COLDWELL BANKER COLDWELL BANKER is pleased to present this opportunity! This 3,000 m2 plot houses two independent semi-detached houses, which share the same access to the property and each have their own entrances. The plot is very spacious, private, and quiet, with large native trees in true Bellaterra style. A true oasis, just a 4-minute walk from the shopping area, the train station, and all the town's services. The entire complex, including semi-detached houses and a plot, is ideal for investors who want to rent out the homes or renovate them for sale. They can also segregate the plot for sale as the last and most spacious flat plot near the station. We have the land division project approved by the City Council. Horizontal division is possible once the property registration has been completed, as follows: The property can be divided into two plots: Plot A, measuring 1,649.59 m2, contains an existing single-family home with a basement of 112.14 m2, a ground floor of 104.75 m2, and a first floor of 104.13 m2. The total built area above ground level is 321.02 m2, divided equally between the two semi-detached homes. The two semi-detached homes are exactly the same: the ground floor houses the living-dining room, kitchen, and guest toilet. The first floor has three bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and the other two sharing a full bathroom. The basement contains the laundry room and a large multipurpose room. Both the ground floor and basement have access to the outside, as does the upper floor, where the master bedroom has access to a delightful terrace. The only substantial difference between the two homes is that one has a furnished terrace with access from the living-dining room, and the other semi-detached house has direct access to the garden from the basement. Furthermore, only one of them has an elevator. Plot B, measuring 1,431.42 m2, offers all the residential appeal you could imagine. This is the last available, undeveloped plot of land next to Bellaterra Station. A luxury for those who don't want to rely on a car to get to any service. Furthermore, the plot is completely flat, with the advantages that this entails: being able to build your dream home on a single floor, without the need for stairs. And finally, the plot is filled with beautiful trees that will make you feel truly surrounded by nature. LOCATION: Bellaterra is located in an elevated and sunny area, between the towns of Sant Cugat, Sabadell, Sant Quirze, and Cerdanyola. True to its origins, it has established itself as a prime residential area with a year-round family resident population. Separated from the Collserola mountain range, Bellaterra faces the sea to the southeast and the Montseny mountain range to the northeast. Its strategic location places it 12 minutes from Barcelona via the C-58 and 20 minutes from the AP-7 and B-30. This connectivity provides access to all desirable services. In less than 5 minutes, you can reach leading hospitals, universities (UAB, UIC, and ESADE), the most prestigious international schools (Ágora, Europa School International, Japanese School, Thau, Viaró, La Vall), shopping centers (IKEA; Corte Inglés, cinemas), industrial estates (Can Sant Joan, Riu sec, etc.), and prominent sports centers. It offers the services typical of a small town, such as a pharmacy, bank, church, restaurants, sports club, hair salon, pet shop, and gas stations, among others. It also has two Generalitat railway stations. It offers everything you need to live in a natural setting without sacrificing immediate access to the surrounding cities. #ref:CBSC241
