This three-bedroom townhouse occupies a central position within Alhaurín el Grande, a municipality situated inland from the Costa del Sol. The property comprises 144 square metres of living space across the main house and a separate two-storey outbuilding, set on a 132-square-metre plot. Recent renovations have updated the interiors, including a newly installed German kitchen and modernised bathrooms. The elevation of approximately 187 metres above sea level positions the property on the lower slopes of the surrounding landscape, providing views across the valley whilst remaining within the urban footprint of the town.
When compared to developments along the coastal strip, this townhouse represents a different category of property. Arosa in Mijas, starting at €490,000, and Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola, starting at €720,000, are new-build projects positioned within or adjacent to coastal infrastructure. Their pricing reflects proximity to the sea, communal facilities such as pools, and the premium associated with new construction. Astra Homes in Fuengirola, at a starting price of €364,000, is closer to the €349,000 asking price of this townhouse but occupies a coastal location with a different relationship to seasonal demand. The Alhaurín el Grande property does not compete on coastal access or communal amenities. Its distinction lies in the combination of central urban proximity, the privacy of a walled garden, and the flexibility of the outbuilding. The year-round operational status of the town, supported by a permanent population of over 27,000, contrasts with the seasonal rhythms of coastal developments. Buyers choosing between these options are effectively weighing coastal immediacy and new-build warranties against inland stability, larger plot features, and lower per-square-metre costs. The 5.4-kilometre distance to Lauro Golf provides access to the sport without the premium of a golf-front position.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located within the built-up area of Alhaurín el Grande, with a pharmacy at 145 metres and a supermarket at 386 metres. The town has a population of approximately 27,552 residents. The distance to Málaga Airport is 17 kilometres by road. The nearest coastline, including Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, lies at 11 kilometres. This configuration places the dwelling in an inland urban setting rather than a coastal residential development.
The layout provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with one bedroom and bathroom situated on the ground floor. The upper floor contains two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom. A separate outbuilding offers a secondary living space and a large storeroom. The property includes a private garden and a private terrace. These elements correspond to requirements for multi-generational use, guest accommodation, or the separation of living and utility zones within a single plot.
This property is classified as a recently renovated dwelling rather than a new-build development. The renovation encompasses the kitchen, both bathrooms, climate control systems, and glazing. Solar panels and four new inverters for heating and cooling have been installed. There is no ongoing construction phase, no communal facilities under development, and no future build phases to consider. Completion is immediate upon transfer.
The property does not offer a communal swimming pool, private swimming pool, or gymnasium. There is no on-site parking facility or garage. The solar panel system does not include a battery storage unit. The nearest electric vehicle charging point is located at 10 kilometres. The orientation is north-facing, which limits direct sunlight exposure on the primary facade. The property is not located within walking distance of the coastline.
This property corresponds to situations where permanent or near-permanent residency in Spain is the primary objective rather than holiday use. The inland location, proximity to seven primary schools and three secondary schools, and the presence of a health centre within the municipality align with requirements for year-round habitation. The ground-floor bedroom and bathroom accommodate individuals with reduced mobility or those who prefer to avoid stairs regularly. The separate outbuilding suits owners who require a workshop, studio, or guest annexe. Buyers seeking a coastal holiday home within walking distance of beaches will find the 11-kilometre distance to the coast a limiting factor. Those prioritising access to golf facilities will note that Lauro Golf is 5.4 kilometres away, whilst Mijas Golf and Campo Los Olivos are approximately 10 kilometres distant. The absence of a battery in the solar system means that energy independence is partial rather than complete, which may not satisfy buyers whose primary criterion is off-grid capability.
The renovation has introduced specific material and system upgrades. The kitchen is described as a newly installed German unit, which typically denotes modular cabinetry with standardised hardware. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated with modern fittings. The climate control infrastructure consists of four new inverters providing both heating and cooling, distributed across the property. Double glazing has been fitted throughout. The solar panel array on the roof feeds electricity to the main house and the water heater; the absence of a battery means the system operates on a grid-tied basis, reducing consumption costs during daylight hours without providing stored energy for night-time use. The fireplace in the main living area offers an alternative heat source. The outbuilding, whilst structurally intact, retains a functional rather than finished character, with the upper level currently configured as a storeroom. The private garden is defined by natural rock formations, which form the boundary rather than constructed walls or fencing. The overall condition is classified as excellent, though the specification level reflects a residential renovation rather than a luxury fit-out.
The asking price is set at €349,000. Within the context of comparable properties in the broader region, such as Arosa in Mijas starting at €490,000 and Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola starting at €720,000, this townhouse presents a lower entry point. Astra Homes in Fuengirola offers a starting price of €364,000. The price per square metre of living space calculates to approximately €2,424. The median provincial income is €16,450. Furniture is listed as optional, which introduces variability into the total acquisition cost beyond the listed purchase price.
Alhaurín el Grande functions as a self-contained inland town with a permanent resident base rather than a seasonal resort. The location of this townhouse, within walking distance of essential services, supports a daily rhythm oriented around the town itself rather than the coast. Morning routines involve short walks to local shops and pharmacies. The 3,723 annual sunshine hours and average temperature of 18 degrees Celsius allow for outdoor use of the private garden and terrace across most seasons, though the north-facing orientation means direct sun on these spaces is more prevalent at certain times of day. The presence of 26 sports facilities and the Ciudad Deportiva within four kilometres provides structured recreational options. The town hosts two local festivals per year, which alter the usual pace of life temporarily. The separate outbuilding introduces a layer of functional flexibility; the lower level serves as an entertaining space, whilst the upper storeroom addresses practical storage needs. The valley views from the upper bedroom frame the surrounding landscape rather than the sea, reinforcing the inland character of the location. Daily life here is characterised by proximity to neighbours and urban amenities, tempered by the private garden and the natural rock formations that enclose it.
Alhaurín el Grande supports daily life through a network of local services concentrated within a compact urban area. The 55 public transport stops and eight bus lines connect the town to surrounding municipalities, though the nearest train stations, Aljaima and Pizarra, are 7.5 and 9.9 kilometres away respectively. The town contains one health centre, multiple pharmacies, and a range of educational institutions catering to different age groups. The Mirador de Sierra Gorda viewpoint, at 700 metres from the property, provides an elevated vantage point over the valley. Supermarkets and restaurants are accessible on foot from this townhouse, reducing dependence on a vehicle for routine errands. The 312 annual property transactions in the municipality indicate an active but not speculative real estate market. The population of 27,552 sustains a year-round economy, meaning services remain operational outside the summer months. The urban density is sufficient to support convenience without the scale of a coastal tourist hub.
The map displays the inland position of Alhaurín el Grande relative to the Costa del Sol coastline. The property is situated within the urban grid of the town, away from main arterial roads. The proximity to Lauro Golf and the distance to the beaches of Fuengirola are visible in the geographic spread. The surrounding terrain rises towards the Sierra Gorda, reflected in the elevation data.
Alhaurín el Grande occupies a position inland from the coastal strip formed by Fuengirola and Mijas. It is separated from the coastline by approximately 11 kilometres of undulating terrain. Compared to coastal municipalities, the town functions independently of tourism cycles, maintaining services and activity throughout the year. The distance to Málaga city is shorter than to Marbella, orienting the town towards the eastern end of the Costa del Sol in terms of commercial and transport connections. The 73.1-square-kilometre municipal area encompasses both the urban centre and surrounding agricultural and natural landscapes.
The nearest beaches, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal and Playa de Torreblanca, are located at 11 kilometres, with Playa de los Boliches at 12 kilometres. These distances translate to approximately 15 to 20 minutes by car, dependent on traffic. Málaga Airport is 17 kilometres away, reachable in roughly 20 minutes via the A-404 and MA-21 corridors. Lauro Golf, the closest course, is 5.4 kilometres from the property. Mijas Golf and Campo Los Olivos are both approximately 10 kilometres distant. The hospital requiring the longest journey is at 8.9 kilometres. An electric vehicle charging station is available at 10 kilometres, which necessitates advance planning for EV users.

The property sits at an elevation of 187 metres above sea level on terrain that includes natural rock formations within the plot boundary. The average annual temperature is 18 degrees Celsius, with a seasonal range of 10 to 26 degrees. The 3,723 historical sunshine hours place the area among the higher totals in Andalusia. The swimming season, defined by water temperatures reaching or exceeding 20 degrees Celsius, extends to four months along the nearby coast. The inland position means summer temperatures can exceed coastal readings by several degrees, whilst winter nights are marginally cooler due to the elevation. The north-facing orientation of the property means the primary facade receives indirect light for much of the day, with direct sun limited to certain angles and seasons.

The beaches within practical reach are located on the Fuengirola coastline, approximately 11 kilometres to the south. None of the beaches in the immediate vicinity carry a Blue Flag designation in the provided data. Golf facilities are more proximate: Lauro Golf at 5.4 kilometres offers an 18-hole course within a 10-minute drive, whilst Mijas Golf and Campo Los Olivos provide additional options. The Ciudad Deportiva de Alhaurín el Grande, at four kilometres, serves as the primary hub for organised sport, contributing to the 26 facilities recorded in the municipality. Water-based recreation requires a journey to the coast, as the town itself is inland and the local geography does not include natural swimming areas.
