It presents a significant opportunity with extensive land holdings, substantial water resources, and included agricultural machinery. The property is designed for those seeking a substantial rural lifestyle with diverse agricultural potential, complemented by existing residential structures. Its location offers a blend of rural seclusion with proximity to local amenities within the town of Yecla.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located inland within the municipality of Yecla, Murcia. It is positioned in an area described as having urban characteristics with amenities within walking distance, suggesting a degree of integration with the local town. Despite its rural nature, the estate is not entirely isolated from essential services.
This property caters to specific needs focused on agriculture, land management, and extensive rural living. It is suitable for individuals or entities with a strong interest in farming, animal husbandry, or property development, requiring significant land and water resources. The presence of two dwellings offers flexibility for owner-occupation or staff accommodation.
The construction status for the main residential components is listed as 'Gereed' (Ready). This indicates that the primary dwelling and the second house (albeit one requiring full restoration) are existing structures. There is no new construction phase detailed; the focus is on the existing estate and its potential for development or agricultural use.
This property does not offer immediate proximity to coastal beaches or major international airports, with the nearest airports noted at considerable distances. It is not a typical ready-to-move-into, low-maintenance villa; it requires significant engagement with its extensive agricultural and restoration aspects. It does not feature modern, integrated smart home systems as standard.
This property is suited for individuals or entities with a profound interest in agricultural enterprises, seeking a significant landholding with established water resources and operational machinery. It is appropriate for those planning to engage in large-scale farming of crops such as nuts, fruits, olives, or vegetables, or for livestock management. The inclusion of two residences makes it viable for owner-operators who wish to live on-site, or for families needing separate living quarters. Furthermore, the classification of significant portions of the land as 'buildable' suggests potential for future development, appealing to investors looking to expand or diversify the estate's utility beyond agriculture. It is not suitable for buyers seeking a compact, easily managed property or immediate proximity to major tourist hubs and beaches.
The main country house is described as fully equipped, implying a level of readiness for habitation. Features such as a swimming pool and multiple garages suggest a certain standard of construction and amenity. However, the second dwelling is explicitly stated as requiring complete restoration, indicating a significant difference in condition and finish. Details on specific materials, fixtures, or technological specifications for the main house are not provided, but the inclusion of features like fireplaces and potentially WiFi points to a functional, if not luxury, standard of finish. The overall quality would need detailed assessment, particularly for the property requiring restoration.
The estate is offered at a price point of €1,000,000. This price reflects the substantial land size (over 94 hectares), the existing infrastructure, water rights, included machinery, and two residential properties. The availability is for the entire estate as a single lot. Given the scale and specific nature of the property, it is positioned for a niche market of buyers interested in large-scale agriculture or rural development. The price should be considered as a starting point, with potential variations depending on final negotiations and any specific inclusions.
Yecla is a historic town nestled inland within the Murcia region, known for its wine production and traditional culture. The estate itself is a significant landholding, extending to over 94 hectares, encompassing various types of terrain including irrigated land, dryland, and mountainous areas designated as buildable. This diversity supports a wide range of agricultural activities, from cultivating olives and fruits to raising livestock. The property includes two distinct residential buildings: a main country house with five bedrooms, living spaces, a pool, and garages, and a second, smaller house requiring complete renovation. Crucially, the estate benefits from substantial water rights and infrastructure, including private wells and a reservoir, essential for agricultural operations in this climate. The inclusion of a comprehensive set of agricultural machinery further enhances its readiness for farming. The surrounding area offers a blend of natural landscapes and town amenities, positioning it as a self-sufficient rural hub with access to local services, shops, and the town's cultural offerings.
The estate is situated within the municipality of Yecla, Murcia. The town of Yecla provides essential amenities, including a hospital, schools, shops, and restaurants, with some facilities noted at a very short distance (e.g., supermarket 202m, pharmacy 183m). This suggests that daily necessities are accessible without extensive travel. The property's rural setting is complemented by its proximity to local services, offering a balance between country living and urban convenience. The surrounding landscape consists of mountains, vineyards, and almond groves, conducive to outdoor activities. The town's own vibrant culture, gastronomy, and local markets contribute to the daily life experience.
This map displays the location of Yecla within the Region of Murcia, highlighting its inland position relative to the Mediterranean coast. It shows the geographical context of the estate, situated within a region characterised by agricultural land, vineyards, and mountainous terrain, away from major coastal developments.
Yecla is located in the north-eastern part of the Region of Murcia, bordering the province of Alicante in the Valencian Community. This inland positioning places it at a distance from the main coastal cities like Alicante or Murcia. It is approximately an hour's drive from the coast. The town serves as a regional centre for its surrounding agricultural areas, known particularly for its wine production. Its location offers a more traditional Spanish rural experience compared to the bustling coastal resorts, yet provides reasonable access to larger urban centres and the coast for those who wish to venture out.
The estate's location in Yecla, Murcia, places it inland. While the town itself offers amenities like supermarkets (202m), pharmacies (183m), and a hospital (455m) within close proximity, travel to other key points requires consideration. The nearest beaches, such as Zona de Baño 'Las Escanales', are approximately 53 km away. Major international airports are at a significant distance, with Alicante Airport indicated at around 999 km. Golf enthusiasts will find courses like Font del Llop Golf Resort and Club de Golf Alenda approximately 47 km away. An EV charging station is located 753m from the property. While a car is recommended for general mobility, the close proximity of certain essential services may reduce the immediate need for constant vehicle use within the town itself.
Yecla experiences a semi-arid Mediterranean climate, characterised by hot summers and mild winters. The region receives ample sunshine throughout the year, contributing to a long growing season. Average temperatures in summer can reach highs of around 30-35°C, while winter temperatures are more moderate, typically ranging between 8-15°C. The altitude and inland location mean there can be greater temperature variation between day and night compared to coastal areas. The estate's extensive land includes mountainous terrain, offering varied microclimates. The region's climate is conducive to a wide range of agricultural activities, supported by significant water resources available to the property.

Compared to coastal developments like GOLDEN GREEN VILLAS in Los Alcazares, which starts from €539,900 and focuses on modern villa living closer to the sea and amenities, this Yecla estate represents a fundamentally different proposition. The Yecla property is priced at €1,000,000, reflecting its vast scale of over 94 hectares, substantial water resources, agricultural infrastructure, and machinery, alongside two dwellings. While Los Alcazares offers a typical Mediterranean lifestyle with proximity to beaches and tourist facilities, this inland Murcia estate caters to a niche market interested in large-scale agriculture, rural development, or a self-sufficient lifestyle. The buildable land on this estate offers a potential for expansion or diversification not typically found in coastal developments. The journey to the coast from Yecla is considerable, contrasting with the immediate access offered by properties in Los Alcazares. Therefore, the comparison highlights a divergence in target audience, property type, and lifestyle offering within the broader Murcia region.
