Located in the heart of the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, this property in Toloz presents a 168 m² townhouse designed for countryside living. The residence features five bedrooms and is positioned in a quiet, rural setting. Essential amenities like a pharmacy are within walking distance (189 m), while the coast and airport are accessible by car. The property includes a large basement with separate access and a roof solarium, offering potential for expansion. The home is sold unfurnished, allowing buyers to customize the interior to their preference.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in Toloz, Malaga, a municipality surrounded by the Sierra Blanca and Sierra Parda mountain ranges. The setting is rural, positioned at an elevation of 323 meters above sea level. The immediate environment consists of village architecture and natural landscapes. The coastline is located approximately 19 kilometers away as the crow flies.
With 168 m² of space and five bedrooms, this property addresses a high demand for sleeping quarters. The layout spans multiple levels, providing natural separation of living zones. Functional outdoor living is facilitated by a covered terrace and a roof solarium, essential given the lack of a large ground-floor garden. The basement offers an adaptable space for a workshop or guest suite, distinct from the main living area.
This is a resale property in excellent condition, not a new build development. It is immediately available. The previous owner has explored architectural plans for a rooftop jacuzzi, for which electrical provisions are already in place, but this feature is currently unfinished, allowing the new owner to decide on its implementation.
Due to the inland location, the beach is not within walking distance, situated over 19 kilometers away. There is no private parking; residents must use street parking. The property is unfurnished. Daily life requires a car for access to supermarkets and hospitals, as local amenities are limited to basic village facilities.
This property suits buyers seeking an unspoiled, rural environment who do not require immediate beach access. It fits individuals comfortable with driving and who prioritize space over luxury finishes. The setup is relevant for those willing to undertake a project, such as finishing the basement, or for families needing multiple bedrooms at a lower entry price than the coast. It is less suitable for those reliant on public transport or seeking all amenities within walking distance.
The property is listed in 'Excellent' condition, though images show an unfinished basement. The kitchen is fully fitted. Materials used are standard for the region, such as tiling in the bathroom. Technical provisions are functional; electricity and drinking water are connected. The presence of electrical wiring on the roof terrace indicates preparedness for future amenities like a jacuzzi. The finish is neat but offers room for personalization, particularly regarding the basement.
The listing price for this townhouse is set at €195,000. This represents the asking price for the entire property. Compared to coastal projects in Estepona or Benalmádena, the price per square meter is significantly lower. The price excludes furniture and costs associated with potential renovations, such as completing the jacuzzi installation.
Living in Toloz means residing in a mountain village deeply connected to nature. Mornings are quiet, with daily life revolving around the village rhythm. Because of the elevation, temperatures are cooler in the evenings, making the 'sun lounge' and roof solarium integral parts of the living space, replacing a garden. The basement provides a retreat for work or guests, adding functional square meters without expanding the footprint. The proximity of a pharmacy (189 m) indicates basic walkability, but reliance on a car is mandatory for major shopping trips. It is a setting suited for those who prefer the tranquility of the mountains over the busyness of the coast.
The environment is dominated by the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, offering clean air and protected scenery. The village offers basic amenities: a few restaurants, a bank, and a school. For larger purchases, residents travel to nearby towns like Coín or towards the coast. While there are 8 sports facilities in the broader area, specific amenities like golf courses are about 19 km away, requiring a car trip.
The map highlights Toloz's mountainous position inland from Marbella. The distance to the coastline and the location within the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park are visible. The green surroundings and absence of major highways nearby are notable features.
Within the Malaga region, Toloz holds a unique position as a gateway to the interior. It differs significantly from coastal resorts; there is no high-rise architecture and the tourism is of a different scale. It is one of the 'Pueblos Blancos', maintaining a distinct village character. Its proximity to Marbella allows benefiting from the coastal economy, while retaining a separate, quieter identity.

Compared to coastal developments like Acqua Gardens in Estepona or Alba in Benalmádena, this project is significantly more affordable (€195,000 vs. €418,800+). The trade-off is the product type: fewer shared amenities (no community pool/gardens) and distance from the sea. Instead of 'beach life', one buys 'mountain life'. Compared to nearby towns like Coín, Toloz is quieter and more embedded in nature. For buyers prioritizing space (5 bedrooms) and privacy over luxury amenities and sea views, this location offers a better price-value ratio than the coast. While not new build, the price competes favorably with smaller, inland new-build apartments.
