Introduction

Señorio De Roda is one of those really special developments. At spanish home 4u we are used to seeing well planned, well priced and well located developments, but Señorio De Roda has that ‘certain something’ extra. 

It is located in Roda, a quiet small Spanish town with a traditional way of life, near enough to ‘buzzy’ Los Alcazares to be within walking distance, yet far enough away to maintain the a real Spanish feeling of quiet calm, a place where the sound of birdsong fills the air. Just within walking distance of the beach.

Señorio De Roda has been designed as a village, is new yet has the traditional appearance of a bygone age. Within each inner square is a fountain contained within a secure gated pedestrian area filled with flowers.

Our Personal Opinion
To make a ‘plain English’ comparison, Señorio De Roda is the up market, small suburb of a small traditional Spanish town. Señorío De Roda has been called “very pretty” and “beautiful”. This is a ‘Must See’ development; no pictures can do it justice. The internal courtyards at Señorío De Roda are fabulous. Some roof terraces have sea views. If this is within your price range it is very well worth viewing. 

History
This is a historic place. In 1265 when King Jaime 1 of Aragon conquered the Kingdom of Murcia, amongst the noblemen accompanying him was Count Guillen of Roda. Out of gratitude for the Count’s support the King granted him two thousand hectares of land and hence the Señorío De Roda estate was formed. The estate was passed down into the Urbina family who still maintain the famous Hacienda de Roda mansion house on-site within the Señorío De Roda development.

Developer
The Urbina family are on record as stating that they searched long and hard for a suitable company to develop their vision for Señorío De Roda, to maintain the historical and artistic heritage of the surroundings. PEINSA, with their history and over 30 years experience had the necessary skills, but more importantly the sensitivity needed to combine the sense of history with the creation of a residential complex of the same standing as the existing estate. PEINSA rose to the challenge of designing and building a brand new village with the traditional appearance of a bygone age.

Properties at Señorío De Roda range from 150,000 Euros to 291,000 Euros.

Holiday home or permanent residence?
Señorio De Roda is a mixed community, some people live here all year long as permanent residents, some use their properties as holiday homes, and there is already a strong feeling of community here. Essentially the 3 bedroom townhouses are of a similar size to many UK properties; these are not tiny holiday homes, these are ‘real homes’, one can live here. These 3 bedroom townhouses are significantly larger than the 2 bedroom ones, a point that doesn’t really become too evident from the plans nor the photos. 

Gated Community?
No, Señorío De Roda is not a gated community, there is no secure perimeter with control on access, this is a small village-type suburb of a small Spanish town. However there is an on-site security patrol around the development at night.

Building site or finished development?
Señorío De Roda is entirely finished, this is not a building site, and already it looks well established with a ‘lived-in’ feel.
