The plot is located inland in Álora, an Andalusian municipality known for its picturesque setting and traditional whitewashed houses. Although it exudes a rural atmosphere, essential amenities are within walking distance, offering a comfortable balance between tranquility and accessibility. The location is a typical example of the Andalusian interior, a short distance from the provincial capital, Málaga.
This piece of land is suitable for buyers who value space and wish to shape their living environment personally.

The proximity of amenities such as a supermarket and pharmacy within walking distance ensures that daily needs can be easily met without extensive travel.
The construction phase of this project is already complete, meaning the land is ready for further development or utilization.

This land plot in Álora is a suitable choice for investors who see potential in rural project development or agri-tourism, given its size and water security. It is equally attractive to individuals dreaming of their own agricultural enterprise, such as an orchard, or those wishing to realize a spacious, private residential project, far from the coastal hustle but still with amenities close by. The combination of two existing homes on the premises (as suggested in the 'existing description', though not in project data) and the abundant water supply also makes it suitable for projects focused on sustainability or agricultural education.
As this is a 'Land' plot, there is no applicable finish level for a dwelling. The focus is on the size of the 7,884 m² plot and its natural characteristics. The 'existing description' does mention the presence of two homes, each with 2 bedrooms, a living room with a kitchen, and a bathroom, including a private swimming pool. These homes are described as bright and spacious. There is also mention of a lemon plantation, indicating an existing agricultural activity with a specific maintenance standard. Water security is emphasized by the mention of three sources: two private wells, a connection to 'Agua del Pantano', and municipal mains water.

This plot in Álora represents a unique offering within the broader region of the Costa del Sol and the inland of Málaga. Compared to coastal areas like Estepona, where projects like 'Acqua Gardens' from €418,800 and 'Aby Upper' from €320,000 are offered, Álora provides a more rural setting and a lower entry price for a significantly larger piece of land. The projects in Estepona and Benalmádena ('Alba Benalmadena' from €699,000) are typically focused on new build apartments or villas, with associated facilities and higher density. This plot in Álora, with its focus on land and space, stands out for its potential for agricultural development or the creation of a very spacious, private home. The immediate proximity of amenities within walking distance in Álora is a significant advantage over more remote estates, while the distance to the airport and coastline is comparable or even better than some coastal projects.
