A key-ready semi-detached house of 165 m² on a 340 m² plot in Frigiliana, in the hills above Nerja on the eastern Costa del Sol. Completed in 2004 and spread over three levels, the property offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private pool, and panoramic views of the sea and mountains. The asking price is fixed at €950,000 and the home is sold fully furnished. Daily amenities are within walking distance, while the beaches of Nerja lie roughly 5.2 km away as the crow flies. Málaga Airport sits approximately 55 km from the village.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in an urban setting on the edge of Frigiliana, a white village in La Axarquía at 319 m above sea level, about 6 km north of Nerja. A supermarket is 184 m away and a pharmacy 25 m, so daily shopping is possible on foot. The municipality records around 3,383 inhabitants, which keeps the setting small-scale outside the tourist season.
The layout suits buyers seeking three bedrooms and three bathrooms with separated day and night zones. The entrance level holds the kitchen, guest toilet and living room with fireplace; the level below holds the bedrooms; the ground floor opens onto the pool terrace. The pool, barbecue area, solarium and storage room support both permanent residence and holiday use.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2004 and the property is described as key-ready, sold fully furnished for immediate move-in. The condition is listed as excellent. The ground-floor multi-purpose room, currently used as an art studio, could be converted into a separate studio apartment, subject to permissions.
The property has three bedrooms and 165 m² of living space; larger households may find the capacity limited. No garage is listed, only private parking. The nearest golf course lies about 53 km away by air, so this is not a golf-side location. The house is built on a slope with internal stairs between levels, which affects step-free accessibility. The beach requires a drive.
The property fits several recognisable situations. A couple or small family seeking a permanent home in a genuine Spanish village will find walking-distance amenities, a health centre in town and schooling in the wider area, 7 primary and 2 secondary schools are registered in the municipality's surroundings. Buyers wanting a second home with rental or guest potential benefit from the separate ground-floor room and the pool, while Frigiliana's tourism profile (22 hotels, over 2,400 beds) supports seasonal demand. It also suits anyone prioritising views and village character over beachfront living: the sea is visible from two bedrooms and the terraces, but the sand is a drive or bus ride away. Hobbyists or home workers will value the studio space and the storage room. Less obvious fits are households needing step-free access throughout, given the stairs between the three levels, or buyers for whom golf proximity matters, the nearest courses lie roughly 53 to 57 km away as the crow flies. Winter sports are accessible, with the Sierra Nevada around an hour and a half by car according to the seller's description, but that is a seasonal trip rather than a daily option.
The house dates from 2004 and is reported in excellent condition, key-ready and fully furnished, which shortens the gap between purchase and occupation. The specification includes a fully equipped kitchen with washing machine, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, a fireplace in the living room and en-suite facilities in one bedroom. The listing does not mention air conditioning; climate control currently rests on the fireplace and the natural ventilation that an elevated, sloped position can provide, buyers with summer comfort expectations should verify this during a viewing. The construction follows the terrain: three stepped levels connected by internal stairs, with the entrance level holding kitchen, guest toilet and living room, the middle level the bedrooms, and the ground floor opening onto the pool terrace. Because the house is built into a slope, the basement area receives windows and natural light, which distinguishes it from a typical dark sotano and underpins its current use as an art studio. Outdoor areas include the pool, a barbecue zone, a solarium and a low-maintenance garden on the 340 m² plot. Practicalities such as fitted storage and a private parking space are present. No energy performance certificate details or community charges are stated in the available data, so buyers should request these documents, along with the technical inspection report typical for a property of this age, before committing.
This is an existing home with a fixed asking price of €950,000, not a from-price. The amount covers the full property: 165 m² of living space on a 340 m² plot, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, private pool, private parking, solarium and storage room, sold fully furnished. Compared with regional new-build alternatives, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, this property commands a premium tied to its plot size, village position and views rather than new construction. Frigiliana records around 501 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but small local market. Availability is immediate, given the key-ready status.
Living here centres on a hillside rhythm shaped by the village and the view. Mornings can start on the entrance-level terrace, where the sea horizon frames breakfast, before a short walk into Frigiliana for bread, coffee or errands, the supermarket is under 200 m away and the pharmacy closer still. The village centre is roughly a fifteen-minute walk, and the nearest restaurant less than five minutes on foot. The municipal sports hall and open-air swimming pool sit about 400 m from the house, which makes local exercise simple without a car. Midday often gravitates toward the pool level at the bottom of the house, two flights below the living room, where the terrace, barbecue area and solarium create an outdoor living zone oriented toward the sea. The multi-purpose ground-floor room adds flexibility: at present it serves as an art studio, and with conversion it could become a self-contained studio or guest space. Evenings are quiet; with around 3,400 inhabitants, Frigiliana remains a functioning Andalusian town year-round rather than a seasonal resort. The beaches of Nerja lie about 5.2 km away as the crow flies, a ten-minute drive in practice, and the regular bus service between Nerja and Frigiliana offers an alternative. A car is useful for the coast, the hospital 17 km away and airport runs, but not strictly necessary for daily needs.
The immediate surroundings combine village convenience with hillside quiet. Within 2 km the data lists 26 restaurants, 3 cafés, 3 banks, a pharmacy, a school and a park, a density that reflects both the resident population and steady tourism. The pharmacy is 25 m from the door and the supermarket 184 m, which places daily errands firmly within walking range. The municipal sports hall and swimming pool lie about 400 m downhill, and a viewpoint at Mirador de la avenida Carlos Cano is 200 m away, useful for anyone who enjoys short evening walks. For healthcare beyond the local centre, the hospital is 17 km away as the crow flies. The village sits at 319 m elevation on the flank of the Sierra del Almijara, so streets are steep in places and walking involves gradients, a normal feature of Axarquía hill towns. Public transport exists, with 8 lines and 13 stops recorded, including the bus link to Nerja. A car remains the practical choice for the coast, hospital visits and airport transfers, but it is not essential for day-to-day living.
The map shows the house on the southern edge of Frigiliana, with Nerja's beaches 5.2 km to the south-east as the crow flies and the Sierra del Almijara rising behind. Straight-line distances to Málaga city, the airport and Granada give a sense of the wider region. Street-level gradients in the village are visible on the terrain view.

Frigiliana occupies the eastern end of the Costa del Sol, in La Axarquía, about 6 km inland from Nerja and 71 km by road east of Málaga city (48 km straight-line), which with roughly 579,000 inhabitants provides the region's full urban services. Granada lies 50 km as the crow flies, placing the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada within day-trip range. Marbella, 94 km straight-line, sits on the western side of the coast and represents a different, resort-driven market. Frigiliana's position, inland, elevated, village-scale, sets it apart from the coastal strip while keeping the beach within a short drive.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances run longer. The nearest beaches, Playa Burriana, Playa Piedra de Tarzán and Playa Carabeillo, all lie 5.2 km away in Nerja, reachable in about ten minutes by car or by the regular bus. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 55 km away, roughly a 45-minute drive according to the seller's description. Alternative airports are Gibraltar at 148 km and Alicante-Elche at 338 km. Golf is a notable distance: the closest listed courses, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez and Club de Golf de Guadalhorce, sit 53 to 57 km away, although the seller references Baviera Golf at a twenty-minute drive. An EV charging point is available 4.2 km away. Within the village itself, supermarket, pharmacy, banks and restaurants are on foot, supported by 8 bus lines and 13 stops locally.

Frigiliana's climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.3 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 13 °C in the coolest months to 26 °C in summer, a classic Mediterranean profile softened by elevation. At 319 m above sea level, the house sits high enough for sea breezes to lose some strength, which typically means warmer summer evenings than on the coast and cooler winter nights. The swimming season in local waters lasts about four months at sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, which matches the pattern of pool use described for the property. The Sierra del Almijara rises directly behind the village, giving hiking terrain at the doorstep and the mountain views recorded from the terraces. Rainfall is modest and concentrated outside summer, consistent with the dry-summer pattern of southern Andalusia. The hillside position means the plot slopes and internal levels step down, a trade-off that buys the panoramic sea and mountain outlook.

The coastline of Nerja, 5.2 km away as the crow flies, provides the main beach resource: Playa Burriana is the largest and best-served strand in the area, with Playa Carabeillo and Playa Piedra de Tarzán nearby. The ten-minute drive or the regular bus makes a swim-and-lunch outing straightforward. In the village itself, recreation leans on local facilities: the Pabellón Municipal de Deportes and the Piscina Municipal with a children's pool are about 400 m from the house, and the region counts 11 sports facilities in total, including the Club de Petanca in Nerja. Two viewpoints within 1.3 km, the Mirador de la avenida Carlos Cano at 200 m, reward short walks with elevated views over the valley and sea. Golf requires commitment: the closest listed clubs lie 53 km or more away, though the seller cites Baviera Golf some twenty minutes out by car. In winter, the Sierra Nevada ski area near Granada is around ninety minutes' drive, allowing a morning on the slopes and an afternoon at sea level, weather permitting.

Set against the wider Costa del Sol market, this property represents a distinctly inland village proposition. New-build comparables on the coast, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, deliver modern apartments at a fraction of the €950,000 fixed asking price here. The premium buys a different product: a detached-feeling semi with private pool, three bathrooms, panoramic sea-and-mountain views and a 340 m² plot in one of Andalusia's most decorated white villages, roughly 6 km from Nerja. Geographically, Frigiliana sits at the eastern end of the coast: Málaga city is 48 km away as the crow flies (about 71 km by road), Granada 50 km and Marbella 94 km. The eastern Axarquía generally trades at lower prices than the Marbella-Estepona belt, and Torre del Mar is the nearest coastal comparison point, some 20 km east of Nerja along the shore. What the coastal new-builds offer, flat access, communal pools, developer warranties, energy-efficient construction, this house answers with space, views, character and walkable village amenities, including a supermarket under 200 m away. Its compromises are equally clear: stairs between three levels, a 5.2 km straight-line distance to the beach, golf courses over 50 km away and a 2004 build that lacks a new-build certificate. For buyers weighing village authenticity against resort convenience, the trade-off is largely between these two positions rather than between competing price points.
