A House is made of Bricks and Beams, A home is made of Hopes and Dreams – Unknown – Comaskey Properties

O to have a little house, to own the hearth and stool and all, the heaped up sods upon the fire, the pile of turf against the wall   –  Padraic Colum – An Old Woman of the Roads.

Much is celebrated in literature about the joys of owning your own home, the bringing of life to a thing of bricks and mortar and stamping your own personality on it.  This has not changed since Padraic Colum wrote his poem circa 1890.  We all dream of creating an oasis of calm and beauty out of an empty shell where we can happily spend our time. When we think of moving abroad and living in a new idyllic country we picture our new beautiful home full of colours and designs that we put there ourselves, of beautiful sundrenched beaches, the essence  of ‘living the dream’!! Never has there been such a great opportunity to do just that here in Orihuela Costa, Alicante, in Southern Spain.

With the recession fading away in our memories and plenty of new builds happening, cranes rising skyward and the sounds of workmen from dawn to dusk, it is a superb time to grab a bargain and set your dreams in motion.

Comaskey Properties have a large selection of New Builds to suit every pocket and taste, from a 2 bedroom Apartment in Polaris Saurines in the wonderful Mar Menor priced at a steal of €59,900 to a top of the range luxury four bedroomed villa in Campoamor priced at €960,000.

The area of Orihuela Costa is one of the most desirable in Spain offering more than 300 days of sunshine annually and a healthy relaxed life style with hundreds of beautiful beaches, delightful walks, modern shopping and a vast variety of golf courses on the doorstep.

We have new builds in La Zenia, Campoamor, Punta Prima, Lo Pagan, Torrevieja, San Miquel de Salinas, Torre de la Horadada and also on most of the golf courses such as Saurines, La Finca, Villamartin, Vistabella, Las Colinas and Campoamor. We have choices of apartments 2 and 3 bedroomed, Town houses, Bungalows and Villas.

Many of our golf properties are front line and offer superb views across the rolling fairways and greens.  These properties will also be a very good investment prospect as the area’s golf tourism is increasing year on year with many different nationalities coming here throughout the year to get away from the cold and rain in their own country.

For many the winter months at home only offer closure of their own golf courses as flooding and snows take their toll.  The pleasure of golfing in the wonderful climate of the Orihuela Costa is hard to resist and there are more and more Scandinavians, Russians, Germans, British , Irish and other nationalities spending the winter months here in Spain. They are always on the lookout for prime rental properties and should you have a desire to let your property there will be no shortage of clients waiting.

These new properties are far more desirable and will rent faster than the older properties; they will give you a good income for your investment. For families we have many properties which are close to the beach, a 2 bedroom apartment in the wonderful area of Lo Pagan with its therapeutic bathing waters and sandy beach for the cost of €116,960, Mil Palmeras , just beyond Cabo Roig also offers wonderful sea views, beaches and a variety of restaurants, we have a modern 2 bed apartment for  €129,900 which is ready to move in to.  This area of Spain has also found that tourism has increased vastly over the past few years, due in part to the wonderful amenities and climate the area enjoys, the ease of getting here with the many flights that go through Alicante and Murcia airports throughout the year, to the unpopularity of other traditional sun spots due to the fear of terrorism.

Whereas previously the tourist season was mainly May to September, it has now grown and apartments and holiday villas have found the season to be busy from March to October for the sun seekers, and from November to May for the golfers – an all year round market.  The new builds are built in a very modern design making the most of the natural sunlight and finished to a very high specification.  With a choice of excellent international schools in the area, fantastic sporting amenities and an elevated lifestyle, Orihuela Costa is luring many families to settle here permanently, and indeed you would find it very difficult to meet anyone who moved here to express any regrets. When we see how the climate in Ireland and the UK has changed over the past few years, with regular flooding and constant grey skies, it is very understandable to see why people would choose to make their home in sunny Spain.

In the wonderful picturesque village of Lo Pagan, home of the beautiful therapeutic mud’s and waters where many come to bathe for its amazing healing properties, we have a choice of 2 bedroom apartments close to the beach priced at €116,950, a 2 bedroom bungalow at €123,000, a 3 bedroom townhouse in a superb location at €155,000 to Villas starting from €169,000.  The ever popular area of Campoamor with its famous golf course offers a great many choices of new properties, some ready to go and some already under construction.  From a 2 bedroom modern apartment competitively priced at €97,000 to 4 bedroom Villas at €570,000 and €960,000.  The finish on these apartments is upmarket and highest quality and offers the discerning buyer value for money.

La Zenia area is very central, with plenty of bars, restaurants and home to the large Shopping Centre Zenia Boulevard with more than 140 high street retail outlets, restaurants and household and media shops.  In La Zenia we have some fabulous new builds available – 2 bedroom bungalows in the Sabrina Development priced to sell at €133,900 and 3 bedroom villas at the same location for €249,900 – Due to their fantastic location these will not be on the market for long, already there are only a few properties remaining. We also have 3 bedroom villas at La Zenia in the Zenia Paradise development from €560,000.

It is now rare to get a new build in this area, or indeed a resale as it is one of the most popular areas in Orihuela Costa due to its great location adjacent to blue flag beaches, bars, restaurants, golf courses and ease of access to two airports.

Punta Prima located just 5 km from the city of Torrevieja is another area that is very popular and has seen a huge increase in new developments in recent months, taking full advantage of the amazing views across the Mediterranean sea and on the city of Torrevieja.  The new builds here are fabulous and will match your dreams!  Ranging from: 2 bedroom modern apartments starting from €134,000 to 3 bedroom apartments with sea views from €165,000, to modern Quads 3 bedrooms at €180,000 to 3 bedroom villas modern and close to the beach from €210,000.

There is a home here for everyone; you just need to have a look!  La Fuente in the heart of golf country surrounded by Villamartin, Las Ramblas, Campoamor and Las Colinas golf courses offers excellent properties at very reasonable prices.  2 bedroom apartments just across from the lively commercial centre start from €116,000 and a short drive away are the new constructions of Lomas de Cabo Roig with a choice of apartments, townhouses and villas ranging in price from €118,000 to €276,000.

At Lomas de Cabo Roig there is a small commercial centre with a couple of bars, restaurants, supermarkets, hairdresser and beautician.  It is a short drive or a nice walk to Campoamor beaches or the livelier spot of Cabo Roig.  It is a very nice quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of busier places but close enough to get to when you need a bit of night life!  So what are you waiting for?  The time is now, get on the phone and call us to view the properties or the plans and set your dreams in motion!!
