We adore Spain for its beautiful coasts, but overseas property buyers may be surprised to discover just how magical owning a home in the Spanish countryside can be. From Murcia to Tenerife, here are some of our most desirable rural homes.
As much as we associate Spain with sea and sand, when you search for property inland, your money can go further. You can find lovely old-fashioned fincas surrounded by magnificent mountains and greenery. These homes benefit from the peace and quiet. And, if you’re looking for a multi-bedroom home where all the family can come to stay to escape the noise of the modern world while enjoying countryside walks, pool time and barbeques, we’ve got some incredible options for you.
Please click on the image of each property to view more and enquire. However, our properties are in-demand, so if the home comes up with an error, I’m afraid that means someone has already taken it. You can head to our property portal to find similarly stunning rural properties.
