This project features a spacious townhouse with a total built area of 429 m², located in the village of Colmenar, Málaga. Currently utilized as a warehouse, the property requires a complete renovation. With four bedrooms and one bathroom, the home offers significant volume across two levels, including a large integrated garage. The setting is inland at approximately 674 meters above sea level in the Axarquía region. Essential amenities such as a pharmacy and supermarket are within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in an urban environment within Colmenar. The plot features a unique characteristic: an entrance and exit on two different streets, offering possibilities for splitting the property or combining living and working spaces. The immediate surroundings provide basic facilities within walking distance.
Given the dimensions of 429 m² and the presence of four bedrooms, this property lends itself to transformation into a large family home, a guesthouse, or multiple apartments. The current layout as storage offers a blank canvas for a new layout. A large garage is present, guaranteeing parking space for multiple vehicles.
This is not a new build project. The structure is existing but requires major renovation and restoration to meet residential standards. There are no specific handover dates for finishing, as this depends entirely on the plans of the new owner.
The object is sold in its current state (warehouse/storage). There is no fitted kitchen present and furniture is not included. The condition of the property requires immediate attention and investment. The distance to the coast is approximately 20 kilometers, meaning beaches are not directly at the doorstep.
This project fits buyers looking for a 'fixer-upper' with potential who are willing to invest time in renovation. The large size and double street access make it interesting for those wanting to combine a craft practice at home or host a large family. It is also an option for investors looking to transform the property into multiple rental units. People seeking the tranquility of an Andalusian village but wishing to stay connected to Málaga city (20 mins drive) will find a suitable option here.
The current state is that of an industrial storage space. There is no finished kitchen or sanitary ware present. The floors and walls are functional but not suitable for living without intervention. The 'quality' of this project lies in the basic structure: many square meters, a roof, walls, and the potential to apply high-quality materials according to one's own insight.
The asking price for this object starts at €225,000. Given the large surface area of 429 m² and commercial possibilities (two accesses), the price per square meter is significantly lower than for renovated properties in the region. However, this project requires a renovation budget.
Colmenar is situated at 674 meters altitude, resulting in a rural climate with cooler evenings than the coast. The environment is inland and mountainous. For daily groceries, a supermarket is available at 266 meters. The pharmacy is even closer at 129 meters. The village offers various restaurants, cafes, and medical facilities within a 2 km radius.
Colmenar is a growing village in the Axarquía. The living environment is characterized by village community spirit. The location at 674 meters offers views of the mountains. There are several sports facilities in the immediate vicinity. With 3,837 hours of sunshine per year, there is plenty of daylight, but the temperature is on average lower than on the coast, making summers pleasant but winters requiring heating.
The map shows the location of the home in Colmenar, against the mountainous backdrop. The two street accesses are relevant for the access. The distances to the coast (bottom left) and Málaga (southwest) are clearly visible.
Colmenar is located inland, north of Málaga city. It positions itself as a gateway to the Axarquía. Compared to coastal towns, the lifestyle here is quieter and cheaper. The location is strategic for people working in Málaga but not wanting to live in the city.
The property is car-free accessible. A car is useful for larger groceries, but for daily life, amenities can be reached on foot. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is located at a distance of 29 kilometers. The nearest beaches (Playa de Pedregalejo) are located at a distance of 20 kilometers. There are 12 public transport lines in the area connecting the village with the region.

The altitude of 674 meters ensures a specific microclimate. The average annual temperature is 15.7°C. The summers are warm, but the nights cool down. In winter it can be fresh. There are 32 local holidays a year, indicating an active village community. The swimming season in the region lasts 4 months, but for beach visits one must take into account 20 minutes travel time.

Beaches are located 20 kilometers away (as the crow flies), such as Playa de Pedregalejo. For golfers, there are options at distances ranging from 28 to 33 km (Club de Golf de Guadalhorce, Parador, Miguel Ángel Jiménez). In the immediate vicinity of the village, recreational opportunities are focused on walking and nature sports in the mountainous surroundings.

Compared to coastal projects like Acqua Gardens (€418,800+) or Aby Upper (€320,000+), this object in Colmenar offers a much lower entry price (€225,000) for significantly more square meters (429 m² vs standard apartments). However, unlike the turn-key new builds in Estepona or Benalmádena (Alba), this purchase requires significant renovation effort. You get 'space and potential' here instead of 'luxury and immediate comfort'. The price per m² is therefore attractively low, but the return depends on one's own ability to renovate.
