The mature gardens are lush with an assortment of fruit and citrus trees as well as fig trees and grand palms. There is also a wooded area with a mixture of eucalyptus and casuarinas.
The exciting prospect is that the property has been granted planning permission for construction for a further 3,607m2. This is a very special place and due to it’s location would make an excellent retreat, care home or rehabilition centre in an area which has none of these.
Or you could even develop your own private Urbanización! Surrounded by nature with staggering views to the sea and the Riff mountains of Morocco, the property is quiet and secluded. There are literally endless possibilities with this property either for someone wanting to have a stunning home or create a thriving business and all within close distance of the local amenities of Duquesa and Sabinillas.
