This renovated townhouse is located in the centre of Alhaurín el Grande, an inland Andalusian town roughly 25 km from Málaga and 17 km from Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (straight-line distances). The property offers five bedrooms, two bathrooms and 137 m² of living space, spread over the main house and a separate annex with its own bathroom. Built in 1970 and since renovated, it is key-ready. The asking price is a fixed €269,000. Shops, schools and the bus station are within walking distance, and the beaches of the Fuengirola area lie around 11-12 km away as the crow flies.
At a fixed €269,000, this townhouse sits at an interesting point in the Costa del Sol market. Comparable new-build options include Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. Those projects offer modern construction, contemporary specifications and developer payment structures, but at these entry prices buyers generally receive apartments, smaller units without private gardens of this scale, and typically further from a genuine Spanish town centre. What this property offers instead is quantity of space and a central inland position: five bedrooms across 137 m², a garden with room for a pool, two terraces and an independent annex. For the same budget, the choice is effectively between a new coastal apartment and a larger renovated house in a working Andalusian town. Alhaurín el Grande's market records around 312 transactions per year, modest volume compared with coastal hotspots, which typically signals a more local, less speculative buyer base. Location-wise, the town trades the 11 km distance to the beach for valley positioning between Málaga (25 km) and Marbella (23 km), both straight-line. Median income in the province of €16,450 frames the local economy: agricultural roots, commuting and services rather than tourism. For buyers prioritising space, walkable amenities and integration into Spanish daily life over sea views and new-build guarantees, the proposition differs fundamentally from the coastal alternatives; for buyers focused on rental yield from holiday tourism, the coastal projects hold the structural advantage.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in the urban core of Alhaurín el Grande, at 238 m above sea level in the Guadalhorce valley. A supermarket lies 386 m away and a pharmacy 145 m, with restaurants and cafes within 2 km. Málaga is 25 km away and Marbella 23 km in a straight line. An airport at 17 km and eight public transport lines mean daily life is possible without a car, though one remains convenient.
The layout serves a household needing multiple bedrooms: three upstairs, one on the ground floor and a fifth in the annex with a bathroom and storage room. A living room with dining area, a kitchen with utility room, a ground-floor terrace, a tree-lined garden with room for a pool and a south-facing upper terrace provide the functional outdoor space. An approved extension plan for the master bedroom exists but must be reactivated.
This is not a new-build development but an existing townhouse completed in 1970 and subsequently renovated, available on a key-ready basis. No construction phase or delivery schedule applies. The only planned works are optional: a previously approved project to enlarge the master bedroom with a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom, which would need to be reactivated with the relevant authorities before execution.
The property offers five bedrooms but only two bathrooms in its current state; the en-suite planned upstairs requires the approved extension to be carried out. There is no mention of private parking, a communal pool or sea views. The beach is roughly 11 km away, so this is not a walk-to-the-sea location. Details such as plot size, community fees and annual taxes are not stated in the available data.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family needing five bedrooms near schools will find three upstairs, one downstairs and a fifth in the annex, all within a town where seven primary and three secondary schools operate. Households with older members or limited mobility benefit from the ground-floor bedroom and bathroom combination. Buyers who work from home or receive regular guests can use the annex, bedroom, bathroom and storage room, as an independent unit, separate enough for a professional practice. The approved, non-executed plan to extend the master bedroom suits someone willing to manage a small administrative process in exchange for an en-suite and walk-in closet. The location suits buyers who want genuine Spanish town life with year-round services rather than a seasonal coastal resort. Málaga is 25 km away and the airport 17 km, straight-line, making part-year residence or frequent travel feasible. A car is helpful but not essential for everything, given the walking-distance amenities and eight bus lines. It fits less well for buyers seeking sea views, a private pool already installed, or more than two bathrooms without carrying out works. The 11 km distance to the nearest beach means coastal visits are a short drive rather than a stroll.
The house dates from 1970 and has been renovated since; the available images show a modernised bathroom with a walk-in shower and vanity unit, indicating that at least part of the wet areas has been updated. The utility room off the kitchen, with space for a washing machine and sink, reflects a practical southern-Spanish layout where laundry and cleaning equipment sit outside the main kitchen area. Interior photographs show a bedroom furnished with a desk, pointing to functional room sizes rather than minimal dimensions, and a terrace with outdoor furniture under shade, consistent with the south-facing orientation of the upper terrace described in the property data. The white exterior with conventional windows and entrance door is typical of the town's traditional architecture. No data is available on the heating system, air conditioning, insulation values, window frames or electrical installation, so buyers should verify these during a technical inspection, which is standard practice for properties of this age. The garden offers space for a pool, but installation would be a separate project requiring local permission. The approved extension for the master bedroom has planning consent that only needs reactivation, which reduces administrative uncertainty for that specific work, though costs and timing remain to be established.
The asking price is a fixed €269,000 for the property as it stands, key-ready and renovated. This is a single existing home, not a price-list development, so there is no range of unit types or from-prices. For context, comparable new-build projects in the region currently start at similar levels: Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and both Aquamar in Torre del Mar and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from around €269,000, though those are new constructions on the coast or in coastal towns, whereas this property offers space, an annex and a central town location instead. Additional purchase costs, taxes and notary fees are not included in the stated price.
Daily life here unfolds within an established Andalusian town rather than a coastal resort. The supermarket 386 m away and the pharmacy 145 m from the door make routine errands a matter of minutes on foot. Schools, seven primary and three secondary in the municipality, and the bus station are close by, which shapes the rhythm of the neighbourhood around school runs, market days and evening strolls rather than tourism seasons. Inside, the house divides its 137 m² across two levels plus an annex. The ground floor combines a bedroom, a bathroom, the living-dining area and a kitchen that opens onto a utility room, a terrace and a tree-lined garden with sufficient space to install a pool. This ground-floor bedroom and bathroom arrangement suits households with members who prefer to avoid stairs. The upper floor holds three bedrooms and a south-facing terrace that receives sunshine through the middle of the day. The separate annex, a bedroom with a bathroom and a storage room, can function as guest accommodation, a work-from-home office or a professional practice, giving the property a degree of independence unusual in this segment. With 27,552 inhabitants, the town sustains year-round commerce, a health centre, sports facilities and 34 local public holidays per year that fill the calendar with processions and ferias. The climate, with monthly averages between 13 and 28 °C, supports outdoor use of the garden and terraces for most of the year.
The immediate surroundings are urban and walkable. A pharmacy lies 145 m away and a supermarket 386 m, while within 2 km there are four restaurants, eleven pharmacies and a cafe, a spread typical of a working Spanish town where services cluster around the centre. The health centre and a hospital at 8.9 km cover medical needs, with seven primary and three secondary schools in the municipality for families. Recreation options include the Ciudad Deportiva municipal sports centre 1.1 km away and 26 sports facilities across the town. The Mirador de Sierra Gorda viewpoint, 4.2 km away, offers access to the surrounding countryside. Golfers can reach Lauro Golf at 5.4 km, with Mijas Golf at 9.8 km and Campo Los Olivos at 10 km, all straight-line distances; actual road distances will be longer. An electric-vehicle charging point lies 10 km away, a detail relevant to EV owners planning charging at home. Public transport consists of eight lines with 55 stops, which keeps the town navigable without a private vehicle for many daily trips. With 312 housing transactions per year, the local market is active enough to indicate normal liquidity for resale purposes.
The map shows the property's position in the town centre of Alhaurín el Grande, in the Guadalhorce valley between Málaga (25 km) and Marbella (23 km), both straight-line. The Fuengirola beaches lie 11-12 km to the south and the airport 17 km to the east. Walking-distance amenities, pharmacy at 145 m, supermarket at 386 m, cluster around the centre.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Alhaurín el Grande occupies a middle position in the Costa del Sol region: inland in the Guadalhorce valley, 25 km from Málaga and 23 km from Marbella (straight-line), and 17 km from the airport. This places it within commuting range of both the provincial capital and the western coast, while retaining the character and lower cost levels of an agricultural town. Compared with coastal municipalities, the town trades sea views and beach proximity for space, central amenities and year-round Spanish community life, a positioning reflected in its housing market of around 312 transactions per year.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances and travel times will be longer. The nearest beaches, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, Playa de Torreblanca and Playa de los Boliches, lie 11 to 12 km away on the Fuengirola coast, reachable by car in well under half an hour in normal traffic. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport sits 17 km away, which makes arrivals and departures straightforward for international owners; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at 81 km. Málaga city, with 579,076 inhabitants, is 25 km away and Marbella 23 km, giving access to two of the coast's largest employment, shopping and cultural centres. Within the town itself, the bus station is described as a stone's throw from the property, and eight public transport lines with 55 stops serve the municipality. A car is handy for beach trips, golf and hospital visits, but groceries, pharmacies and schools are manageable on foot. Hospital care is 8.9 km away and golf courses start at 5.4 km with Lauro Golf.

Alhaurín el Grande lies at 238 m elevation in the Guadalhorce valley, inland from the coastal strip. The average annual temperature is 17.9 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 13 °C in the coolest months to 28 °C in summer, a pattern of hot, dry summers and mild winters characteristic of interior Andalusia. Being slightly inland, summer temperatures typically run a degree or two above the immediate coast, while winters remain gentle. The swimming season at the nearby coast lasts about four months, when sea temperatures reach 20 °C or more, roughly June through September. The town's position below the Sierra de Mijas hills gives access to walking country, with the Mirador de Sierra Gorda 4.2 km away as a straight-line distance. The south-facing upper terrace of the house captures sun through the middle of the day, extending the practical outdoor season for meals and drying laundry well beyond the summer months.

No specific Blue Flag designations are stated in the available data, so buyers should verify current flags if that matters to them. Golf is well covered: Lauro Golf lies 5.4 km away, Mijas Golf 9.8 km and Campo Los Olivos 10 km, with Campo Los Lagos at 10.7 km, a cluster of courses within a quarter-hour drive. Closer to home, the Ciudad Deportiva municipal sports centre is 1.1 km away and the town counts 26 sports facilities in total, including options for padel, football and swimming typical of Andalusian towns. For quieter recreation, the Mirador de Sierra Gorda viewpoint at 4.2 km and the surrounding hills offer walking routes. The garden of the property itself has space for a private pool, subject to permission.
