This detached villa stands on a 2,676 m² plot in Alhaurín de la Torre, a town of roughly 45,000 residents at the entrance of the Guadalhorce valley, about 17 km from Málaga. Built in 1992 and renovated internally in 2024 with external works in 2025, the property offers 235 m² of living space, four bedrooms and three bathrooms across a main house, an independent guest apartment and a separate office. The house is south-facing with views towards the mountains and valley, and includes a private pool and jacuzzi. Supermarkets and a pharmacy are within walking distance, and Málaga airport lies 5.6 km away.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in an urban environment on the lower slopes of the Sierra de Mijas, at approximately 116 m above sea level. A supermarket is 60 m away and a pharmacy 62 m, placing daily shopping within a short walk. Málaga city centre is 14 km distant, Torremolinos beaches roughly 7 km, and the airport 5.6 km. Train stations at Campanillas and La Colina are 5-6 km away.
The villa is set up for permanent or seasonal residence by a household that values outdoor space and privacy. The plot accommodates a landscaped garden with fruit trees, a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and jacuzzi. The independent guest house and separate office with its own entrance support multi-generational living, visiting guests, remote work or rental use. Access features for people with reduced mobility are listed among the property's features.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 1992 and has since undergone a full interior renovation in 2024 and external improvements in 2025. Systems renewed include electrics, water heaters, air conditioning and windows. The property is delivered in move-in-ready condition, so there is no construction phase or staged payment plan involved; purchase transfers an existing, renovated dwelling.
The property offers no communal facilities such as a shared pool, gym or concierge. The nearest electric vehicle charging point is 5.1 km away. The nearest beach is roughly 7 km, so no coastal walking access. The town has one health centre and no hospital within 6.5 km. The office space was originally a garage and would need reconversion if covered parking is required. AFO documentation applies to part of the property's legal status.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A household relocating permanently to the Costa del Sol that wants an established, renovated home in a year-round town, with schools, health services and shops at walking distance, will find the urban setting practical without resort-seasonality. Buyers seeking space for visiting family can use the independent guest house, which operates with its own kitchen and bathroom. Those working remotely can use the separate office with its own entrance and air conditioning. Multi-generational families benefit from three distinct living zones on one plot. Investors may consider renting the guest accommodation separately, subject to local licensing rules. It is less suitable for buyers wanting direct beach access, a gated community with shared facilities, or a brand-new build with developer warranties, the house dates from 1992, however thoroughly renovated. Buyers who need a garage should note the office occupies the former garage space. Households reliant on public transport can manage locally on the town's seven bus lines, but most regional trips, airport, beaches, Málaga, golf, assume a car.
The renovation programme addressed both finishes and building systems. Windows are DeKommerling units with triple glazing, paired with motorised shutters and mosquito screens; the current listing also mentions reinforced security features. Bathrooms have been fully renewed with wall-hung toilets, underfloor heating and Hansgrohe fittings. The electrical installation has been replaced, water heaters are new, and a drinking-water osmosis system is fitted. Climate control consists of hot and cold air conditioning throughout, supplementing the south-facing orientation that provides passive solar gain in winter. The guest house and office each have their own air conditioning. External works carried out in 2025 covered the building envelope and outside areas. The overall listed condition is 'recently renovated' and 'excellent'. As the property dates from 1992, the structural base predates current building codes; the energy certificate applies to the dwelling as renovated and should be reviewed during due diligence. No specific energy label is stated in the available data, so buyers should request the existing certificate. Storage is available in a storage room, and the property includes WiFi infrastructure and accessibility adaptations for people with reduced mobility.
The asking price is €799,000 for the complete property: main house, guest house, office, pool and the 2,676 m² plot. This is a single, completed residence rather than a development with multiple units and price tiers, so there is no 'from' pricing across a typology range. Compared with regional new-build alternatives, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, the price reflects the plot size, the 235 m² built area, the additional independent buildings and the 2024-2025 renovation works. Purchase costs, notary and registry fees, and taxes are additional to the asking price.
Daily life here centres on the plot itself and the immediate neighbourhood. The villa stands on a large, south-facing garden with a private pool, an outdoor kitchen, a solar-heated outdoor shower and a five-seat jacuzzi, with several terraces orientated to catch sun at different hours. Inside, the main house has an open-plan kitchen and dining area at its core, a living room that can function as an additional bedroom, two further bedrooms and two bathrooms with underfloor heating and Hansgrohe fittings. A separate loft-style guest house with its own kitchen, bathroom and covered terrace sits independently on the plot, and a self-contained office with its own entrance and air conditioning can serve as a workspace, studio or extra bedroom, or be converted back to a garage. The rhythm of the area is that of a functioning Andalusian town rather than a resort: shops, schools, cafés and restaurants operate year-round, and within a two-kilometre radius there are 18 restaurants, nine pharmacies and seven banks. Mornings might involve walking 60 m to the supermarket; evenings can be spent on the covered porch with views over the valley towards Málaga and the sea. The orientation and elevation mean mountain and country views are present from the terraces. Seven public transport lines and 41 stops serve the town, so a car is convenient but not strictly necessary for every trip, although the airport, beaches and golf courses are all most easily reached by car.
Alhaurín de la Torre functions as a residential town within the Málaga metropolitan area, with 45,066 residents (INE, 2025) and a full complement of daily services: 15 primary schools, five secondary schools, a health centre, supermarkets, banks and a wide range of cafés and restaurants. The property's position, supermarket at 60 m, pharmacy at 62 m, places errands within a two-minute walk. Sports infrastructure is notably close: Complejo Deportivo Carranque at 400 m, an indoor municipal pool at 500 m, an outdoor municipal pool at 1.2 km and the Polideportivo Blas Infante at 1 km, with 43 sports facilities counted in the wider area. For walking and hiking, the Sierra de Mijas offers viewpoints at Pico Palomas (3.2 km), Mirador del Lobo (3.7 km) and Mirador del Madroño (3.9 km). Transport-wise, seven bus lines with 41 stops serve the town; the nearest rail stations are Campanillas (5.2 km) and La Colina (6.3 km) on the Cercanías network. The environment is quieter than the coastal strip, with mountain and country views rather than sea views from ground level.
The map shows the property's position on the lower slopes of the Sierra de Mijas, with Málaga to the northeast, the airport 5.6 km north-east and the Torremolinos coast 7 km east. The supermarket and pharmacy immediately adjacent to the plot illustrate the walkable urban setting, while the golf courses cluster 5-6 km to the south.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Alhaurín de la Torre occupies a transitional position between Málaga city (14 km), the Torremolinos coast (7 km) and the Guadalhorce valley towns. It is closer to the airport than almost any residential municipality in the region, at 5.6 km. Compared with coastal resort towns, it offers a more year-round, Spanish-majority environment with lower tourist pressure; compared with inland valley towns such as Alhaurín el Grande or Coín, it is substantially closer to the coast and the capital. Marbella lies 33 km to the southwest. The municipality recorded 489 property transactions, indicating an active but not speculative local market.
Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 5.6 km away, roughly a 15-minute drive, which is a significant factor for international buyers and frequent travellers. Beaches at Torremolinos, Playa del Lido and Playa del Bajondillo, are 7.1-7.2 km distant, around 10-15 minutes by car. Málaga city (579,076 inhabitants) is 14 km away; Marbella is 33 km. Hospital care is 6.5 km from the property. Three golf courses lie within a similar radius: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (5.1 km), Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez (6.2 km) and Lauro Golf (6.3 km). Electric vehicle charging requires a trip of 5.1 km or more, including the Málaga Supercharger at 7.1 km. Gibraltar airport is approximately 91 km away for secondary flights.

The town records roughly 3,888 hours of sunshine per year and a mean annual temperature of 18.2°C, consistent with the interior Guadalhorce valley climate: hot summers moderated slightly by the Sierra de Mijas elevation, and mild winters. The swimming season, when sea temperature reaches 20°C or more, runs approximately four months, although the property's own pool extends this window independently. The site sits at 116 m above sea level on sloping terrain at the foot of the mountains, which explains the valley and mountain views and means parts of the garden are on gradients. The setting is land-inward, so summer temperatures typically run a couple of degrees above the immediate coast while winters remain frost-free in most years. The large plot with mature fruit trees and automatic irrigation reflects the local growing conditions.

The nearest Blue Flag-standard beaches of the Torremolinos coast are 7.1-7.2 km away, Playa del Lido and Playa del Bajondillo, reachable in about 15 minutes by car. Closer to home, recreation centres on the plot itself: a private swimming pool, jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen and garden, plus the municipal sports facilities within one kilometre, including indoor and outdoor pools. Golfers have three courses within a 6.3 km radius: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce, Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez and Lauro Golf. Hiking routes into the Sierra de Mijas begin near viewpoints such as Pico Palomas and Mirador del Madroño, 3-4 km away. The town's 34 local public holidays per year indicate an active festival calendar typical of Andalusian municipalities.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this property represents a different proposition from the coastal new-build developments typically advertised at comparable budget levels. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000, all significantly lower entry points, but for apartments or smaller units in developments with communal facilities and construction timelines still to complete. At €799,000, this villa competes on plot size (2,676 m²), total built area (235 m² plus guest house and office) and immediacy: it is completed, renovated and habitable now, with no phased payments or delivery risk. Geographically, Alhaurín de la Torre is one of the best-connected inland municipalities on the coast, closer to the airport (5.6 km) than most of Torremolinos or Benalmádena, while retaining a year-round Spanish town character and lower density than the coastal strip. Against Mijas or Estepona, it trades sea proximity and resort amenities for space, privacy and urban convenience: beaches are a 15-minute drive rather than a walk, but daily shopping is 60 m from the gate. The local market recorded 489 transactions in the municipality, and the provincial median income of €16,450 contextualises the regional economy. Buyers comparing this villa with new-build alternatives should weigh the absence of developer warranties against the completed renovation works of 2024-2025, and the absence of communal facilities against the presence of a private pool, jacuzzi and garden on a plot roughly ten times the footprint of a typical apartment development's per-unit allocation.
