This property features a traditional townhouse located in the historic center of Comares, Málaga. The home offers 108 m² of living space with a 60 m² plot, including three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Situated at 724 meters above sea level in the Axarquía region, the residence is classified as a resale. The property requires updates to meet modern standards, with basic amenities such as a pharmacy and supermarket within 100 meters.
Compared to large-scale projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) or Aby Upper (from €320,000), the entry price in Comares is significantly lower (€85,000). This reflects the difference between apartments in modern coastal resorts and a traditional mountain home requiring renovation. Coastal projects often offer luxury communal amenities (pools, gyms) absent here. Coastal projects focus on 'lifestyle' and holiday rentals, whereas Comares offers immersion into local Spanish village life, away from mass tourism.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in an urban environment with immediate access to local services. Comares is recognized as one of the highest elevated 'pueblos blancos' in the province. The location in the Montes de Málaga ensures panoramic views but implies a mountainous terrain. The distance to the coastline is 15 kilometers as the crow flies.
The layout of three bedrooms and two bathrooms provides essential accommodation for permanent or holiday use. The presence of a fireplace indicates the necessity for heating during cooler evenings due to the altitude. The property is delivered unfurnished with an unfitted kitchen, requiring buyer installation.
This is a resale property, not a new development. The condition is listed as 'Good', though kitchen infrastructure and furniture are absent. There are no communal facilities or ongoing construction phases typical of new builds.
Parking is available on the street only; there is no private garage or off-street parking. Due to the altitude (724m) and distance to the beach (15 km), this location is not suitable for those prioritizing direct beach access. The property requires renovation of the kitchen and potentially sanitary installations.
This property suits buyers seeking an authentic home in a rural setting with accessible village infrastructure. It is appropriate for those who prefer a cooler climate over the heat of the coast. Renovation enthusiasts will find a solid structure to customize. It is less suitable for individuals requiring rapid access to highways or preferring flat terrain.
The structure is reported to be in good condition. It includes a fireplace for heating. The kitchen is not installed (unfitted) and the property is sold without furniture. Finishes feature traditional elements such as wooden ceilings. Modern energy efficiency ratings are not specified, suggesting standard insulation levels for older properties in this area.
The listing price starts from €85,000. Categorized as 'Bargain' and 'Resale', this price point reflects the investment required for renovation. There are no communal fees associated with this individual property. Market positioning indicates an entry-level price point for the region.
