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 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.
