Eleven hectares and 324 m² of military structures to restore

A total of 324 m² of built area stands across a 117,263 m² plot on this resale land with ruin in Manilva. Rather than a single domestic shell, the built footprint is divided across multiple structures that require complete renovation. Some of these buildings were officially used by the military and date back to the Second World War, giving a restoration project a very different starting point from an ordinary agricultural shed.

The parcel and the existing footprint

At just over 11.7 hectares of open rural land, the plot is large enough to function as an agricultural holding, a working farm, or a private country estate. Because there are multiple existing buildings sharing the 324 m² built total, a buyer will need to measure each ruin individually to see how the square metres are distributed across the site. In rural Andalusia, existing footprints on the property register are often the only basis for legal reconstruction, so the exact geometry and volume of each former military structure will dictate what can be restored.

Planning status and coastal rules

The listing data places this land with ruin in Manilva under the categories of planning permission and beachfront. When a rural parcel of this scale meets the coast and includes wartime military structures, several public authorities can have jurisdiction over the ground. A buyer's lawyer must check the exact wording of the municipal planning permission, verify where the maritime-terrestrial public domain boundary runs in relation to the ruins, and confirm whether any heritage or defence easements still apply to the Second World War buildings.

What to establish before making an offer

Because the property is sold as a distressed resale for renovation, due diligence has to happen before committing funds. There is no mention in the particulars of mains water, electricity connections, sanitation, or formal road access across the eleven hectares. Bringing utilities across a plot of 117,263 m² is a significant engineering calculation, so a buyer should establish the nearest connection points, verify the cadastral boundaries against the title deed, and inspect the ruins before offering on this land with ruin in Manilva.

How much land and built area are included in the sale?

The parcel measures 117,263 m², which is just over 11.7 hectares of open rural land. Across the plot, there is a combined built area of 324 m² divided among multiple existing buildings.

What is the history and current condition of the buildings on the plot?

The structures on this land with ruin in Manilva date back to the Second World War, and some were officially used by the military. All of the buildings are in a ruinous state and require complete restoration and refurbishment.

Does the property have planning permission for the restoration work?

The listing categorises the plot as having planning permission and notes that the existing buildings are free to be restored and refurbished. A buyer should still have a lawyer verify the current validity and specific conditions of that licence with the town hall.

What can the land and restored buildings be used for?

The agent notes point to use as a rural finca, a farm outside the town, a cultural site, or a concrete house restoration project. The permitted residential, agricultural, or cultural use will depend on the specific rural classification and the terms of the planning permission.

Are water, electricity, and road access already connected to the site?

The property data does not mention existing utility connections, water sources, or the state of the access tracks. Given the 117,263 m² plot size and the distressed status of the sale, buyers must check the availability of services on site during their inspection.
