This detached villa is located in Alhaurín el Grande, an inland town in the province of Málaga, approximately 17 km from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport and 23 km from Marbella. The property offers 472 m² of built space on a 531 m² plot, with six bedrooms in total across the main house and an independent guest apartment. The villa was completed in 2000 (indicative) and is documented as finished. Amenities in the town, including a pharmacy 145 m away and a supermarket within 400 m, are reachable on foot, while the nearest beaches lie roughly 11 km to the south. The asking price is €729,000.
Within Alhaurín el Grande, the direct comparable is Vista Del Rey EVIDENT, listed from €769,000, placing this villa at €729,000 slightly below the local benchmark for comparable detached stock. The two differ in character: Vista Del Rey is a development-style offering, whereas this property is a completed 2000 villa with a recently renovated independent apartment, which is a configuration rarely available in new-build formats. Looking towards the coast, Estepona provides lower entry points, Acqua Gardens from €524,600 and Aby Upper from €320,000, but these are typically smaller apartments in resort-style complexes, without private pools, plots or dual-unit layouts. The price difference reflects the fundamental coastal-versus-inland dynamic of the Málaga property market: the same budget buys substantially more built space inland. Alhaurín el Grande's recorded 312 property transactions indicate a functioning resale market, relevant for future liquidity. The town's position in the Guadalhorce valley, 11 km from the beaches of Fuengirola, 17 km from the airport and 25 km from Málaga city, places it closer to the coast than towns further inland such as Coín or Álora, while remaining on the inland side of the price divide. For buyers weighing this villa against coastal apartments, the trade-off is between built volume, privacy and dual-unit flexibility on one hand, and immediate beach proximity and communal resort facilities on the other. For those comparing within the valley itself, the property's six bedrooms across two independent units and its rooftop solarium distinguish it from the standard four-bedroom villa stock of the area, while the modest 531 m² plot is smaller than that of many rural villas further from town, the corollary of being walking distance from a pharmacy and supermarket.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in an urban setting on the edge of Alhaurín el Grande, at 238 m above sea level in the Guadalhorce valley. Daily amenities are within walking distance: a pharmacy at 145 m and a supermarket at 386 m. The coast is approximately 11 km away, the airport 17 km, and Málaga city 25 km. A car is convenient for regional trips but not strictly necessary for daily errands.
The property functions as a spacious family residence with four bedrooms in the main house plus a separate two-bedroom guest apartment that can be accessed independently. Outdoor space includes a private pool, multiple terraces, and a rooftop solarium with jacuzzi. Air conditioning (hot and cold) and central heating are installed. The guest apartment is documented as wheelchair-friendly, which is relevant for multigenerational use.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 2000 (indicative) and the documentation states the guest apartment has been recently fully renovated. The construction status is listed as complete, meaning no waiting period or off-plan phase applies. Purchasers would acquire a finished, immediately habitable property, subject to the usual legal checks on renovations and permits.
The property does not offer sea-front proximity: the nearest beaches are approximately 11 km away. The plot of 531 m² is modest relative to the 472 m² built surface, limiting extensive garden space. It is a resale villa rather than new-build, so no developer guarantees or contemporary energy certification standards apply automatically. No beach, marina, or communal resort facilities are included; the pool and terraces are private.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A family needing four bedrooms plus space for relatives may value the independent guest apartment, which allows separate living arrangements while remaining connected to the main house. Buyers who regularly host visiting friends or family gain two dedicated guest rooms without disrupting the main household. Those seeking rental income could let the apartment separately, subject to local licensing rules, although income figures are not part of the available data. Households with a member who has reduced mobility may note the apartment's documented wheelchair-friendly layout. Purchasers wanting immediate occupancy rather than an off-plan waiting period fit the completed status. The inland setting suits buyers who prefer a Spanish town environment with year-round services, schools, health centre, pharmacies within walking distance, over a coastal resort atmosphere. It is less suitable for those whose priority is daily beach access, given the 11 km distance, or for buyers wanting extensive grounds, since the 531 m² plot is compact relative to the built surface. The configuration with undeveloped lower-level space of 123 m² appeals to buyers prepared to invest in adaptation, whether for a workshop, gym or additional rooms, subject to permits. Buyers reliant on public transport will find 8 bus lines and 55 stops in the municipality, though regional mobility is easier with a car.
The villa dates from 2000 (indicative) and is listed in excellent condition, with the guest apartment recently fully renovated to a modern standard. Climate control is present in multiple forms: air conditioning units providing both hot and cold air, alongside central heating, a combination relevant in an inland valley where winter temperatures are lower than on the coast. Interior features documented include fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and a covered terrace adjoining the living areas. The property imagery shows a furnished villa with a pool, hot tub and terrace areas oriented towards valley and mountain views. The rooftop solarium with jacuzzi is a distinct element, accessed separately from the main living levels. The 123 m² beneath the guest apartment is unfinished volume, offering capacity for customisation; its final use depends on building permits and structural assessment, which a surveyor should confirm. As a resale property completed in 2000, the villa predates the energy-efficiency standards applied to current new-builds; no energy label is stated in the available data, and obtaining an energy performance certificate would form part of the standard purchase process. Purchasers are advised to verify the legalisation of the guest apartment and any renovations through notarial and cadastral checks, a standard step for properties with multiple independent units in Andalusia. Documentation of the pool, jacuzzi and heating systems should likewise be reviewed for compliance and service history.
The asking price is €729,000. At 472 m² of built area, this equates to approximately €1,545 per m², with a plot of 531 m². Within Alhaurín el Grande itself, the comparable project Vista Del Rey EVIDENT is listed from €769,000, positioning this villa slightly below that benchmark. Coastal alternatives in Estepona such as Acqua Gardens (from €524,600) and Aby Upper (from €320,000) are cheaper but differ in type, location and plot size. The property includes six bedrooms across two independent units, a private pool and a rooftop jacuzzi. Availability is immediate, as the property is completed. Transaction costs, notary fees and taxes are additional to the stated price.
The villa sits in an established urbanisation bordering Alhaurín el Grande, a working Andalusian town of roughly 27,500 inhabitants in the Guadalhorce valley. Daily life here is town-based rather than resort-based: the pharmacy is 145 metres away, the supermarket under 400 metres, and the town centre with its restaurants, shops and schools is a short walk or drive. The municipality counts seven primary schools and three secondary schools, plus a health centre, which supports year-round living rather than purely seasonal use. The house itself is arranged across multiple levels. The main house contains four bedrooms, a living room and kitchen; below it sits an independent two-bedroom apartment, recently renovated and wheelchair-friendly, accessible both internally and from the terrace. Beneath that, a further 123 m² of space remains undeveloped and adaptable. Outdoor living is structured around the private pool, surrounding terraces and a rooftop solarium with jacuzzi overlooking the valley. With 3,866 recorded sunshine hours per year and a mean temperature of 17.9°C, these exterior spaces are usable for most of the year. Golf and padel facilities are within walking distance, and the town's sports infrastructure counts 26 facilities, including the Ciudad Deportiva 1.1 km away. The rhythm of the area is inland Andalusian: quieter than the coast, with local festivities throughout the year and a resident population rather than a transient tourist flow. Beaches at Fuengirola and Los Boliches are roughly 11 to 12 km south, reachable in about twenty minutes by car, making coastal outings a deliberate trip rather than a daily routine.
Daily life around the property is shaped by its position between town and countryside. The urbanisation adjoins Alhaurín el Grande, placing a pharmacy at 145 m and a supermarket at 386 m within an easy walk. The town centre, with its restaurants, cafés and shops, sits a short distance away; within a 2 km radius the documented offering includes four restaurants, eleven pharmacies and a café, alongside the town's wider commercial fabric. The municipality operates 8 public transport lines with 55 stops, providing connectivity within the town and towards the coast, though a car remains the practical choice for regional travel. Health services include a local health centre, with the nearest hospital documented at 8.9 km. Educational provision comprises seven primary schools and three secondary schools. For recreation, 26 sports facilities are recorded in the municipality, including the Ciudad Deportiva 1.1 km away; golf and padel are within walking distance, with Lauro Golf at 5.4 km. The setting is documented as combining town, country and mountain pueblo characteristics, with forest nearby and the Mirador de Sierra Gorda viewpoint 4.2 km away. Traffic in inland Alhaurín el Grande is generally lighter than on the coastal corridor, and the atmosphere remains resident-oriented year-round rather than seasonal.
The map shows the villa's position on the edge of Alhaurín el Grande, in the Guadalhorce valley behind the Málaga coast. The proximity of the town's amenities, the road connections south to Fuengirola's beaches and north to the airport and Málaga city, and the golf courses to the southwest are all visible in the surrounding geography, the essence of Andalusian inland living within easy reach of the Mediterranean.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Alhaurín el Grande occupies a central position in the Guadalhorce valley, equidistant in practice from the coast (11 km) and the region's two main cities: Marbella at 23 km and Málaga at 25 km. This triangle gives residents access to both the western Costa del Sol resort economy and the provincial capital's cultural and commercial offering, while living at inland property price levels. The town's 27,552 inhabitants (2025) and 312 recorded property transactions indicate an active, stable local market rather than a speculative one. Neighbouring municipalities such as Alhaurín de la Torre and Coín share this valley profile.

Alhaurín el Grande lies at 238 m above sea level in the Guadalhorce valley, inland from the coastal strip. The recorded climate data show a mean annual temperature of 17.9°C with a range of 13, 28°C across the year, and 3,866 sunshine hours annually, figures consistent with inland Andalusia, where summers are warmer and winters cooler than on the immediate coast. Central heating plus hot-air air conditioning, both installed in this villa, correspond to that pattern. The swimming season in sea water at this latitude is documented at approximately four months with temperatures of 20°C or above; the villa's private pool extends that window for daily use, since pool use is not tied to sea temperatures. The terrain slopes gently within the valley; the urbanisation sits at sufficient elevation for the documented mountain and country views. Nearby natural features include forest areas and the Mirador de Sierra Gorda at 4.2 km, offering walking routes without needing the coastal corridor.

The nearest Blue Flag coastal stretch begins around 11 km to the south, with Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal and Playa de Torreblanca the closest options, followed by Playa de los Boliches at 12 km in Fuengirola. These are family-oriented urban beaches with chiringuitos and promenades, reachable in roughly twenty minutes by car. Recreation closer to home is golf- and sport-centred: Lauro Golf at 5.4 km is the nearest course, with Mijas Golf at 9.8 km and Campo Los Olivos at 10 km providing additional options; Campo Los Lagos lies at 10.7 km. Within the municipality, 26 sports facilities are documented, including the Ciudad Deportiva de Alhaurín el Grande 1.1 km from the property, and padel courts within walking distance per the property documentation. The villa's own recreation provision, private pool, rooftop jacuzzi and multiple terraces, operates independently of season and opening hours, which is a practical consideration given the inland location.
