My Father designed and build the Golf Course. I was with him and in the first year I was managing the golf course. After that year the owners decided to hire a "golf company" to run the golf course... that was a terrible mistake. It is devastating see a golf resort that once had life, now is completely dead. Great video

I'm glad you enjoyed the video - such a shame the golf course was never finished. Many thanks for watching and stay safe :)
Being a golfer and that there are many abandoned golf resorts like this and that a lot of people have lost money on the pretext that this was probably going to be a premier resort. Shattered dreams comes to mind. Thanks for these videos Shaun.

Thank you Nic, you're right - lot of people lost their hard earned money and never going to get their dream. It's always interesting that these places are still being planned along the coast, even now! Glad you enjoyed the video! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Another great day out for Bonny. It's fascinating how you show the effect of the crash on Spain, all those lost dreams. Great vid Shaun, thank you.

Thank you Ian, Bonnie had a great time chasing rabbits and birds!!!! Yeh it's a shame these places never get finished - glad you enjoyed the video! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Another great explore of a abandoned resort. It's really a shame they never finished these projects. Fine looking tee-shirt. Cheers.

Thank you Ron, glad you enjoyed the video and agree it's such a waste and glad you like the new t-shirt! Great chatting yesterday, really enjoyed it! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Another good review Shaun, such a shame to see all those empty properties, have a good weekend.

Thank you Rob, have to agree - such a shame as people have lost there money and still fighting to get their money back! Glad you liked the video! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Hi Shaun love these vids seems your the only one doing reports on these projects fascinating 👍🏼

Thank you Darrell, glad you enjoy them - can't believe how many of these places are dotted around the Murcia region! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Gosh, what is it with Spain and building resorts and abandoning them? Surely these places could be put to good use somehow? Your video is a real eye opener, thanks for sharing mate.

Thank you Adrian, they keep building these places sometimes without planing permission and then get stopped! Even today there are plans to build more of these places along the coast. Glad you liked the video! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
That shirt is quite stylish Shaun! Those empty homes seem like such a waste. 🙁

Thank you Ralph, seen this one a while ago but was trying to find a way in to explore! Glad you enjoyed the video! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Just been offered one of the flats for €83k. Looked on Google and saw that it looked suspicious. Thanks for the video. Clarified a lot!

Always warning people about not checking first when buying property here in Spain, still goes on and well done for checking - many thanks for watching and good luck in your search.
I don't think it's like that any more. Thanks to the return of building and the resurgence of the real estate world. Many places in the region that were dead in 2019 have been resurrected. Has this place made it to this day? Thank you.

Hi, unfortunately not, still over grown and the golf resort opposite is still not finished. Thankfully some places have, I've a video out next Tuesday, that has been finished and are up for sale. Many thanks for watching :)
I’m always amazed how these abandoned properties are accessible to the public in your parts. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area. It would be fenced off and demolished in a matter of weeks. Unfortunately, we have a bad homeless issue here. People living on the sides of the highways and along creeks. The Google’s, Apple’s, Tesla’s etc. have priced out people and forced them to seek shelter in these areas. Anyway-Well done! Shaun. I like the various camera shots from below and above.
5 лет назад
Thank you Al, they are starting to demolish these places once they get the money - one I did a while ago has gone back to farm land but the people who invested in these places are still fighting to get there money back! Wish I could say they have stopped doing this - there is a few big new complexes being built - I'm waiting to capture them on camera! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Very interesting Shaun - I find these places fascinating. I guess there are only so many golf resorts one area can carry. With La Tercia, Sierra Golf and El Valle all nearby, just to name 3, is there a need for another.? Also Mosa Golf is supposedly reopening too and that’s in the same general area. Another place to visit - I’ve got enough for several holidays now. Just as well my husband likes driving!

Thank you Kate, glad you enjoyed the video - I've still got a few more golf resorts to capture and somebody else mentioned Most golf - I've added it to the list! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Thanks again Shaun for an interesting video. I wonder if more resorts are being planned why aren’t these abandoned ones finished off and sold, it would seem an obvious thing for a developer to do?
5 лет назад
Thank you and good question - some of these sites didn't have full planing permission and the courts close them and with debts, no one wants to take them on and others, the money ran out and left many people who invested money into the property never got their home1 I wish I could say this down;t happen anymore but have seen some one ones are being built!!! Glad you liked the video. Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Hi Shaun o OMG only Seen This Video now of united Golf Resorts we are 1 of the people That lost our Dream Home it is so Sad to See This Video we are Still fighting for our mny Bk after 10 years when The Crash Happened its Hartbreaking we Live in IRELAND 😣
5 лет назад+1
Thank you Annette for watching the video - I'm sorry to hear about you lost your dream home. I've been covering the area looking at these abandoned places, most without planing permission. I hope you get your money back - So was this part of the La Tercia Golf Resort which is just across the road? I can't find any information about this site as I know on the La Tercia site they were building Phase 2 when the crash happened. I hope you get it sorted one day. Many thanks for watching :)
Make me feel sad for all the people who invested their life saving into these decaying places.....

Thank you Barry and very true about people losing there money and still fighting to get their hard earned money back! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
We bought off plan at LaTercia Real around 15 years ago. You are quite right, it is nothing to do with United Golf across the road. The resort was going to be beautiful with tree lined boulevards and a mix of traditional looking villas unlike the concrete monoliths on the adjacent resort. Sadly the recession hit around 2007 shortly after they started building and Piensa pulled the plug. We were lucky enough to have a decent lawyer who insisted on a bank guarantee and we got our deposit back quite quickly. Others I believe weren't so lucky.

Thank you Gordon for your comment, it's very hard trying to get information about developments and nice to get a reply from somebody who was going to buy here. Thankfully you got your money back. Many thanks for watching and stay safe :)
Where does Camposol get its water? Are some of these abandoned developments abandoned because promised water rights were never granted, or later revoked? In the western USA, water availability is generally what limits growth.
5 лет назад
Thank you Rob, our water comes from the sea and the water for the farming areas come from the north of Spain. Most of the abandoned developments was not having the correct planing permission and lack of investment to finish the developments. Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Expat in Mazarron thanks for the info. That makes a lot of sense, are desalination plants solar powered? Desalination is not very common in the US (yet).
Its interesting these locations as you do wonder just "why". As a lot of these can be put to use even today unless they have structural issues and I can understand finance issues but isn't it better than a blot on the landscape?
5 лет назад+1
Thank you Matt, some of these sites build before full planing permission and are stopped by the courts and others just run out of money leaving the investor picking up the bill and it'd still going on!!! Keeps me busy checking them out! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Thank you Anthony, such a shame it was never finished - lot of people lost there money on those buildings. Glad you enjoyed the video with Bonnie. Many thanks for watching :)
@ thank you for your videos, I was in Spain this past Semana Santa, went to Cayaluña, Basque country, La Rioja etc, do you ever make videos in that part of the country? It'd be great!
This resort was called Le Tercia real. It's got nothing to do with United golf resort which is opposite, so it's not phase 2 or even 3! The idea of these videos showing people around different resorts is great but why don't you research the areas before making the video? You seem to give quite a negative impression of some of the these places when in actuall fact they have alot going for then if you were to speak to some of the residents.

Thank you Simon, as the title says - Abandoned Golf Resort, no one lives here as they never finished them except the show villas. La Tercia is opposite, maybe you need to watch this video ruclips.net/video/o_Th_w0fIUE/видео.html Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)
@ Hi Shaun, I've watched the video, and like I said, the 3 abandoned villas is/was going to be Le Tercia Real, the resort opposite is totally separate which is United Golf resorts (UGR). Except for the 2 apartment buildings by the rear entrance which have had problems with footings the rest of the complex comprises of good quality spacious villas and apartments with lovely pool and garden areas and yes I know you've done a video on this too. I'm not critasizing your videos but making a point that getting some factual info on these places first would be great and possibly beneficial to potential buyers if they were to be looking in this area or any area you decide to do a video. So keep it up and I'll definitely keep watching. Simon

Thank you for the information Simon and now I can add this in the info below the video.

Many thanks for your help and keep watching :)
