This characterful four-bedroom townhouse, located in the heart of the white mountain village of Gaucín, combines authentic Andalusian charm with contemporary living comfort. Just a short stroll from charming cafés, restaurants, and artisan shops, the property benefits from an attractive position in one of Andalusia's most beloved 'pueblos blancos'. Gaucín attracts a cosmopolitan, international community.
Compared to projects on the immediate coastline of the Costa del Sol, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (starting from €269,950 and €259,000 respectively), this townhouse in Gaucín offers a distinctly different living experience. Gaucín, a 'pueblo blanco' in the mountains, positions itself as an authentic, quieter enclave compared to the more tourist-centric and urban coastal towns. The price of €455,000 for this four-bedroom townhouse with 249 m² of living space reflects its location within a historic village and recent renovations, which may be higher than new build apartments on the coast. Lantana Residencial in Mijas, with prices starting from €205,000, is also a coastal-focused development. Gaucín provides a lifestyle focused on culture, nature, and a more traditional Spanish village life, contrasting with the emphasis on beaches and seaside amenities characteristic of the mentioned coastal projects.
