Own an Entire Estate in Spain!

The Spanish property market has been in the headlines consistently throughout the latter half of 2007 and all the way into 2008. Media reports vacillate between highlighting negative issues such as the over-supply of apartments in some locations, which has had a detrimental effect on pricing, and focusing on the evergreen and unshakable positive factors which make Spain a consistently popular location with property buyers, retirees and expatriates.

Internationally speaking, Spain is the number two destination in the world for holidaymakers after France – but for Britons holidaying overseas, according to the Office for National Statistics, Spain is actually the most popular destination, with tourist arrivals from the UK continuing to rise annually.

Backing up these facts is the World Travel and Tourism Council which is optimistic about Spain's continuing dominance in the global personal and business tourism market, they are predicting positive annual growth in both sectors for at least the next ten years.

Despite some media reports which are choosing to focus on the decline in property prices in certain areas of Spain and a drop in the buoyancy of the Spanish housing market along the most popular Costas where oversupply has impacted the market, many reports are actually looking a little closer at facts and statistics relating to Spain's overall economy, the data from which actually support the nation's ongoing appeal.

According to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development for example, Spain's macro-economy is performing exceptionally well and has actually grown for 13 years in succession. Added to this is the fact that, historically speaking, when Spain's property market has suffered a downturn before, it has been a brief period which has acted as the forerunner to a period of exceptional expansion and has been a period of time when buyers have bought in and bagged bargains!

Spain appears to be a market which has undeniable fundamentals supporting its continued dominance as a location for lifestyle and investment property buyers, retirees and would-be expatriates. Right now it's said to be a buyer's market in Spain, with purchasers having the chance to secure some good real estate deals.

In Murcia for example, it is possible to affordably own an entire estate rather than just a home on a housing estate. This fact is likely appeal to all those who want to retire to Spain or set up a permanent home in the country.

"Our Casas de Lorca five-acre residential project near the town of Lorca in the Murcia province offers buyers the chance to own a stunning, custom-tailored villa with classic architectural features such as rows of arches and glass-walled courtyards," explains Mike Hamilton, a director of Casas de Lorca - the construction company behind the project.

"These properties are for sale from just £196,900 / €265,000 for a 4 bedroom villa and really do give buyers the chance to own their very own home on a rolling five-acre estate rather than a generic apartment on a housing estate in an urbanised part of a popular Costa."

All homes at Casas de Lorca are within a short drive of the vibrant and historic city of Lorca with its many bars, restaurants, shops, tourist attractions, castle, multiplex cinema, theatre, and sports complex. In turn, Lorca is just a twenty minute drive from the coast and the stunning beaches of the Murcia province of Spain.

"Our properties are for sale to the serious buyer who wants to own a part of the Spanish countryside and become a part of the Spanish culture. We understand that the dream of owning a second home, a retirement property or a brand new home-from-home in Spain is combined with the dream of achieving an exceptionally high quality lifestyle and our homes are the embodiment of both these dreams," says Mr. Hamilton.

"We offer our customers space and quality at Casas de Lorca so that they can enjoy the freedom, tranquillity and peace that comes with living on five-acres of your own land overlooking amazing mountain scenery in this stunning region of Spain."

Buyers will be able to enjoy living in a unique property which is custom-finished to their personal specifications and designed to enjoy the views from inside the house, using walls of glass, glass-walled courtyards, towers, arches and other architectural features.

"Not only are these homes perfectly constructed and perfectly priced, they are perfectly located as well, thanks to a new, high-speed train link connecting Lorca with most of Europe. There are also three international airports within an hour's drive of Lorca and a new major international airport to be built within half an hour of the town," explains Mr. Hamilton.

"The homes at Casas de Lorca have been carefully planned so as to be ideal for those looking to purchase a high-yielding investment property or a home-from-home."
