This is a reformed three-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouse of 110 m² built on a 67 m² plot, set in the historic old town of Alhaurín el Grande, an inland town of approximately 27,500 inhabitants in the Málaga province. Originally constructed in 1970, the property has recently undergone a full renovation of its plumbing and electrical installations and is arranged over three floors, each with its own bathroom. The asking price is €250,000. The town lies roughly 17 km from Málaga Airport and about 11 km from the nearest beaches of the Costa del Sol, placing it within easy reach of both the coast and the provincial capital.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in a quiet cul-de-sac within the old town of Alhaurín el Grande, at 238 m above sea level in the Guadalhorce valley. Shops, a pharmacy 145 m away and a supermarket 386 m away are within walking distance. The A-404 and nearby AP-7 provide road connections to Fuengirola, Málaga and Marbella. Málaga Airport is 17 km away in a straight line.
The house offers three double bedrooms and three bathrooms across three levels, an open-plan living and dining area, a fully fitted kitchen, a 30 m² elevated wooden terrace and a lower patio with space for a hot tub. A car is useful for reaching the coast and airport but not essential for daily errands, as key amenities are on foot. Street parking is available.
This is not a new-build development. The house dates from 1970 (indicative) and has recently been renovated and refurbished, with completely renewed plumbing and electrics, double glazing and a new terrace. Final works by the builders were expected to be completed in early autumn, so the property is effectively in ready-to-occupy condition.
The property has no private pool, no garage and no communal facilities; parking is on the street. The plot is small at 67 m², and the lower bedroom is built into natural rock with rustic stone walls, which limits natural light at that level. There is no air conditioning listed, no energy certificate stated, and the house is part-furnished only.

This property fits several recognisable situations. It suits buyers seeking a fully reformed, move-in-ready house at a lower price than comparable coastal stock, who accept an inland location in exchange for budget and authenticity. It works for permanent residents: the town has schools, a health centre, supermarkets and 55 public transport stops across 8 lines, so full-time living without a car for daily needs is feasible. It also suits those wanting a character property, the rock-built lower bedroom, salvaged stone flower bed and old-town setting distinguish it from modern apartment blocks. It is less suitable for buyers who want a pool, private parking or sea views from the terrace, none of which the property provides. Buyers who need to be within a short walk of the beach should note the 11, 12 km distance, roughly a 15, 20 minute drive. The three-bathroom layout, with one per floor, makes the house workable for guests or for multi-generational use. Retirees who want a walkable town with a year-round community, and who drive occasionally to the coast, golf courses (Lauro Golf at 5.4 km) or Málaga airport (17 km), will find the logistics straightforward.
The renovation is recent and documented at installation level: all plumbing and electrical systems have been completely renewed, which removes two of the most common cost items in older Andalusian townhouses. The main bathroom includes a bath, separate shower, WC and vanity units, indicating a full-specification fit-out rather than a cosmetic refresh. The kitchen is fully fitted with contemporary units, wooden worktops and electric appliances, including a washing machine and fridge freezer. Double glazing is fitted throughout, including in the rock-built lower bedroom, relevant both for thermal comfort and for street-noise reduction in an old-town setting. The property is part furnished, with a double bed noted in the lower bedroom. Materials lean towards traditional character: rustic stone walls in the basement level, salvaged original stones reused in a raised flower bed, and wooden steps and terrace decking. Points to verify independently during due diligence: the absence of a stated energy performance certificate, whether air conditioning is installed, the thermal behaviour of the rock-walled lower level in winter, and the exact scope and sign-off of the remaining builder works. The house dates from 1970 (indicative), so the structural fabric is of that era; the renovation covers installations and finishes rather than the shell.
The asking price is €250,000 for the whole property, which works out at approximately €2,270 per m² of built area. Within the surrounding region, this sits below new-build comparables such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), and above Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000). As a completed, recently reformed resale property, there is no phased release or off-plan payment structure; availability is immediate, subject to the final completion of the builders' remaining works. Purchase costs (transfer tax, notary, registry) are additional.
Daily life here revolves around the rhythm of a working Andalusian market town rather than a coastal resort. The house is in a cul-de-sac in the old town, which means narrow streets, neighbours at close quarters and a short walk to bakeries, bars, the pharmacy 145 m away and a supermarket under 400 m away. Mornings can begin on the elevated wooden terrace behind the kitchen, which catches views over the rooftops; the lower patio, partly sheltered under the terrace, is a shaded spot in the afternoon heat. Inside, the house is arranged vertically: living level with a full bathroom, upper floor with two double bedrooms and a shower room, and a lower level where the third bedroom is set into the natural rock, cool in summer, characterful, and fitted with double glazing and its own shower room. Alhaurín el Grande has seven primary schools, three secondary schools, a health centre and 26 sports facilities including the Ciudad Deportiva 1.1 km away, so the town functions year-round rather than only in tourist season. With roughly 3,866 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 17.9°C, outdoor living on the terrace and patio is realistic for much of the year. The trade-off of the inland position is distance from the sea, the nearest beaches at Torreblanca and Los Boliches are 11, 12 km away, while the benefit is a lower price point and a genuinely Spanish urban environment.
Alhaurín el Grande sits in the Guadalhorce valley at 238 m elevation, roughly midway between the coast and Málaga city. With 27,552 inhabitants (2025, INE), it is large enough to sustain a full urban fabric: 11 pharmacies within a 2 km radius, seven primary schools, three secondary schools, a health centre, and a sports city 1.1 km from the property. The immediate street scene is typical of the old town, narrow streets, whitewashed buildings and small planters, with the cul-de-sac position reducing through traffic. The town records 34 local public holidays a year, reflecting an active festival calendar, and property transactions in the municipality totalled 312, indicating a functioning resale market rather than a dormant one. For outdoor life beyond the town, Mirador de Sierra Gorda lies 4.2 km away and Lauro Golf 5.4 km. A car is convenient for the beach, airport and Marbella, but groceries, schools and healthcare are reachable on foot.
The map shows the property's position within the old town street grid of Alhaurín el Grande, in the Guadalhorce valley between the Sierra de Mijas and Málaga city. The coastline around Fuengirola lies roughly 11 km to the south-east, with Málaga Airport a short drive beyond, connecting the inland town to the wider Costa del Sol.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Alhaurín el Grande occupies a middle position in the western Costa del Sol hinterland: inland of Fuengirola and Mijas, west of Málaga city (25 km) and north-east of Marbella (23 km). This gives residents access to three different urban economies, Málaga's cultural and employment market, Marbella's leisure coast, and the coastal towns of Fuengirola and Benalmádena, typically within 30, 40 minutes by car. Compared with coastal municipalities, the town's property prices are lower, its pace is less seasonal, and its identity is overwhelmingly Spanish rather than international-residential.
Key distances: pharmacy 145 m, supermarket 386 m, health centre in town, hospital 8.9 km. Beaches at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal and Playa de Torreblanca are 11 km straight-line, with Playa de los Boliches at 12 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 17 km, Marbella 23 km and Málaga city 25 km. Golf options include Lauro Golf (5.4 km), Mijas Golf (9.8 km) and Campo Los Olivos (10 km). Public transport covers 8 lines with 55 stops. The nearest EV charging point is 10 km away, a consideration for electric-vehicle owners.

The climate data points to a warm Mediterranean-inland profile: a mean annual temperature of 17.9°C, an average range of 13, 28°C, and approximately 3,866 sunshine hours per year, well above northern European averages. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or more, runs about four months, which matters because the sea is a 11 km drive away rather than on the doorstep. Elevation of 238 m gives slightly cooler nights than the coast in summer and mild winters. The house is vertical over three floors with external wooden stairs to the terrace, so there is a moderate gradient in daily movement; the lower rock-built level naturally stays cooler in summer.

The nearest Blue Flag-candidate coastal stretch is the Fuengirola, Torreblanca area, 11, 12 km away by road, offering conventional beach facilities and chiringuitos. Golf is closer than the sea: Lauro Golf at 5.4 km is the most accessible course, set in the surrounding hills, with Mijas Golf and Campo Los Olivos within 10 km. In town, the Ciudad Deportiva (1.1 km) provides municipal sports facilities among 26 in the municipality. Hiking and viewpoints are inland features, Mirador de Sierra Gorda at 4.2 km, and the Sierra de Mijas and Guadalhorce valley landscapes frame the town. Recreation here leans towards rural and golf-based rather than beach-based daily life.

Against regional comparables, this property occupies the value end of the market for reformed three-bedroom houses. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000, both new-build coastal schemes with communal facilities and sea proximity. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts lower, at €205,000, but in a different location class closer to the coast. At €250,000 for 110 m² with three bathrooms in a fully reformed state, this townhouse competes on completeness (new installations, fitted kitchen, terrace) rather than on location or amenities. Buyers comparing inland versus coastal should weigh the trade explicitly: the €2,270/m² rate here is below typical new-build coastal pricing, but there is no pool, garage, sea view or residents' association. Alhaurín el Grande itself is one of the larger Guadalhorce valley towns, more working-market-town than expatriate residential hub, a contrast with Mijas Pueblo or Benahavís. For buyers whose priority is year-round walkable town living with occasional coastal trips, the value case is clear; for those whose priority is daily beach access or resort facilities, the coastal comparables at €269,000 remain the relevant benchmark.
