This key-ready townhouse is situated in Alhaurín de la Torre, a town of some 45,000 inhabitants in the Málaga Metropolitan Area, at the entrance to the Guadalhorce valley on the slopes of the Sierra de Mijas. The property offers 176 m² of living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, distributed over three levels and completed in 2002. The asking price is fixed at €399,000. Daily amenities are within walking distance, with a supermarket roughly 60 metres away and a pharmacy about 62 metres. Málaga Airport lies 5.6 km away as the crow flies, while the nearest beaches are just over 7 km from the door.
Set against current new-build supply on the Costa del Sol, this property occupies a different segment. Comparable new developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) advertise lower entry prices, but these are new-construction apartments or townhouses in early sales phases, often without the plot, garage, basement and turret space this resale home includes. At €399,000 fixed, this property offers 176 m² of immediately habitable space, roughly €2,265 per m², in an established inland town, whereas new-build pricing per m² on the coast frequently runs higher once comparable sizes and extras are matched. Locationally, Alhaurín de la Torre differs from Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona in one key respect: it is inland. That means no beach within walking distance (nearest at about 7.1 km), but also proximity to Málaga city (14 km), the airport (5.6 km straight-line) and the Guadalhorce golf corridor, at price levels generally below prime coastal postcodes in Marbella (33 km) or Estepona. The town recorded 489 housing transactions in the past year, indicating an active but not overheated local market, and the provincial median income of €16,450 places it in a mid-range Andalusian context. For buyers weighing new build against resale, the comparison comes down to warranties and modern specifications on one side, and space, immediacy and location on the other. This property sits firmly in the second category, with the added consideration that a 2002 construction requires a technical survey, a standard step that mitigates the age factor. Against the wider Costa del Sol, the trade on offer here is coastal access exchanged for town life, mountain views and short airport distances.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in an urban, inland setting within Alhaurín de la Torre, where shops, pharmacies and schools are reachable on foot. A supermarket sits about 60 metres away and a pharmacy 62 metres. Málaga city centre is 14 km away in a straight line, and the airport 5.6 km, meaning flight connections are close in direct distance, with road routes somewhat longer.
With 176 m² across three levels, the layout provides a main living floor with open-plan living and dining area and fireplace, two bedrooms upstairs including an en-suite, and a versatile turret room with its own terrace and panoramic views. Air conditioning, fitted wardrobes, a storage room, basement and private garage space cover practical household needs for year-round or part-time residence.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home, completed in 2002 and currently key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. There is no construction phase or delivery waiting period. Any renovation or modernisation would be the buyer's own decision and responsibility, scheduled after completion of the purchase.
The property has two bedrooms rather than three; the turret level functions as an open, flexible space rather than a finished third bedroom. The house is semi-detached, not detached, and located inland, the nearest beach is roughly 7.1 km away as the crow flies. No pool is listed among the property features, and distances to the coast require a short drive or bus journey.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating to the Málaga area for work will value the walkable amenities, the schools within the municipality and the 5.6 km straight-line distance to the airport, useful for commuting or frequent international travel. A household seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home benefits from the fact that everything is on one manageable plot with a garage and storage, and that the town operates fully year-round, including in winter. Buyers wanting space rather than bedrooms may find the 176 m² layout relevant: a couple or small family that works from home can use the turret level as an office with views, while the two formal bedrooms remain private. Golf players are a further fit, with Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at roughly 5.1 km, Lauro Golf at 6.3 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 6.2 km, all reachable in a short drive. The house is less obvious for buyers who want to walk to the beach daily, the coast lies just over 7 km away as the crow flies, or for larger families needing three enclosed bedrooms without converting the open turret space. Those seeking a brand-new build with developer warranties should also note the 2002 completion year and consider an independent technical survey before purchase.
The house was completed in 2002 and presents as a key-ready resale property. From the available information, the specification includes air conditioning, fitted wardrobes in both bedrooms, a fireplace in the living area, a fully equipped kitchen, and an en-suite bathroom in the principal bedroom. Imagery shows a bathroom with an ornate mirror and a dining area with built-in shelving, consistent with a lived-in home with individual finishing choices rather than developer-standard interiors. The three-level structure, living floor, bedroom floor and turret level, is characteristic of the townhouse typology in this area, with the turret providing an additional open room and private terrace with panoramic views over mountains, countryside and the golf course. Practical extras include a basement, a storage room and a private garage space, which together cover parking and seasonal equipment storage. As with any property of this age, buyers are advised to assess the technical condition of systems installed around and after 2002: electrical installation, plumbing, air conditioning units, roof and terrace waterproofing. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent surveyor is standard practice in Spain for resale homes and provides clarity on maintenance needs and remaining lifespan of major components. No energy certificate details or structural reports are stated in the source data, so these should be requested during the purchase process.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €399,000. This is an existing, key-ready home, there is no price list, no tiered unit pricing and no reservation-against-plan stage. The price reflects a completed house of 176 m² with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private garage space, storage room and basement, delivered in 2002. As with any resale transaction, the final purchase price depends on negotiation between buyer and seller, and additional purchase costs (transfer tax, notary and registry fees) apply on top of the asking price. For context, comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona, currently advertise from-prices between roughly €205,000 and €269,950, but those are smaller or differently located new developments rather than like-for-like comparisons.
Daily life here revolves around the rhythm of a functioning Andalusian town rather than a resort. The immediate surroundings are urban with amenities within walking distance: a supermarket roughly 60 metres from the door and a pharmacy 62 metres, which reduces dependence on the car for errands. Within two kilometres there are 18 restaurants, nine pharmacies, seven banks and seven cafés, giving the neighbourhood a settled, year-round character. The town counts 15 primary schools, five secondary schools and a health centre, indicators of a permanent residential community rather than a seasonal one. The house itself supports a layered daily routine. The ground floor concentrates cooking, eating and relaxing around an open-plan living and dining area with a fireplace, opening onto a private terrace and garden. Upstairs, the two bedrooms offer quieter accommodation, with an en-suite bathroom in the principal suite. The turret level, an open space with its own terrace and 360-degree views over golf course, mountains and countryside, can absorb whatever function the household requires: a study, a guest room, a hobby studio. Mornings can begin with mountain views from the top terrace; evenings can end outdoors on the main-floor terrace, sheltered from street noise. The municipality operates seven public transport lines with 41 stops, so trips into Málaga or towards the coast are feasible without a car, although one remains convenient for beaches, golf and airport runs. Sports infrastructure nearby includes Complejo Deportivo Carranque at 0.4 km and a municipal indoor pool at 0.5 km, making regular exercise a matter of a short walk.
Alhaurín de la Torre sits at the entrance to the Guadalhorce valley on the slopes of the Sierra de Mijas, about 17 km from Málaga by road-network reference and 14 km in a straight line. The town has 45,066 registered inhabitants (INE, 2025) and forms part of the Málaga Metropolitan Area, which translates into full urban infrastructure: schools, health centre, banks, and a broad spread of cafés and restaurants within two kilometres of the property. Immediate daily needs are covered on foot, supermarket at 60 metres, pharmacy at 62 metres. Sport is well provided for, with Complejo Deportivo Carranque 0.4 km away, a municipal sports centre at 1.0 km and both an indoor (0.5 km) and open-air (1.2 km) municipal swimming pool. For walks and viewpoints, Pico Palomas lies 3.2 km away, with further miradores at 3.7 and 3.9 km. The setting is inland and residential: quieter than the coastal strip, with mountain views from the upper floors, but dependent on a short drive for the beach. A car is described as convenient but not essential for everything; public transport with seven lines and 41 stops offers an alternative for local and regional trips.
The map shows the property's position in Alhaurín de la Torre, tucked between the Sierra de Mijas slopes and the Guadalhorce valley, with Málaga and its airport to the northeast and the Torremolinos beaches to the southeast. Straight-line distances to golf courses, stations and the coast are marked for orientation.

Within the Costa del Sol, Alhaurín de la Torre occupies an inland position between Málaga city (14 km straight-line) and the Guadalhorce valley towns, with Marbella 33 km away and Algeciras 99 km. This places the property in the metropolitan orbit of Málaga while remaining detached from the coastal tourist strip. The practical effect is a lower-intensity residential environment with full services, quick airport access (5.6 km direct) and beaches within about 7 km. Compared with coastal municipalities, the town trades sea views for mountain views, space and proximity to both the provincial capital and the golf corridor of the Guadalhorce valley.
Distances below are straight-line (as the crow flies); actual road distances and travel times are longer. Beaches: Playa del Lido at 7.1 km and Playa del Bajondillo at 7.2 km, both on the Torremolinos coast, reachable by car or bus. Airport: Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at approximately 5.6 km, one of the nearest airports to any inland residential town in the region; Gibraltar (GIB) lies roughly 91 km away. Golf: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 5.1 km, Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 6.2 km and Lauro Golf at 6.3 km, three courses within a short radius. Healthcare: the nearest hospital is 6.5 km away, complemented by the municipal health centre and a pharmacy 62 metres from the house. Rail: the stations of Campanillas (5.2 km), La Colina (6.3 km) and Aeropuerto (6.5 km) connect to the Cercanías network towards Málaga and Fuengirola. Electric-vehicle charging is available from about 5.1 km, with a Tesla Supercharger in Málaga at 7.1 km. Within the town itself, 41 public transport stops across seven lines support car-free local mobility.

Alhaurín de la Torre stands at 116 metres above sea level on the lower slopes of the Sierra de Mijas, giving the area a gently sloping terrain with mountain backdrops and elevated viewpoints within a few kilometres. The climate is Mediterranean: the average annual temperature is 18.2 °C, and the swimming season, months with sea water at 20 °C or above, lasts about four months, roughly June through September. Inland locations at this elevation typically experience slightly warmer summers and cooler winter nights than the immediate coast, a trade-off for the mountain and countryside views the property enjoys from its turret terrace. The orientation of the main living floor towards the south supports outdoor use of the terrace and garden across a large part of the year, with the fireplace covering the cooler winter evenings. For those who enjoy walking, the nearby miradores at Pico Palomas (3.2 km), Mirador del Lobo (3.7 km) and Mirador del Madroño (3.9 km) offer marked destinations in the sierra landscape that frames daily life here.

The nearest beaches, Playa del Lido and Playa del Bajondillo in Torremolinos, lie 7.1 and 7.2 km away respectively as the crow flies, a short drive or bus ride from the town. Rather than beachfront living, recreation here is organised around golf, sport and hill walking. Three golf courses sit within roughly 6 km: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (5.1 km), Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez (6.2 km) and Lauro Golf (6.3 km). Municipal sports provision is unusually dense: 43 sports facilities are recorded in the municipality, including Complejo Deportivo Carranque at 0.4 km, Polideportivo Municipal Blas Infante at 1.0 km, an indoor municipal pool at 0.5 km and an open-air pool at 1.2 km. Paddle, swimming and gym-based routines can therefore be built into weekly life without leaving the town. The Sierra de Mijas viewpoints within 3–4 km extend recreation into hiking and trail walking, while the coast, with its full range of beach clubs, chiringuitos and water sports, remains close enough for a half-day visit.
