Cortijos, Houses and Ruins - in need of Reforming

We have a wide selection of properties throughout the area in various states of repair.  All of these will need reforming to make them habitable. 

In some cases there may not be Water and/or Electricity in the property.  In these cases we will assist you to get this connected or solar power installed so do not rule out properties purely on this basis.

We will also help you with all aspects of gaining permission to reform as well as directing an architect or builder on your behalf.

Please do not be put off buying a ruin (or any other old property) at the thought of what a major task it might be to reform it.   We are there to hold your hand and help you instruct the appropriate people for all the work if necessary so you hardly need to get involved - other than stating your preferences for decorating schemes!  This can be one of the most cost effective ways to obtaining your dream home in Spain.

Please note that its becoming increasingly difficult to get permission to rebuild complete ruins and the authorities are tending to only give permission to reform houses that effectively have 4 walls and a roof.   However the rules are changing all the time so our architect will investigate each case individually before you commit to purchase.

You should also note that some of the lower reference numbered properties below will have been on our books for quite a while when prices were higher and as such if not already reduced are quite likely to be highly negotiable.  Even with the later properties its always worth making an offer!

Here is a selection from the properties currently available.

R01490 has 200m2 built and 1500m2 of land and R01491 has 150m2 built and also 1500m2 of land.  Both houses have water deposits and electricity is available to connect.  This the ideal opportunity to get two houses together in a lovely rural setting yet just a few minutes drive from all amenities.   Alternatively it would make a single large house for either a large family or B&B business.	60.000 Euros
	01494	Village House for Reforming or Rebuilding.  Located in village with basic amenities for day to day living but just 10 mins from Huercal Overa for all other services including the big Monday morning market.  A decent sized property at 140m2 and with a reasonable sized plot for a village house at 800m2.  Water and electricity are available to connect	60.000 Euros
	01485	House to Reform in village just outside Huercal Overa.  There are 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom currently and there is 1000m2 of land so ideal for those looking for a bit of space around them but walking distance to the local shop.  Mains water and electricity are close by and available to connect.	80.000 70.000 Euros
	01493	Village House for Reforming.  Located in village with basic amenities for day to day living but just 10 mins from Huercal Overa for all other services including the big Monday morning market.  A decent sized property at 150m2 but with a good sized plot for a village house at 1500m2.  Water and electricity are available to connect	72.000 Euros
	01247	Cortijo to reform of 150 sqm in a fabulous setting in the mountains north of Huercal Overa.  It has electricity ready to connect and a water deposit.  It may be possible to connect mains water as it is fairly near by.   Access to the property is good and it comes with 30,000 sqm of land with some great views.  This property has loads of potential and at its new reduced price is a real bargain. It is back on the market at a much reduced price as the previous sale fell through.	108.000 75.000 Euros
	01261	Detached House of around 300 sqm needing reforming.  Located in the mountains just north of Huercal Overa is has 500 sqm for a garden but little else around so you do not feel hemmed in.  Water and electricity can be connected and the views are great as can be seen from the panoramic photos.	75.000 Euros
	01240	Old Cortijo of around 150 sqm situated on 3000 sqm of land with beautiful views in the mountains north of Huercal Overa.  The area is very quiet but the access to the property is good.  The house currently has no water or electricity but this can easily be overcome by installing a water depost and generator/solar power..	78.000 Euros
	01515	Large Cortijo to reform in the hills to the north of Huercal Overa.  This cortijo has a huge 7 hectares of land but its worth noting that the house is attached to another property.  There are some great views down and across the valley and acess is good with a tarmac road.  Mains electricity and water are in the area but will need to be connected.	80.000 Euros
	01496b	Cortijo to Reform - part of of a small unfinished development that comprises two semi-detached villas, two additional building plots and this cortijo for reforming.  Each element is available separately or as the complete package at a remarkably low price. See Refs: 01496a & 01496c for remainder of development. This cortijo has 150m2 built area and electricity and water is available to connect. Quotations can be obtained from local builders to complete the work if required.  This cortijo has a central village location but on a good sized plot - 630m2.  The village has a couple of supermarkets and bars plus a medical centre although the main town of Huercal Overa is only 10 mins down the road for all your other services plus leisure and sports facilities. Complete development of 2 Villas, 2 Building Plots and Cortijo is just 235.000 euros	90.000 Euros
	01425	Ruin to reform complete with Project and Building Licence for a 122 square metre house with 3 bedrooms.  It is located just to the north of Huercal Overa on 10,000m2 of land with some good views as can be seen from the photos.  This property is being sold either as a ruin with Project and Licence or as a completely finished house.  Unfortunately there are no mains services here so water will be by a water deposit (better quality water anyway) and electricity can be provided by solar power (no bills!) or a generator. Copies of the approved plans can be seen in our office.	102.000 Euros or 200.000 Completed
	01484	Partially Reformed Cortijo located in an enviable position just outside Huercal Overa with views over open countryside. This has the makings of a fantastic family home at a very reasonable price.  It currently has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms reformed upstairs but the two remaining bedrooms and living areas downstairs still need completing.  This is a spacious house with a very large build of 240m2.  As can be seen from the photos, there is still a fair bit of work to finish it off downstairs so if you don't think your DIY is quite up to this then why not just let us get you a quote to get the remaining work done by a local builder?  Outside is a store room which would also be ideal as a pool room should you decide to install a pool.  There is a reasonable sized garden with plenty of room for a pool should you want one.	110.000 Euros
	01408	Cortijo to Reform in the hills just to the north of Huercal Overa.  Set in 2,500m2 of land the ruin itself can be reformed to around 120m2.  Unfortunately there is no mains electricity here so this would be an ideal opportunity to 'Go Green' and install Solar power....which also has the advantage of no ongoing electricity bills!  Spain is at the forefront of solar energy and subsidies are available for this form of power helping to offset the initial cost. However when you consider the location and magnificent views afforded by this property the lack of mains electricity seem rather immaterial....this is the Real Spain!	115.000 Euros
	01492	Large Cortijo to Reform with 30.000m2 of land.  Electricity and Water are already connected and ready to go.  As can be seen from the photos this cortijo is set in some beautiful countryside with great views and access from the main road is good.   Its located just to the north of the main town of Huercal Overa where all amenities can be found however there is a nearby village for day to day essentials.	120.000 Euros
