Situated in the inland area of Entrerrios, Málaga, this detached traditional finca (cortijo) presents a lifestyle defined by extensive grounds and rural seclusion. The property spans 19,000 m² of land, offering a high degree of privacy, while the 150 m² residence provides four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The orientation towards the south allows for natural light throughout the day. With a private pool and existing tourist licence (LPO), the estate functions as both a private residence and a potential hospitality venue, positioned approximately 6 minutes by car from the coastal amenities of La Cala de Mijas.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in Entrerrios, a rural district inland from the Mijas coastline. The setting is characterised by agricultural land and undulating terrain, positioned at an elevation of 422 metres above sea level. This altitude places the residence above the coastal haze, often resulting in cooler evening temperatures and clear views. The immediate environment is quiet, with direct access to the hinterland road network connecting the property to the coast.
This configuration addresses the need for expansive outdoor space and autonomy. The distribution of bedrooms and bathrooms across the 150 m² layout supports larger family groups or the operation of guest accommodation. The inclusion of a private pool and multiple terraces caters to an outdoor living lifestyle. The presence of a utility room and storage facilities supports the practical maintenance of the large grounds. A vehicle is required for all daily activities due to the absence of pedestrian infrastructure.
The development consists of an existing traditional structure, classified as a cortijo, which has been updated for modern residential use. The property is in 'Good' condition, indicating that structural and functional systems are operational. Unlike new-build off-plan projects, this estate is available for immediate occupation. No further construction phases are pending. The inventory indicates the inclusion of climate control and modern amenities within the rustic shell.
The primary constraint of this location is the dependence on private transport; there is no access to public transport or on-foot amenities. The property is not within walking distance of beaches, shops, or schools. The terrain is sloped, which may limit mobility for individuals with physical impairments. The inland location means the benefits of immediate sea access are not present on-site. The plot size requires significant ongoing maintenance.
This property suits buyers seeking a retreat from high-density developments. It fits the profile of an equestrian enthusiast, a owner of large dogs, or an entrepreneur running a rural hospitality business. The privacy and acoustic isolation are beneficial for those working remotely or requiring silence. The existing LPO licence makes it viable for investors targeting the wellness retreat market. It is less suitable for those seeking a lock-up-and-leave apartment or individuals who prefer walking to restaurants and shops. The property requires a willingness to engage with land management or the employment of grounds staff.
The residence maintains traditional architectural elements, evidenced by the tiled flooring and rustic dining areas visible in the imagery. The integration of modern systems, such as air conditioning and satellite connectivity, has been performed to provide contemporary comfort without stripping the character of the cortijo. The 'Good' condition rating suggests functional kitchens and sanitary facilities. The outdoor areas feature practical installations, including a barbecue area and a private pool, utilising materials suited for the Mediterranean climate. The focus is on durability and functionality rather than luxury high-gloss finishes.
The asking price is set at €1,350,000. The pricing model is fixed for the freehold purchase of the entire estate, which includes the main residence on 6,900 m² and the adjoining 12,100 m² parcel. No variations in unit size are available as this is a singular property transaction. The price reflects the rarity of the plot size relative to the buildable area. Furniture is optional, which may affect the final investment required. A 10% deposit is typically standard for securing this type of resale property.
Life at this finca is oriented towards privacy and the management of land. The 19,000 m² plot effectively isolates the residence from neighbours, creating a environment where outdoor noise is minimal. The day revolves around the use of the extensive outdoor spaces; the terraces and pool area serve as the primary living quarters during daylight hours. The interior layout, featuring a fireplace, suggests a focus on temperate evenings, which can be cooler at this elevation. The inclusion of a tourist licence indicates the property is equipped to handle a flow of people, suitable for owners looking to host retreats or rental groups. The surroundings are agricultural and natural, dictating a lifestyle that embraces the quiet of the countryside over the vibrancy of the town centre.
The immediate vicinity is defined by the rural municipality of Entrerrios. The demographic is sparse, with approximately 3,524 inhabitants, ensuring low traffic density in the area. The local economy is geared towards agriculture and residential living. Access to services requires travel; the nearest concentration of amenities, including the 31 restaurants and 3 pharmacies listed within the broader 2km radius (likely centred in nearby urbanisations), necessitates a drive. The environment is one of countryside living, where interactions are likely to occur with neighbouring landowners rather than a high street community.
The map highlights the position of the finca amidst the expansive grid of agricultural land typical of the Entrerrios area. The distance to the A-7 motorway and the coastline is evident, illustrating the transition from the rural interior to the Mediterranean.
Entrerrios acts as a transitional zone between the bustling developments of Fuengirola/Mijas Costa and the traditional villages of the interior. It offers a position that is rural yet not remote. Compared to the coastal projects like Arosa or Waterfall Residences, this location removes the resident from the tourist traffic zones while keeping them within a 10-minute radius of the services. It serves as a 'green lung' alternative to the concrete density of the frontline.
The finca is located 4.7 km from Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, translating to a drive of approximately 10-15 minutes depending on road traffic. The route involves an 8.9% gradient slope, necessitating a vehicle with adequate power for the ascent. La Cala de Mijas is a 6-minute drive, providing access to supermarkets and medical centres. Málaga Airport is approximately 15 km away as the crow flies, though road travel will be longer due to the topography, typically estimated at 25-30 minutes. Golf courses are situated in the vicinity between the property and the coast.

The property sits at 422 metres above sea level, a significant elevation that modifies the coastal climate. Temperatures range historically between 14°C and 26°C, often feeling several degrees cooler than the immediate shoreline. Sun exposure is extensive, with 3,875 hours of sunshine per year. The orientation to the south maximises this exposure. The swimming season is defined by the heated nature of a private pool rather than just the air temperature, which remains pleasant for approximately 4 months of the year. The surrounding terrain consists of hills and arable land, characteristic of the Mijas hinterland.

While the property is inland, the coast is a short drive away. Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is the nearest sandy beach, holding Blue Flag status, indicating high water quality and managed facilities. The area is densely populated with golf courses, serving as the primary recreational infrastructure between the home and the sea. The property itself offers recreational facilities including the private pool and barbecue zones. For organised sports or water activities, one must travel to the coastal strip.

In comparison to the new developments in Fuengirola, such as Astra Homes (starting at €364,000), this property commands a significantly higher price point (€1,350,000) due to the extensive landholding rather than the build quality. Unlike the Arosa or Waterfall Residences, which offer communal living and shared amenities in an urban setting, this finca provides total independence. However, it lacks the walkability and immediate service access of those coastal projects. The comparison here is not between like-for-like properties, but between a lifestyle of land ownership versus convenience. The 'competitors' are other rural estates in Mijas Pueblo or Alhaurín el Grande, which often offer similar land sizes but may lack the specific orientation or proximity to the coast found here.
