About this place
Nestled in the picturesque Genal Valley, this 16-hectare plot in Benarrabá presents a rare opportunity to develop a riverside retreat. The plot includes an old country house of approximately 70 m², which spans two floors and boasts partially preserved walls, although it requires complete renovation due to a partial loss of the roof and mezzanine.
The terrain of the plot is flat at the river's edge, transitioning to a medium-high slope towards the top. The lower section features remnants of old orange trees, while the upper area is adorned with oak trees and areas of scrubland. Located in a fairly untouched region of Benarrabá, this property offers tranquillity, with no immediate neighbours and easy access via a 2 km track from a main road. Please note that there is no water or electricity on site, and the plot is currently not fenced.

Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
