Plots in Segovia - buy, sell or rent easily

Where to buy land in Segovia

Segovia has one of the highest average urban land values in Castilla y León. Building plots are in a similar situation, as they are concentrated in the same areas as urban land. Meanwhile, the municipalities with the cheapest land for sale are Fuentidueña, Villagonzalo de Coca, Turégano, Riaza, Castillejo de Mesleón and Navas de San Antonio. This is due to the wide availability of rustic estates in the area.

On the other hand, several towns in Segovia have urban plots for sale that are more expensive than in the provincial capital itself: El Espinar, Villeguillo, Tabanera del Monte, Valverde del Majano, Navafría, Montecorredores and Ortigosa del Monte.

One of the highest values in Castilla y León thanks to its proximity to the Spanish capital

The province of Segovia lies in the north of Spain's Central Plateau, in the south-east of Castilla y León. It covers more than 650,000 hectares, over 7% of the autonomous community. The differences in altitude of its varied relief create a diverse climate with cold winters and hot summers. Rainfall is irregular and most frequent in spring and autumn. Climate matters a great deal in Segovia, as it is an eminently agricultural area.

A relief that favours working the land

The Segovian landscape, with more than 590,000 hectares of rustic land, is made up of three main types of relief: mountain ranges, plains and valleys. Most of the territory is a vast plain with an average altitude of 900 m.

Segovia has a long farming tradition. More than 250,000 hectares are used for farming, with cereals and livestock standing out. Vineyards are also present in some districts. Among cereals, barley and wheat predominate. The most important livestock are sheep, cattle, pigs and poultry.

The forest land covers more than 180,000 hectares, over 25% of the territory. It is a very important resource for the province, as forestry is the mainstay of the resin, timber and furniture industries.

The south-east of the province has the municipalities with the most urban land

Most municipalities in Segovia are small and sparsely populated. However, this changes in the south-east of the province, where towns are larger and more populated due to the proximity of the Community of Madrid. In total, the urban area covers more than 10,000 hectares, while developable land covers more than 12,000 hectares. Residential land grows in step with the population and is concentrated in the south-east.

A developing industry

The Segovia metropolitan area is home to the main industrial estates and has a developing industrial base. It faces a number of problems that hold back industrial consolidation in the area, chiefly depopulation, a lack of adequate infrastructure, the need to improve basic utilities and a shortage of entrepreneurship. Even so, it has sectors of some national importance, notably agri-food, extractive mining, energy and timber.

Segovia, a place of strong tradition heavily influenced by Madrid

It offers some very interesting features for investment. It is an area with a privileged geographical location and a traditional, well-developed farming sector. Its proximity to the Community of Madrid has both advantages and drawbacks, as it means most of the population is concentrated in the south-east. This leads to higher population and greater demand for land, which gives it one of the highest average land values in Castilla y León. In the rest of the province, most municipalities are small, a result of depopulation. Industry benefits from the proximity to the Spanish capital and has several nationally recognised sectors, although it is still developing.
