April 6, 2018

San Pablo de Buceite Plot with Property

Ideal conversion to residential home. Originally, these 2 properties bordering each other were a family home and an events hall. The events building was used for celebrations – First Holy Communions, Weddings, Baptisms and later, as a discotheque. It is a large space, well positioned, with outdoor parking and huge courtyard. The properties are in good condition, built around 2001 – 2002. The main residence consists of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is a separate kitchen away from the sitting room. The bordering property has a very large storage area and covered veranda which leads out onto a big patio behind which is the main events room and separate lavatories for male and female guests. It also has a professional kitchen fully tiled and large extractor fan. This complex would make a wonderful residential or care home, for example, situated as it is in a quiet village touching Los Alcornocales Natural Park.

Surface Area and Amount Constructed

2,105 m2 plot of land upon which buildings totalling 779 m2 built. This is a surface area of 682 m2. The properties are made up of residential properties, display area and storage. This leaves 1,423 m2 currently being used as an orchard. There is a slight incline to the land which offers wonderful views out over the Alcornocales.

Location: San Pablo de Buceite

The village has approximately 1,500 inhabitants. Technically, a sub district of Jimena de La Frontera, San Pablo has its own Mayor and administrative staff. There are supermarkets, (Carrion and Ruiz Galan’s), hairdressers’, restaurants, a health centre, chemist’s, primary school, Post Office, cultural centre, municipal swimming pool, police services, a bank, a church, etc. It is a fully-fledged white village, but small and safe. The main thorough fare where people stroll in the evenings runs through the heart of the village and is pedestrianised. It may appear at first blush to be a sleepy village, but San Pablo de Buceite is known for its Carnaval. Despite being small it’s a village that punches way above its weight. The people who live here are largely proactive and environmentally aware. For example, they have created beautiful decorations and an amazing Christmas Tree from old plastic which they have recycled to stunning effect.

At only 600,000 € this is an excellent investment. These urban properties can be reformed and modernised with Change of Use planning permission into a profitable project.
