Ráfales, Teruel
I have been given a description of a rural property located in Ráfales, Teruel. The property features 18.4 hectares of land with 5.1 hectares of olive and almond cultivation and 13.2 hectares of forest. The property also has several ruins of buildings totaling approximately 175 m2 and an ideal opportunity for both a tourist investment or a space for a one-family isolated house to be constructed. The property has good road access and is located in a quiet area. As a potential buyer, these features may appeal to you in the following ways: 1. Rural setting: If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful lifestyle, this property's countryside location is an attractive feature. You'll be surrounded by nature, with the sound of birds and away from the noise of urban life. 2. Potential for development: The opportunity to build a new unit as a one-family dwelling would allow you flexibility in designing the perfect home for your needs. Additionally, potential expansion options for existing buildings could offer fantastic long-term potential for growth. 3. Income generation: The olive and almond cultivation provides a direct income source from your property. You could consider hiring a local farmer to manage the crops or invest in a small production line or juice press. The forest could also potentially generate income from products such as congras, encinas, and other tree species. 4. Investment potential: With the current worldwide trend toward eco-tourism and the appreciation of natural environments, this property could be an attractive option for a tourist-related investment. On the other hand, consider these factors: 1. Granted, the property's rural location offers a peaceful setting, but it also means that local commercial amenities are limited. You’ll need to travel outside the vicinity for essential shopping, dining, and access to medical facilities or schools. 2. The property may need some work to bring the derelict buildings up to their full potential. This would involve both time and financial investment. Also, consider that there may be restrictions and regulations to consider when renovating or constructing new buildings. 3. Depending on your needs, the existing building space (175 m2) might not be enough to build a comfortable, spacious home. 4. While there is the potential for an income generating investment in the form of tourism, it would require a significant marketing strategy and capital to attract visitors and run the business. 5. As good or bad, rural properties can be more subject to climate change compared to urban ones. Factors such as droughts, frosts, storms, fires. All these can affect the farming, the nature and potentially the infrastructure of the area. Overall, this property seems suited for someone looking for a rural lifestyle and a potential income generation, with the willingness to put in the work to develop and manage the land. The land's potential as an investment for tourism may appeal to those who want to build a unique holiday destination or agritourism venture, but remember that such a project would require a substantial investment and ongoing dedication.
