This spacious Cortijo, located in Alhaurín el Grande, offers an exceptional opportunity to reside on a 5,523 m² plot. With 450 m² of living space and six bedrooms, this estate is ideal for large families or those looking to continue an established hospitality business. The location combines tranquility with proximity to urban amenities, enabling a unique lifestyle that balances privacy and convenience.
Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens (€418,800) and Aby Upper (€320,000) in Estepona, or Alba Benalmadena (€699,000), this estate in Alhaurín el Grande, starting at €995,500, positions itself in a higher price bracket. This pricing is justified by the substantial plot size (5,523 m²) and built area (450 m²), along with its six bedrooms and five bathrooms. The more rural, yet urban-oriented location in Alhaurín el Grande, with walking-distance amenities and a considerable distance from the coast, differs from the more coastal projects in Estepona and Benalmádena. The potential for business use, such as a bed & breakfast or retreat, is a distinguishing feature that warrants the higher price compared to standard apartments or villas focused on permanent residency or holiday rentals. The quieter environment and large plot offer a different lifestyle than the busier coastal areas.

The property offers significant flexibility for use, including the possibility of continuing an established business, which contributes to its pricing.
Alhaurín el Grande, spanning 73.1 km², is a vibrant municipality with over 27,500 inhabitants.

Proximity to supermarkets (386 m) and pharmacies (145 m) ensures daily convenience, while a hospital is located 8.9 km away and multiple schools are within a 2 km radius. This makes the location suitable for families and seniors seeking a comfortable lifestyle with all necessary amenities within reach.
