Plot For Sale in Riogordo

Set in a beautiful rural location just a short distance from Riogordo, this generous 25,767 m² plot is surrounded by centuries-old holm oak trees, olive groves and breathtaking panoramic views across the Andalusian countryside.
The land offers a wonderful combination of natural beauty, peace and space. A large, relatively flat area provides an attractive setting for those dreaming of designing and building their own home, entirely tailored to their personal wishes and lifestyle, surrounded by nature.
With a surface area exceeding 25,000 m², the plot meets the minimum land size requirement applicable in certain circumstances under Andalusia's LISTA planning regulations for the construction of a detached home on rural land. However, the actual possibility of building remains subject to compliance with all other planning requirements and obtaining the necessary permits and approvals.
Although the plot is located just beyond the municipal boundary of Riogordo, it officially belongs to the municipality of Alfarnatejo, whose Town Hall is responsible for assessing and approving any building permit application.

Building your own home offers the opportunity to create a property that perfectly reflects your personal preferences and way of life. From the layout and dimensions of each room to the choice of materials, finishes and modern energy-efficient systems, every detail can be designed according to your wishes.
Starting from scratch also allows you to incorporate modern insulation, contemporary comfort and energy-efficient solutions from the very beginning, creating a high-quality home designed to meet both present and future needs.

In addition to purchasing the land, it is important to consider the various expenses involved in a new-build project.

As a general guideline, the following costs can be expected when building a home in Andalusia:

• Construction costs: Depending on the size of the property, architectural design, materials and level of finishes.
• Architect's fees: Approximately 10% to 12% of the project's theoretical construction budget, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
• Technical architect (Aparejador): Approximately 30% of the architect's fees.
• Building licence fees: Indicatively around 1% of the project's theoretical construction budget.
• Construction tax (ICIO): Indicatively around 3% of the project's theoretical construction budget.
• VAT (IVA): Generally 10% or 21%, depending on the type of construction work or professional service and the applicable tax conditions.
• Construction period: Approximately 12 to 18 months, depending on the size and complexity of the project.

These figures are general estimates and may vary depending on the municipality and the specific characteristics of the project. Additional expenses, such as technical studies, utility connections and site preparation, should also be taken into account.
One of the greatest advantages of building your own home is the freedom to make every decision from the initial design stage. This allows you to invest in the spaces, materials and features that matter most to you, without having to compromise on the layout, condition or specifications of an existing property.
