Jardines Del Guzman - Southern Spain for less than 55,000 euros

Before you rule out Southern Spain as being too expensive for a second home, turn your attention to the sunny southerly province of Huelva on the western Costa de la Luz where a one bedroom apartment in Jardines del Guzman comes in at just 54,505 euros.

Set in the charming white village of Puebla de Guzman, Jardines del Guzman is a boutique development of just 40 apartments and townhouses arranged around a typical Andalusian-style ‘plaza’ or square. Set to seduce househunters hankering after ‘real Spain’, the development offers the best of rural life without compromising on accessibility to wedding-white beaches and modern international airports.

This part of Huelva, which borders the Portuguese Algarve, earned its place on the map in the 1870s when English miners exploited the rich copper deposits. Today Puebla de Guzman thrives on the locally-produced olives and oranges and, as copper prices strengthen, the mines which had been long-abandoned are now stirring into life once more.

Jardines del Guzman itself comprises one and two bedroom apartments plus three bedroom townhouses and all properties enjoy underground parking and storage whilst the townhouses have suntrap roof terraces. Rustic stoneware covers the floors excepting kitchens and bathrooms which have premium quality tiling. Telephone lines, television and solar energy are all pre-installed for convenience.

The local area is a utopia for rural tourism. Inland Huelva was made for horse riding, sailing, hill-walking and mountain biking with valleys, lakes and mountains, in particular the local look-out spot of Cerro del Aguila (hill of Aguila) which dominates the village. The Faro-Seville highway is within easy reach delivering you to Faro International Airport in 90 minutes and the beaches of Costa de la Luz in just 30 minutes.

If Spanish rural life sounds appealing, or perhaps you want to seize advantage of rural tourism business opportunities or simply enjoy the certain capital appreciation prospects, Jardines del Guzman is a value-for-money opportunity not to be missed.

Prices from 54,505 euros for a one bedroom apartment, 81,370 euros for two bedrooms and 131,718 euros for a three bedroom townhouse. A deposit of 3,000 euros will reserve your unit followed by 20% upon private purchase contract (just 7,901 euros) and 80% on completion scheduled for November 2009. Non-resident mortgages of up to 80% are available in Spain subject to status.
