This project involves a spacious townhouse featuring five bedrooms, located in the historic center of Alhaurín el Grande. With a built area of 160 m², the property presents an opportunity for modernization. The location is within an urban environment where essential amenities like supermarkets and pharmacies are within walking distance. The house includes a private terrace and a large roof terrace with views over the village and mountains. The coastline and Málaga Airport are situated approximately 11 km and 17 km away, respectively.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in the historic core of Alhaurín el Grande at an elevation of 224 meters above sea level. Residents benefit from an urban setting with immediate access to local services. The area balances town living with proximity to the mountains. The distance to the Mediterranean Sea is approximately 11 kilometers, offering a transitional zone between inland rural and coastal lifestyles.
With five bedrooms and two bathrooms, this house offers ample space for families or those requiring a home office. The layout includes a fully fitted kitchen and a dining area. Outdoor spaces, including a cave room and roof terrace, provide options for open-air living. Potential buyers should note the requirement for renovation to align the property with modern standards.
This is a resale property offered as-is; there is no new construction development timeline. The structural and technical status is that of an existing dwelling that requires maintenance and updating by the new owner.
The property is listed as requiring renovation, necessitating an investment of time and capital. There is no private on-site parking; residents rely on street parking. While the airport is close (17 km), the 11 km distance to the beach implies reliance on transport for coastal visits. The historic location may involve considerations regarding noise and accessibility typical of a village center.

This property fits buyers looking for a spacious property with character and the scope to implement their own style. The central village location suits those who prefer walking for daily errands. It is relevant for buyers needing more space than an apartment offers but seeking a lower price point than a coastal villa. The renovation requirement also appeals to buyers willing to invest in creating value.
The home is classified as 'Renovation Required'. Basic utilities (electricity, potable water) are connected. The kitchen is fitted but dated. Bathrooms and bedrooms likely require upgrading to modern standards. Distinctive features include a 'cave' storage area and a roof terrace, typical of traditional local architecture. The structural shell exists, but the internal finish requires work.
The asking price for this townhouse is €175,000. Given the volume of space (160 m² and 5 bedrooms), the entry price is lower than coastal equivalents, reflecting the need for refurbishment. This is a single unique listing in the resale market rather than a development with various price tiers.

Alhaurín el Grande is located inland in the province of Málaga. It is one of the white towns (pueblos blancos) situated near the coast. It offers a strategic position between the international airport and the coastline. The town serves as an alternative to the high-paced coastal tourist areas, offering a more local vibe and higher-altitude scenery. Cities like Málaga, Marbella, and Fuengirola are within a 30 to 45-minute drive.
Accessibility is practical. Malaga Airport is approximately 17 km away as the crow flies. The coastal resort areas are about 11 km distant. A car is recommended for reaching the coast and airport, but daily life in the town can be managed on foot. Public transport is robust, with 8 bus lines and 55 stops in the vicinity, connecting the town to Málaga, Coín, and Fuengirola.

Compared to coastal projects in Estepona or Benalmádena, the price per square meter in Alhaurín el Grande is significantly lower. While similar-sized coastal homes often start above €300,000, this property is listed at €175,000. The difference is explained by the 11 km distance to the beach and the renovation required. Projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) offer luxury new build amenities such as community pools but lack the authentic village character and the volume of space (5 bedrooms) this property offers. Alhaurín el Grande provides a traditional Spanish living environment.
