Front line golf 4 bedroom 4 bathroom detached 'Eagle' villa at the fabulous Roda Golf & Beach Resort, complete with the prospect of rental income using the rental management facilities of the De Vere hotel on site.

Roda Golf & Beach Resort has the absolute best of both worlds – a real ‘out and out’ Golf Resort AND a real ‘out and out’ Beach Resort, all rolled into one! An upmarket gated community of prestigious properties built around a challenging Dave Thomas designed 18 hole championship PGA golf course, the only golf course in South East Spain that has a PGA Contract as a PGA Academy so this is THE PGA golf course, yet it is built just 1½ kilometers from the beaches of the fabulous Mar Menor. But Roda also has an important ‘special extra’, it is a Golf Resort AND a Beach Resort. What makes it a true Beach Resort is that they have built their own self-contained Beach Club right at the very tip of the magnificent La Manga Strip on the golden sandy beach there. And they even have a shuttle bus running from the properties to the beach club, and back again. To add the final ‘icing on the cake’ within Roda Golf & Beach Resort is a 5 star luxury De Vere Hotel. Finally for those wishing to rent their properties De Vere manage all properties and take full responsibility for all rental properties at Roda. What an outstanding package!

General Description of the Area: A very up market and very secure Resort with 24 hour video surveillance, a secure fenced in boundary and with strict control on access. A Resort of apartments, town houses and villas of various models and designs, built on a ‘human scale’ around the edge of the golf course and just 1½ kilometers for the sea. Just about within walking distance of the beaches of the Mar Menor (for more information see ‘Mar Menor & La Manga’ in the left menu under the bullet point ‘Places of Interest’). The nearest beach is that of Los Alcazares which is a hive of activity and a holiday makers favourite (for more information see ‘Los Alcazares’ in the left menu under the bullet point ‘Places of Interest’). Located just 2 minutes drive off the main north/south motorway the AP7 and just 5 minutes drive of San Javier (Murcia) airport this is in a superb location. Located next to the Spanish village of Roda and 5 minutes from San Javier, the scene of the annual International Jazz Festival. With regards to the properties most penthouses have sea views, as do some apartments and all villas are front line golf. This is a low rise development in keeping with the local area with a Luxury 5 star De Vere hotel on site, the first in this region of Spain and there is a luxurious Social Club containing a restaurant, a café, a bar, the pro-shop and golf club already open. There is already a thriving social scene established here. The new on-site commercial area which will house more cafés, bars, restaurants and shops will be built commencing September 2010 and is to be in the style of a Spanish Pueblo. The Resort has wonderful sent-filled communal gardens that are stunning planted with indigenous plants of the region and the communal swimming pools are built at the rate of one pool for every 30 to 40 properties. But what makes Roda Golf & Beach Resort so very special is the Roda Beach Club, which is ultra modern and located at the very tip of the La Manga strip. There is a shuttle bus operating from the properties to the Beach Club on the La Manga strip. The Beach Club is extremely luxurious and very special indeed.

What is Unique about this Property: Where else can one buy a 4 bed 4 bath front line villa on a famous golf course, and a PGA course at that PLUS a Beach Club AND a full-blown rentals package for this price?
What is so Special about this Property?: Same as stated above really ... where else can one buy a 4 bed 4 bath front line villa on a famous golf course, and a PGA course at that PLUS a Beach Club AND a full-blown rentals package for this price?
Rental Potential: These villas can come with an optional Property Rentals package. This is a ‘Unique Selling Point’ for Roda Golf & Beach Resort. All rentals are pro-actively managed by the De Vere Hotels group. The average to mid 2008 is 15 weeks rental occupancy per annum per property. There is a special brochure available on the rental programme but as a guide a 2 bedroom apartment pays the property owner €580 per week in the high season and €300 to €450 per week in the low season, villas of course demand a higher rental. The success of the rentals programme is due to the golf course being the only PGA course and having the only PGA Academy in this region, plus Roda has the only ‘proper’ Beach Club in the region outside of the very expensive La Manga Club.
Build Size (m2): 156
Plot Size (m2): 400
Swimming Pool: Optional private swimming pool but there are communal swimming pools too.
Disabled/Mature Years Friendly?: Yes, in that there is an 'owners suite' downstairs, but one has to remember that this is a house, allbeit a big house, with an upstairs.
Parking: Private drive in front garden to park one vehicle.
Garden: Private garden on all sides, with the rear garden facing the golf course (front line to the golf course) plus wonderful flower filled communal gardens.
Resorts & Developments:

• Roda Golf & Beach Resort

Nearest Airport: Just 5 minutes drive of San Javier (Murcia) airport. Just under 1 hours drive from Alicante airport. When the 3rd airport serving this region at Corvera is built that will be about 30 minutes drive.
Golf: Roda Golf & Beach Resort has a Dave Thomas designed 18 hole par 72 PGA course and the first and only PGA Golf Academy in the entire South East of Spain. There are over 7,500 golfers in the PGA in Spain alone so this is a very busy golf course (maybe that is why property rentals are so successful here). The grass is all Bermuda grass which thrives in the hot arid sun making this a good course to play in summer when some other courses are struggling. The Head Green Keeper is the ex-Head Green Keeper of The Belfry. The Sam Puttlab is the only one currently in the entire region. A wide range of golf tuition plans are available making this possibly the best golf training venue in the entire South East of Spain. Roda Golf & Beach Resort is within what has become the ‘New Costa del Golf’ with 15 courses within a 25 kilometre radius.
Cafe, Bars and Restaurants: Roda Golf & Beach Resort already has a ‘posh’ Social Club containing a restaurant, a café, a bar, the pro-shop and golf club and it is already open. The restaurant has a ‘show kitchen’, a public restaurant and a private dining room, and from 9.30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays there is a Jazz night at the Club House. There is already a thriving social scene and regular ladies coffee mornings for example. Luxury 5 star De Vere hotel on site, the first to open in this region of Spain. The Roda Beach Club is ultra modern and located at the very tip of the La Manga strip. It opened on 10th July 2008 and there is a mini bus that runs from the properties to the ferry pick up point, then another mini bus waits at the ferry docking point on the La Manga strip (and vice versa for the return trip). The Beach Club is partly Residents only but the restaurant and bars are open to the public from 9.30pm onwards. In 2010 the commercial centre at Roda Golf & Beach Resort built in the style of a Spanish Pueblo is due to be completed containing more cafés, bars, restaurants and shops. Shops, Church (with occasional English spoken Mass on Sundays), tennis courts, café bars and restaurants all within the village of Roda which is within walking distance. There is no need to go outside of the village for day to day living. Street market in the village of Roda every Friday. The town of Los Alcazares is just within walking distance (for more on Los Alcazares select ‘Los Alcazares’ in the left hand menu under the bullet point ‘Places of Interest’). Large indoor shopping centre of ‘Dos Mares’ 5 minutes drive away. Medical centre 5 minutes drive. Hospitals 30 minutes drive. School 10 minutes drive.
Beach: Just within walking distance of the safe, sandy beaches of the Mar Menor with its extensive water sports (for more on the Mar Menor select ‘Mar Menor and La Manga’ in the left hand menu under the bullet point ‘Places of Interest’). Nearest beach is at Los Alcazares (for more on Los Alcazares select ‘Los Alcazares’ in the left hand menu under the bullet point ‘Places of Interest’). The Roda Beach Club is stunning and unique. It is located on the very tip of the La Manga strip and is reached by taking the mini bus from your property to the ferry at Santiago de la Ribera. The ferry ride over the beautiful Mar Menor is a wonderful trip in its own right and lasts some 20 to 30 minutes. At the Thomas Maestro marina another mini bus collects you and takes you the few minutes ride to the partly residents only Roda Beach Club. The Roda Beach Club is managed by the De Vere Hotels group so service and standards are particularly high.
Our Personal Opinion: This is the only true Golf and Beach Resort in this part of Spain (apart from the La Manga Club which is possibly 2, maybe 3 times as expensive). Whilst other builders or developers locally may claim they have one they do not. Some may have plans to do so at some time in the future (like Polaris World) but Roda have simply got on with it and done it. The Resort is on a human scale, it is not a sprawling urbanisation, it has an open and airy feel to it and the overall impression is one of attention to detail. It is certainly different and classy here – you’ll see that even from the style of the front entrance to the Resort. The properties exude class, the grounds and gardens are superb, the golf course is one of the very best and is a PGA Academy, there is a superb Social Club with its shops, restaurant, café, bar, pro-shop etc., the De Vere Hotel adds an even higher level of class to an already classy Resort, and the Beach Club is spectacular. If you did not want to go to the Beach Club the nearest beach is just 1½ kilometres walk away. The Roda Golf & Beach Resort has it all, and really has something for everyone. Finally every property owner gets a Roda Club card allowing 10% off everything at Roda – the restaurant, café, bar, clothing at the pro-shop, rounds of golf etc. Roda Golf & Beach Club should be at the top of your viewing list. As one more final point, Roda Golf & Beach Resort will guarantee you a mortgage on 70% of the property valuation, subject to the usual lending requirements of course.
