The property overlooks the shared pool, the driving range and practice areas of the Indiana course. The patio is ideal for lazy lunches or evening drinks.
Though in a very quiet and safe location the house is only a couple ofminutes walking distance from the clubhouse, first tee, crocodile club, on site shop and is adjacent to the practice area.
The Golf
The Indiana course is the first desert course in Europe and has been built to full USGA specifications and quality standards to match those of the famous desert courses of Arizona and California. The course has unforgettable views and dramatic golf with volcanic rock beds and cacti for hazards. The upkeep of the course is outstanding with fairways and greens that can only be described as manicured. A great test for golfing of all standards and an unforgettable experience.
There is a stunning practice area conveniently located next to the La Fuente development. This includes a putting green, driving range and chipping area. Lessons are available from the resident professional.
For those who would like to play other golf courses, Valle del Este and Marina Golf, both full 18 hole challenging courses, are within a 20 minute drive.
Resort and Surrounding Area
In addition to the pool in front of the house, for the exclusive use of La Fuente residents, there are plenty of activities for the non golfer. There is a Day Spa, the El Torrente clubhouse and restaurant, the Crocodile Club with bars, restaurant, tennis, paddle, gymnasium, free form swimming pool and children`s play areas. For the fitness enthusiast there is the Daley Thomson designed trim trail.
Close by is the pretty fishing village of Villaricos with its two small harbours and a selection of bars and restaurants. There is an excellent quiet beach on the edge of the village with its own Chiringuito. Along the coast is the fishing port of Garrucha with a wide variety of bars and restaurants, some serving the world renowned Garrucha Prawns (check the price before you order!).
Only a little further along are the lovely beaches of Mojacar Playa with a huge selection of bars, restaurants, beach bars and entertainment. Along the way you will pass the water park at Vera, a must for children of all ages. Up on the hillside, seeming to cling to the mountain, is the charming white town of Mojacar with wonderful views around the Moorish fortress at the top of the town.
Slightly further afield, on the south eastern tip of Spain, is the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park, a huge protected coastal area with spectacular cliffs, dunes, beaches and desert flora and fauna. There are little towns dotted along the coast with beaches, restaurants and bars while the Salinas de Cabo de Gata salt extraction lagoons have flocks of pink flamingos.
An hour away is the Moorish influenced city of Almeria with the Alcazaba Palace, Cathedral, Boulevards, Port and shopping. Much closer to Desert Springs in the town of Vera there is a huge Saturday market, only one of many in the region.
Just north of Almeria at Tabernas is the “Mini Hollywood” theme park of Oasys. This recreation of the wild west of America is where many films were made in the 60`s and 70`s. There are live shows, a wild west saloon, film museum, bar, restaurant, swimming pool and childrens play area.
