This plot, located in the Riogordo area of Málaga province, offers a substantial 11,000 m² of land. Currently classified as dry land, it features approximately 100 organically certified olive trees. Riogordo, a municipality of around 3,000 inhabitants, is situated inland within the Axarquía region, approximately 40 kilometers from Málaga city. The plot is listed as 'Ready' (Gereed), with an indicative completion year of 1970, suggesting it is existing land available for development.
Compared to coastal projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000), this plot in Riogordo stands out with a significantly lower entry price of €39,900. This price reflects its inland location, away from direct beach fronts and more developed coastal areas. While the coastal projects offer completed homes with various amenities, the Riogordo offering is a building plot. This presents a fundamentally different approach for potential buyers: the flexibility of self-build versus purchasing a finished product. The space and the rural, agricultural environment of Riogordo distinguish it from the more urban or tourist-focused nature of coastal locations. However, its proximity to Málaga city and the airport is a shared advantage with some coastal areas, making it a relatively accessible option for those who prefer a quieter, more traditional Andalusian lifestyle.
