recreation, livestock or hunting, these farms are coveted by the great fortunes, domestic and foreign. Among the most popular, are those that connect large, luxury homes for owners and guests and private hunting.
land are worth millions. In full housing crisis, where the soil has come down to very low levels (well below their mortgage), there hectares in Spain quoted the price of gold: the rural farms.
There are all type: agriculture, hunting (dedicated to hunting) or recreation. Rural farms have been historically a whim housing for the very wealthy. Businessmen, nobles and executives who combine a love of nature with all kinds of luxuries.
"There is no age or type of profession decisive. The characteristic feature is, of course, a group that has a certain level of purchasing power and a passion for the countryside and enjoy nature in all its dimensions and privately, "said Antonio Ibanez, director of Farms of Gilmar real estate. "Therefore, there is both English and foreigners who opt for this type of product," he adds.
As with luxury housing, the crisis has come to this real estate segment, but to a lesser extent. "The sector is bad, because, although it is a good investment over the medium term, usually not a staple," says José Antonio Pacheco, head of Agrofinca.com.
"The farm market has been influenced by the situation that has occurred in recent years in the same manner as other real estate products, readjust prices according to current circumstances and characteristics unique to each farm according to their type and use. Today the market is beginning to show signs of recovery and return to notice an interest in the properties best placed and best facilities, "said Ibanez.
Prices
"The farms rely heavily on their location, vegetation, terrain and facilities, but, for example, an area in Extremadura, a meadow of oaks, can range between 5,000 and 7,000 euros per hectare. In the case of irrigated land, an acre could be worth between 15,000 and 27,000 euros ", says the head of Agrofinca.com.
In general, the product most in demand are the largest farms. Such complexes are quite common in parts of Castilla-La Mancha, Andalusia and Extremadura. In communities of northern Spain, such estates are harder to find. In the nineties, in some provinces of Castilla y León and Cantabria, held what is known as land consolidation.
The goal was to unify and eliminate smallholding farms typical of the area, with small farms and even timeshare. All this to stop the fall of fertile land prices plunged. Two decades later, most of the supply of large estates still concentrated in central and southern Spain.
"Extremadura, Toledo and north of Andalusia are, in our view and for years, the geographic demand," said Pacheco. The proximity to big cities like Madrid and Seville, and his offer to play hunting for these areas. Among the most expensive properties that exist today the sale is a farm in Madrid with 18,380 meters square, with a value of more than seven million euros, and a complex of 500 hectares located in Badajoz and its selling price is 8 million euros.
Type
Within the available supply, there is a multitude of products, applications and prices. "It's not the plot of land which affects the price more, but the relationship of the extension next to the level of supplies for the animals and all the facilities at each farm or access," said Ibanez.
In the case of country houses, the main house and the surrounding (for guests and employees of the land) are buildings that look more buyers. Among the offer on the market, there are many swimming pool, indoor and outdoor, boxes for horses, tennis courts and even palaces with 1,500 square meters.
On the other hand, there are farms whose main attraction is the end and hunting use. In this type of product, studying things like "what kind of preserve it, many lumber camps can be given year, the number of animals there and the number of buildings that are therein, the water you have, if the farm produces food for animals or feed should be supported in their care, if it is fenced, if you have livestock breeding, etc. "says an expert.
In a farm or livestock, the location plays a key role.
"They are studying whether rainfed or irrigated, crop type, which includes ships and machinery, if it is fenced or not, if you have water, buildings for employees, etc.," adds this source. In Spain, there is plenty of farms, but, as experts, it is impossible to calculate an approximate figure, because many have emerged from several reunions and their owners are often characterized by extreme discretion.
As housing owners with high purchasing power, the number of farms allocated to the bench is very small compared with the other seized assets. "Has there been any case of farms whose owners were individuals or firms and farms were foreclosed, which could not cope with mortgage bonds and bank savings or creditor has been awarded the assets of the same like any other asset subject to safeguards mortgage, "says Gilmar responsible Farms.
