (6.2 km) and Playa de Las Marinas-Bolaga (7.4 km). The data does not record Blue Flag status for these beaches, so no claim is made here. Golf is the closest recreation: Desert Springs Golf Club lies 3.4 km away, with Cortijo Grande (14 km) and Aguilón Golf (18 km) as alternatives within a short drive. On-site recreation is centred on the property itself: three private swimming pools, terraces and walled gardens provide swimming and outdoor dining without leaving the plot. Sports facilities beyond golf are not recorded in the available data. The combination, large private grounds plus a short drive to beach and golf, defines the recreational profile of this location.
