This renovated finca is situated in the Málaga hinterland, near the mountain village of Gibralgalia. With a living area of 260 m² and a plot of 62,000 m², the property offers substantial space and privacy. Located at approximately 388 meters above sea level, the home boasts panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The residence features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and several terraces, including a private swimming pool. The distance to the coast is approximately 25 kilometers (15 miles), and Málaga Airport is accessible within 24 kilometers.
Compared to coastal projects like Astra Homes in Fuengirola (from €364,000) or Waterfall Residences (from €720,000), this object in Gibralgalia offers significantly more land for a lower or comparable price. While one pays for location and luxury facilities in Fuengirola, this project offers value in terms of space and autonomy. The distance to the beach is the main trade-off: 15 miles inland versus direct coastal locations. Compared to the Arosa project in Mijas (from €490,000), this project is financially more accessible but more rural and less touristically developed.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is located in a rural zone of the Guadalhorce Valley. The area is characterized by mountainous terrain and extensive farmland. The village of Gibralgalia is a short distance away. The elevation of 388 meters above sea level provides views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. Access roads are rural, and car use is necessary.
This property meets the desire for independence and space. The large plot area offers opportunities for agriculture or hobbies. The layout with four bedrooms is suitable for families or hosting guests. The presence of a fireplace contributes to comfort during cooler periods.
This involves an existing home (resale) that has been recently renovated. The condition is described as good. No new construction planning applies; the home is available for immediate occupancy. Handover is short-term.
This project does not offer beach access or shops within walking distance. It is not an apartment complex with shared amenities. The location is not suitable for those reliant on public transport or seeking an urban environment. The swimming pool does not have a filter system.
This project is relevant for buyers actively seeking a home with extensive land and agricultural potential. The situation suits those who do not need direct contact with tourist centers and prefer a rural lifestyle. This includes owners who value privacy, space for self-sufficiency, or a place for pets. It is also an option for those wishing to develop a small-scale activity, subject to regulations.
The home is renovated and in a good state of maintenance. Internal finishes include a traditional fireplace in the living room, providing warmth in winter. The kitchen is partially fitted, allowing for personal customization. The bathrooms are equipped with showers. Outdoors, various terraces, both covered and open, extend the functionality of the living space. Materials and finishes indicate a functional character typical of a cortijo.
The asking price for this finca is set at €332,500. This includes a plot of 6.2 hectares and a living area of 260 m². The price point is indicative for this property type in the region. No additional service fees for communal facilities apply, as it is a detached home.
This location is defined by tranquility and spatial freedom. Daily life here primarily unfolds on the private grounds. Due to the secluded setting, nighttime silence is significant. The immediate surroundings consist of woods and fields, ensuring a direct connection with nature. Daily shopping requires a car, as the nearest supermarket is 3.4 miles away. The atmosphere is that of a traditional Andalusian countryside village with a small but tight-knit community. The climate, averaging 3,846 sunshine hours per year, allows for outdoor living on the terraces for most of the year.
The immediate environment offers facilities for basic needs within a radius of a few kilometers. A pharmacy is located 2.5 miles away, and a supermarket at 3.4 miles. For extensive shopping and medical care, a trip to the coastal towns or Málaga city is required. Accessibility is car-dependent. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 15 miles away as the crow flies. Recreational offerings in the immediate vicinity are limited to hiking and nature appreciation.
The map shows the location of the finca in Gibralgalia, surrounded by mountainous terrain. Distances to the coast (15 miles/25 km) and the airport (15 miles/24 km) are as the crow flies. Road connections to Málaga city are visible.
Gibralgalia is situated in the Guadalhorce Valley, northwest of Málaga city. This region marks the transition from the coastal strip to the hinterland. It is an area known for the production of citrus fruits and olives. The location is central relative to the airport and the city of Málaga, making it a strategic spot for those wanting access to the city while living in a rural environment.
The project is in a rural location. The nearest beaches, such as Playa Torreblanca, are approximately 15 miles (25 km) away. This is about a 30-minute drive. Several golf courses are available in the region, with Lauro Golf being the nearest at 10 miles. Public transport is limited; there is one line with 11 stops in the area, but a car is essential for mobility. Gibraltar Airport is reached after a drive of approximately 48 miles (78 km).

Although the project is inland, the beaches of the Costa del Sol are easily accessible. At a distance of 15 miles (25 km), you will find the beaches of Fuengirola (Playa de los Boliches and Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal). For golfers, there are multiple options: Lauro Golf (10 miles) and Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (13 miles). The immediate surroundings are excellent for hiking, horse riding, and mountain biking through the mountainous terrain.
