This two-bedroom townhouse stands in the centre of Alhaurín el Grande, an inland Andalusian town roughly 25 kilometres from Málaga and 17 kilometres from the airport as the crow flies. The property offers 86 m² of living space arranged over two floors plus a roof terrace with open views across the valley. It is a resale home, originally completed in 1970, currently being repainted throughout and available to view from October 2026. Shops, bars, restaurants and schools are within walking distance, and the asking price is fixed at €190,000, sold fully furnished with air conditioning and double glazing.
Measured against current new-build offerings on the Costa del Sol, this townhouse occupies the value end of the market. Lantana Residencial in Mijas, the nearest comparable in price terms, starts at €205,000 for new construction, while Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) sit €70,000 to €80,000 higher. Those projects offer modern builds, typically with communal pools and parking, in coastal or near-coastal locations, amenities and standards this property does not include. What the buyer obtains instead is centrality: a walkable Andalusian town with a full year-round population, schools, health centre and 55 public transport stops, at a fixed price of €190,000 including furniture. Alhaurín el Grande records roughly 312 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market. Location-wise, the town is a pragmatic compromise: 11 to 12 kilometres from the beaches of Fuengirola's eastern shore, 5.4 kilometres from Lauro Golf and 17 kilometres from Málaga airport in a straight line, coastal access without coastal prices. Median provincial income of €16,450 per year shapes local demand, which supports the rental scenario mentioned in the listing, though rental yields should be verified against actual local rates. Buyers choosing between this property and the coastal new-builds are effectively choosing between a furnished, characterful older home in a living Spanish town and a standardised new apartment near the sea with shared facilities; both profiles have a place in the market, but they serve different priorities and budgets.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house sits in an urban setting in the heart of Alhaurín el Grande, a town of around 27,500 inhabitants at 238 metres above sea level. A supermarket lies 386 metres away and a pharmacy 145 metres, while the coast is roughly 11 kilometres distant in a straight line. Málaga city is about 25 kilometres away and Marbella 23 kilometres.
The layout comprises an open-plan living, kitchen and dining area with a ground-floor bedroom on the ground floor, two double bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor, and a roof terrace reached by spiral staircase from one bedroom. The home is delivered fully furnished with a fitted kitchen, double glazing and air conditioning.
This is not a new-build development. The house dates from 1970 and is a resale property in good condition, currently undergoing a full repaint. It is key-ready, with the stated viewing availability from October 2026. Any completion date is indicative and subject to the completion of the ongoing redecoration works.
The property offers two bedrooms and one bathroom across 86 m², with no garden, pool, private parking or communal facilities listed. There is no lift, and access to the roof terrace is via a spiral staircase. Buyers seeking a pool, off-street parking or a modern energy-efficient construction will not find these here.
This property suits a buyer who wants to live in a genuine Spanish town rather than a coastal resort, at a budget below €200,000. Recognisable situations include: a single person or couple seeking a manageable two-bedroom home within walking distance of all daily amenities; someone who wants a furnished property that can be occupied or let out with minimal additional investment; a buyer prioritising the roof terrace and valley views over a garden or pool; and an investor considering the rental market in a town with steady year-round demand, given roughly 312 housing transactions per year in Alhaurín el Grande. It also fits buyers who value proximity to the coast, the beaches of Torreblanca and Los Boliches lie 11 to 12 kilometres away by air, without paying coastal prices. It fits less well for buyers who need off-street parking, a swimming pool, more than one bathroom, or a modern energy standard. Families with older children will find secondary schools in town; those dependent on frequent airport travel benefit from the 17-kilometre straight-line distance to Málaga-Costa del Sol airport. The ground-floor bedroom adds flexibility for guests or limited mobility, although the bathroom is on the first floor.
The house was completed in 1970 and is classified as a resale in excellent condition, with a full repaint under way at the time of writing. The kitchen is fully fitted with a gas hob, oven and sink, as shown in the listing photographs. Windows are double glazed, which improves insulation and reduces street noise in the town-centre location. Air conditioning units provide cooling and climate control. The bathroom includes a toilet, bidet and washbasin; there is one shower room on the first floor. Utilities are mains electricity and drinkable water. The property is sold fully furnished, which reduces the initial cost of making it habitable. Structural and technical details typical of 1970 construction, wall thickness, insulation values, plumbing and electrical installation dates, are not specified in the available data and should be verified during a viewing or technical survey. The spiral staircase to the roof terrace is a space-saving solution but less convenient for regular use or for occupants with mobility limitations. The roof terrace itself includes a storage box, visible in the photographs. No information is available about community fees, IBI or waste tax; these should be requested separately. Overall, the finishing level is that of a maintained and recently refreshed older home rather than a newly built one, and the asking price reflects that position in the market.
The asking price is fixed at €190,000 for the complete property, sold fully furnished. This concerns an existing resale home, so the price is not a starting point of a price list but the actual asking figure. At 86 m² of living space plus the roof terrace, the property positions itself well below the regional new-build comparables: Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts at €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar at €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000, all of which are new construction from-prices without furniture included. The house can be viewed from October 2026 due to the ongoing repainting; this timing is indicative.
Daily life in this townhouse revolves around the town rather than the coast. The front door opens onto a street in the urban centre, with a pharmacy 145 metres away, a supermarket under 400 metres away, and bars, restaurants and schools within a short walk. The ground floor works as a single living space: kitchen, dining and sitting area flow together, with a bedroom on this level that can serve guests or those who prefer to avoid stairs. The first floor holds two double bedrooms and a shower room; from one of them a spiral staircase climbs to the roof terrace, which offers open views over the valley and the surrounding streets. The terrace functions as the property's main outdoor space, replacing the garden the house does not have. Evenings and weekends centre on the town: local cafés and restaurants within two kilometres number several, and the municipal sports centre Ciudad Deportiva lies 1.1 kilometres away. For shopping, healthcare and administration, everything is in town, with a health centre and 55 public transport stops served by 8 lines. A car is useful for the beach and airport runs but is not required for daily errands. The rhythm here is Spanish and year-round rather than seasonal; Alhaurín el Grande has a permanent population, seven primary schools and three secondary schools, which keeps the town active outside the summer months.
Alhaurín el Grande lies inland in the Guadalhorce valley, at 238 metres elevation, surrounded by orchards and the Sierra de Mijas. The town counts 27,552 inhabitants (2025 INE figure), seven primary schools, three secondary schools and a health centre, giving it a complete, year-round social infrastructure. Within two kilometres of the property there are four restaurants, eleven pharmacies and a café, in addition to the town's wider commercial offer. Distances are straight-line: the nearest supermarket is 386 metres away, the pharmacy 145 metres, and the hospital 8.9 kilometres. Public transport consists of 8 lines with 55 stops, connecting the town within the region. A car is convenient for the coast and the airport but not strictly necessary for daily life. The climate is Mediterranean with continental influence: average monthly temperatures range from 13°C in winter to 28°C in summer, with an annual average of 17.9°C. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, and the swimming season in local waters lasts about four months.
The map shows the property's position in the town centre of Alhaurín el Grande, in the Guadalhorce valley behind the Costa del Sol. The coast lies roughly 11 kilometres to the south as the crow flies, with Málaga and Marbella each about 23 to 25 kilometres away, illustrating the town's central position between coast and countryside.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Alhaurín el Grande occupies a middle position in the province of Málaga: inland in the Guadalhorce valley, equidistant in straight-line terms from Marbella (23 km) and Málaga city (25 km), and 17 km from the airport. This places the town closer to the coast than most inland alternatives while retaining Andalusian town character and lower price levels. Within the Costa del Sol property market it functions as a value option: buyers trade sea views and coastal walkability for space, authenticity and budget, keeping the beaches and the airport within a short drive.
The property's accessibility is one of its practical strengths. Straight-line distances: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal and Playa de Torreblanca at 11 km, Playa de los Boliches at 12 km, Málaga-Costa del Sol airport at 17 km, Marbella at 23 km and Málaga city at 25 km. Actual road distances are longer. Gibraltar airport lies roughly 81 kilometres away. Golfers reach Lauro Golf at 5.4 km, Mijas Golf at 9.8 km and Campo Los Olivos at 10 km. Healthcare is available at the local health centre, with the hospital 8.9 km away. An electric-vehicle charging point is situated 10 km from the house. Within the town itself, everything from schools to shops is walkable, which reduces car dependence considerably compared with coastal or rural alternatives at similar price points.

At 238 metres above sea level on the valley floor, the terrain around the house is gentle in the town itself but rises towards the surrounding sierras, the Mirador de Sierra Gorda viewpoint lies 4.2 km away, a reminder of the walking country on the doorstep. The climate data show average monthly temperatures between 13°C and 28°C, with an annual mean of 17.9°C; summers are hot and dry, winters mild. The sea warms to at least 20°C for about four months per year, so the swimming season runs roughly from June to early October. The valley setting means open, panoramic views from the roof terrace over countryside, mountains and the urban streetscape, with sun exposure on the terrace throughout most of the day. Rainfall is limited and concentrated outside summer, supporting the almond and citrus groves that characterise the local landscape.

Although inland, the property sits within easy reach of the western Costa del Sol beaches: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, Playa de Torreblanca and Playa de los Boliches all lie 11 to 12 kilometres away in a straight line, reachable by car in well under half an hour. Golf features strongly in the surroundings, with Lauro Golf at 5.4 km the nearest of three courses within eleven kilometres. For day-to-day recreation, the town counts 26 sports facilities, including the Ciudad Deportiva at 1.1 km, and the surrounding sierra offers walking and viewpoints such as the Mirador de Sierra Gorda. The combination means beach days, golf rounds and mountain walks are all realistic weekend options without living in a resort environment.
