Fincas4sale specialise in the sale of rural Spanish property, country villas, farm houses and land. We have a large, regularly updated database of properties and building land for sale close to the small town of Atzeneta, which is 30 minutes from the coast, and beaches of Benicassim and Castellon in the northern Valencian region of Spain.

Although commonly translated as "farm", the word finca can have several meanings. It can mean a large country estate or a small rural property. Generally though it refers to a small country property, very much sought after by the foreign buyer.

There are several reasons why someone would wish to buy a finca, not least of all the peace and quiet away from the hustle of the coastline.

Probably the most important deciding factor is the price of the land compared with that of the coast. 20 years ago, fincas could be bought for very little but in recent years the interest in them has grown.

If there is already a building on the land, even a ruin, permission is automatically granted to renovate that building or for it's demolition and a new building to be erected. If there is no building when you purchase the land, usually a minimum of 10,000 m² is required for building on rustic land.

One thing is for sure, if you buy a finca, you will enjoy the Spanish countryside and will find it very different from the coast.
