Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

The estate is located in the municipality of Comares, part of the Axarquía. The immediate surroundings are rural with expansive views over the Montes de Málaga. Amenities such as a pharmacy and supermarket are within walking distance (81 m and 27 m respectively). The coast (Playa Victoria) is 15 km away as the crow flies.

Layout

With a plot size of 8,400 m² and a living area of 480 m², this property suits those seeking significant outdoor space and privacy. The layout of five bedrooms and four bathrooms facilitates guest accommodation or family use. The presence of multiple terraces and a private pool supports a lifestyle centered on outdoor living.

Project Status

Although a traditional cortijo, the property has been fully renovated. Technical installations, including water supply and electrical systems, have been modernized. The interior finishes have been adapted to modern living standards while retaining characterful elements.

Points of Attention

The location is rural and hilly, meaning that the use of a car is necessary for most movement. The distance to the airport is approximately 29 km. The property is not connected to a public sewer but uses a private well and septic tank. The proximity to the settlement implies that one is not completely isolated.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This project fits residents who need a lot of space and are comfortable with maintaining a large plot. The layout with multiple bedrooms makes it suitable for large families or situations where guests stay frequently. The rural location outside the bustle of the coast, but within 30 minutes of the airport, appeals to people seeking a balance between isolation and accessibility. Also, for those who value self-sufficiency (own water, solar panels), this property offers specific advantages.

Build Quality & Finishing

The finish shows a mix of traditional materials and modern technique. The exterior features authentic elements such as stone arches and the patio garden. Technical specifications include a fully installed air conditioning system (cooling and heating), a fireplace for heating, and double glazing. Sanitary ware and kitchen were renovated during the renovation. The garden design is professionally executed with an automated irrigation system and ground cover adapted to the Mediterranean climate.

Context & Surroundings

Functions as a rural retreat with a focus on privacy and garden maintenance. The variety of outdoor spaces, from the secluded patio with fountain to the various terraces surrounding the house, dictates the daily rhythm. The presence of some sixty fruit trees and an extensive irrigation system requires engagement with the garden but offers direct access to agricultural life. The private chapel and meditation space emphasize the quiet function of the estate. It is a place where the distance to the inhabited world is palpable, despite the proximity of the village.

Regional Comparison

Compared to coastal projects like Arosa in Mijas or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola, this property in Comares offers significantly more land and privacy for a comparable or higher price. Coastal projects (prices starting around €360,000 - €720,000) are often apartments or townhouses with communal facilities, whereas this is a detached home on private land. The price point of €1,650,000 reflects the plot size, luxury finish, and autonomy in water and energy, which is unique compared to standard new builds on the coast. The lifestyle differs fundamentally: coastal projects focus on tourism and beach life, while Comares offers an agrarian and quiet experience.
