Living in authentic Spain, close to Calasparra
The villa is located north of Calasparra, in a rural valley with a long agricultural history. The immediate surroundings feature olive groves, fruit trees, hills and open views. From mid-February, the landscape is transformed by a sea of white and pink blossom, with apricot, almond, nectarine, fig and olive trees.
The property is situated on a cul-de-sac with a few international and Spanish neighbours. This offers a peaceful, private lifestyle without being completely isolated. The surrounding area includes extensive Natura 2000 sites, ideal for walking. The region is also home to several reservoirs and historic villages and towns such as Mula, Moratalla and Caravaca de la Cruz.
This villa for sale in Calasparra offers exactly what many people are looking for in Spain: peace, nature, privacy and an authentic setting, with amenities close at hand.
The village of Calasparra
Calasparra is a peaceful village with a population of more than 10,000 and all everyday amenities. You will find modern supermarkets, shops, restaurants, terraces, doctors, dentists, a veterinarian, pharmacies and an emergency first-aid station with an ambulance. The regional hospital is in Caravaca de la Cruz, approximately 27 kilometres away.
The village is known worldwide for Arroz de Calasparra, the first rice in the world to receive its own designation of origin. It is grown in terraced fields irrigated by the Segura and Mundo rivers. Calasparra is also known for its religious heritage, spectacular natural surroundings and active outdoor lifestyle.
Nearby attractions include the Santuario de la Virgen de la Esperanza, Cueva del Puerto, Cañón de Almadenes and the archaeological remains of Villa Vieja. This is an excellent base for walking, cycling, rafting, culture and nature.
Excellent transport links
Although the villa enjoys a peaceful inland location, it is very easy to reach. Alicante Airport is just under an hour’s drive away. The city of Murcia is approximately 45 minutes away, while the coast at Mazarrón is about an hour’s drive. There are good motorway and regional road connections to Murcia, the coast and the rest of Spain.
From the Netherlands, you can travel almost entirely on motorways to within approximately 23 kilometres of Calasparra. From there, a regional road takes you to about 500 metres from the property. This also makes the villa suitable for people travelling to Spain by car or campervan.
Large 5,080 m² plot with a mature garden
The plot measures approximately 5,080 m² and has an electric entrance gate with a pedestrian gate. The long driveway leads to the property and continues to the open-sided barn behind the house. The garden has been redesigned and features an irrigation system, sensor-activated outdoor lighting, mature trees, ornamental plants and several areas in which to relax.
The garden includes 22 mature olive trees, cacti, flowering plants, a large mulberry tree, two fig trees, a lemon tree, a mandarin tree, an orange tree and a persimmon tree. The irrigation system can be controlled via an app. The water comes from a nearby reservoir, and the available supply is very generous.
At the front of the property is a large fountain with lighting and a timer. From the terrace, you can enjoy views over the garden and the green, hilly landscape.
Swimming pool, jacuzzi and outdoor living
In front of the property is a large tiled terrace with a 10 x 4 metre swimming pool. The pool is approximately 70 to 175 cm deep. During the warmer months, the water temperature rises to around 32 degrees, and heating is available for cooler periods. The filtration system, pool-cleaning robot and other equipment are included.
Next to the pool is a practical outbuilding with a washing machine, toilet and changing room, so you do not have to go inside while still wet after swimming. The terrace also features a jacuzzi, a BBQ hut and a 3 x 3 metre gazebo with a lounge set. Pergolas have been installed around the pool, with plants including wisteria and bougainvillea.
This outdoor space makes the property particularly well suited to anyone who enjoys outdoor living, entertaining guests or sharing the Spanish lifestyle with family and friends.
Campervan pitches, open-sided barn and extra amenities
Three spacious campervan pitches have been created at the back of the garden, with 10-amp connections. They are ideal for friends or family visiting in a campervan. There is an additional bathroom with a toilet and shower next to the pitches, as well as a washing-up area with hot water.
The open-sided barn, measuring approximately 63 m², provides space for a campervan, an extra car and a workshop. There is also a wooden shed for storage and a separate shelter housing the irrigation-water system, filters and pressure gauges.
For anyone who values practical living, needs space for vehicles or projects, or enjoys hosting guests, this villa for sale in Calasparra offers far more possibilities than a standard property.
The property
