Beyond the Lagoon: Discover a Living Investment in the Hills of Murcia

Just forty minutes inland from Santa Rosalia Resort, the landscape begins to change.
The roads grow quieter. Almond trees give way to wild pine and gentle hills. The sun hangs low and golden across the valley. And then, you see it — rows upon rows of olive trees stretching into the distance, their silvery leaves shimmering in the breeze.
This is Hacienda de Peñas Blancas.
A working organic olive estate.
A self-sufficient world.
And, increasingly — a smart and soulful investment.
🍃 A Place That Works While You Rest
Tucked away in the hills near Puerto Lumbreras, this 165-hectare estate offers something that’s becoming rare in modern Europe: certified productive land with full water rights, export infrastructure, and a home you can live in tomorrow.
At its heart are 57 hectares of Arbequina olive trees — organically farmed, irrigated via 3 private wells, and yielding up to 450,000 kilos of olives per year. Everything here is real, operational, and certified by CAERM both for production and for olive oil sales. This is not a concept. This is harvest, history, and hard value.
Aerial views. Olive harvest. Sunrise over the forest. Fireplaces lit inside the cortijo.
A Historic Mansion with Timeless Charm
The estate’s two-storey traditional farmhouse, built in the mid-20th century, has been lovingly preserved with its original stone walls, terracotta roof tiles, and hand-crafted wooden beams. Inside, you’ll find cozy fireplaces, original flooring, and a warm, authentic atmosphere that feels both rustic and refined.
From the terrace, the view opens to 99 hectares of reforested Mediterranean forest, planted with native pine, carob and holm oak. This isn’t just scenic land — it’s part of a long-term environmental stewardship project that stabilizes the soil, protects biodiversity, and enriches the value of the property as a whole.
💧 Water. Land. Autonomy.
One of the estate’s greatest assets — and one of its rarest — is complete water autonomy.
3 licensed private wells.
3 large reservoirs.
50,000 cubic meters of on-site storage.
No reliance on municipal systems.
Add to that 3,400+ hours of sunshine per year, warm dry summers, and no frost risk — and you have one of the most reliable olive-growing microclimates in Europe.
💼 For Investors Who Think Long-Term
What makes this different from a luxury villa or a speculative project?
This land works. It produces. And it grows in value.
Organic olive oil is a premium export commodity with a growing global market
Agricultural land in Spain with full water rights is increasingly scarce
Certified farms like this benefit from EU subsidies and low maintenance
Turnkey sale: includes machinery, storage buildings, transformer, warehouse
Legal use approved for residential, agricultural, livestock — with possibility for boutique hospitality
All of this — the land, the house, the production — is offered for €4.1M, fully inclusive.
✨ Who Is This For?
A family looking for a home with income
An eco-minded investor building a private label olive oil brand
A buyer seeking residency and rural beauty with stability
Or simply someone who wants to own land that matters
