Villa for sale in Fortuna, Murcia

We are delighted to present this beautiful, stylish house located near the Las Kalendas residential development in Fortuna!

This house features a lovely 54 m² porch with stunning views, three spacious and bright bedrooms, two full bathrooms (one with a bath and the other with a shower), a kitchen, and a spacious living-dining room with a fireplace.

Outside, there is an outdoor kitchen next to the lovely 10 x 5 m swimming pool, as well as a bathroom; this means you don’t have to go back into the house when spending time by the pool.

Below the terrace with the swimming pool is a large garden and a garage beneath the terrace.

As the owner has not lived in the house for some time due to health reasons, the garden could do with a bit of TLC to restore it to its former glory.

In the Las Kalendas residential area, a 5-minute walk from the villa, you will find several restaurants (Spanish, Indian, Italian, etc.) and a vet.

Set in the north-east Murcia, the atmosphere of this beautiful town offers you an insight into the history of the area with the street and plazas full of atmosphere and history.

Fortuna is probably most famous for its healing water of the historic spa, El Balneario de Fortuna-Leana. It was originally built in 1896, but has recently been thoroughly renovated, keeping its original charm. Its pools and baths take advantage of 52°C thermal waters bubbling from beneath the ground. These waters were prized by the ancient Romans and Iberians, and their unique composition became famous for helping with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and respiratory diseases like asthma and bronchitis. You don’t have to be ill to appreciate the wonderful relaxing waters; just enjoy the calming properties of the thermal baths or a message.

Between Fortuna and El Balneario Romano, within an outcrop of the Sierra del Bano, is the intriguing site of La Cueva Negra, which is linked to El Balneario Romano. As the name suggests, the walls of the cave are black and there are numerous inscriptions known as tituli picti. The most significant inscriptions date from the 1st century AD and detail a cult of nymphs and other divinities, like Bacchus, Esculapio and Cibeles. Archaeological work started here in the early 1980s, and it is believed that it was a place of worship for both Romans in the 1st century AD and for Iberians during the Bronze Age.

There are two large national parks around Fortuna, offering a wide variety of wildlife and 50 km of hiking trails. Bird life is especially prolific, and there are several areas within the parks officially protected to care for certain species. During your walks through the carrasco pines and large oaks, you may see wild boar, foxes, eagles, hawks, owls and also the very rare Iberian lynx.
