This property, located in the inland area of Málaga in Alozaina, offers a spacious residence with a total area of 247 m² on a 125 m² plot. The dwelling includes three bedrooms and one bathroom. The property is distributed over three floors, with the main structural work largely completed, but finishing works remaining. Situated at 375 meters above sea level in the Sierra de las Nieves region, this home is suitable for buyers seeking a renovation project with potential for multi-unit layout.
Compared to coastal projects in Estepona or Benalmadena, where prices for new builds often start above €300,000, this object in Alozaina is priced lower with a starting price of €175,000. The main difference lies in the nature of the object: here one buys a renovation project with history and space in a quiet, inland setting, whereas on the coast one often buys for direct beach access and modern resort facilities. The value of this property lies mainly in the square meters and renovation potential, rather than turn-key finishing.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is located in Alozaina, a town in the province of Málaga. The plot is situated in an urban environment where basic amenities such as a supermarket (565 m) and pharmacy (332 m) are within walking distance. The location is inland, in the foothills of the mountain range, offering a landscape setting.
This property addresses the need for living space with potential for multiple bedrooms and living areas across three levels. There is an opportunity to create separate entrances on the second and third floors. A fireplace is present for heating.
This is not a new build project in the strict sense, but an existing structure where the shell construction is complete. The ground floor is habitable, while the upper floors are unfinished and ready for internal fitting and modernization by the buyer.
The property requires significant renovation and finishing. There is currently only one bathroom in the layout. Parking is available on the street (public parking). The distance to the coast and the airport is considerable, meaning a car is necessary for mobility.
This project fits individuals or companies with experience in construction or renovation. The layout across three levels with independent access makes it suitable for those seeking a multi-functional property, for instance for a family with elderly parents or for rental purposes. The location in Alozaina suits buyers who prefer the countryside over the coast and own a car for accessibility to distant facilities.
The property condition is listed as 'Fair' requiring renovation. The current structure includes walls and basic roofing. Finishing such as flooring, sanitary ware, and kitchen must be largely executed. A fireplace serves as a heat source. Utilities including water and electricity are present, as is fiber optic internet. There is a utility/storage room.
The asking price for this property starts from €175,000. Given the 247 m² size and the renovation needs, it is positioned in a segment where additional investment costs for finishing and furnishing must be budgeted.

With a population density of approximately 66 inhabitants per km² and an area of 33.85 km², there is a rural, community-focused atmosphere.
