A rustic finca in Entrerríos, in the countryside behind La Cala de Mijas on the Costa del Sol. The property stands on a plot of approximately 24,427 m² and contains two independent houses with a combined living area of 525 m², seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. Each house has its own entrance, private pool and outdoor space. The estate was completed in 2004 and is offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €700,000. La Cala de Mijas and the coast are roughly ten minutes away by car, while Fuengirola can be reached in around fifteen minutes.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The estate sits in the Entrerríos countryside, a rural pocket behind the coastal strip of Mijas, with direct access to the river area. The nearest beach, Playa de La Cala - El Torreón, lies about 0.3 km from the village centre as the crow flies, with the coast around ten minutes by car. Marbella is 18 km away in a straight line and Málaga 34 km, giving access to both urban centres and the airport at Málaga, roughly 19 km distant.
The layout serves households that need capacity and separation: two fully independent homes, one single-storey with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the other over two floors with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Each has a private pool, terrace and kitchen. Fitted wardrobes, air conditioning and a covered garage support year-round use, while the plot allows space for animals, cultivation or a greenhouse.
This is not a new-build development. The two houses were completed in 2004 and the estate is sold key-ready in its existing condition. The properties have stood unoccupied for a period and are described as requiring repainting and general cosmetic updating, with no known structural issues. Any refurbishment timeline and budget would need to be assessed by the buyer.
The property requires cosmetic renovation, including repainting, before it is fully move-in ready. The interior photos show empty, dated rooms. There is no mention of central heating, and the setting is rural, so daily life depends on car use. Community fees, IBI and running costs for two houses and extensive grounds are not stated in the available data and must be verified separately.

This estate fits several recognisable situations. The first is a family split across two generations that wants proximity without shared living: parents in the single-storey house, children and grandchildren in the larger home, each with private outdoor space and a pool. The second is a household seeking a main residence with a self-contained guest house or holiday-let unit, where the second home generates income or hosts visiting family. A third profile is the rural-lifestyle buyer: someone who wants land for horses, animals, cultivation or simply space, within a ten-minute drive of the beach and services. The property also suits buyers who deliberately choose countryside over the coastal strip and accept that everything from supermarkets to schools requires the car. It is less suitable for those wanting a low-maintenance lock-and-leave home, given the scale of the grounds and the cosmetic work needed, or for households dependent on public transport, since bus coverage in the Entrerríos area is limited compared with the 43 stops along the La Cala coastal zone. Buyers should also be comfortable managing two buildings and two pools, with the maintenance and cost that entails.
The houses date from 2004 and are built in a traditional Andalusian country style, consistent with their rustic setting. The interior photographs show functional but dated rooms: bedrooms with wooden fitted wardrobes, a bathroom with bathtub, sink and mirror, and a studio-style living room with sofa and wardrobe units. Kitchens are described as fully fitted and separate from the living areas, and the property is sold fully furnished. Climate control consists of air conditioning; no central heating system is mentioned in the available data, which is relevant for winter use at this inland location. The estate benefits from its own legal water well in addition to community water supply, a meaningful practical asset for maintaining gardens and pools on a plot of this size. Structurally, the seller reports no known issues, but both houses have been unoccupied for some time and require repainting and general cosmetic updating throughout. The image analysis of the exterior shows a single-storey villa with flower beds, and the pool terraces are surrounded by mature greenery. Buyers planning refurbishment should factor in refreshing both kitchens and bathrooms, repainting internally and externally, and possibly upgrading insulation and glazing to modern standards. A technical survey would establish the exact condition of the roofs, water systems and pool installations before purchase.
The estate is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €700,000. That figure covers both houses, the 24,427 m² plot, the two private pools, the greenhouse and the covered garage. For context, new-build apartments in the wider region start at roughly €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona, which places this property in a different category: land volume and dual-home capacity rather than new construction. Buyers should budget separately for the cosmetic updating the houses require. Additional purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary and registry fees are not included in the asking price.
Daily life on this estate follows a rural rhythm. The morning starts with the views from the elevated second house, which looks across country and towards the sea, and continues across a plot of nearly two and a half hectares that includes terraces, garden areas, a greenhouse and access to the river zone of Entrerríos. Two households can operate entirely independently: each house has its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom facilities and private pool, so a family with two generations, or owners combining a main residence with a guest house or rental unit, do not share facilities unless they choose to. The single-storey first house suits those who prefer to avoid stairs, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate kitchen and a spacious living room opening onto the pool area and covered garage. The second house, set higher on the land, works as the primary residence for a larger family, with four bedrooms upstairs and living space below, plus a large covered terrace for outdoor dining. Practical errands involve a short drive: La Cala de Mijas and the coast are around ten minutes by car, where shops, pharmacies, banks and schools are concentrated. The immediate vicinity within 2 km includes restaurants, a school, pharmacies, banks and cafés, so basic needs are closer than the coast itself. The rural surroundings mean quiet, space and privacy, with walking routes along the river, but also that a car is a daily necessity.
The surrounding area combines rural tranquillity with unusually good access to coastal infrastructure. Entrerríos itself is a quiet inland zone of Mijas with direct access to river walks and open countryside. Within 2 km, the data lists 35 restaurants, 15 cafés, two pharmacies, six banks and a school, meaning daily needs are largely met without driving to the coast. La Cala de Mijas, a few minutes by car, adds beaches, a viewpoint at 0.6 km and the Polideportivo sports centre at 1.0 km. For sport, Miraflores Tennis Club lies 1.8 km away and the Miraflores Bowling Club 1.9 km, both within easy reach. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the area, and education options include 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider municipality. Marbella, at 18 km as the crow flies, and Fuengirola, about 15 minutes by car, provide hospital-level services and larger shopping. The area records around 3,190 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not saturated market. Tourism infrastructure, 10 hotels with 2,131 beds, is concentrated on the coast, leaving the inland setting largely unaffected by seasonal crowds. Public transport consists of 4 lines and 43 stops, mainly serving the coastal zone, so the estate functions as a car-dependent address.
The map shows the estate in its rural setting behind the La Cala de Mijas coastline, with the river zone of Entrerríos nearby. Distances shown are straight-line; road access to the coast takes roughly ten minutes by car. Marbella, Fuengirola and Málaga frame the wider region.

Entrerríos occupies the rural hinterland of Mijas, positioned between the coastal villages of La Cala de Mijas and the inland pueblo of Mijas village. Within the Costa del Sol, this places the estate in the central corridor: Marbella 18 km to the west, Fuengirola a short drive east and Málaga city 34 km to the east. The location pairs inland space with coastal access, a combination increasingly rare in this stretch of the coast as inland plots are developed. For orientation purposes, Algeciras lies 80 km to the west and the international gateways of Málaga and Gibraltar airports sit at 19 km and 112 km respectively.
Distances are straight-line unless stated otherwise. The nearest beaches, Playa de La Cala - El Torreón and Playa de La Cala - La Butibamba, lie 0.3 km and 0.4 km from the La Cala centre; by car from the estate the coast is roughly ten minutes away. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 19 km distant as the crow flies, reachable by car in well under half an hour via the A-7 corridor, while Gibraltar Airport is 112 km away. Two marinas are within sailing distance for boat owners: Puerto Cabopino at 5.6 km and Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 7.3 km. Golfers have El Chaparral Golf Club at 2.0 km, Cerrado del Aguila at 3.1 km and a Par 3 course at 4.9 km. A public swimming pool, Piscina Bellavista, is 2.5 km away. Marbella (18 km) and Málaga (34 km) frame the region east and west. Bus service exists along the coast with 43 stops, but the estate's rural position makes a car essential for daily life.

The regional climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.1°C and monthly averages ranging from 15°C in winter to 28°C in summer. The swimming season runs about five months, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, typically from late May into October. The estate's elevated position behind the coast gives panoramic views over countryside, mountains and the sea, and orientation on multiple sides, north, east, south and west, means sun and shade can be found across the plot throughout the day. Direct access to the river area of Entrerríos provides immediate walking routes in a natural setting. Because the property sits inland rather than on the coast, summer heat is slightly drier and winter mornings somewhat cooler than at sea level; the air conditioning covers the warm months, while winter comfort should be assessed during refurbishment. The surroundings remain green thanks to the river zone, contrasting with the drier hillsides typical of the region.

The beaches of La Cala de Mijas are the natural coastal destination: Playa de La Cala - El Torreón at 0.3 km and La Butibamba at 0.4 km from the village centre, with Playa El Bombo a kilometre further along. These are family-friendly urban beaches with chiringuitos and the watchtower viewpoint of La Cala de Mijas at 0.6 km as a local landmark. Recreation inland and along the coast is varied. Golf features prominently, with El Chaparral Golf Club 2.0 km away, Cerrado del Aguila 3.1 km and a Par 3 course at 4.9 km, so several courses sit within a ten-minute drive. Racquet sports are covered by the Miraflores Tennis Club at 1.8 km and lawn bowls at the Miraflores Bowling Club at 1.9 km. The municipal sports centre, Polideportivo de La Cala, is 1.0 km from the centre. On the estate itself, the two private pools and the jacuzzi provide daily swimming without leaving the property, and the river walks of Entrerríos offer hiking directly from the boundary.

Within the central Costa del Sol, this estate occupies a segment of the market that new-build projects do not address: existing rural property with substantial land. The comparable new developments in the wider region, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,950, deliver modern apartments with communal facilities, but on small footprints and without dual-home capacity. At a fixed asking price of €700,000, this finca offers roughly 525 m² of built living space across two independent houses and nearly two and a half hectares of land, a land-to-building ratio that is essentially unobtainable on the coastal strip itself. The trade-offs are equally concrete. The houses date from 2004 and need cosmetic refreshing, whereas new-build buyers receive finished homes with warranties and modern insulation standards. Location-wise, Entrerríos sits inland, so sea views come from distance rather than proximity, and every coastal amenity, beaches at 0.3 to 1.0 km from La Cala centre, marinas at Cabopino and Fuengirola, golf at El Chaparral 2.0 km away, requires the car. For households comparing options, the regional pattern is clear: the coastal strip between Fuengirola and Marbella specialises in apartments and townhouses in urbanisations, while genuine fincas with private wells and dual dwellings appear only in the inland zones. The area records about 3,190 housing transactions per year, and tourism capacity of 10 hotels and 2,131 beds stays concentrated on the coast, keeping the Entrerríos side quiet year-round. Buyers weighing this estate against a new apartment are effectively choosing between land volume, privacy and multi-generational flexibility on one hand, and maintenance-free modern construction with walkable services on the other.
