This project features a detached villa located in El Borge, within the Axarquía region of Málaga. Offering 234 m² of living space and a substantial plot of over 30,000 m², the property emphasizes privacy and space. While the setting is rural, it is not isolated; a pharmacy and supermarket are within 1.6 km. The home includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a private pool. The land features olive trees and mangoes. Málaga Airport is 28 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in the municipality of El Borge, characterized by its countryside setting in the Axarquía. Despite the 'Country' classification, the town center is a five-minute drive, balancing rural seclusion with access to local amenities. The coast (Playa de Benajarafe) is 11 km away. The elevation of 102 meters above sea level provides ventilation and views of the mountains and countryside.
With four bedrooms and 234 m² of living area, this object is suitable for family living or as a substantial vacation home. The inclusion of a separate guest apartment offers flexibility for visitors or rental income. The 3-hectare plot with private water resources (two tanks) appeals to those valuing autonomy and outdoor space, suitable for gardening or keeping small livestock.
The property is classified as 'New Construction', indicating recent completion or delivery in a pristine state. Features such as 'Air Conditioning' and 'Double Glazing' point to modern insulation standards. Specific delivery dates and installation specifications should be verified in the technical documentation.
The rural nature implies dependence on transport for facilities like golf courses, major hospitals, and beaches; the nearest golf course is 27 km away. While public transport exists (12 lines in the region), a car is practically necessary for daily logistics. The immediate environment is rustic, meaning there is little direct urban dynamics.

This project suits buyers seeking isolation and space, and who are willing to drive for beach access. It is ideal for those aiming for self-sufficiency or an agricultural hobby project (olive trees, fruit trees). The layout with a guest house also fits those receiving frequent visitors. It is also relevant for investors in rural tourism, given the rental license.
The description mentions a 'Partially Fitted' kitchen, allowing for personal customization. The presence of air conditioning and double glazing indicates modern comfort standards. The pool is private, as is the parking for more than three vehicles. The outdoor area includes a barbecue and a separate small house. Finishing materials in wet areas and the pool are relevant for maintenance in the countryside.
The asking price is set at €375,000. This equates to approximately €1,600 per square meter of living space. Given the plot size of over 3 hectares, the land represents a significant portion of the value. In comparison, coastal projects in Fuengirola list new homes from €364,000 upwards for much smaller units. The property is currently available for purchase.
El Borge is a small municipality with around 780 residents, ensuring a quiet and informal living environment. Daily life is defined by countryside silence, contrasted with the physical proximity to the coast. The house features a 'winter garden' and a fireplace, enhancing winter livability. With over 30,000 m² of private land, privacy is maximal. The elevation of 102 meters often mitigates extreme coastal heat, especially in the evenings. It is a location for those who enjoy being outdoors without relying on tourist entertainment.
El Borge is strategically positioned between the Axarquía mountains and the Málaga coast. The village offers basic amenities like local banks and cafes. For extensive shopping and culture, one looks to Vélez-Málaga (24 km) or Málaga City (28 km). Road connections are rural, so travel time may exceed the straight-line distance.
The map shows the villa's position relative to El Borge village and the main roads leading to the coast (A-7). The green surroundings indicate the agricultural nature of the area.
El Borge is located in the Axarquía, a region known for its wine and passion fruit. It is one of the smaller municipalities, contributing to strong community spirit. The project offers countryside privacy with coastal infrastructure nearby.
The nearest supermarket and pharmacy are 1.6 km away. A hospital is found at 10 km. Benajarafe Beach is 11 km away as the crow flies. Golfers find the nearest course, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, at 27 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 28 km away. An EV charging point is available within 14 km.

The region enjoys an average of 3,894 hours of sunshine per year. Average temperatures range between 15°C and 28°C. The inland location ensures warm days and cooler nights compared to the coast. The plot includes two large water tanks, essential for garden maintenance during dry summer months. The swimming season lasts approximately 4 months.

The coast with beaches like Playa de Benajarafe is close enough for day trips (11 km). However, recreation immediately around the home is centered on the private grounds, the pool, and nature. There are no marinas or large sports clubs in El Borge itself.

Compared to coastal projects in Fuengirola (e.g., Waterfall Residences from €720,000) or Mijas (Arosa from €490,000), this El Borge property offers significantly more land for a lower price. However, one trades immediate access to beach amenities for space and privacy.
