Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is located in Alhaurín el Grande, an urban center with amenities close at hand. Its proximity to the coast, approximately 11 km as the crow flies, and Málaga Airport (17 km) ensure good accessibility, while the immediate surroundings of the villa also offer its own peace and space thanks to the large plot.
This property is suitable for buyers seeking a spacious lifestyle with potential for guest accommodation and recreational use of a large plot. The existing layout with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a guest apartment, offers flexibility for family life or rentals. The need for renovation requires an owner willing to invest in realizing personal living wishes.
The villa is already built ('gereed') and ready for occupancy, although extensive renovation is desirable. This means there are no long waiting times as with new construction projects. The structure of the house is in place, and the focus is on modernizing and adapting the existing spaces and facilities to current standards and personal preferences.
This property requires a complete renovation to unlock its potential, which entails additional investment and time. The villa may not be immediately suitable for buyers seeking a move-in ready modern finish without further work. Although the location is urban, a car is recommended for optimal use of the wider region.
This project is ideal for you if you are looking for a spacious residence with the potential to renovate it entirely to your own taste. The large plot and the layout with a guest apartment make it suitable for families who need ample space, or for investors considering renting out the property after refurbishment. If you value an urban environment with all amenities within reach, but also want to benefit from the proximity to golf courses (Lauro Golf at 5.4 km) and beaches (approx. 11 km as the crow flies), this location is attractive. The villa is a solution for those who want to roll up their sleeves and create a home that perfectly matches their lifestyle, with the opportunity to enjoy the sunny climate of Andalusia.
The property is built with a focus on space and functionality, characteristic of homes in the region. The description mentions a living area of 480 m² with spacious rooms, including three ensuite bedrooms, a lounge with a fireplace, and a fitted kitchen. Additional facilities such as a guest apartment, a casita, and a three-car garage indicate a high level of comfort and amenities. However, the need for a full renovation implies that the current finishes and materials do not meet contemporary standards. The investment will be focused on upgrading the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, installations, and insulation to bring the property up to date.
This detached villa is offered from €495,000. Given the size of the living area (480 m²) and the generous plot (2998 m²), this is a price indication for a property with significant potential after renovation. The villa is currently available, giving buyers the opportunity to acquire the project without long waiting periods. The asking price reflects the current condition of the property, which, while functional, requires a thorough modernization to transform it into a contemporary standard.

Compared to projects on the immediate coast, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) or Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), this villa in Alhaurín el Grande offers a larger scale in terms of living and plot area for the price of €495,000. Coastal projects often provide less land area for a comparable price but offer direct beach access. Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000) is in a higher price bracket and is located closer to the coast and Benalmádena town, which typically justifies a higher price per square meter. Alhaurín el Grande positions itself as an option for those seeking more space and potential, inland but with good connections to coastal facilities, offering an interesting balance between price, space, and quality of life.
