Known as one of the best kept secrets in Spain, according to Spanish Homes magazine, Murcia will soon undergo vast changes to meet the growing numbers of tourists and the increasing numbers of expats looking to purchase property in this region. The area is one that has attracted the rich and relatively famous cliques with the ability to spend a few million euros on a property. And more and more people are investing in off-plan property in the region - the best deals to be had are in the inland region of Murcia.

In these country areas of Murcia, life is very different to that on the coast. Here, life is lived at a relaxed pace - at a pace where you can sit back, relax and enjoy Spanish life. The areas are far enough inland to not be affected by the mass developments that have taken place on the coastal areas. Construction has been relatively restrained and much emphasis is on the aesthetics, restricting buildings to low rise ones, no more than three storey high (though most are only two).

In the Jumilla region, out of 28 proposals for new developments, only 4 have been granted approval (by 3 developers). The Santa Ana del Monte Jumilla Golf Resort by Grupo San Jose has been granted permission to build a two 18 hole golf resort with a range of luxury leisure and sports amenities including a luxury 5 star hotel. Construction of the development is well under way with a range of high quality show homes, ranging from two bedroom apartments to luxury villas available for viewing.

The Pegasus Corporation has been granted permission to build an exclusive gated golf complex - Golf Resort El Castillo, featuring a 9 hole professionally designed course and a range of sports and leisure facilities, also including a luxury hotel and a top equestrian centre. Luxury show homes are now completed and furnished and ready for viewing. Also, permission has been granted for the developer to build a small development in the Pena Roja region but it will be some time before work starts here.

La Zarza Properties have a number of show homes available for viewing on their development Residencial La Tosquilla, situated at the foothills of the Sierra de la Pila nature reserve in the stunning La Tosquilla valley. Consisting of a range of 2 bedroom pre designed detached bungalows and a 3 bedroom detached house and with the opportunity to have an individual detached villa built to own specifications on a large plot of 6,000 sq mts or more, with a range of on site amenities including bowls, tennis, crown green bowling, fishing lakes, 24 hour reception and medical centre, the development is ideal for the over 55's and those wanting a relaxed and secure way of life.

With approximately 320 days of sunshine a year, and acres of untouched countryside, it's certain that prices will rise significantly in this area in the next few years.
