Woodland Plot near Algaida

Classification as protected rural land is not a restriction but a guarantee. While building continues across much of the island, this land and its immediate surroundings will stay as they are today: pine woodland, garriga and old dry-stone walls, with no risk of a new build breaking the landscape next door. The price reflects exactly that. No building coefficient, no development costs, none of the burdens that come with land carrying construction potential. Whoever buys here pays for the land and its setting, not for a right to build that does not exist anyway.

The plot is classified as Àrea d'Interès Natural, Zona Boscosa (AIN-FO_ZB), protected rural land under the Pla General PG 2023. In this land category, buildings connected to a farming operation require a minimum plot of 50,000 m² (Art. 6.2.4.2 POD). This plot has 23,000 m² and does not reach that threshold: no new building is currently possible, not even an agricultural one. Extensive and intensive farming is permitted, as is anything that does not require a new structure. Beekeeping, an olive grove, almond trees, extensive grazing or keeping horses outdoors are therefore legally sound options, many of them carrying the tax advantages of rural land. Before buying, a preliminary enquiry with the municipality is advisable to confirm the exact scope of permitted uses.

Access runs along a well-passable gravel track right up to the plot, with a private hunting ground adjoining it. There is no electricity connection, though a medium-voltage line runs nearby. Water is not connected either: the usual solutions here are a tank or cistern supplied by lorry, or looking into a private well, which requires a permit.
