This property is a spacious townhouse located in the heart of Cuevas Bajas, a rural municipality in the province of Málaga. With a living area of 159 m² spread over three floors, the home features four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Built in 2006, the property is listed starting at €123,000. Cuevas Bajas is situated in the Nororma comarca, approximately 75 kilometers from the city of Málaga. It is a rural environment known for its location along the Genil River and its role as a stop on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostella. The home includes a fireplace for heating and a north-facing orientation.
Compared to coastal projects like Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000) and Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000), this project in Cuevas Bajas is significantly more affordable with a starting price of €123,000. This difference reflects the distance to the coast and the tourist center. While coastal projects often offer luxury amenities such as direct beach access and golf courses, Cuevas Bajas offers a rural, quiet living environment with lower per-square-meter prices. The home is larger and cheaper than comparable homes in cities like Málaga, but requires a car and offers fewer direct amenities than Astra Homes in Fuengirola.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated within the built-up area of Cuevas Bajas, at an elevation of 659 meters above sea level. This means residing in a rural, inland environment rather than a direct coastal setting. The location offers direct access to village amenities, including local shops and dining. The surroundings are characterized by rural architecture and a relatively low population density, resulting in a quiet living environment.
This project offers a spatial layout suitable for families or individuals requiring substantial living space at an entry-level price point. The presence of a bedroom on the ground floor makes the home practical for seniors or those who prefer to avoid stairs. The inclusion of a fireplace and a patio contributes to the traditional living experience of the interior region.
This is an existing home, constructed in 2006. There is no new construction development with future completion phases. The condition of maintenance and any necessary renovations should be verified during the purchasing process. There is no indicative delivery date for future phases, as the home is immediately available.
The home is not located directly on the beach or sea, implying a travel time of at least 20 minutes to the nearest coastal town (Villanueva de la Concepción) and longer to the main coast. A car is absolutely essential for daily mobility. The property has a north-facing orientation, meaning it receives relatively little direct sunlight. The distance to international airports is significant.
This project suits individuals looking for a spacious, affordable home who prefer a quiet, rural lifestyle over the busyness of the coast. It is suitable for car owners who are not reliant on daily amenities within walking distance. It may also be attractive to investors seeking real estate with a low entry barrier in a tranquil environment.
The home was built in 2006 and features functional finishes. It includes a fireplace in the living room for additional heating. The kitchen is partially fitted with a gas stove. Bathrooms are equipped with standard sanitary ware. A storage room is available for extra storage. The finish can be described as 'part furnished'. Specific details regarding materials and insulation values are not available in the data.
The asking price for this home starts from €123,000. This is a relatively low amount for a property of this size (159 m²) with four bedrooms in the Málaga region. The pricing reflects the inland location and distance from the coast. No OBT (Stamp Duty) is specified, but buyers should account for notary, registry fees, and potential ITP (Property Transfer Tax) upon purchase.
