This property, a renovated Finca-Cortijo, is located in Cártama, province of Málaga. The plot spans 3500 m² and offers a living area of 171 m². The residence features three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The location is situated inland but provides amenities within walking distance and a connection to the highway network. The distance to the coast (Playa de los Álamos) is 15 kilometers, and Málaga Airport is reachable at a distance of 12 kilometers.
Compared to coastal projects like Astra Homes in Fuengirola (from €364,000), this property offers more square meters of ground and privacy for a higher price. In comparison to Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000), this project offers a rural setting instead of an apartment complex. The price tag of €699,000 is exclusive for this region but reflects the combination of living space, plot size, and full renovation.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in an urban environment in Cártama, with shops and basic amenities within less than 100 meters. Despite the rural appearance of the plot, the connection to the mainland is immediate. The location offers a transition between the agricultural hinterlands and the urban edge of Málaga.
With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the property accommodates the basic needs of a family or a couple seeking extra space. The presence of a private swimming pool and various outdoor areas supports a lifestyle focused on outdoor living. The 3500 m² plot offers privacy and space for garden maintenance.
This project involves an existing structure that has recently been fully renovated. All technical installations, including electricity and plumbing, have been renewed. The condition of the property is listed as 'Excellent'. Delivery is immediate, implying no construction risks or waiting times.
The property is not located on the seafront and requires transportation for coastal visits. The location on an estate requires maintenance of the garden and pool. While amenities are nearby, the setting is not pedestrian-friendly for those preferring the dynamic of a large city directly at their doorstep.
This property is suitable for buyers who require space and privacy but do not wish to live in isolation. The situation suits people who want to escape the busyness of the coast but still want access to infrastructure. The presence of a mobile home on the site makes it suitable for families regularly hosting guests. For people working in Málaga City but wanting to live in a quieter environment, the distance to the highway is a practical advantage.
The interior finish has recently been modernized. The floors are fitted with ceramic tiles with a wood look, a choice that combines durability and ease of maintenance with aesthetics. The bathrooms have been renovated, utilizing modern sanitary facilities and a freestanding bath (Victorian style). The kitchen is equipped with new countertops and built-in appliances. Specifications such as double glazing and air conditioning (both heating and cooling) contribute to the comfort level.
The asking price for this property is set at €699,000. Considering the combination of plot size (3500 m²) and the number of bedrooms (3), the price positions itself in the higher segment of the market for rural homes in this specific region. A recent price reduction has been applied.
Cártama functions as a central hub in the Guadalhorce valley. The living environment here is practical: one does not live in a tourist enclave, but in a working Spanish town. This means enjoying the quiet of one's own plot in the morning, and being in the city center of Málaga within 12 minutes. Daily groceries can be bought at the supermarket 99 meters away. The presence of various recent upgrades to the property indicates a directly habitable state without months of renovation work.
The living environment is characterized by direct access to basic amenities. A pharmacy is located at 215 meters and a supermarket at 99 meters. For families, primary schools are present in the immediate vicinity. Málaga Airport is located 12 km away, making the property interesting for frequent travelers. The proximity of the hospital (3.2 km) contributes to medical facilities in the area.
