This extensive estate in Campo Mijas features a 10-hectare plot with 2,650 m² of existing buildings. Located at approximately 422 meters above sea level, the property offers a transition climate with views of the mountains and partial sea views. The estate is currently used as a horse hotel and training center, equipped with stables, paddocks, and drainage systems. Essential amenities like supermarkets and pharmacies are within walking distance (about 700 meters), while the coastline is 4.7 kilometers away as the crow flies. The property requires renovation, offering the chance to adapt the layout and usage to specific requirements.
Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000) and Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000), this object is in a totally different segment in terms of price. The comparison projects are often new build apartments or townhouses on smaller plots. The value of this object lies in the scarcity of land in this region; 10 hectares is exceptionally large for the Costa del Sol. Where Arosa and Waterfall Residences are move-in ready and focused on comfort and shared facilities (pools, gardens), this project offers autonomy and privacy. For buyers spending €3.4 million on real estate, this is a choice for space and potential over immediate residential comfort. The location in Campo Mijas is central but less touristy than Fuengirola, which for some buyers is an advantage (more peace) and for others a disadvantage (less walkability to the beach).
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The estate is situated in Campo Mijas, an inland area within the municipality of Mijas. The location sits at 422 meters in altitude, resulting in a cooler microclimate compared to the coast. The surroundings are urban in nature with amenities within reach, yet the size of the plot maintains a rural character. The coast of Fuengirola is located a short distance away.
This accommodation suits those seeking extensive outdoor space and autonomy. With 10 hectares of land, there is room for intensive land use, such as horse breeding or agriculture. The presence of multiple residential units and outbuildings makes it suitable for large families or business activities on the premises. The renovation requirement calls for a buyer with construction plans or a vision for redevelopment.
This is not a new build project but an existing estate that requires complete renovation. The current status is 'Renovation Required'. Infrastructure, including water supply via a private well and reservoir, is present but likely requires modernization. Delivery depends on the buyer's renovation plans.
The property is not turn-key ready and requires significant investment in renovation and maintenance. Due to the elevation (422m) and the steep slope to the coast (8.9%), the location is not flat and access to the beach can be physically challenging without transport. The distance to the beach is not easily bridged on foot for daily use.
This project fits individuals looking for a commercial or private estate with extensive grounds. It is particularly suitable for horse lovers due to the existing infrastructure like stables and paddocks. Also, for investors looking for a 'glut' of land in a sought-after region and wishing to redevelop it, this could be an option. The situation requires a buyer who is not afraid of a renovation project and sees value in the potential transformation of the property. It is less suitable for people looking for a move-in ready vacation home without maintenance worries.
The current state of the property can be described as dilapidated or outdated, ready for renovation. There is basic finishing, functional for farm use, but not up to modern residential standards. Technical installations like water supply (private well) are present but likely function at a basic level. The construction quality of the outbuildings and stables is robust but will require periodic maintenance.
The asking price for this estate is €3,400,000. This is a fixed amount for the entire 100,000 m² plot and existing buildings. There is no variation in property types or prices, as it concerns a single unique object. The value is primarily determined by the size of the land holding, the recreational possibilities, and the renovation potential.
Living on this estate means residing at a strategic point between the mountainous hinterland and the coast. The day begins with views over the mountain ranges and the Mediterranean Sea. Due to the altitude, the temperature is often a few degrees lower than at the beach, which can be pleasant during the summer months. For the hobbyist farmer or horse lover, the immediate availability of pastures and stables allows for work to start right away in the morning. The proximity to Campo Mijas ensures that groceries and medical care are not far away, although one experiences complete privacy on the estate itself. In the evening, the location offers a quiet environment, away from the bustle of coastal tourists, with starry skies visible due to the distance from city lights.
The surroundings of Campo Mijas are characterized by a mix of rural living and urban amenities. With 3,524 inhabitants in the immediate vicinity, there is a lively community without the hustle of a metropolis. The presence of 31 restaurants within a 2 km radius indicates sufficient dining options. Cultural amenities like viewpoints and sports centers (such as Club de Tenis y Padel Lew Hoad) are also a short distance away. The location near the A-7 or national road ensures connection with the rest of the Costa del Sol.
The map shows the strategic location of the estate between the mountain peaks and the coastline. The green contours mark the 10 hectares of present land. Visible is the distance to the various golf courses and the nearest train station Carvajal.
Campo Mijas functions as a buffer zone between the touristy Fuengirola on the coast and the mountain village Mijas Pueblo. It offers the tranquility of the hinterland with the accessibility of the coast. Compared to direct coastal locations like Benalmádena or Torremolinos, it is quieter and more spacious in layout. The region is popular among Northern Europeans due to the combination of a golf climate and rural charm.
The property is located inland, accessible via local roads leading to the N-340/A-7 coastal road. The distance to Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 16 km as the crow flies. Beach accessibility is possible by car via the A-7, towards Fuengirola or Mijas Costa. The nearest train station, Carvajal, is 4.8 km away, offering connections to Málaga and Fuengirola. For daily groceries, a supermarket can be found at 682 meters distance.

The area lies at an altitude of 422 meters, resulting in an average annual temperature of 16.5°C. In the winter months, it can be cooler here than at sea level, which may be beneficial for sleep quality. With 3,875 hours of sunshine per year, the climate is sunny. The location in a mountainous area means there may be more wind and precipitation than directly on the coast. The slope of the terrain (8.9%) towards the sea ensures natural drainage and unique sightlines.
