This project features a resale townhouse in Yunquera, situated within the Sierra de las Nieves mountain range. The property has a living area of 74 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Located at an altitude of 688 meters, the climate is cooler than the coast during summer. The property is listed for sale from €85,000, making it an accessible entry point in this area. Local amenities such as a supermarket and pharmacy are within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in the urban area of Yunquera. A supermarket is located 263 meters away for daily shopping. The pharmacy is found 207 meters from the property. The setting is inland and mountainous.
The layout includes two bedrooms, suitable for a small household or couple. Two bathrooms are present. The total living space measures 74 m², distributed across multiple floors.
This is a resale property. The construction is traditional for the region, featuring natural stone walls and a partially fitted kitchen. A fireplace is included for heating.
The property does not have a private driveway or garage; parking is available on the public street. There is no communal swimming pool. Due to the elevation, there is no direct sea view.
This fits individuals seeking a traditional home with character in an authentic village. The significant height differences within the house (stairs) make it less suitable for those with limited mobility. For those who enjoy peace, nature, and hiking, this is a good base. The distance to the coast (25 kilometers) makes it less suitable for those wishing to visit the beach daily, but suitable for those who appreciate the natural inland environment over busy coastal tourism.
The home includes a stone fireplace in the living room, an important heating element for the colder winter months in the mountains. The kitchen is partially fitted. The walls are traditionally whitewashed. There are multiple terraces, one equipped with a barbecue. The construction may require maintenance to the roof and walls given the age and mountain location. The furniture can optionally be taken over, facilitating the moving process.
The asking price for this project starts from €85,000. Only one unit is available, meaning price ranges are limited. Be aware that additional costs apply when purchasing in Spain, such as transfer tax (ITP), notary fees, and registration fees. These amounts are not included in the asking price.
Yunquera offers a living environment centered around the 'pueblo' lifestyle. The day often begins with a visit to the local bakery or supermarket, both within walking distance. Since the home sits at 688 meters, night temperatures are more pleasant than on the coast. The property features multiple terraces, including a rooftop terrace. Here, you can enjoy the evening air and views of the mountains. It is an environment where much time is spent outdoors, utilizing village plazas and local tapas bars nearby.
Yunquera has a population of approximately 3,300 people. There are two schools and five restaurants nearby. The area is known for its tranquility and fresh air. For walkers and nature lovers, there are various routes, such as to Mirador Los Penasquillos (1 km). The population is a mix of locals and a small group of international residents. It is an area where people know each other and the pace of life is slow.
The map shows the position of the home in the center of Yunquera. You see the proximity to amenities like the supermarket (263m) and the pharmacy (207m). The green surroundings indicate the presence of natural areas.
The Sierra de las Nieves is a protected nature area and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Yunquera is located in the east of the province of Malaga, 63 kilometers from the capital. It is one of the 'pueblos blancos'. The region is characterized by steep slopes and forests. Compared to busy coastal towns, this is a quiet, rural environment.
Malaga Airport is located 37 kilometers away. This implies a drive of approximately 45 minutes. The nearest beaches are 25 kilometers away, placing the beach about a 30-40 minute drive away. For daily groceries, the supermarket is 263 meters within walking distance. A car is recommended for excursions, but not strictly necessary for basic amenities.

Compared to coastal projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) or Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), the price of this project in Yunquera (€85,000) is significantly lower. This difference reflects the location; on the coast, one pays for proximity to the beach and sea, whereas Yunquera offers value in terms of tranquility, nature, and authenticity. Compared to Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000), this project offers a more traditional, rural living experience without the facilities of a luxury resort, but with direct access to natural beauty and a close-knit community. For buyers with a lower budget or a specific preference for inland living, this is a logical alternative.
