This property is a detached villa located in the Pinos de Alhaurín neighborhood in Alhaurín de la Torre, Málaga. Situated on a 2,428 m² plot, the residence offers a total living area of 308 m², distributed across two fully independent residential units. The villa features five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Notable features of the location include its inland setting at the foot of the Sierra de Mijas mountains, approximately 8.4 kilometers (as the crow flies) from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport. The property includes a private garden, swimming pool, and multiple covered terraces.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is located in the Pinos de Alhaurín urbanization, inland from the main coast. Situated at an elevation of approximately 104 meters above sea level on the edge of the Guadalhorce valley, the environment is defined by green hills and a rural atmosphere, with views of the Sierra de Mijas mountain range. The neighborhood is primarily residential, offering tranquility and space, with shops for daily necessities within a short distance.
The layout of the villa focuses on functional flexibility. With two fully self-contained living units, the property offers possibilities for large families or multifunctional use, such as accommodating multiple generations under one roof. The presence of an elevator in the building ensures accessibility between floors. Externally, there are spaces for recreation and relaxation, including a barbecue area and a swimming pool, effectively extending indoor living to the outdoors.
The property is an existing home with a modern aesthetic. According to available data, the home is in a recent state of maintenance, and the ground floor has a history of successful rental as a vacation property. Finishes include materials such as marble flooring and double glazing. All technical systems, including air conditioning in all rooms, are operational and ready for immediate occupancy.
Given the inland location, the distance to the Costa del Sol beaches is greater than in direct coastal locations. The nearest beaches are over 7.5 kilometers away as the crow flies, meaning a car is necessary for beach visits. The neighborhood lies outside Málaga city center and has a lower density of public transport, making private transport the primary mobility requirement.
This project fits well with households looking for space and privacy. For large families or families where parents and (in-law) parents live together, the layout with two separate entrances offers the ability to be together with sufficient autonomy. It is also suitable for people working from home needing office space in one of the units. Additionally, it may be interesting for investors seeking a property with rental potential, given the ground floor's history of vacation rentals. The location, however, requires a preference for a quiet, rural environment over direct access to the beach.
The home features various finishes focused on comfort and ease of maintenance. The entrance and hallway feature red marble flooring, providing a robust look. Bathrooms are modern with dark-colored tiles and necessary sanitary installations. The kitchens feature a modern layout, with the ground floor kitchen having a direct connection to the outdoor area. The outdoor space itself is landscaped with lighting that accentuates the garden and pool in the evening. Technically, the property is equipped with air conditioning in all bedrooms and living areas, as well as fireplaces for ambient heating in the cooler months.
The asking price for this project starts at €695,000. This figure represents a property of 308 m² of living space on a large plot. Compared to real estate on the direct coastal strip, this price point typically offers more square meters of living space and ground per euro. The price reflects the number of bedrooms (5) and the distinctive layout with two separate units. Note that prices in the Málaga region vary based on the precise state of maintenance and specific location features.
Pinos de Alhaurín offers a living environment situated between the town life of Alhaurín de la Torre and the natural surroundings of the Guadalhorce area. For residents, this means returning to a quiet environment after a workday. The spacious plot size of 2,428 m² ensures privacy in the garden and around the pool. The proximity to amenities, such as supermarkets at 2.0 km and sports centers within 1 km, allows for practical daily tasks without long travel times. The view from the home is oriented towards the mountains and countryside, offering a panoramic vista that changes with the daylight.
Alhaurín de la Torre is a municipality with nearly 45,000 inhabitants, ensuring a mature level of basic amenities. There are various sports facilities in the immediate vicinity, such as Complejo Deportivo Carranque and several swimming pools within walking distance. For daily groceries, there are supermarkets at 2.0 km and a pharmacy at 1.5 km. The presence of multiple primary and secondary schools in the area makes the location practical for families with school-aged children. The location at the foot of the Sierra de Mijas also provides access to hiking and nature areas, increasing recreational options for active residents.
The map shows the position of the villa in the Pinos de Alhaurín neighborhood, north of the A-7 motorway and the airport. Distances to golf courses and the city of Málaga are clearly visible, underscoring the rural yet strategic location.
Alhaurín de la Torre is part of the 'Comarca del Guadalhorce', an area inland from Málaga. This positioning results in a different lifestyle than coastal towns; it is quieter and scenically greener. The city of Málaga is easily accessible for urban amenities, culture, and history. The distance to tourist attractions like Benalmádena and Fuengirola is short, but one lives here outside the direct sphere of mass tourism, which benefits the authentic Spanish character of the region.
The villa is strategically positioned relative to major infrastructure. Málaga Airport is 8.4 km away as the crow flies, ensuring good international accessibility. For beach lovers, the beaches of Torreblanca and Fuengirola are approximately 8 km away. Access to the A-7 motorway, which serves the Costa del Sol, is reachable within a few minutes' drive. Golfers can enjoy the nearby Lauro Golf course, located 3.8 km away. For public transport, residents rely on bus connections from the center of Alhaurín de la Torre, as the Pinos de Alhaurín urbanization is not directly on a train line.

The Alhaurín de la Torre location enjoys a microclimate protected by the mountains, making it cooler than the immediate coast in summer but warmer in winter. With an average annual temperature of 18.2°C and over 3,800 hours of sunshine per year, the climate is suitable for outdoor living. The elevation at 104 meters above sea level provides a light breeze and good air quality, away from the bustle of the coastal road. The walking environment in the immediate vicinity is hilly, inviting physical activity with panoramic views of the valley.

Although the project is inland, the beaches of the Costa del Sol are within easy reach. Playa de Arroyo Hondo and Playa Las Viborillas are located at a distance of 7.9 to 8.0 km as the crow flies. For golfers, this project is particularly suitable due to the proximity of various golf courses. Besides Lauro Golf (3.8 km), Club de Golf de Guadalhorce is located at 7.6 km. For recreation within the neighborhood, there are various sports centers and swimming pools, including an indoor pool at 0.2 km distance, allowing for activity even in the winter months.

Compared to coastal projects like Arosa in Mijas or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola, this villa in Alhaurín de la Torre offers more square meters of living space and a much larger plot for a similar or lower price per m². While coastal projects often offer apartments or townhouses with shared amenities, this property offers complete autonomy and privacy. The price of €695,000 is significantly higher than, for example, Astra Homes in Fuengirola, but this reflects the plot size (2428 m² vs. usually <200 m²) and the luxury of a detached villa over an apartment. One trades immediate beach access for tranquility and space.
