This new development comprises six contemporary villas in the Santa Catalina Urbanization of Antequera. Located in the established Mirador de las Arquillas area, the project offers three-bedroom residences with private swimming pools and parking facilities. The properties are under construction with completion scheduled for September 2027. Each villa includes a fully equipped kitchen and aerothermal climate control system with heat pump technology. The development benefits from its position in Antequera, known as the heart of Andalusia due to its central location between Málaga, Granada, Córdoba, and Seville.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development is situated within walking distance of Antequera's historic centre and local amenities. At 537 metres above sea level, the location provides a continental Mediterranean climate distinct from coastal areas. The proximity to the AVE high-speed train station (1.4 km) offers excellent connectivity to major Andalusian cities. The project's inland position places it approximately 38 kilometres from Málaga Airport and the Mediterranean coastline.
Each villa provides three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, accommodating families or those requiring additional space. The private outdoor areas with swimming pools address the desire for personal recreational space. The included laundry facilities and storage options support practical daily living requirements. Private parking resolves vehicle security concerns, while the fully equipped kitchen eliminates immediate renovation necessities. The proximity to essential services supports convenient residential life.
Currently under construction with scheduled delivery in September 2027, this development represents an opportunity to acquire a newly built property. The project consists of only six units, suggesting a limited availability timeline. The inclusion of modern specifications such as aerothermal climate control systems indicates contemporary building standards. The construction phase allows for potential customisation before completion, subject to builder's policies and construction progress.
The development does not offer sea views due to its inland location. The absence of communal facilities beyond private villas means residents seeking shared amenities would need to utilise public alternatives. The distance of 34-36 kilometres to beaches necessitates transportation for coastal visits. The project does not include furniture, requiring additional investment for furnished occupation. The limited number of units (six) may restrict availability for interested parties.
This development would suit those seeking a permanent residence in inland Andalusia with good connections to major cities. It could appeal to professionals working remotely but requiring access to urban centres via the AVE train network. The property size and configuration would accommodate families with children or those requiring space for home offices. The inclusion of private pools and outdoor areas would attract those prioritising privacy in leisure activities. For investors, the limited number of units and modern specifications may offer potential in Antequera's developing property market. The location would particularly suit those appreciating historical surroundings while desiring contemporary housing. The completion date of September 2027 would align with buyers planning relocation within a three-year timeframe. Those seeking a balance between rural living and urban accessibility would find this position advantageous.
The development includes modern specifications focused on energy efficiency and comfort. Each villa features an aerothermal climate control system with heat pump technology, providing year-round thermal comfort while reducing energy consumption. The properties incorporate private swimming pools within individual outdoor spaces, constructed using standard residential pool systems. Interior specifications include fully equipped kitchens with contemporary fittings and fixtures. Bathrooms feature marble elements, indicating standard mid-range finishing materials. The construction employs modern building techniques typical of new Spanish developments, with attention to thermal insulation and energy efficiency standards. Private parking facilities provide secure vehicle storage, while the inclusion of laundry areas addresses practical living requirements. The gated complex with entry phone systems contributes to residential security, while the separate guest toilets in each property provide additional functional space for visitors.
The pricing structure of this development starts from €379,000 for properties with 162-169m² of built space. This represents the base cost before VAT (10%), notary fees, and registration expenses. The price includes a fully equipped kitchen and aerothermal climate control system with heat pump technology. With only six units available in the development, the limited availability may affect market dynamics. The price point positions this development competitively within Antequera's property market, particularly for new construction with modern energy efficiency features. Prospective buyers should budget approximately 10-15% above the advertised price to cover all associated purchase costs including taxes and legal fees.
Daily life in this development would blend residential convenience with access to Antequera's cultural heritage. Mornings might begin with breakfast on the private terrace before a short walk to the town's historic centre. The location offers practical amenities within reach – pharmacies and supermarkets are within metres, while restaurants and cafes provide local dining options. The elevation of 537 metres above sea level creates a distinctive climate with warmer summers and cooler winters than coastal areas, potentially requiring adaptation in seasonal routines. The private swimming pools offer leisure opportunities without the need to travel, though beach access would require planning for day trips to the Costa del Sol. The presence of sports facilities within walking distance supports regular physical activity. The AVE train station's proximity enables feasible day trips to major Andalusian cities, expanding lifestyle possibilities beyond the immediate surroundings.
The immediate environment combines residential convenience with access to Antequera's historical centre. Essential services are within walking distance, with pharmacies at 27 metres and supermarkets at 17 metres from the properties. Restaurants, banks, and cafes are plentiful within the local area, supporting daily requirements without vehicle use. Healthcare facilities include two health centres and a hospital 3.2 kilometres away, providing accessible medical services. Educational infrastructure consists of 15 primary schools and 12 secondary schools, suitable for families with children. The AVE high-speed train station 1.4 kilometres away enables direct connections to Málaga (25 minutes), Madrid (2 hours 15 minutes), and other major Spanish cities. The location offers a balance between inland living and coastal access, with beaches approximately 35 kilometres away for occasional visits.
The map shows this development's strategic position in central Andalusia, surrounded by the region's major cities. The inland location provides access to both Mediterranean beaches and mountainous terrain within a short distance. The proximity to the AVE train network positions it as a potentially convenient base for exploring Andalusia's cultural heritage, from the Alhambra in Granada to the Mezquita in Córdoba, all accessible within two hours by train or car.
Antequera's position in central Andalusia places it approximately 45 kilometres north of Málaga city. The town serves as a strategic point between four major Andalusian cities: Málaga, Granada, Córdoba, and Seville. The development is situated within the urban area of Antequera, benefiting from the town's established infrastructure while maintaining access to rural surroundings. The proximity to the A-45 motorway provides direct connections to Málaga (45 minutes) and Córdoba (1 hour 15 minutes). The location offers a balance between inland living and coastal access, with the Costa del Sol beaches within reasonable reach for occasional visits while avoiding the density and tourist pressure of coastal areas.
The nearest beaches, including Playa de Valdearenas at 34 kilometres and Playa de la Malagueta at 35 kilometres, are accessible within 40-45 minutes by car. Málaga Airport, located 38 kilometres away, can be reached in approximately 40 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Golf facilities are available at Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (35 kilometres), Lauro Golf (41 kilometres), and Club de Golf Málaga Parador (41 kilometres), all within 45-50 minutes by car. Antequera city centre is within a 10-minute walk, providing access to historical sites and urban amenities. The AVE high-speed train station at 1.4 kilometres offers connections to major Spanish cities including Málaga (25 minutes), Córdoba (35 minutes), and Madrid (2 hours 15 minutes). EV charging points are available at ALDI Antequera, 0.8 kilometres from the development.

Situated at 537 metres above sea level, Antequera experiences a continental Mediterranean climate with distinct seasonal variations. Historical data shows 3,808 sunshine hours annually, providing ample daylight throughout the year. Average annual temperature is 16.7°C, with winter averages around 8°C and summer temperatures reaching 26°C. The swimming season lasts approximately four months when water temperatures exceed 20°C, though private pools extend the swimming period through temperature management. The elevation creates more pronounced temperature differences between day and night compared to coastal areas. Winter nights can be cooler, requiring adequate heating systems, which the provided aerothermal climate control addresses. The position in central Andalusia generally provides stable weather patterns with less coastal humidity and more seasonal rainfall in winter months.

This development in Antequera represents a different value proposition compared to coastal projects in the Costa del Sol. Compared to Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Alba Benalmadena in Benalmadena (from €598,000), this development offers lower entry prices while providing comparable property specifications. The inland position of Antequera results in a different lifestyle experience than coastal developments – here, residents experience more pronounced seasonal changes, greater temperature variations, and a more Spanish cultural environment outside the international tourist zones. Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000) offers a lower price point but likely smaller properties given the price differential. The proximity to the AVE train network provides connectivity advantages not typically available in coastal developments, enabling direct access to Madrid and other major cities without road travel. The limited availability of only six units creates exclusivity but also limits purchase options. The inclusion of private pools in each villa addresses privacy concerns that might arise in developments with shared facilities. The September 2027 completion timeline positions this as a medium-term investment rather than an immediate housing solution.
