A detached villa with private pool on a fully fenced 6,394 m² plot on the edge of the El Torcal Natural Park, near Villanueva de la Concepción in the province of Málaga. The house measures 83 m² and comprises an open-plan living room and kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom. Built in 2004 and key-ready, it is offered at a fixed asking price of €235,000, including furniture, a rental licence, existing bookings and platform accounts. The nearest supermarket and pharmacy are within walking distance, and Málaga and its airport lie roughly 28 km away as the crow flies.
Within the wider Málaga property market, this villa occupies a distinctly inland position, and the comparison with coastal new-build projects illustrates the trade-off. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000. Those developments offer modern apartments in coastal settings, beaches, promenades and resort infrastructure within easy reach, but typically with far smaller external space, communal rather than private pools, and community living. This villa, at a fixed €235,000, delivers the opposite package: 6,394 m² of private fenced land, a private pool, mountain and valley views and immediate neighbours in nature rather than in a residential block. The interior of 83 m² with two bedrooms and one bathroom is smaller than many coastal comparables at similar price points, and the build dates from 2004 rather than current construction standards. Locationally, Villanueva de la Concepción belongs to the Antequera, El Torcal interior, roughly 26 km straight-line from the nearest beaches and about 28 km from Málaga Airport, with travel times by road of around fifty minutes. Buyers comparing this property with coastal options are therefore choosing between rural space and privacy on one hand and coastal convenience on the other; the region offers both, at comparable entry prices, but rarely in the same property. The inclusion of a rental licence and active bookings adds an income dimension that many new-build apartments only acquire after licensing processes of their own.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits inland at the foot of the El Torcal Natural Park, on the outskirts of the village of Villanueva de la Concepción. A supermarket lies 70 m away and a pharmacy 222 m, both reachable on foot. The village centre with restaurants, a school and a bank is a five-minute drive. Málaga, the coast and the airport are approximately 50 minutes by car; the hospital is 11 km away straight-line.
The property combines a rural setting with everyday practicality: air conditioning and hot A/C throughout, a wood-beamed living room with fireplace, a fully fitted kitchen, two furnished bedrooms with wardrobes, and a covered terrace with barbecue adjoining a private 5.5 x 3 m pool. WiFi is installed and the plot is fenced with a lockable gate, offering privacy on a generous 6,394 m² of land.
This is an existing home, completed in 2004, offered key-ready. It is not a new-build development; no construction phases or developer payment plans apply. The property has been maintained in good condition and the pool has been renovated recently. Delivery is immediate upon completion of the purchase, subject to the standard Spanish conveyancing process.
The house offers 83 m² with two bedrooms and one bathroom only, no second bathroom, guest toilet or additional bedrooms. There is no mention of central heating, underfloor heating or a garage. EV charging is 9.7 km away, and beaches lie about 26 km straight-line, so this is not a coastal property. Buyers seeking sea views or walking-distance beach access should factor in these limitations.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a quiet, low-maintenance base in inland Andalusia will find the two-bedroom layout, air conditioning and walkable access to a supermarket practical for year-round living. A family wanting a holiday home with genuine privacy, a fenced plot, private pool and countryside views, can use it seasonally and lock it up securely between visits. An investor has a concrete entry point here: the sale includes a rental licence, platform accounts and existing reservations, so a holiday-let operation could continue without starting from zero. Buyers wanting a Casa Rural project on land with an authentic mountain-pueblo setting also fall within the property's intended use. Conversely, it suits buyers poorly in some situations. Households needing three or more bedrooms or a second bathroom will find the floor plan limiting. Buyers focused on coastal living should note that beaches are roughly 26 km away straight-line and the airport 28 km, meaning the sea is a drive rather than a stroll. Anyone dependent on public transport should check the local lines carefully, 12 lines and 21 stops serve the wider area, but rural connectivity at this specific location will be limited, and a car is advisable for most journeys beyond the village.
The house was built in 2004 and is described as well maintained, with several specific indicators of finish and condition. The living area features a high wooden ceiling, which is both a visual characteristic and a practical one, adding volume and natural insulation to the main room. The fireplace in the lounge provides supplementary heating alongside the air conditioning, which is installed throughout the property and also delivers hot-air heating in winter, a relevant detail at 601 m altitude, where January averages around 8°C. The kitchen is fully fitted and equipped, including a washing machine, and there is a separate utility room, keeping laundry functions out of the main living space. The bathroom is fitted with a spacious shower, washbasin and toilet and is described as well maintained. Both bedrooms include wardrobe storage and air conditioning units. Externally, the covered veranda is finished with quality tiling and incorporates an authentic barbecue; the pool, measuring 5.5 x 3 metres, has been renovated recently. The plot is fully fenced with a lockable gate, and WiFi is installed. The property is sold fully furnished, so the buyer acquires a turn-key home rather than a shell requiring works. Buyers should nonetheless carry out the customary technical survey: a twenty-year-old rural property merits checks on the septic system, water supply, electrical installation and pool equipment, none of which are specified in the available data.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €235,000, not a 'from' price, as this is a single existing home rather than a development with a price list. For that sum, the buyer receives the fully furnished property with a private pool, a rental licence, existing accounts on booking platforms and current reservations, which is relevant for anyone considering holiday letting. At roughly €2,830 per m² of built area, while also acquiring a 6,394 m² plot, the pricing is positioned below the from-prices of coastal new-build comparables such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000). Availability is immediate, subject to the usual Spanish purchase process.
Daily life at this villa revolves around space, quiet and outdoor living. The plot of nearly 6,400 m² is fully fenced and entered through a lockable gate, giving a strong sense of seclusion while the village remains a short drive away. The south-west orientation means the covered terrace catches afternoon and evening sun, making it a natural extension of the 83 m² living space. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be taken outdoors for much of the year, with the barbecue and tiled terrace beside the recently renovated 5.5 x 3 m pool overlooking the mountains and valley. Inside, the layout is compact and functional: an open-plan kitchen and living room under a high wooden ceiling with a fireplace for cooler winter evenings, a master bedroom with double bed and air conditioning, and a second bedroom with two single beds, a configuration that suits a couple or a family with one or two children. Mornings can start with a walk into the surrounding countryside of El Torcal; the football field 400 m away and the village facilities within two kilometres cover basic sport and schooling needs. Shopping is genuinely on foot: the supermarket at 70 m and the pharmacy at 222 m mean daily essentials do not require a car. For anything beyond the everyday, hospital care at 11 km, larger retail in Antequera at roughly fifteen minutes by car, or the cultural offer of Málaga at around fifty minutes, a vehicle is the practical choice. The village setting also means the rhythm of the year follows local life: 32 public holidays per year, village festivities, and a markedly quieter winter out of the tourist season.
The villa's immediate surroundings are those of a mountain pueblo on the edge of the El Torcal Natural Park: forest and karst landscape in one direction, village life in the other. The nearest supermarket sits 70 m from the property and the pharmacy 222 m, an unusual degree of walkability for a rural villa with this much land. Within two kilometres there is a restaurant, two schools, a bank, a pharmacy and a dentist, and the football field lies 400 m away, indicating a functioning everyday infrastructure. The village itself is about five minutes by car. At 601 m above sea level, the climate is somewhat cooler than the coast: the average annual temperature is 15.6°C, with monthly averages ranging from 8°C in winter to 25°C in summer. This means warmer days than Northern Europe but genuinely cool winter nights, for which the fireplace and hot-air heating are relevant. Distances should be read as straight-line figures: Málaga lies 25 km as the crow flies, the beaches of La Malagueta and the Baños del Carmen about 26 km, the hospital 11 km, and the airport roughly 28 km, each of these translates to a longer road journey, with the drive to the coast taking around fifty minutes. Public transport in the wider area comprises 12 lines and 21 stops, though for a property of this type a car remains the practical mode for most trips.
The map shows the villa's position on the edge of Villanueva de la Concepción, with the El Torcal Natural Park to one side and the village to the other. Straight-line distances to the supermarket, pharmacy, hospital, beaches, golf courses and Málaga Airport give a factual picture of how the location connects to the wider region.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Villanueva de la Concepción occupies an inland position in the province of Málaga, between the Antequera depression and the Montes de Málaga. Málaga city, with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, lies 25 km straight-line to the south-east and provides the region's principal services, culture and airport. Antequera, the historic market hub of the interior, is about fifteen minutes by car. Marbella is 56 km straight-line and Granada 87 km, placing both within reach of a day trip by motorway. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, this location represents the inland, nature-oriented alternative to coastal resort towns, a different market segment with correspondingly different pricing.
Accessibility is shaped by the property's inland position. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 28 km away straight-line, with Gibraltar (GIB) at 113 km and Alicante-Elche (ALC) at 381 km, in practice, AGP is the only realistic airport for regular travel, reached by car in under an hour. Beaches at La Malagueta, Los Baños del Carmen and San Andrés all lie about 26 km as the crow flies, so a beach day is a planned outing of roughly fifty minutes each way rather than a spontaneous walk. Golfers face similar distances: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 25 km, Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 31 km and Lauro Golf at 32 km straight-line. Everyday access is the property's strength, supermarket at 70 m, pharmacy at 222 m, restaurant and school within 2 km, and the village core five minutes by car. Hospital care is 11 km away. An electric-vehicle fast charger (IONITY Casabermeja) is 9.7 km distant. A car is described as convenient but not essential for everything given the walkable village amenities, yet most regional travel is road-based.

The setting is defined by the El Torcal Natural Park, whose limestone landscape borders the property directly, a protected area known for walking, rock formations and a quiet, dark-night environment. The elevation of 601 m brings a mountain climate tempered by Andalusian latitude: 15.6°C on average across the year, monthly means between 8°C and 25°C. Summers are warm but typically less humid than the coast; winters are mild by day and cool at night, with the fireplace and hot-air system covering the colder months. The swimming season is around four months, when water temperatures exceed 20°C, so the private pool is realistically usable from late spring to early autumn rather than year-round without heating. Rainfall is concentrated in autumn and winter in this region, leaving long dry stretches from May to September, favourable for outdoor living on the covered terrace, which faces south-west and benefits from afternoon and evening sun behind its shade structure.

Although this is not a beach property, the coast remains within reach: Playa de la Malagueta, Playa de los Baños del Carmen and Playa de San Andrés are each about 26 km away straight-line, reachable by car in roughly fifty minutes, combining well with a visit to Málaga city. Recreation closer to home is land-based. The El Torcal Natural Park at the doorstep offers hiking among its karst formations, and the surrounding countryside supports cycling and walking directly from the fenced plot. The property's own leisure facilities, the private 5.5 x 3 m renovated pool, the covered terrace with barbecue and 6,394 m² of private grounds, provide daily recreation without leaving home. The village football field 400 m away and a sports centre within the wider dataset add local options. Golf requires a drive of 25–32 km to the Guadalhorce, Málaga Parador or Lauro courses, making the coast and its courses an occasional excursion rather than part of the daily routine.
