This 760,000 m² estate is situated in the Montes de Málaga, offering a high degree of privacy and distance from immediate surroundings. The location is inland at 414 meters altitude, creating a distinct microclimate. Despite the rural setting, the distance to Malaga city and the airport is limited to approximately 17 kilometers. The property comprises several estates and includes already approved project plans for hotel development.
Compared to projects in Mijas (from €490,000) or Fuengirola (Waterfall Residences from €720,000), this property is of a completely different order. The comparison projects are often 'apartments' or 'townhouses' aimed at private use and direct proximity to the beach and shops. This project in Almogía is a 'plot' of unprecedented scale, aimed at commercial exploitation. Where one pays in Mijas for finished luxury and direct sea views, here one buys for expansive space, privacy, and development potential. The price of €3.5M is high in absolute terms, but low per m² when looking at the scale of the estate compared to small plots in coastal towns.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in the municipality of Almogía, in the hills of the Montes de Málaga. The setting is characterized by forests and olive groves. The location is approximately 17 kilometers (as the crow flies) from the coast and Malaga center. The immediate environment is rustic and rural, with little direct construction surrounding the terrain.
Given the dimensions and the presence of project plans, this terrain is primarily geared towards commercial development such as hospitality or tourism, rather than permanent private residence by a single owner. Amenities for daily needs are within walking distance in the village of Almogía (such as supermarket and pharmacy), but for extensive amenities, Malaga city is the designated location.
There is existing construction subject to restoration. Several 'Action Projects' are in preparation. For 'Finca Farfulla', a project is approved for a reception and 36 rooms. For 'Finca Zapateros' and 'La Finquita', permits are in process or restorations are ongoing. There are also options for expansion with another 20 rooms on two separate plots of 100,000 m² each.
The terrain is not 'turn-key' ready for use; investment capital is required for further development and restoration. It is a remote location where mobility depends on private transport. For buyers looking for a immediately habitable villa without obligations, this project does not offer the right functionality.
This project fits investment firms, hotel chains, or private equity funds looking for a 'flagship' location in Andalusia. It is also suitable for private investors wishing to transform a large estate into a luxury retreat center. It is less suitable for people looking for a low-maintenance holiday home or beginners in the real estate market.
The current offering includes renovation properties (including old farmhouses and stone walls) and agricultural buildings. The quality of the finishing is currently basic; the potential lies in the construction of new buildings according to the approved plans. Facilities for electricity and drinking water are present on the terrain.
The asking price is set at €3,500,000. Given the size of the plot (76 hectares) and the presence of official project plans, the price per square meter comes out to a relatively low amount for this region, especially when considering the potential use for hotel development. The pricing targets investors with liquidity for development projects.
This is a place for isolation and scale. With 760,000 m², one has the space to create a complete private ecosystem. The day begins with absolute silence, broken only by bird sounds and the wind in the trees. The current state of the buildings varies from needing renovation to agricultural. Living here means being prepared for self-sufficiency regarding transport; the nearest supermarket is at 73 meters, but for a wide range of goods one travels to Malaga. The altitude ensures cooler evenings in the summer than on the coast.
Almogía has approximately 4,300 inhabitants and a strong local community with an economy based on almonds and olives. There are 4 primary schools and 1 secondary school in the municipality. The environment offers sports facilities. With 3,861 hours of sunshine per year, the climate is generally sunny. Malaga Airport is accessible at approximately 17 km.
This map shows the vastness of 76 hectares and the location relative to Almogía and Malaga. The green surroundings underline the rural character.
Almogía is located in the hinterland of Malaga, strategically positioned between the coast and the interior. It combines the tranquility of the countryside with the proximity of a big city (Malaga). Compared to projects directly on the coast (such as Mijas or Fuengirola), this location offers more privacy and space, but requires more travel time for daily amenities.
Beaches such as Playa de la Malagueta are at a distance of approximately 17 km. The nearest golf course is Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 14 km. A supermarket and pharmacy are in the immediate vicinity (73m and 293m respectively). Accessibility by car is essential; the distance to the airport is approximately 17 km.

The terrain is located at 414 meters above sea level in the Montes de Málaga. This results in an average annual temperature of 17.4°C. The summers are warm, but due to the altitude and mountain wind, the night temperature is often more pleasant than on the coast. The swimming season in the region lasts approximately 4 months.

Although the project is located inland, the beaches of Malaga (Malagueta, San Andrés) are within a 20-minute drive. For recreation on the terrain itself, the surroundings offer opportunities for hiking, horse riding (there are already agricultural buildings for horse breeding) and nature tourism.
