Urban Plot with Great Development Potential in Orihuela (Alicante) Strategic Location in the Vega Baja del Segura Just two kilometres from the centre of Orihuela, in the hamlet of Raiguero de Bonanza, lies a property that combines setting, size and development potential rarely found on the market. Located at the foot of the Sierra de Orihuela, in an elevated, non-floodable area, it offers panoramic views over the Vega del Segura and surrounding mountains. Its position next to the urban core and excellent access make it an ideal opportunity for new residential construction or mixed-use development. Urban Characteristics and Building Potential Total surface area: 12,441 m2. Land distribution: 4,500 m2 urban land (as per the General Plan). 8,000 m2 rural land with the same services as urban land: paved streets, sewage system and public lighting. Details of urban land (4,500 m2): 1,100 m2 reserved for future roads, to be connected to the existing street network of the hamlet. 3,400 m2 buildable (classified as urban residential land by both the zoning certificate and the General Plan). Building Parameters for the 3,400 m2 Buildable Area Plot coverage: up to 100% for terraced houses; 40% for detached villas. Minimum plot size: 80 m2 (terraced) / 200 m2 (detached). Minimum façade width: 5 m (terraced) / 11 m (detached). Maximum height: 2 storeys + basement + attic. Setback: 3 m from the boundary between urban and rural land. Available services: sewage system, potable water, electricity, public lighting, paved access and telephone lines. Example of Possible Development Layout One possible configuration for the 3,400 m2 buildable area allows for 30 plots, each with an average dimension of 6 m frontage x 18 m depth. For plots bordering the rural area, a 3 m setback applies, leaving 6 x 15 m of buildable depth. This makes it feasible to build 30 terraced villas, each with approximately 90 m2 per floor (ground + first), plus a 90 m2 basement and an attic on the rooftop. Roads and Access In one half of the urban land, the planned roads already connect to the existing street network, allowing the construction of around 14 houses without requiring any urban development unit procedures. In the other half, the roads form a “T” shape; simply extending one or more ends would provide access and exit, without splitting plots and with a simple and feasible connection. Expansion Area (8,000 m2 Rural Land with Urban Services) The 8,000 m2 rural section borders the urban core and already has urban-level services (streets, sewage, lighting). It is included in the proposed expansion of urban land in the new Orihuela General Urban Development Plan (PGOU), allowing for a future reclassification and a potential second phase of the project. Built Area with Traditional House Within the property stands a traditional house built in 1930, with 431 m2 constructed on 369 m2 of land, featuring spacious rooms, viewpoints and characteristic architectural details of the region. Although it requires renovation, it can be preserved as a historic element of the complex or adapted as a social club, sales office or small museum space within the future development. Consolidated Surroundings and Access Raiguero de Bonanza offers supermarkets, schools, church, pharmacy, medical centre, banks and public transport. The property lies 20 km from Murcia, 30 km from the Costa Blanca beaches (Torrevieja, Guardamar, Orihuela Costa) and 60 km from Alicante International Airport. It is also just 20 minutes from Villamartín Golf Club, one of the most renowned courses in southern Alicante. Urban Planning Framework (General Reference) According to the PGMOU/90: Urban land, residential use (with compatible tertiary and public uses), building typologies of terraced, detached or closed block, 2 storeys (8 m) maximum height, 100% coverage (terraced) or 40% (detached), 3 m setback between urban–rural boundary, and minimum façades of 5 m (terraced) and 11 m (detached).
