A detached villa on a 1,440 m² plot in the Valle del Sol area of the Costa del Sol, offered at a fixed asking price of €1,550,000. The property provides 80 m² of living space with two bedrooms and one bathroom, completed in 2000 and now available for immediate occupancy. The home has been recently renovated and includes a private swimming pool, a garden with new irrigation, a covered terrace, air conditioning and parking for four cars. The plot carries an approved buildable area of up to 277 m², allowing future expansion. Distances given are straight-line; road distances may be longer.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in an urban environment near the coast, within the Valle del Sol area. A supermarket lies 259 m away, a pharmacy 201 m, and a hospital 1.1 km, all measured in a straight line. Beaches such as Playa de San Andrés and Playa de la Misericordia are approximately 3.1 km away. The airport is 4.8 km distant. A car is convenient but not essential for every trip, and eleven public transport lines serve the wider area.
The property functions as a family residence with outdoor space as its main asset: a 1,440 m² plot, a private pool with a hot shower, a large children's playground and a garden with renewed irrigation. Indoor space is limited at 80 m² with two bedrooms and one bathroom, though a 20 m² reformed storage room can be converted into a guest bedroom. Parquet flooring, air conditioning and a fireplace cover basic comfort requirements.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home completed in 2000. It is key-ready and described as recently renovated and refurbished. Utilities, including water, electricity and garden irrigation, have recently been upgraded. The plot has an approved buildable area of up to 277 m², giving scope for expansion, subject to the applicable municipal planning framework. Any completion or construction dates are indicative.
The villa offers two bedrooms and one bathroom within 80 m² of living space, which is modest relative to the plot size and price point. The interior therefore does not currently match the outdoor capacity. Expansion is possible but requires construction work, permits and additional investment. No communal facilities such as a gym or concierge are listed. Buyers seeking a move-in-ready large family home should note the current layout limitations.

This property suits several recognisable situations. A buyer with a long-term plan may see the plot and the approved 277 m² buildable area as the core asset, accepting a compact 80 m² home initially and expanding later into a larger villa. Families with young children benefit from the on-site playground, the fenced private pool and the garden, while the two current bedrooms limit household size unless the storage room conversion proceeds. Buyers prioritising outdoor living over interior square metres will find the ratio here unusual for the price segment. Those seeking a turnkey, spacious residence without construction work should weigh the current layout carefully. The location also works for buyers who want proximity to both coast and city: beaches around 3.1 km away, a hospital at 1.1 km and the airport at 4.8 km, all straight-line distances. Golfers have three courses within 8.8 km. Purchasers who value walking-distance daily amenities, supermarket at 259 m, pharmacy at 201 m, and reasonable public transport coverage can manage without a car for many errands. Finally, the property may interest those who want a renovation-and-expansion project in an established urbanisation rather than a new-build apartment, accepting the coordination, permits and timelines that such works involve.
The villa dates from 2000 and has undergone recent renovation and refurbishment, described in the source data as recent across several systems. The interior features parquet flooring throughout, fitted wardrobes and a fireplace complementing air conditioning. The technical installations have been renewed: water, electricity and garden irrigation were recently upgraded, which reduces the likelihood of immediate maintenance works on these systems. The private swimming pool is newly constructed with what the data describes as quality materials and includes a hot water shower. A community well supplies garden irrigation, lowering annual water costs. The 20 m² storage room has been reformed and is convertible into a guest or service bedroom. Outdoor areas include a covered terrace and private terraces oriented south, supporting sun exposure through the day. The property is connected to full utility supplies. What the home does not currently offer is the interior scale of newer villas in the region: 80 m² of living space with one bathroom. Buyers comparing finish levels should distinguish between the renewed systems, pool, irrigation, utilities, storage, and the original 2000 building envelope, whose construction standards predate current new-build requirements. Any expansion towards the approved 277 m² would be new construction under current building regulations, allowing modern insulation and installation standards to be applied at that stage.
The property is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €1,550,000, not a starting price. For this amount, the buyer acquires 80 m² of built living space on a 1,440 m² plot, completed in 2000 and recently renovated, with a private pool, parking for four cars and an approved buildable area of up to 277 m². Much of the value sits in the land, the outdoor facilities and the expansion rights rather than in the current built area. Comparable new-build projects in the region, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €524,600) and Alba Benalmadena (from €598,000), are priced per unit but do not offer equivalent plot sizes. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready.
Daily life at this property is organised around its outdoor spaces. Mornings can be spent on the covered terrace or by the recently constructed private pool, which includes a hot water shower. The garden has new irrigation supplied partly by community well water, which reduces running costs, and a large children's play area occupies part of the plot. The 1,440 m² grounds offer parking for four cars and a 20 m² reformed storage room that can serve as a guest or service bedroom. Indoors, the 80 m² layout with two bedrooms, one bathroom, parquet floors, air conditioning and a fireplace covers essential needs but keeps daily life compact. The surrounding neighbourhood is urban with amenities within walking distance: a supermarket at 259 m and a pharmacy at 201 m in a direct line, plus a hospital 1.1 km away. Restaurants, cafés and banks cluster within two kilometres. Views over the La Concha mountain give the plot a green, elevated backdrop despite its low elevation of 27 m above sea level. The climate supports outdoor use for most of the year, with average monthly temperatures between 12 and 26 °C and an annual average of 19.1 °C. The swimming season runs about five months with water at or above 20 °C. Eleven public transport lines with fifty stops in the area mean a car is convenient rather than strictly necessary.
The immediate surroundings are urban and well served. Within a straight-line radius of two kilometres, the area counts 138 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks and 25 cafés, alongside three dentists. The nearest supermarket sits 259 m away and the nearest pharmacy 201 m, making daily errands feasible on foot. A hospital lies 1.1 km distant. Public transport consists of eleven lines with fifty stops, so trips without a car are realistic for routine journeys, though a car remains convenient for beaches, golf and airport runs. The beaches of Playa de San Andrés and Playa de la Misericordia are both about 3.1 km away as the crow flies, with Playa Sacaba Beach at 3.9 km. Two marinas, IGY Málaga Marina (4.5 km) and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo (4.7 km), extend the leisure offer. Sports facilities close by include a tennis school at 0.6 km and two municipal sports venues at 1.1 km. Electric-vehicle charging points are available at 642 m, with further options at 0.7 and 1.8 km. The local population of roughly 77,700 supports year-round services rather than a purely seasonal economy.
The map shows the villa's position between the coast and the city: beaches just over three kilometres to the east, the airport 4.8 km to the north-east, and daily amenities, supermarket, pharmacy, hospital, clustered within little more than a kilometre. Note that all distances are straight-line; road routes are longer.

Valle del Sol occupies a position in the Málaga coastal zone, roughly 48 km straight-line from Málaga city and within reach of both Marbella and Algeciras (66 km). The location combines urban convenience, walking-distance shops and services, eleven bus lines, with coastal leisure at three to four kilometres. This places it closer to the airport (4.8 km) than most Costa del Sol resorts, at the cost of a more built-up setting than inland or Estepona-area alternatives. The regional context is metropolitan Málaga rather than the resort belt of Marbella centre.
Accessibility is a strong feature of this location. The airport lies 4.8 km away in a direct line, one of the shorter airport distances on the coast, though road travel will take longer. Beaches are reachable at approximately 3.1 km straight-line for both Playa de San Andrés and Playa de la Misericordia, and 3.9 km for Playa Sacaba Beach. Golfers can reach Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 5.9 km, Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 6.4 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 8.8 km. Daily needs are met on foot: supermarket at 259 m, pharmacy at 201 m, hospital at 1.1 km. By car, the position connects efficiently to Málaga city, roughly 48 km straight-line, and to the wider Costa del Sol. Gibraltar airport is about 58 km away in a direct line. With eleven bus lines and fifty stops nearby, public transport covers local movement adequately; a car adds comfort for coastal and airport trips but is not required for every errand. All distances are straight-line and actual road distances are longer.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean pattern: average monthly temperatures range from 12 °C in the coolest months to 26 °C in summer, with an annual average of 19.1 °C. The swimming season lasts around five months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20 °C, aligning pool and beach use from late spring to early autumn. The property stands at 27 m above sea level, so the terrain is essentially flat and access involves no significant slopes. Orientation is south, which maximises terrace and pool sun exposure throughout the year. The mountain views towards La Concha provide a green visual backdrop and indicate the proximity of the Sierra Blanca foothills without affecting day-to-day living comfort. The large garden and playground benefit from the mild winters, remaining usable outside the summer months, and the community well water for irrigation helps manage garden costs during the dry summer period. Rainfall concentrates outside the summer season, so outdoor plans dominate from May onwards.

Three beaches sit within roughly four kilometres: Playa de San Andrés and Playa de la Misericordia both at 3.1 km straight-line, and Playa Sacaba Beach at 3.9 km. These are urban west-coast beaches close to Málaga city, suitable for regular day visits rather than long journeys. Golf is well represented, with Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 5.9 km, Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 6.4 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 8.8 km, offering three courses within a short drive. Two marinas, IGY Málaga Marina (4.5 km) and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo (4.7 km), cater to boating and waterfront dining. Closer to home, an Escuela de Tenis Cortijo Alto tennis school lies 0.6 km away, and the Pabellón Deportivo and Campo de Fútbol Tiro de Pichón sports facilities are both 1.1 km distant. On the plot itself, the private pool, the hot shower and the children's playground provide daily recreation without leaving the property.

Within the regional market, this villa occupies a distinct niche compared with the new-build projects commonly listed along the Costa del Sol. Comparable developments such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €524,600), Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000) and Alba Benalmadena (from €598,000) offer modern apartments at per-unit prices well below the €1,550,000 fixed asking price here. The comparison, however, is not like-for-like: those projects deliver contemporary apartments with communal facilities, whereas this property delivers a 1,440 m² private plot with a detached villa, a private pool and expansion rights to 277 m² of buildable area. Buyers choosing between them are effectively choosing between turnkey modern apartments and a land-led proposition requiring phased investment. Location also differs. Estepona and Benalmádna positions sit deep in the resort belt, oriented towards beach and marina life. Valle del Sol, by contrast, sits on the Málaga side of the coast: the airport is 4.8 km away in a direct line, Málaga city about 48 km, and daily services, supermarket, pharmacy, hospital, are within walking distance in an urban setting of roughly 77,700 residents. This means more year-round infrastructure and shorter airport transfers, but a less resort-like environment than Estepona's newer urbanisations. The property's value case rests on the plot, the outdoor facilities and the approved expansion capacity rather than on current interior scale. At 80 m² with two bedrooms and one bathroom, the built area is well below villa norms for this price segment; the 277 m² buildable allowance is what brings the asset into line with regional villa benchmarks. Buyers comparing total cost should therefore budget for expansion works, permits and timelines on top of the purchase price, and weigh that phased route against a single purchase of a larger completed villa elsewhere on the Costa del Sol.
