Villa Carlitos is located in the hamlet of Los Ventorros de Comares, Málaga, offering a residential experience in a rural setting. This semi-detached property features 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across a living area of 221 m². The plot size is 247 m². Positioned at 724 meters above sea level, the home provides views of the mountains and countryside. It includes amenities such as central heating, a private pool, and a covered terrace, and is sold unfurnished.
Villa Carlitos is significantly more affordable than Arosa in Mijas (starting at €490,000), offering more bedrooms for a lower price. Compared to Astra Homes in Fuengirola, it offers a village lifestyle instead of an urban one. While Waterfall Residences offer luxury coastal living, this property provides a larger floor plan and character in a tranquil inland setting. The trade-off is distance to the beach and the need for a car.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated inland within the municipality of Comares, part of the Axarquía region. The immediate environment is characterized by mountainous terrain and viewpoints. It offers a countryside setting away from the coastal crowds, necessitating a car for most external travel despite the proximity of local village amenities.
With six bedrooms, the property accommodates large groups or families seeking extensive sleeping quarters. The layout includes potential for an open-plan living area on the ground floor. Outdoor living is supported by a private garden, covered terrace, and a swimming pool, catering to a lifestyle focused on privacy and relaxation.
This is a resale property in 'Good' condition, not a new development. It is available immediately upon purchase. Essential utilities such as electricity and drinking water are already connected, and the structure allows for further personalization, particularly regarding the kitchen and ground floor layout.
The location is not within walking distance of the beach (15 km away). The property is unfurnished, requiring full outfitting. Access involves navigating the terrain of a hillside village, which may not be suitable for those with severe mobility issues. The kitchen is only partially fitted.
This home suits buyers looking for a spacious village residence rather than a beach apartment. It is appropriate for large families or those running guesthouse-style operations given the room count. Investors seeking a property with proven rental potential in a non-touristy village setting may find value here. It is less suitable for those requiring immediate proximity to the sea or luxury marina amenities.
The home retains authentic character with features like a checkered-floor hallway and Moorish-style pool. The condition is good, with functional central heating. The 'Partially Fitted' kitchen and main living areas offer scope for modernization. Materials are standard for the region, designed for durability in the mountain climate.
Listed at €324,500, this property presents a lower entry price point compared to similar square footage in coastal towns like Mijas. It is a single unit offering, with a history of rental income. The price reflects the inland location and the potential for customization.
Life at Villa Carlitos follows the rhythm of the Andalusian hills. Mornings often begin with clear air and panoramic views from the rooftop terrace. Daily routines can involve a short walk to the local supermarket (27m) or pharmacy (81m) for essentials. The climate at 724 meters ensures cooler evenings compared to the coast, making the central heating a practical feature. While the pool offers summer recreation, the distance to major beaches means leisure time is often spent in the private garden or exploring the mountain trails of the Montes de Málaga. The quiet environment is suited for those who prefer tranquility over the vibrant nightlife of coastal resorts.
Comares is known as the 'Balcony of Axarquía'. The community hosts 32 fiestas annually, indicating strong local traditions. The environment includes 3 sports facilities and several viewpoints. The air is generally cleaner and cooler than the coastal strip, with 3,894 hours of sunshine per year.
The map highlights the inland position of Comares relative to Malaga Airport and the coastline. It illustrates the transition from the coastal urbanization to the rural mountainous interior.
Situated inland, Comares is one of the highest villages in the Axarquía region. It is approximately 24 km from Vélez-Málaga. The position offers a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance, distinguishing it from coastal developments.
Malaga Airport is 29 km away. Beaches like Playa Victoria are 15 km as the crow flies. Golf courses are located approximately 29-32 km away. A hospital is 9.6 km from the property. Public transport exists (12 lines), but a private vehicle is the most effective mode of transport for this location.
