This country estate is located in Alhaurín el Grande, an inland town in the province of Málaga, approximately 25 kilometres from Málaga city and 23 kilometres from Marbella. The property comprises a main residence of 409 m² with seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, set on a fully fenced plot of 12,074 m² containing olive groves, orchards and vineyards. The house is oriented to the south with mountain and countryside views, and includes a private 5 x 11 metre swimming pool, covered parking for three vehicles, stables and training areas. The building dates from 1970 and is documented as completed. The town's amenities, including a pharmacy 145 metres away and a supermarket within 400 metres, are reachable on foot.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The estate sits within the municipal boundaries of Alhaurín el Grande, at 238 metres above sea level in the Guadalhorce valley. The town centre with its shops, schools and health services lies within walking distance, while the coast at Fuengirola is roughly 11 to 12 kilometres away. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 17 kilometres away in a straight line. The setting is inland and rural rather than coastal.
The property functions as a substantial family residence with seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, including ensuite facilities and a guest house. Outdoor living is centred on two large terraces, two roof terraces, a covered terrace and a private pool. Agricultural features, olive trees, fruit orchards and vines, suit buyers seeking productive land alongside residential use. Equestrian facilities serve horse owners specifically.
This is not a new-build development. The main building was completed in 1970, with the delivery date recorded as indicative. The property is documented as completed and in good condition, with features such as double glazing, air conditioning, a fireplace and a fully fitted kitchen. Solar panels are visible on the property. Buyers should conduct the usual technical due diligence applicable to an older rural building.
The property is sold unfurnished. It is located inland, so it offers no sea view and no walking access to beaches; the nearest coast is roughly 11 kilometres away. The data does not indicate an energy performance certificate, communal facilities, lift access or security staff. As a rural estate bordered by agricultural land, it does not provide an urban residential environment with managed services. Equestrian use depends on the stables and training areas as documented.
This property aligns with several recognisable buyer situations. A large or multi-generational family needing seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, plus a separate guest house, would find the built volume and layout suited to that use. Buyers with equestrian interests benefit directly from the three stables and two training areas, which are uncommon in residential listings in this price segment. Those seeking a smallholding or productive rural holding would use the olive grove, orchard and vines as an active component of the property rather than ornamental planting. Households relocating permanently to the area benefit from the walkable access to a pharmacy, supermarket, schools and a health centre, which reduces dependence on daily car use despite the rural character. Buyers prioritising privacy and space, a fully fenced hectare bordered by 220 trees, over coastal proximity fit the profile, provided the roughly 11-kilometre distance to the beach is acceptable. The property is less obviously suited to buyers wanting a lock-and-leave holiday apartment, a frontline beach location, or a managed resort environment, since it involves land maintenance and agricultural upkeep. Investors comparing against rental-oriented new-build flats should note that the value case here rests on land and equestrian/agricultural assets rather than on tourist rental yield.
The documented condition of the property is described as excellent, with the main building completed in 1970. Interior features include a fully fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes, ensuite bathrooms and double glazing throughout, the latter being relevant both for thermal comfort and for noise reduction in a rural setting. Climate control is addressed through a combination of air conditioning and a fireplace, allowing both mechanical cooling in summer and solid-fuel heating in cooler months. Solar panels are present on the property, as confirmed in the photographic material, which typically serves domestic hot water or supplementary electricity and reduces running costs for a house and pool of this scale. The guest house provides independent accommodation, useful for visitors, staff or rental potential subject to local regulations. Exterior works include two large terraces, two roof terraces, a covered terrace, a 5 x 11 metre pool with an outdoor shower, and covered parking for three vehicles. The plot is fully fenced. As with any building of this age, the documented features should be verified through a technical survey covering structure, electrics, plumbing and pool installations; the database does not include an energy performance certificate, which is a mandatory disclosure item in Spanish property transactions and should be requested from the vendor.
The property is offered at €1,200,000. This is a single, completed residence rather than a phased development, so there is no range of unit types or prices; the stated figure applies to the entire estate including the main house, guest house, pool, stables and the full 12,074 m² plot. Compared with new-build apartments in the wider region, which start from approximately €205,000 to €270,000 in comparable coastal listings, this property occupies a different market segment, where value is driven by land, agricultural assets and built volume rather than by price per square metre of new construction. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard purchase process.
Daily life on this estate combines residential use with the upkeep and enjoyment of just over one hectare of productive land. The main house of 409 m² distributes seven bedrooms and six bathrooms across a layout that includes ensuite bathrooms, fitted wardrobes and a fully fitted kitchen. Living spaces open onto two large terraces and two roof terraces; with the south orientation, these outdoor areas receive sun through most of the day and look out over the surrounding countryside and mountains. The 5 x 11 metre pool sits within the fenced garden, bordered by approximately 220 trees that provide screening from neighbouring land. The plot itself is a working element of the property: roughly 70 olive trees yield around 150 litres of organic olive oil per year, an orchard of about 80 trees produces oranges, lemons, grapefruit and other fruit, and a small vineyard completes the agricultural area. For equestrian use, the property includes three stables and two training areas. Practical errands do not require a long journey, a pharmacy is 145 metres away and a supermarket under 400 metres, both within walking distance, while the town's schools, health centre and sports facilities sit within a two-kilometre radius. The rhythm of the property is therefore seasonal: harvest work in the olive and fruit seasons, pool use during the warmer months, and year-round maintenance of garden, trees and equestrian facilities.
Alhaurín el Grande is a working Andalusian town of approximately 27,500 inhabitants (2025 INE figure), situated in the Guadalhorce valley at 238 metres elevation. Daily life around the estate is anchored in the town itself: within a two-kilometre radius there are restaurants, a café, eleven pharmacies, seven primary schools, three secondary schools and a health centre, and the town records 55 public transport stops across eight lines. The sports centre, Ciudad Deportiva de Alhaurín el Grande, lies about 1.1 kilometres away, and the municipality lists 26 sports facilities in total. Straight-line distances place the coast at 11 to 12 kilometres, the beaches of Torreblanca-Carvajal and Los Boliches among them, meaning a drive of roughly 20 to 25 minutes by road. Málaga Airport is 17 kilometres away as the crow flies, and Málaga city, with its cultural and commercial offering, is about 25 kilometres distant. A car is described as useful but not strictly necessary for everything, since basic amenities are on foot. The town marks 34 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active festival calendar typical of the region's inland communities.
The map shows the estate's position on the northern edge of Alhaurín el Grande, with the town's amenities clustered within walking distance to the south. The straight-line indicators point towards the Fuengirola coastline, roughly 11 kilometres south, Lauro Golf to the southeast and Málaga Airport to the northeast, a placement that captures the essence of inland valley living with coastal access by car.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Alhaurín el Grande occupies a central position in the Guadalhorce valley, roughly equidistant from Málaga city (25 km) and Marbella (23 km), with the coast at Fuengirola about 11 to 12 kilometres south. This placement gives the town inland character with reasonable access to both the provincial capital and the western Costa del Sol. Within the local market, Alhaurín el Grande records 312 property transactions and a municipal population of about 27,500, indicating an active but not resort-driven market. Nearby Alhaurín de la Torre, Coín and Mijas pueblo form the wider residential belt between the coast and the interior.
Key distances, measured in straight lines: beaches at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, Playa de Torreblanca and Playa de los Boliches are 11 to 12 kilometres away.

The area records 3,866 sunshine hours per year historically, with an average annual temperature of 17.9 °C and seasonal averages ranging from about 13 °C to 28 °C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, spans roughly four months; the property's private pool extends usable swimming beyond that window. At 238 metres above sea level on the valley floor, the terrain of the estate itself is workable agricultural land rather than steep hillside, which matters for olive harvesting, orchard care and equestrian use. The inland valley position means hotter summers and cooler winters than the immediate coast, typically by a few degrees. The surrounding countryside, with the Mirador de Sierra Gorda viewpoint 4.2 kilometres away and the Sierra de Mijas rising toward the coast, frames the property's documented mountain, country and panoramic views.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this estate occupies a distinctly different segment from the coastal new-build developments it is often listed alongside. Projects 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) offer modern apartments with communal facilities and frontline or near-frontline positions. At €1,200,000, this property competes not on price per built square metre but on the combination of land, agricultural assets and equestrian infrastructure. Regionally, Alhaurín el Grande and the wider Guadalhorce valley, including Coín, Alhaurín de la Torre and Alhaurín de la Torre Pueblo, form the traditional inland belt where fincas and cortijos predominate. Compared with equivalent rural estates closer to Marbella or Benahavís, land values here are generally lower per hectare, while the trade-off is greater distance from the coast: roughly 11 to 12 kilometres versus the walking-distance beach access of coastal developments. The town's market recorded 312 transactions, a moderate volume indicating steady local demand rather than speculative pressure. For buyers comparing options, the practical distinction is one of lifestyle: coastal apartments offer lock-and-leave convenience, communal pools and managed surroundings, whereas this estate offers autonomy, productive land and space, offset by maintenance obligations and a twenty-minute drive to the sea. Golf access is comparable in both cases, Lauro Golf at 5.4 kilometres is closer than many coastal residences sit to their nearest course. The Mediterranean sunshine that draws international buyers to the coast applies equally inland, with 3,866 annual sunshine hours and a valley climate that runs slightly warmer in summer and cooler in winter than the shoreline.
