Fontanares is a tranquil rural enclave tucked between Murcia and Almería, known for its pristine natural environment, fresh air, and clear night skies. A paradise for nature lovers, walkers, cyclists, and those seeking complete privacy, this area remains one of Andalucía’s best-kept secrets.

Vélez-Rubio & Vélez-Blanco (20 mins): Two of Almería's most charming whitewashed towns, full of local culture, weekly markets, schools, supermarkets, medical centers, and traditional tapas bars. Vélez-Blanco is also home to a historic Moorish castle and vibrant cultural calendar.

La Parroquia, Murcia (12 mins): A quaint, authentic village with a handful of shops, bars, and friendly neighbors. A peaceful place where life moves at a slower pace.
Lorca (30 mins): A vibrant city with a rich history, stunning architecture, modern shopping centers, international restaurants, hospitals, and fast train connections to Murcia and Madrid.

You're also within reach of beaches and airport connections:
Aguilas & Mazarrón coast – ~1 hour
Murcia International Airport – ~75 mins
Almería Airport – ~90 mins

Outdoor Potential
The villa is surrounded by nature and birdsong. The garden area, while needing some TLC, offers huge potential to create a Mediterranean oasis with shaded pergolas, vibrant planting, and tranquil corners for yoga or reading.
The 8x4 swimming pool is currently in disrepair but can be fully restored — we’re happy to recommend reputable local contractors. Once completed, this space will provide the ultimate place to unwind during long summer days.
A brick-built BBQ and pergola structure provide the bones for al fresco entertaining.

Why This Property Stands Out
Move-in ready interior with high-quality finishes
Huge scope to personalise the outdoor space to your taste
Complete peace, privacy, and natural beauty
Easy access to key towns, services, and the coast

Perfect for permanent living, holiday retreat.

This is a rare chance to secure a well-built, spacious villa in a truly special rural setting — without sacrificing access to towns, cities, and beaches. Whether you're relocating, retiring, or investing in a peaceful escape, Fontanares is a place where you can breathe, reconnect with nature.
