Land for Sale - Reference RMS246

We are pleased to present this stunning parcel of land for sale for €45,000 set in the idyllic countryside near Henares, Spain. 

Do you dream of owning a little piece of paradise, this large scenic land – offering 49,324m2 of open countryside is ripe for off grid lifestyle. If you are looking for a quiet, private but not secluded place to set up camp this is for you. 

Although feeling very private, the land is within half an hour drive to the large historical town of Lorca, Murcia and also the beautiful town of Velez Rubio, Almeria-both offering all your amenities. 

It also has the original home building with a footprint of 233m2, originally a large farmhouse-now needing reforming. There is an additional outbuilding footprint that would have housed animals. 

The land has substantial Almond Groves, that are currently maintained by a local farmer.

The original farmhouse is set on the flat parcel, with views across the rolling hillside and faces due south. The current owner has owned the land for some years, had a dream to own his perfectly situated estate, to enjoy the surrounding nature. The family have enjoyed many days relaxing with picnics and adventuring around. 

There are many established plants and trees throughout the land, including pines and palm trees. 

There is a track leading from the main entrance, that needs some maintenance to offer a private driveway. 

Electric is installed close by, could be run to the land or there is plenty of room to install your own Solar System. 

The area of Henares is within the area of Nogalte- which sits close to the border of Murcia and Almeria. The area is known for hiking routes with easy access from the A92 and a short drive to Puerto Lumbreras. 

Focus on Los Velez 

We not only love the area of Los Velez, we also chose it to be our forever home. 

We originally moved to Spain slightly nearer to the coast, thinking we would be spending a lot of time at the beach. The reality is-we didn’t. We would go to a nice coffee shop and enjoy the views occasionally. 

When we saw a country home needing renovations a little bit further inland, we both instantly fell in love. Not only with the property, but the local area also sounded stunning. There is so much history here, also climate benefits-having less humidity in the summer- an important factor when looking to relocate to Southern Spain. 

Los Velez is located in the area of Almeria close to the border to Murcia, under an hour’s drive from the popular coastal towns of Mojacar and Aguilas. We are also blessed to be fairly close to the picturesque Lake Negratin with the natural Spas in Zujar. 

Let’s explore the towns from our personal point of view 

Velez Rubio 

Bring your Spanish dreams to life in the beautiful area of Los Vélez- including the towns of Vélez Rubio, Vélez Blanco & Chirivel. All the surrounding towns offer quite impressive scenery Velez Blanco- having its own Castle that sits proudly in the mountains overlooking the valleys. 

Have you seen the Indalo man on your travels in the region, this is a symbol of good luck and safekeeping. The original drawings can still be seen in the caves near Vélez Blanco/Vélez Rubio. The Indalo man is now recognized as the official symbol of Almeria- the is one important rule to follow- you cannot buy an Indalo man keepsake for yourself-they have to be gifted to you. The symbol itself is said to represent a human holding a rainbow overhead. Originally, the symbol was painted on the front of your property to protect them from evil. You can find many decorations now including the popular symbol. 

Vélez Rubio is ranked in the top 10 places to visit in Southern Spain to enjoy the local celebrations and fiestas. We highly recommend enjoying one of the restaurants in the Plaza De La Encarnacion in Vélez Rubio or embrace the spectacular views enjoying a morning coffee at the Hotel Velad Al Abyadh in Vélez Blanco. The town has a great market on Saturdays- offering locally grown fruit & veg, a good selection of clothing too. There are also over 50 restaurants and bars for your entertainment. The area offers vast outdoor activities all year round- hiking, biking & trekking. 

The beautiful Lake Negratin is not far away offering water sports and natural spas for your pure relaxation. Zujar offers natural spas too.
