This project involves a detached villa located in Torremuelle, an urban area on the Costa del Sol. The property features 9 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms across a living space of 1,146 m². The plot covers 3,213 m². Situated approximately 35 meters above sea level, the home offers views of the sea and mountains. The property is in a condition that requires comprehensive renovation, allowing for customization of the layout and finishes. The location is within walking distance of amenities and the beach.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is positioned in Torremuelle, a residential district between Benalmádena and Fuengirola. The plot is located within an urban environment. The distance to the beach (Playa Bonita) is 762 meters as the crow flies. Amenities such as a supermarket and various restaurants are within a 500-meter radius. The location is close to the N-340 highway, facilitating connections to Malaga and Marbella.
With nearly 1,150 m² of space and 9 bedrooms, this object is suitable for large families or multi-generational living. The current layout includes multiple living rooms, two kitchens, and a dining room. There are opportunities to create workspaces or guest quarters. The presence of a private swimming pool and various terraces supports an outdoor-focused lifestyle. The renovation need requires an active role from the owner in the setup.
This concerns existing construction delivered in the past. There is currently no active new development project by an external party. Project plans for further expansion or renovation must be drafted and realized by the owner. Handover dates are therefore not applicable.
The property is sold in its current condition, requiring a complete renovation. The finishes are outdated and do not meet modern standards. Residents must anticipate potential noise pollution from the nearby highway and train line (the plot is near the coastal road). The hillside location requires physical exertion when walking to the beach due to elevation changes.
This object fits buyers looking for a major project with the freedom to renovate to their own taste. It is suitable for those who do not desire a 'turn-key' home but seek the challenge of modernizing a country estate. Given the number of bedrooms and the presence of a separate entrance/apartment, it is also suitable for those needing space for family members or staff. The location requires a preference for a living environment that is not isolated but situated within the existing Spanish village structure with all amenities close by.
The current finish quality is dated. The property features elements like marble floors and fireplaces, but these are in need of revision. The technical installations, including electricity and plumbing, likely no longer meet current safety and comfort standards. A buyer must anticipate the complete replacement of kitchens, bathrooms, and piping. The structure of the building, however, offers solid possibilities for introducing modern insulation and high-quality materials. The outdoor spaces are functional but require maintenance and landscaping adjustments.
The asking price for this plot and villa is set at €2,999,000. Given the nature of the object (unique detached villa), there is no project-based pricing as seen in new developments. Only one unit is available. Potential buyers must account for additional renovation costs, which can amount to significant figures depending on the desired quality. The pricing primarily reflects the land value and the property's potential.
Torremuelle offers a mix of residential tranquility and proximity to facilities. The immediate environment has a relatively high density of amenities, with multiple restaurants and a supermarket within a short distance. The neighborhood is generally quiet in character but is crossed by traffic arteries connecting the coast. For beach lovers, the location is advantageous: within a 10-minute walk, one is at the seaside. The presence of a train station in the immediate vicinity makes it possible to travel to cities like Fuengirola or Malaga without a car, benefiting daily mobility. The neighborhood has a diverse population, consisting of both permanent residents and international owners.
The environment of Torremuelle is characterized by direct access to both the sea and the hinterland. The coastline is rocky with sandy beaches within walking distance. The proximity to the A-7 highway and the train line ensures high accessibility, which is practical for travelers but also causes background noise. The neighborhood has a local supermarket and various dining options, making daily life practical. The atmosphere is less touristy than adjacent Benalmádena Costa, but more vibrant than the purely residential urbanizations inland. Public transport (Cercanías) within walking distance is a major factor for mobility for non-car users.
The map displays the strategic location of the plot between the coastline and the A-7 highway. Blue markers indicate the proximity of beaches and marinas. Green zones in the surroundings suggest the presence of parks and quiet areas.
Torremuelle is centrally located on the Costa del Sol, between the busier resorts of Fuengirola and Benalmádena. This position is considered strategic: both larger cities and the tourist center of the coast are quickly accessible. Unlike the remote urbanizations in the mountains (like Mijas Pueblo), this location offers direct access to the coast and public transport. The region is economically active, reflected in the many local businesses and the volume of real estate transactions (approx. 800 per year in the immediate vicinity).
The beach (Playa Bonita) is located 762 meters away as the crow flies. This is reachable on foot in about 10-12 minutes, considering a slight descent via the tunnel or footpaths. Malaga Airport is located approximately 12 km away, amounting to a 15-20 minute drive by car. Torremuelle train station is the nearest public transport (within 500 meters). For daily groceries, a supermarket is available at a 444-meter distance. Various golf courses, such as Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt (2.7 km), are reachable by car within a few minutes.

The property is situated 35 meters above sea level, providing a light breeze and limited chance of fog directly on the coast. The high number of sunshine hours makes outdoor living possible year-round. The orientation (Southeast/Southwest) ensures morning sun on the terraces and afternoon sun in the rear garden. The slope of the terrain is moderate (3.1% towards the beach), which aids drainage. The vegetation in the immediate surroundings consists of Mediterranean plants adapted to the dry summers.

A short distance (0.8 km) away lies Playa Bonita, a beach accessible via a historic tunnel from the 19th century. This beach is characterized by darker sand and calmer waters compared to other beaches in the region. For water sports and recreation, the marinas of Fuengirola and Benalmádena are a short distance away (6 km). Sports facilities like Club Hockey Benalmádena and various gyms are within a 2 km radius. The environment offers opportunities for walking and cycling along the coastal road (Senda Litoral), although the stretch here is sometimes interrupted.

Compared to exclusive 'La Zagaleta' or 'El Madroñal' in Marbella, this object is closer to the sea and features a more accessible location (not isolated in the mountains). The price level of €2,999,000 for a renovation project is high compared to apartments in Fuengirola (like 'Astra Homes'), but reflects the scarcity of large plots within walking distance of the beach in this region. Where 'Arosa' in Mijas offers a more rural, mountainous setting, this location offers the dynamism of the coastal town.
