This plot of 3,442 m² is located in the municipality of Álora, within the Guadalhorce region. The terrain has an agricultural designation and offers a panoramic view of the surroundings. The location is inland, situated at an elevation of approximately 199 meters above sea level. The plot is fully fenced and features a large variety of olive trees, characterizing it as classic 'cortijo' land with opportunities for agricultural use.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located approximately 27 kilometers (as the crow flies) from the coastline of the Costa del Sol, specifically near Torremolinos. The setting is inland yet urban: a supermarket is found at a distance of 204 meters and a pharmacy at 276 meters. This places the plot in a residential area where basic amenities are directly accessible.
For buyers seeking autonomy and space, this plot provides the physical room for personal agriculture or small-scale husbandry. The presence of a clear section of land without trees offers the technical possibility for placing a mobile home or temporary accommodation, subject to local regulations regarding rural land.
As this is a plot without an existing residential structure, there is no construction phase or handover date for a property. The status is 'ready', meaning the land is immediately available for use. Any construction would require a separate application and permitting process through the Álora town hall.
This project does not offer traditional residential amenities such as bedrooms, bathrooms, or a kitchen. There is no swimming pool, and the plot is not seaside. The distance to the airport is 24 kilometers (as the crow flies), but the terrain is primarily agricultural in nature and not connected to the urban sewage network.
This plot suits individuals looking for an investment in land with an agricultural designation, such as for olive cultivation. It is also suitable for individuals seeking space for a mobile home or tiny house, provided they are aware of the legal restrictions for permanent habitation in this specific zoning plan. The situation is also fitting for those already residing in the region and seeking to expand their agricultural land. The proximity to the Las Mellizas train station (5.5 km away) makes it accessible for those not wishing to be daily dependent on a car, though a vehicle is practical for transporting goods.
Since this is a plot, there is no interior finish to speak of. The quality of the land is evident from the presence of the olive trees, indicating fertile soil. The plot is fully fenced, securing the physical boundary against surrounding parcels. There is an electricity connection and access to non-potable water for irrigation, which benefits the functional utility of the terrain.
The asking price for this plot is set at €39,900. There is no variation in property types, as it concerns a single parcel. The pricing is exclusive of transaction costs, taxes, and notary fees associated with purchasing real estate in Spain.
The daily reality of this plot is defined by the tranquility of the Andalusian hinterland. With over 3,400 square meters, there is a significant degree of privacy. The presence of 90 olive trees implies a need for maintenance, yet offers direct access to the local harvest culture. The hilltop location ensures constant ventilation and views of the mountain ranges, somewhat mitigating summer heat. For those looking to escape the bustle of the coast, this offers the potential for an agrarian lifestyle with the freedom to live off the beaten path.
The surroundings of Álora are historical and rural in character. With over 3,800 hours of sunshine per year, the climate is a major factor in daily life. The immediate environment offers sports facilities such as the local sports center at 1 km and a public pool at 300 meters. The presence of multiple sports facilities (30 in the wider region) points to an active community. The proximity to the El Chorro natural area makes the environment attractive for hikers and nature lovers.
The map displays the location of the plot relative to road connections leading to the coast and the hinterland. White areas indicate the urban development of Álora, while green zones denote the agricultural area.
Álora acts as a gateway to the interior of the province of Malaga. The project lies in the Guadalhorce valley, an area known for its citrus and olive cultivation. The position is notable in that it is a short distance (24 km) from the international airport while retaining the quiet character of a white village. It is one of the larger towns in this part of the region, ensuring a more complete level of amenities than smaller mountain villages.
The plot is accessed via local roads. The distance to the nearest beaches (Playa de San Andrés) is approximately 27 kilometers (as the crow flies), implying a drive to the sea of roughly 30 to 40 minutes. Malaga Airport is reachable at 24 kilometers (as the crow flies). For daily groceries, a supermarket is available at just 204 meters walking distance. Public transport accessibility is possible via the Álora station (700 meters), offering connections to Malaga and other cities.

Compared to coastal projects, such as Arosa in Mijas or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola, the purchase price of this plot in Álora is significantly lower. While on the coast one often pays more than €400,000 for an apartment, this project offers land and autonomy for a price of €39,900. The lifestyle differs fundamentally: the coast focuses on sea, tourism, and marinas, whereas Álora offers a traditional, inland lifestyle centered on agriculture and community. For those willing to compromise on direct beach access, this location provides a larger surface area and more privacy for a fraction of the price of seaside real estate.
