Brits snap up beachfront homes in ‘a privileged location’

Waterfront homes right on the 7 km long Great Sandy Beach - El Playazo - of the Almanzora coast at Playa Marques, five minutes from the fishing village of Villaricos in the Almeria region of south east Spain, are proving popular with UK buyers, reports The Almanzora Group of Cheltenham.

Already they have snapped up 11 of the 24 individual beach houses which form part of the first ‘frontline’ phase of a planned 200 homes to be built by the Spanish Almanzora Bay Group which describes the development as “a privileged location on the Mediterranean beach front.”

Each of the three-bedroom three-bathroom beach houses features an L-shaped open-plan living/dining area opening on two sides on to a raised deck-style veranda with a pergola and a built-in barbecue.

The design of the properties has a distinct maritime flavour, with wooden decks and circular porthole windows.

On the first floor, a private roof terrace, looking out to sea, is located outside the master bedroom. On the spacious solarium above, 360 degree views take in the beach, the sea and surrounding mountains. A full size basement provides a large extra space for a games room, wine cellar and storage.

Fully-fitted kitchens, white goods and bathrooms are standard, but come with choices of colourful ‘beach style’ joinery, cupboard fronts and tiles. Every home has warm and cool air-conditioning installed in the living room and all bedrooms.

Standard swimming pools and a provision for landscaping are included in the price.

The beach houses have floor areas of more than 190 sq m and terraces and balconies of more than 100 sq m on plots ranging in size from 500 sq m to 743 sq m.

Prices start at €590,000 rising to €1,200,000 for frontline ‘feet in the sand’ beachfront properties, of which only two remain available.
