This development plot in Alhaurín de la Torre offers 710m² of land with permission for a 240m² dwelling. Located in a residential area with established infrastructure, the plot presents an opportunity to construct a custom home within a planned development of six villas. The setting combines accessibility to Málaga and the Costa del Sol with a more inland position, providing mountain views while maintaining proximity to urban amenities and transportation links.
When compared to other developments in the Costa del Sol region, this land opportunity in Alhaurín de la Torre presents a distinctive positioning. Unlike comparable projects in Estepona such as Acqua Gardens (from €418,800), Aby Upper (from €320,000), or Alba Benalmadena (from €598,000), this offering provides a more inland location with corresponding price advantages. The €245,000 starting price represents a more accessible entry point to property ownership in the region, though it excludes construction costs. The key distinction lies in the development approach, rather than purchasing a completed property in a predominantly tourist-oriented coastal area, buyers gain the flexibility to create a custom home in a residential setting with year-round community. The proximity to Málaga city and airport (5.6km) offers practical advantages for those requiring regular access to urban amenities or international travel, while the elevation of 113 metres above sea level provides a temperate climate distinct from the sometimes-humid coastal conditions.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot is positioned in La Alquería, a residential area of Alhaurín de la Torre with developed infrastructure. At 113 metres above sea level, it sits at the entrance to the Guadalhorce valley on the slopes of the Sierra de Mijas mountains. The location offers a balance between inland living and coastal access, with essential amenities within walking distance.
This plot accommodates the construction of a single-family home with flexibility in design. The 240m² permitted building area allows for various configurations, potentially including multiple bedrooms and bathrooms to suit different household requirements. The space permits both indoor and outdoor living areas, with potential for private gardens and terraces to address the desire for outdoor Mediterranean lifestyle.
The plot is classified as building-ready land with certification for single-family homes. Buyers may choose to purchase individual or multiple plots depending on their requirements. The development offers the option to include a contemporary villa project with each plot, with possibilities to incorporate features such as swimming pools, solar installations, underfloor climate control, and smart home systems according to individual preferences.
The plot does not include pre-constructed buildings or immediate occupancy. As an inland location, it does not offer direct sea views or beachfront access. The development does not provide shared facilities such as communal pools or gardens, as each villa would be privately maintained. The mountainous terrain may present certain design considerations for construction and accessibility.
This land opportunity particularly suits those seeking to create a custom home in a well-established but not overly developed area. It might appeal to families looking for permanent residence in a location with good access to schools and amenities, or to individuals planning a second home for regular use rather than occasional holidays. The proximity to Málaga airport makes it practical for those requiring frequent travel connections, while the inland position offers a respite from coastal crowds during peak seasons. The plot would also suit investors interested in developing property in an area with growth potential, particularly given the flexibility to purchase multiple plots. For those seeking a balance between Spanish sunshine and mountain views rather than beachfront living, this location offers an alternative to more traditional coastal developments.
The plot is offered with the option to include a contemporary villa design that emphasises modern architecture and efficient space utilisation. The proposed specifications would typically include quality construction materials appropriate for the Mediterranean climate, with attention to thermal efficiency and durability. The design approach focuses on creating a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces, with large windows and terraced areas to maximise natural light and views. Optional features include solar installations to reduce energy costs, underfloor climate control for year-round comfort, and smart home systems for modern convenience. The level of finish can be adapted according to budget and preference, allowing for personalised details in materials, fixtures, and layout. The certification for single-family homes ensures compliance with local building regulations and standards.
The advertised price of €245,000 serves as a starting point for individual plots. The final cost will vary depending on several factors, including the specific plot selected within the development, the number of plots acquired, and whether a villa design project is included in the purchase. Buyers should budget separately for construction costs, building permits, architect fees, and any additional features such as swimming pools or specialised landscaping. The flexible purchase options allow for investment according to individual requirements and financial capacity.
Daily life in this location would centre around a balance between privacy and accessibility. The plot offers the foundation for a custom home where residents could enjoy the quiet of a low-density development without isolation. Morning routines might include breakfast on a terrace with mountain views, followed by a short walk to local shops for daily necessities. The proximity to Alhaurín de la Torre town centre provides access to larger supermarkets, health services, and educational facilities. The favourable climate supports an outdoor lifestyle, with potential for al fresco dining and garden activities throughout much of the year. The location particularly suits those who value having both the tranquillity of a residential area and the convenience of urban infrastructure within easy reach.
The infrastructure around the plot supports convenient daily living with essential services within close proximity. The town of Alhaurín de la Torre offers comprehensive amenities including 18 restaurants, 9 pharmacies, and 7 banks within a 2km radius. For healthcare, a health centre serves local residents, with the main hospital in Málaga just 6.5km away. Educational facilities are well-represented with 15 primary schools and 5 secondary schools in the area, making the location suitable for families with children. The town maintains a balance between residential areas and commercial zones, with a population of approximately 45,000 people that provides sufficient community services without the congestion of larger urban centres. The transport infrastructure includes 7 bus lines with 41 stops, offering alternatives to private car ownership for local travel.
The map shows the plot's strategic position within Alhaurín de la Torre, situated at the entrance to the Guadalhorce valley on the slopes of the Sierra de Mijas. The location provides a balance between inland living and coastal access, with clear routes to Málaga city, the international airport, and the Costa del Sol beaches.
