This project features a traditional townhouse located in the center of Yunquera, Málaga. Boasting a living area of 176 m², the property includes four bedrooms and one bathroom. The home is described as being in good condition, though renovation is desired to fully unlock its potential. The plot includes a private garden, a covered terrace, and a rooftop solarium. Situated inland at approximately 688 meters above sea level, 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 nestled in the core of Yunquera, an urban environment inland from the Costa del Sol. The immediate surroundings offer facilities within walking distance, including shops for daily groceries. The location is central to the village, fostering a connection with the local community. The distance to the coast is approximately 25 kilometers.
This townhouse fulfills the basic need for spacious accommodation in a village setting. With four bedrooms, it provides ample volume for a family. The presence of a private garden and a sunny rooftop terrace contributes to outdoor livability. For buyers seeking a property with character and scope for personal customization, this offers the necessary space.
The property is not new construction but an existing traditional dwelling that comes fully furnished. The current owner has left the house turnkey. The structural condition is good, excluding the required renovation works. No specific new build completion date applies.
The project does not feature modern luxury facilities such as a private swimming pool or a community garden complex. The number of bathrooms is limited to one, which may present a logistical constraint for multiple occupants. The location is inland, meaning the beach is not directly accessible. A car is necessary for major shopping or excursions.
This project fits well with buyers looking for a 'fixer-upper' with space and character. It is suitable for individuals or families who prefer to spend their winters in a quiet, historical environment rather than a busy tourist resort. The home offers the opportunity to leave a personal mark on the layout and finishes. For investors recognizing the potential of the hinterland, this is an option to acquire a property at a low entry price and increase value through renovation.
The home is traditionally built with materials characteristic of the region, such as wooden beams and masonry. The current finish is functional but dated. The kitchen is fully equipped, as is the rest of the house sold with furniture. To meet modern living standards, renovation is necessary, with particular attention needed for the bathroom and layout. The structure features a fireplace for heating during the cooler months.
The asking price for this townhouse is set starting from €110,000. Given the surface area of 176 m² and the inclusion of furniture, this positions the property in the segment of affordable starter homes in the region. The pricing reflects the necessary renovation work the buyer must consider. Comparable properties in the coastal strip, such as in Estepona or Benalmádena, show significantly higher prices, ranging from €320,000 to €699,000 for new build projects.
Yunquera presents itself as an authentic Andalusian village, interwoven with the daily lives of its over 3300 residents. The location at 688 meters above sea level offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Life here follows the rhythm of the countryside; mornings often begin with a visit to the local bakery or supermarket, located just a few hundred meters away. The presence of several schools in the vicinity underscores the family-friendly nature of the location. The 32 local holidays per year ensure a lively community where traditions are honored.

The map shows the central location of the home in Yunquera. The surroundings are rural with direct access to village amenities and routes towards the coast and the mountainous hinterland.
Within the Málaga region, Yunquera holds a unique position as a 'Pueblo Blanco' in the interior. It offers a contrast to the bustling tourism of the coast. The location suits those seeking tranquility while remaining connected to the amenities of the Costa del Sol. The property presents itself as an affordable alternative to the more expensive coastal towns.
Malaga Airport is located 37 kilometers away as the crow flies, which translates to approximately 40 to 50 minutes by car. The nearest beaches, such as Playa de Casablanca, are 25 kilometers away. For daily amenities, one does not have to travel far: a supermarket is 263 meters away and a pharmacy at 207 meters. A hospital is accessible at 20 kilometers.

Compared to coastal projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (€418,800) or Alba in Benalmádena (€699,000), this object in Yunquera is financially more accessible. While coastal projects offer modern luxury and pools, this inland project offers space and authenticity. The price per square meter is significantly lower, primarily due to the distance to the sea and necessary renovation. However, for buyers prioritizing peace and community over beach tourism, Yunquera offers a valuable alternative. Rental possibilities differ; coastal projects focus on holiday letting, whereas this object is more suitable for long-term occupancy or the local rental market.
