This renovated finca in Comares combines traditional Andalusian architecture with modern residential comfort. With a living area of 480 m² and a plot of 8,400 m², the estate offers space and privacy. The location in the Axarquía region, known for its white villages, provides a rural setting within a short distance of the coast. The property is fully renovated and features five bedrooms and four bathrooms, suitable for permanent residence or as a holiday home.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
The asking price is set at €1,650,000. This amount represents the investment in the renovated main residence, the 8,400 m² plot, the outdoor facilities such as the pool, and the technical amenities (water well, solar panels). Price negotiation is subject to market conditions and inspection.
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.
The immediate living environment is defined by the village of Comares, located high in the mountains. Within walking distance are basic amenities such as a pharmacy and a supermarket, making daily shopping possible without a car. The surroundings are hilly, implying walking and sports as physical activities. Culturally and historically, the region is rich in Moorish influences, visible in the architecture of the village.
The map shows the positioning of the plot relative to the center of Comares and the surrounding mountain ranges. The distances to the coastal towns to the south are visually represented. Contour lines illustrate the mountainous nature of the immediate surroundings.
Comares is located in the northern sector of the Axarquía, bordering the Montes de Málaga. It is one of the highest located "Pueblos Blancos" (white villages) in the region. The location offers a transition zone between the coastal plain and the interior. It is strategically located between the cities of Málaga (west) and Vélez-Málaga (east), both approximately 25-30 km away.
The beach (Playa Victoria) is 15 km away as the crow flies; travel time by car is longer due to mountain roads. Malaga Airport is 29 km away. Golf courses are available in the area, with 'Club de Golf Málaga Parador' being the closest option at 29 km distance. A car is essential for visiting the beach, airport, and larger cities.

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.
