This project features a detached villa located in the hills of Comares, Málaga. With a living area of 217 m² and a plot of 1,916 m², the property offers significant space, comprising six bedrooms and three bathrooms. Situated at an altitude of 724 meters above sea level, the residence enjoys views of the surrounding mountains. The exterior includes a private pool and multiple terraces. The location is inland within an urban environment where basic amenities like supermarkets and pharmacies are within close proximity (less than 100 meters).
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in Comares, one of the higher-elevation villages in the Axarquía region. Its positioning on the hillside provides views over the Montes de Málaga. Despite the rural classification of the house, the built-up area is directly adjacent, ensuring a connection to local infrastructure. The distance to the coast is approximately 15 kilometers as the crow flies.
This object meets the needs of residents requiring ample living space and flexibility. With six bedrooms, it is suitable for large families or hosting guests. The presence of a private pool and private garden facilitates outdoor living. The immediate proximity of amenities such as dining and medical care supports daily comfort.
The description indicates an existing structure in a good state of maintenance. There is no development phase involved; this is a turnkey residence. Technical installations, including air conditioning and double glazing, are already in place.
The property is not located seaside; beach access requires transport over a distance of about 15 kilometers. The elevation at 724 meters implies a terrain with slopes and elevation changes. For quick access to the international airport (29 km), private transport is necessary.

This home suits households looking to escape the coastal bustle without wanting isolation. The large layout fits extended families or those combining work and home. It is also relevant for buyers seeking rental potential, due to the option to split spaces (as noted in the description with two independent living areas). Those who enjoy outdoor maintenance and mountain views will fit here, as will people who value proximity to a traditional Andalusian village over tourist centers.
The home features functional finishes like double glazing for insulation and air conditioning for climate control. The kitchen is partially fitted, allowing for customization. Bathrooms feature stone tiling, giving a robust look. Materials are suited to the climate, including covered outdoor areas. The presence of a storage room and utility room indicates a practical layout focused on usability. While not 'luxury', it offers a solid foundation for living.
The asking price for this property starts at €300,000. Given the large plot of nearly 2000 m² and the spacious construction of 217 m², this represents a specific pricing point in the rural housing market. The pricing reflects the 'good' condition and the presence of a private pool and storage, without being a luxury new build. Availability is limited to this specific unit.
Living in Comares means residing in one of the highest 'Pueblos Blancos' in the region. Days often begin with morning mist in the hills that lifts with the sun. At 724 meters above sea level, humidity is generally lower than on the coast, resulting in cooler nights, even in summer. The setting offers panoramic views of the Axarquía and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance. The immediate surroundings are rural, yet the presence of amenities within walking distance creates a blend of tranquil living and access to daily necessities. Residents here typically utilize the outdoor spaces extensively; the terraces and pool function as an extension of the living room for most of the year due to the mild climate.
The Comares environment is characterized by strong community spirit and local traditions. With 32 local festivities annually, village life is active. The physical setting is hilly; the dense village center transitions quickly into surrounding natural beauty. Amenities like restaurants and cafes are within a 2 km radius. Three nearby miradors (viewpoints) highlight the area's visual appeal. It is an environment inviting for hiking and enjoying tranquility, while still within a reasonable driving distance (approx. 30 mins) of larger cities and the coast.
The map shows the property's location in central Comares. Roads are narrow and ascending. You see the green valleys of the Axarquía and the nearest beaches on the blue coastline 15 km away.
Comares is located in the Axarquía region of Málaga province. It is strategically situated between the coast and mountains. Compared to direct coastal towns, it is quieter and more affordable, but requires more travel time for larger amenities. It serves as a central point for exploring the hinterland with a connection to the coastline via regional roads.
Accessibility depends on a car, though village amenities are walkable. The fastest route to the coast (Playa Victoria) is 15 km as the crow flies, but drive times are longer due to mountainous terrain. Málaga Airport is 29 km away. For golfers, the nearest course, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, is 29 km away. Public transport is available (12 regional lines), but frequency varies.

Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000) and Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000), this object in Comares offers a significantly lower entry price. While the comparison projects often offer luxury seaside apartments with many communal facilities, this project offers privacy and space (large plot) in a rural setting. The price per square meter is lower, explained by the distance to the coast and the differing finish of an existing home versus new coastal builds. For buyers prioritizing space and privacy over direct beach access, this offers better value.
