This traditional Cortijo estate is located in the municipality of Casabermeja in the Málaga countryside. Featuring a plot of over 880,000 square meters, the property offers significant rural acreage. The residence contains 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms within a living area of 688 square meters. Positioned inland at an altitude of approximately 856 meters above sea level, the site provides an environment distinct from the immediate coastline. The property is accessible via asphalted roads and is equipped with mains electricity and water connections.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in a rural zone outside the urban core of Casabermeja. The surroundings are characterized by mountains and extensive farmland. Distances to daily amenities are substantial; for instance, the nearest supermarket is 5.3 kilometers away. Málaga Airport is 24 kilometers away as the crow flies, though actual driving time is longer due to the rural terrain.
This residence suits individuals valuing maximum distance from neighbors and those engaged in agriculture or equestrian activities. The presence of multiple living areas and a large patio facilitates combining work and living spaces. Existing features, such as the old olive oil mill, offer potential for specific artisanal or agricultural use.
This is an existing dwelling that is functional but dates back to an older construction period. The structure is habitable, but modernization of installations and finishes will likely be required to meet contemporary living standards. The condition of outbuildings, including stables, varies and probably needs renovation for practical use.
Given the plot size and remote location, maintenance of the land and buildings is labor-intensive. Distances to schools, medical specialists, and shops are greater than in urban areas, requiring a high degree of self-sufficiency. Public transport in the immediate vicinity is limited, making a private car essential.

This fits buyers seeking an agricultural project or extensive land around their home. It is relevant for those wishing to start a rural tourism business or an equestrian lifestyle. The location is less suitable for individuals requiring daily presence in Málaga city center or desiring shops and dining within walking distance. One must be willing to perform maintenance and live with the physical distances of the countryside.
The home is functional and habitable but features traditional finishes that may be outdated. Air conditioning is present. Kitchens and sanitary facilities will likely require modernization. The construction is typical for a Spanish Cortijo: masonry with massive walls providing natural cooling in summer. Original elements like the mill add history but require specific maintenance.
The listing price is set at €599,000. Considering the plot size of 88 hectares, value is driven primarily by land acreage and location rather than the finish of the home. Purchase costs such as transfer tax and notary fees apply on top. For an object of this magnitude and location, this represents a unique offering in the region.
Casabermeja sits at an altitude of 856 meters, resulting in a cooler climate than the coast—colder in winter and moderately warmer in summer. Daily rhythm is dictated by the sun and seasons rather than tourist activity. From the property, there are views over the mountains, and on clear days, the sea and the Port of Málaga. The immediate environment is rural, with forests and meadows. While the municipality has public transport stops, driving is necessary for most travel. The airport is accessible within 30-40 minutes, allowing for international connections without living in the coastal bustle.
Casabermeja is a small municipality with over 3,000 inhabitants, offering a social structure akin to village life. The environment supports an active outdoor life. There are 32 local holidays per year, indicating strong community spirit. Basic amenities like a pharmacy (78m) and restaurants are nearby. For extensive shopping and medical care, one relies on Málaga or larger coastal towns.
The map shows the location in the mountains north of Málaga. The area is green and rural. Roads leading to the main A-45 highway are visible. Distances to the coast and airport are short geographically, but routes traverse mountainous terrain.
Casabermeja is located north of Málaga city. It acts as a buffer between the busy coast and the mountainous natural parks. The positioning is unique: living in the mountains with sea and city views.
The location is rural; a car is necessary. The nearest supermarket is 5.3 km away, a few minutes' drive. Hospitals and specialized care are about 17 km away. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 24 km away as the crow flies, convenient for travelers. Beaches like Playa de la Malagueta are about 19 km away, though drive time is longer due to mountain roads.

Compared to coastal projects in Fuengirola or Mijas, the price per square meter here is significantly lower due to the massive land size and rural setting. Where €600,000 buys an apartment on the coast, here one acquires a complete estate. However, the lifestyle differs fundamentally: in Mijas, one lives in a residential area near golf and beaches, whereas here one is in nature. Comparable projects (Arosa, Waterfall Residences) offer modern luxury and communal facilities, which are absent in this traditional estate requiring self-sufficiency.
