 PROPERTY AT HACIENDA DEL ALAMO GOLF RESORT IN MURCIA, SPAIN
Description of Hacienda del Alamo Golf and Residential Property Resort
Hacienda del Alamo is a stylish golf resort and residential development in Murcia. On offer are a variety of different types of residential property available to buyers in a luxury resort setting.
At the heart of the development is an immaculately kept, spacious, 18-hole golf course designed by Dave Thomas. Residential zones, including villas on individual plots, townhouses and apartments, are cleverly integrated with the golf course.
The course has been beautifully laid out, and all the properties have been set well back from the greens and fairways, giving the whole development an open, spacious feel.
It also helps that it is a big resort – 550 hectares in total. In practical terms, this means lots of open spaces, green areas, and good views.
So far, there is one 18-hole golf course up and running, as are several phases of properties, including villas, townhouses and apartments.
The golf academy is in full swing, as is a small commercial centre at the entrance to the resort.

The area around Hacienda del Alamo, Murcia
Hacienda del Alamo is located just outside the town of Fuente Alamo, in Murcia’s south east corner.
The surroundings are rural, and in the distance you can see the wild countryside of the Sierras that are a typical feature of Murcia’s landscape. The rural setting - quiet and peaceful, far from traffic jams and crowds - gives the resort a laid-back character.
Though 20 kilometres inland from the coast, Hacienda del Alamo is at a relatively low altitude of around 500 feet. The winter here is relatively short and sunny, and the low altitude ensure mild winter temperatures, with an average year-round temperature of 21ºC. 320 days of sunshine a year, and short, mild winters are one of the reason why so many people are moving to the area.
The local town is Fuente Alamo, which is about 5 minutes away by car. It has everything you need such as supermarkets, fresh food markets, banks, pharmacies, doctors surgery, restaurants and shops.
For more serious shopping and culture there are the cities of Murcia and Cartagena, both of which are big enough to have major department stores, and everything else you would expect from a decent sized city, such as good hospitals. Murcia is half an hour away by car, and Cartagena, with it’s buzzing, redeveloped port area is just 25 minutes away.
If it is beaches you want, the closest are at Mazarron, about 25 minutes away, though you also have the option of the beaches of the Mar Menor, half an hour away. Murcia is home to some of Mediterranean Spain’s last remaining undeveloped beaches, between Murcia and Aquilas, so if you are prepared to drive a bit further you can go on day trips to empty, pristine beaches in the summer.
Access to Hacienda del Alamo
- A new motorway is being built that links the main Mediterranean motorway (A-7) at Alhama de Murcia with the Murcia – Cartagena motorway. This new motorway link will have an exit at Fuente Alamo, and will dramatically improve the access of Hacienda del Alamo.
- For international flights to the UK and Ireland, San Javier airport is 35 minutes by car, and Alicante airport is 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- A new international airport is under construction at Corvera. This will be just 10 minutes away by car. Corvera will be a privately-run airport, so expect it to be popular with low-cost airlines.
- A fast-train (AVE) link to Madrid is under construction. When finished, it will cut the journey time by train from Murcia City centre to the heart of Madrid to 2 hours.
Developer of Hacienda del Alamo
The Developer of Hacienda del Alamo is Procam – the real estate division of Caixa Catalunya - one of Spain’s largest savings bank. The developer used to be a company called Armilar-Procam, a joint venture between Procam and a Spanish developer called Armilar. When the Spanish property market slumped Procam took over the whole project.
Always use an independent lawyer when buying property in Spain. When buying off-plan or under construction, always insist on a bank guarantee to cover your stage payments. Make no payments without one.
