This property is suitable for investors seeking rental income or families looking for a multi-generational home. The accessibility features (lifts, ground floor living) make it viable for people with reduced mobility. It fits those seeking a rural lifestyle rather than a beach resort.
Finishes follow an Andalusian/rustic style. Each apartment is equipped with air conditioning for hot and cold air and a wood-burning fireplace. The pool features a hydraulic lift for accessibility. The garden includes dedicated dining and barbecue zones.
The listing price is €360,000. Buyers should budget for Spanish purchase taxes (ITP), notary fees, and legal registration costs. The presence of a tourist license provides a direct revenue stream, affecting the investment calculation.

Compared to coastal developments like Astra Homes in Fuengirola (starting €364,000), this villa in Arriate offers more land (594 m²) and interior space (220 m²) for a similar price. Unlike Arosa (Mijas, from €490k), this is an inland property requiring a car for beach visits, but offering superior privacy. It is significantly cheaper per square meter than the Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720k), trading direct sea access for rural tranquility and investment yield via the tourist license.
