I'm afraid that you have a big fat ZERO chance of getting a loan on a property that isn't urbanized....banks here are no longer in the mortgage business. Also keep in mind that those country properties cannot be changed in regard to size, they cannot be larger than the original build (so no swimming pool/tennis court) and cannot be built upwards. For many of the large fincas you see as ruins, you'll need to actually farm (register as a farmer!) at least 10,000 m2 in order to start restoration. There is a reason most are empty and just falling down.
And one other important consideration....absolutely no chance of an internet connection!! You'll be stuck with satellite, which is beyond the realms of frustration with huge lag times.
Sorry to say, but a webmaster's got to live urbanized.
