This project involves a detached villa (finca) located in Colmenar, Málaga. The property features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a living area of 155 m². The plot measures 36,000 m². The location is inland, situated at an altitude of 674 meters above sea level. The property is in a new construction status and faces southwest.
Compared to coastal projects, such as 'Astra Homes' in Fuengirola (from €364,000), this project in Colmenar offers significantly more land (36,000 m² vs typically <500 m²) for a lower starting price (€299,999). While 'Waterfall Residences' in Fuengirola (from €720,000) focuses on luxury and modern community amenities near the sea, this project offers privacy and autonomy. Buyers must weigh, however, that coastal facilities are 20 kilometers further away and that the climate in Colmenar is more rural and cooler than in Fuengirola or Málaga city.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated in the village of Colmenar, in the Axarquía region of Málaga. The surroundings are characterized by a rural setting with direct access to local amenities. The plot is inland, not directly by the sea, and offers a high degree of privacy due to the size of the land (36,000 m²).
With 155 m² of living space and 4 bedrooms, this project offers space for larger households or couples hosting many guests. The presence of a private garden and multiple parking spaces on the property meets the desire for outdoor living comfort and mobility.
The property is classified as 'New Construction'. This means the building has recently been completed or is in the final stages of development, complying with current building standards. A license for the construction of a swimming pool is available.
This project is not suitable for buyers looking for a 'beach house' or an apartment with shared amenities, given the 20-kilometer distance to the coast and the absence of communal facilities. The size of the plot requires maintenance. Built-in wardrobes are not included in the current phase.
This project fits buyers who prioritize space, privacy, and a rural environment over direct proximity to the beach. It is suitable for individuals who need a large garden or self-sufficiency options. Due to the altitude and climate, it is a suitable option for people wishing to escape the heat in the summer while still appreciating Andalusian sunshine. It is also relevant for buyers looking for a project that can be completed to their own taste (pool, kitchen).
The villa is built with materials intended to withstand the local rural environment. Double glazing is installed for insulation. Technical installations include air conditioning for climate control. The finish is neutral, with doors and sanitary ware that are functional. A kitchen connection is present, but the installation is not yet carried out (unfurnished). The plot is walled or fenced, contributing to privacy.
The asking price for this villa is €299,999. For a detached home with four bedrooms and a 36,000 m² plot in the Málaga region, this positions itself in the entry-level segment of the country estate market. The price per square meter of living space is significantly lower than for comparable objects in the coastal strip, mainly explained by the inland location.
Colmenar offers a living environment that differs from the immediate coastline. At 674 meters above sea level, the temperature is on average several degrees lower than at sea level, resulting in cooler evenings. The 3.6-hectare plot offers space for agriculture or hobby farming. The proximity to the village (within walking distance of basic amenities like a pharmacy and supermarket) combines rural living with sociological facilities. The location at the foot of the Montes de Málaga ensures a greener, mountainous environment compared to the drier coastal area.
Daily life in Colmenar revolves around the village center. Basic amenities such as a supermarket and pharmacy are within a 300-meter radius. The public space is defined by typical Andalusian architecture and the mountainous surroundings. The dense built-up area of the village transitions into the vast landscape of the fincas. There are 12 public transport lines connecting the region, supporting mobility without a car.
This map shows the location of the project in Colmenar. The distances to amenities such as the supermarket (266 m) and the hospital (17 km) are displayed. The distance to the airport (29 km) and beaches (20 km) is also visible.
Colmenar functions as one of the gateways to the Axarquía. It is located inland but remains strongly connected to the city of Málaga due to the good road connection (A-45). Compared to coastal towns, real estate prices here are lower and the pace of life is quieter. It offers an intermediate position: not isolated in the mountains, but not touristically busy on the sea.
The property is accessible via the local road network of Colmenar. The distance to Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 29 kilometers (as the crow flies). The village offers amenities within walking distance. For beaches, such as Playa de Pedregalejo, one must take into account a distance of approximately 20 kilometers. The nearest golf courses are located at a distance of 28 to 33 kilometers, making the project less suitable for frequent golfers. An EV charging point is available in the vicinity (8.3 km).

Colmenar is located at 674 meters above sea level. This has a direct impact on the climate: the average annual temperature is 15.7°C. There is a significantly cooler climate than on the coast, particularly at night. The area enjoys 3,837 hours of sunshine per year. The geography is hilly and green, located on the edge of the natural park of the Montes de Málaga. The outdoor swimming season is shorter than at the sea, approximately 4 months.

Although the project is located inland, the beaches of the Costa del Sol are accessible. The nearest beaches, such as Playa de Pedregalejo, are 20 kilometers away. For water sports, one must therefore travel to the coast. In the immediate vicinity of Colmenar, there are facilities for hiking and mountain sports. There are 8 sports facilities in the immediate vicinity. There is a permit for a private swimming pool on the plot.
