5 hectares of land planted with almonds, Albondon, Spain

For sale direct from the owner!

Two parcels of rustic land located a short distance away from the village of Albondon, Granada.

The co-ordinates for the location of the land on Google Earth are 36.5053 N, 3.1122 W

Part of the land has been terraced by the current owner and various roadways have been created to make access easier.

The owner has recently planted 250 almond trees on the terraces that were created and you can plant further almonds, figs, olives or even grapes without needing extra water. These are grown all around without any problem.

The largest platform consists of around 600M2 upon which you can construct a single storey house (to maintain the style of houses in the area).

The new LISTA land law which covers the whole of Andalucia allows the construction of a property of 1% of the land area and in this case, it would need to be a single storey home but options for a larger home could be achieved by going underground for utility spaces, garaging etc.

If the project includes a tourism aspect, the project could include swimming pool and possibly independent guest accommodation. Naturally, any tourism project will need to involve the Junta de Andalucia to see exactly what can be built.

There is an existing terrace with a stable (measuring 4m x 5m) and this has a water deposit connected to it.

The two plots comprise 45.751M2 of which 38.249M2 is classified as having almonds and the second plot of 6.573M2 also having almonds on it.

This land would make an ideal opportunity for someone who wants a peaceful holiday home or to create the off-grid home of your dreams.

The location is surrounded by beauty with amazing views and great potential for a self-sufficient lifestyle.

The current owner has a licence for the drilling of a bore hole however, there is also a mains supply at the house of a nearby neighbour which is 200M away from the main platform and just 120M from the stable.

The best solution (and probably far cheaper) is to install a solar system for an electrical supply.  It is feasible to recuperate your investment with the installation of solar within 5 years and obviously leads to a cost saving for the long term.

Being just 4km from the A345 main road between La Rabita and Cadiar, this property provides a sanctuary from the stresses of modern life but it is not too isolated from local village life.

Albondon, Granada 

Albondon is located just inland from the Costa Tropical in the Granada province of Andalucia.

It has a rich history going back to the Moorish times and is well known for the locally produced wine.

The village benefits from a public swimming pool, sports centre, medical centre, banks, various shops and a variety of bars that will also serve you food.  The land is approximately 10 minutes away from Albondón and about 15 minutes from Cadiar where among others you find a Carrefour supermarket.

The land is about 30 minutes away from the beaches of the Costa Tropical (La Rabita and Pozuelo) where you can enjoy the beaches, with the option to hire boats for fishing trips.  Located on the Costa Tropical in the province of Granada, this typical whitewashed village is a thriving agricultural area and enjoys a privileged location.

The Costa Tropical takes its name from the sub-tropical climate that it enjoys. With warm winters and long hot summers, the average temperature is around 20C.
