About this property
Cartagena's old town rises terracotta and ochre from the Mediterranean, and a fifteen-minute drive inland sits a new-build villa designed for those who want the city's energy nearby but not its density at their doorstep. Modern, cleanly proportioned, finished with the restraint that marks contemporary Spanish construction at its best. The villa spreads across 137 m² of built space — three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open kitchen-living area that anchors the home. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass opens the living zone onto a private garden, where there's room for a terrace, a pool, and those Mediterranean plantings that thrive in Murcia's dry heat. Inside, the specification runs to large-format porcelain flooring, contemporary cabinetry in soft neutrals, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and full pre-installation for ducted air-conditioning and home automation. The thermal envelope is built to Spanish energy standards, keeping the interior cool through the long, hot summers. Cartagena itself is unlike anywhere else on the coast. The Roman theatre, the Byzantine walls, the harbour — it's a real working city with museums, galleries, and restaurants that serve locals first. The beaches of Playa Cala, Playa Percheles, and Playa del Puerco are within a ten-minute drive, pale sand backed by modest development. The salt lagoons and natural parks of the interior are equally close. Alicante Airport is around an hour north; Corvera, serving Murcia, sits forty-five minutes inland. This villa suits a buyer seeking substance over spectacle — a home in a town that has narrative, within a new residential development that prioritises space and simplicity. At €535,000, it positions well between the tighter apartments in the old town and the sprawling villas further down the coast. Build-ready stock with this configuration and finish is increasingly difficult to secure across Murcia's growth zones. Handover timing falls within the standard 12–18 month build window for this phase.
