Introduction
The Polaris World Cortijos de Alhama Golf Resort (the large farmhouses of Alhama), also called Cortijos de Alhama Resort or just simply Cortijos de Alhama is the absolute crème de la crème of all of the Resorts within the “Super Resort” of Condado de Alhama, what Polaris World calls “A World of Resorts”. Here are to built in total just 40 absolutely luxurious large villas set in large plots contained within its own high security area with its own dedicated manned (i.e. not automated) security access – access is restricted to only residents of these 40 villas so heightening the sense of security and exclusivity. Here are to built some of the largest and most luxurious villas that Polaris World have ever built in one of the most exclusive developments Polaris World have ever developed. 

The Polaris World Cortijos de Alhama Golf Resort is a self contained Resort in its own right. It is located at the western edge of Condado de Alhama, abuts one of the huge lakes and looks into the fabulous 950,000 square metres Jack Nicklaus ‘Signature’ 18 hole golf course. Cortijos de Alhama contains just 40 absolutely luxurious villas of 3 designs ranging from 143 to 370 square metres of living accommodation on plots ranging from 480 to 1,100 square metres.

Just 10 villas will be built front line to the Jack Nicklaus ‘Signature’ course at the Cortijos de Alhama Resort, with the lake at the bottom of their rear gardens and the golf course beyond. These are the most expensive, luxurious and best located properties on the whole Condado, most definitely for the discerning buyer.

Our Personal Opinion
At the Polaris World Cortijos de Alhama Golf Resort are to built just 40 in total absolutely luxury villas, some of the largest, the most expensive, the most luxurious and the best located properties that Polaris World have ever built, aimed absolutely at the discerning and affluent buyer. At Cortijos de Alhama Resort are 3 designs of luxury villas from 3 bedroom 2 bathroom villas up to 5 bedroom 5 bathroom villas all built to a traditionally Spanish design and ranging from 143 to 370 square metres of living accommodation on plots ranging from 480 to 1,100 square metres. Of these just 10 villas will be built front line to the Jack Nicklaus ‘Signature’ course, with the lake at the bottom of the rear garden and the golf course beyond. The trademark high security of all Polaris World properties is further enhanced especially for the 40 property owners at Cortijos de Alhama, as these 40 villas will have their own dedicated security access into their tiny Resort and access is restricted to residents only, so heightening the sense of security and utmost exclusivity.  Buying these ‘Off-Plan’ Polaris World Cortijos de Alhama Golf Resort properties must surely be an investment for the future – not just in purely financial terms, but as an investment in ones quality of life.

Price range
From €586,300 to €1,592,600.

SENIOR properties available?
There IS a SENIOR version of the villa Jazmin available and on the Polaris World price list. However all of the villas at the Cortijos de Alhama Resort are large bungalow style villas so all might be suitable for the less able bodied and those of mature years.

Availability
‘Off-Plan’.

Value for money? 
 €½ million is undoubtedly a lot of money to spend in Spain and €½ million used to be a phenomenal amount of money to pay on the Costa Calida for a property, but as this Costa has become a ‘Hot Spot’ properties of this value are regularly becoming available, and for this level of exclusivity and luxury the 3 bedroom 2 bathroom villas will be sought after as they represent excellent value for money. Polaris World have tended up until now to generally stop at 3 bedroom villas with just a very limited number of larger villas being built, so the more expensive 4 bedroom 3 bathroom villas and especially the 5 bedroom 5 bathroom villas here are aimed at the more affluent and discerning client for whom exclusivity, luxury, exceptionally high security and rarity value will itself generate the desire to own one of these properties. One expects that the Polaris World Cortijos de Alhama Resort will be populated by those very successful in their careers; maybe the “Rich and Famous” for whom a private enclave away from the public gaze is what really matters. One must also remember that the Cortijos is within the “Super Resort” of Condado de Alhama with so many leisure, sporting and dining choices with all the things that Polaris World build in to their Resorts, complemented by a backdrop of mountains yet still close to the sea, so producing an unbeatable case for purchasing one of these rare and beautiful properties.

Payment terms
• Euros 3,000 deposit.
• 25% within 20 days.
• 15% within 270 days.
• Balance upon legal Completion.

Size and Scale
• Just 40 luxury villas in large plots.
• Just 10 front line to the lake with the Jack Nicklaus ‘Signature’ course beyond.
• Traditionally Mediterranean styled villas.
• This is no typical Polaris World Resort, it’s not even a typical small exclusive development, this is the ‘Super Rich’ private retreat in its own enclave with its own dedicated security and its own manned security access restricted to residents only.
• The Resort itself is the smallest and most exclusive in the entire Condado.
• The Condado will have a wide choice of leisure pursuits available, a huge breadth of café bars and restaurants and the choice of no less than 3 Jack Nicklaus golf courses on-site so here will be something for everyone. Add into the value for money quotient all the things that Polaris World builds in to their Resorts and these properties become exceptionally attractive.

Holiday home or permanent residence?
Either.

Gated community?
Yes, and the highest level of security to be found at any Polaris World Resort anywhere. Not only is the general Condado de Alhama itself secure, with manned security access, but this Cortijos de Alhama Resort, even though it consists of just 40 villas, has its own dedicated manned security control, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is no higher level of security on any other Polaris World Resort anywhere … not even at El Valle where the President of Polaris World lives.

Building site or finished development?
Work has still to commence and the build programme is 1½ to 2 years. As this is a tiny Resort of just 40 villas one expects that they should all be completed on time and together so that the workmen will then en-mass move off site.

Show villas
There are currently no Cortijos de Alhama properties of this level of luxury available to view BUT we ourselves at spanish home 4u own similar luxury villas at the exclusive Polaris World El Valle Resort, so our own villas are available to our clients to view to demonstrate the level of finish and quality that one can expect at Polaris World Cortijos de Alhama Resort. Within the wider Condado de Alhama Resort there are show apartments to view, so one can also see the on-site quality of workmanship and overall finish if not on the exact property that one is interested in, then at least on one on the Condado.

Café bars and restaurants
• At the centre of the Condado de Alhama is planned to be the Oasis, built in a Hispano-Arabic style. It has been designed as the largest sports and commercial complex in the whole Murcia region of Spain. So it will be massive! It is neither a typical town centre nor a traditional shopping centre, but an island of wide streets and spacious squares covering 100,000 square meters. It aims to evoke a bustling Arabic quarter with its palm trees and shops, cafés, bars, restaurants, offices and other services to be found here. At one end of the island is an independent island that houses the Banos de Alhama thermal baths, with their hot and cold indoor and outdoor pools, spa and sauna covering 7,000 square meters. At the centre of Condado de Alhama is the huge lake. A sheet of water covering 200,000 square meters, and beyond that the brilliant green of the golf courses. The water from the lake is channelled through the streets of the town centre to form ponds and fountains, and small piers jut out into the lake.
• Outside of the Polaris World Cortijos de Alhama Resort are numerous other Resorts of the Condado de Alhama ‘Super Resort’, so countless leisure and sporting activities will be here, very close by. This is a true ‘Super Resort’, the very first in this part of Spain.
• The seaside town of Mazarron is just 10 to 15 minutes drive away with all of its typically Spanish cafés, bars, restaurants and shops.
• The Spanish town of Alhama de Murcia is very close by for a traditional inland and unrushed experience.
• As an owner of a Polaris World property, homeowners become members of the Polaris Club, allowing access to all Polaris World Resorts facilities, be they shops, hotels, sports, spas or golf. 

Golf
• 3 Jack Nicklaus designed 18 hole golf courses on site. Not just one but two ‘Bears Best’ courses and the third course being a ‘Signature’ course.
• As an owner of a Polaris World property, homeowners become members of the Polaris Club, allowing access to all Polaris World Resorts facilities, be they shops, hotels, sports, spas or golf. Of  note is the Nicklaus Golf Trail, the 9 golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, all of which are within Polaris World Resorts, 3 are here on site and all are within a 25 kilometre radius.
• Close by are other non-Polaris World courses, in total there are approaching 20 golf courses within a 25 kilometre radius!

Beach
• The gently shelving, safe and sandy beaches of Mazarron are just about 10 to 15 minutes drive away (for information on Mazarron please click on the highlighted text Mazarron beaches).
• Polaris World also planned to build their own beach club at the end tip of the beautiful La Manga Strip, and the nearest Mar Menor beach is around 25 to 30 minutes drive away (for more information on the Mar Menor beaches click on the highlighted text Mar Menor and La Manga). The Polaris World Beach Club La Manga will have café bars and a restaurant with a swimming pool on-site.
