Camposol Villas: Amazing Value Homes in the Sun

Camposol, which translated means countryside in the sun, is a large rural development based around an 18 hole golf course. The development has over 5000 residential properties, a hotel and spa complex, many shops, bars and restaurants, as well as basic amenities such as a medical centre and banks. Camposol is perfect for both a second home and holiday property, or for full time residents. There's a wide range of homes available from low maintenance apartments to large villas with pools. There are approximately 3500 permanent residents, mostly British, but also a fair number of Spanish and Europeans have properties here too. Due to the high proportion of permanent residents a real community has developed, with a range of clubs, charities and social groups having been established.

Weather

This area of Spain has over 3200 hours of sunshine a year, with an average temperature throughout the year of 20 degrees Celsius, rising to 25 in the summer. The valley location of Camposol means that the mountains either side offer protection from any winds, meaning you're just left with a pleasant ocean breeze.

Property

Camposol villas are very good value and a good potential long-term investment as the Costa Calida coast is relatively undiscovered, especially when compared to the Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol.

Property ranges from small terraces with courtyards, to villas with swimming pools on large plots of land. They are all constructed with curved lines and clear forms, designed to create a harmonious and relaxing feel.

Camposol villas start at around 100,000 euros, which gets you a 2 bedroomed terraced villa with one bathroom and a roof solarium. At the other end of the spectrum is a four bed villa with pool which can be found in the region of 300,000 euros.

Camposol has a lot to offer in terms of lifestyle, with its superb year round weather, shopping, eating out and sports opportunities, not to mention great value property, all within easy reach of the beach and excellent transport links. Maybe your next home could be one of these Camposol villas?
