Fuente Dulce is a traditional Andalusian finca (cortijo) situated approximately 1 km from the city of Ronda. The property offers 200 m² of living space set within a 10-hectare (100,000 m²) estate characterized by olive groves. The residence features 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The property is listed for €2,900,000. The setting is rural, offering panoramic valley views, yet essential amenities like a pharmacy and supermarket are within walking distance. A private pool and several terraces provide outdoor space focused on privacy and tranquility.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The estate is located in the immediate vicinity of Ronda, at an elevation of approximately 590 meters above sea level. The setting is rural, bordering the natural landscape of the Serranía de Ronda. Despite the countryside setting, the connection to the urban area of Ronda is direct. Distances to city amenities are short, with the center reachable within minutes. The surrounding environment is defined by olive groves and mountainous terrain.
The layout of the house is suitable for occupation by multiple people or multiple families simultaneously. With 6 bedrooms, it offers space for large groups, making it suitable for family living or guest accommodation. The presence of a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor dining area under the pergola supports a lifestyle where significant time is spent outdoors. The private location and the 10-hectare estate offer complete privacy.
This is an existing property. The state of maintenance is described as 'Excellent'. It features traditional construction styles typical of the region, combined with modern amenities such as air conditioning and a fully fitted kitchen. There are no records of recent renovations or new construction plans; the object is offered in its current state.
The location is rural and mountainous. This means distances to the coast and beaches are significant; the nearest beach (Playa del Saladillo) is 33 km away. The distance to Málaga International Airport is 59 km. The house has 2 bathrooms for 6 bedrooms, a ratio that may feel limiting during intensive use by multiple adults. The estate is large and requires maintenance of the olive trees and outdoor areas.
This project suits buyers looking for an undisturbed residence with extensive land and opportunities for agriculture or nature lovers. It fits a large family or those needing significant space for workspaces or guest quarters. The location in Ronda appeals to those wishing to escape the liveliness of the coast while maintaining urban amenities. It is also suitable for those considering equestrian activities or agro-ventures, given the plot size. Less suitable for those wanting to live right by the beach or who do not wish to maintain a large estate.
The house is built in a traditional Andalusian style. As seen in the images, it features a staircase with red tiled treads, a classic element. Bathrooms are equipped with showers and sinks; the finish appears functional. The kitchen is fully equipped and independent. Outside, there are paved areas around the pool and a pergola for the barbecue. Air conditioning is present, essential for the hot Ronda summers. The maintenance status is listed as 'Excellent'.
The asking price for Fuente Dulce is set at €2,900,000. This is a fixed amount for the entire finca including 10 hectares of land. There is no variation in housing type on this estate; the buyer takes the existing dwelling and land as is. Given the size of the plot, the price per square meter of land is limited, but the total investment is substantial. Comparable properties in the Ronda region with this amount of land are rare, making the pricing unique.
Living at Fuente Dulce means residing away from the hustle of the coast, amidst the nature of the Serranía de Ronda. The day begins with views over the valley and olive groves. Because the estate spans 10 hectares, there is total seclusion from neighbors; one primarily hears the wind and birds. In the morning, fresh coffee can be fetched from a supermarket within walking distance, or one can visit a bakery in Ronda. The afternoon can be spent on the terrace by the pool, situated on the north side, where shade is sought during the hottest hours. Evenings offer space for dinners under the pergola (barbecue area), looking out at mountain peaks. The climate here is more continental than on the coast; nights are cooler due to the altitude (around 590 meters). It is a place for those needing space, silence, and direct contact with the agrarian environment. The proximity to Ronda (1 km) ensures one is not isolated; cultural facilities, hospitals, and restaurants are nearby.
The environment of Fuente Dulce is defined by the city of Ronda and the rugged nature of the Serranía de Ronda. Ronda is a historic town with 28,758 inhabitants, situated at 718 meters altitude. Amenities in the immediate vicinity are excellent for a rural location: a supermarket is within walking distance (127 m) and a pharmacy at 91 m. The hospital is 3.0 km away. There are 8 restaurants and 2 schools within a 2 km radius. Air quality is generally good in this mountainous area.
The map shows the location of Fuente Dulce relative to Ronda and the surrounding olive groves. The distance to the coastline (Marbella Estepona) is clearly visible, highlighting the rural setting.
The location is unique within the Costa del Sol region; it is one of the few places where one can have a huge plot within a short distance of a historic city (Ronda), without being directly on the busy coastline. It positions itself as an 'inland' alternative to coastal projects in Málaga. The distance to Marbella is greater, but the connection is good.
The property is accessible via a local road connecting to roads around Ronda. A car is practical for groceries, but basic amenities are within walking distance. The distance to Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 59 km (as the crow flies), meaning approximately 50-60 minutes of driving. Gibraltar Airport is 74 km away. The beach (Playa del Saladillo) is 33 km away, a drive of about 30-40 minutes. Golf courses are further afield, such as La Zagaleta Country Club at 26 km and Marbella Club Golf Resort at 29 km. The nearest train station is Arriate at 0.9 km.

Compared to coastal projects (like Arosa in Mijas or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola), Fuente Dulce offers a completely different lifestyle. While coastal projects (starting from €360,000) mostly offer apartments or houses on smaller plots with direct beach access, here one primarily buys space, nature, and silence. The price of €2,900,000 reflects not the amount of living space (200 m²), but mainly the value of the 10 hectares of land. For buyers looking for land investment and privacy, this is a unique offering in the Málaga region, apart from the ultra-luxury urbanizations on the coast where plots are also large but prices per square meter are often many times higher.
