This townhouse is situated in Mojácar Pueblo, the elevated white village in the province of Almería, roughly 90 km from the provincial capital. The property dates from an early twentieth-century construction period and is fully completed. It offers 108 m² of living space across a multi-level layout with two bedrooms and one bathroom, plus a 38 m² adjoining parcel included in the sale. The village sits at approximately 423 m above sea level, while the beaches of Mojácar Playa lie around 2.3–2.5 km away. Daily amenities, supermarket, pharmacy, cafés and restaurants, are within walking distance on the village's cobbled streets.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in the historic centre of Mojácar Pueblo, accessed via a cobbled street. The beach zone of Mojácar Playa is roughly 2.3 km away by straight line; the marina at Garrucha is about 6 km. Almería city lies 64 km to the north-west, with Cartagena 92 km and Murcia 114 km. Airports are at considerable distance: Alicante approximately 176 km and Málaga approximately 229 km in a straight line.
The property functions as a compact village house with a stepped internal layout across multiple levels: hallway used as a sitting room, kitchen, utility room, bathroom, two further sitting rooms, two bedrooms and a top room with fireplace leading to a private terrace. Air conditioning is installed. An underground storage area and the 38 m² side parcel provide additional space. Storage and off-street parking are otherwise scarce in the village.
This is not a new-build project. The house originates from around 1900 and is delivered in completed, immediately habitable condition. The original build date is indicative. No developer phases, payment schedules or off-plan guarantees apply. Renovation or modernisation works would be the buyer's own responsibility and subject to local permits.
The property offers two bedrooms and a single bathroom, which limits capacity for larger households. There is no swimming pool, garden, garage or communal facility recorded. Parking within the historic village streets is limited; the side parcel could potentially accommodate a vehicle subject to permissions. The stepped, multi-level layout involves internal stairs throughout. The nearest hospital is approximately 30 km away.

This property suits buyers seeking a characterful, completed home in a traditional Spanish village rather than a modern coastal apartment. Recognisable situations include: a second home used for extended stays outside peak season, where the village's year-round amenities, pharmacy, supermarket, cafés, matter more than proximity to the sand; a buyer who values outdoor space and views but accepts a stepped internal layout without lift access; and anyone prioritising walkability over car dependence, since daily errands are all within a few hundred metres. It also fits buyers with a renovation budget who wish to modernise gradually while living in or letting the property. It fits less well where a ground-floor layout, multiple bathrooms, private parking guaranteed by title, a pool or direct beach access are requirements. The nearest hospital at 30 km and the region's airport distances (Alicante ~176 km straight-line) are relevant for buyers who travel frequently or have specific healthcare needs. For permanent residence, the single bathroom and two-bedroom configuration work best for couples, small families or single occupants.
The house retains its original construction features, including traditional roof beams, a fireplace and period detailing, consistent with a village property of this age. The kitchen is tiled and functionally equipped; the bathroom contains a bathtub with overhead shower and benefits from natural light and ventilation through a window. Floors and finishes visible in the property's documentation show a functional, lived-in standard rather than a recently renovated one, buyers should expect to invest in updating depending on personal standards. Technically, air conditioning is installed for climate control. As a pre-modern building, the property will not carry a contemporary energy efficiency rating comparable to new construction; insulation, glazing and electrical systems should be verified during technical due diligence, particularly given the building's age and hillside position. The underground storage area is a practical bonus in a village where storage is otherwise limited. The 38 m² side parcel is undeveloped land included in the sale; its usable configuration, garden, terrace or parking, would depend on municipal permissions. Structural checks specific to older village houses (damp, roof condition, wall integrity of the terrace level) form a standard part of the survey process at this type of property.
The asking price is €180,000, which positions the property at the accessible end of the Mojácar market for a completed village house of 108 m² with two bedrooms, a private terrace, underground storage and an adjoining 38 m² parcel. Comparable properties in the historic Pueblo typically trade in a broad range depending on renovation state and terrace size; the adjoining land is a differentiating factor here. Buyers should budget separately for any modernisation, as the house retains its original character and layout. Transaction costs (transfer tax, notary, registry) are additional. Province-level data records 578 property transactions, indicating an active if modest local market.
Daily life here is organised around the rhythm of a traditional Andalusian hill village. The front door opens onto a cobbled street where the pharmacy sits 31 m away and a supermarket 223 m; the village's bars, cafés and small shops are reached on foot within minutes. Within a 2 km radius the area counts around 30 restaurants, 17 cafés, five bank branches and three dentists, meaning most routine errands do not require a car. The house itself is arranged over several levels connected by short flights of steps, a layout typical of village properties built into the hillside, where rooms follow the slope rather than a corridor plan. Living space totals 108 m², with the top-floor room and its fireplace acting as a natural focal point in cooler months, and the terrace above serving as the principal outdoor room, with views across the surrounding countryside and mountains. The 38 m² side parcel adds flexibility: as a garden, seating area or, subject to permissions, off-street parking, a practical consideration given restricted street parking in the Pueblo. The municipal sports centre with pool (Pabellón y Piscina Municipal La Fuensenta) is approximately 100 m away. For beach days, the coves and beaches at Mojácar Playa are a short drive or bus ride down the hill. The village is small-scale and quiet outside the summer season; winter months bring a notably local atmosphere, with roughly 32 local festivals per year marking the calendar.
The immediate environment is the historic core of Mojácar Pueblo: narrow cobbled streets, whitewashed facades and small-scale commerce. Within roughly 2 km there are 30 restaurants, 17 cafés, two schools, two pharmacies, five banks and three dentists, an unusually complete offering for a village of this size, driven partly by tourism infrastructure (21 hotels, roughly 5,376 beds). Public transport is limited but present: four lines with around 50 stops serve the municipality, connecting the Pueblo with the Playa zone. The train halt at Los Tres Amigos is 2.6 km away. A car is convenient for beaches, Garrucha marina (5.9 km), golf courses and airport transfers, but is not essential for daily life. Outside the summer season the village quietens considerably; INE records a municipal population of 7,680 in 2025, with the historic core itself far smaller. Healthcare is anchored by a local health centre, with the nearest hospital approximately 30 km away, a distance buyers should factor in for ongoing medical needs.
The map shows the property's position in the elevated historic core of Mojácar Pueblo, with the Mediterranean coastline and Mojácar Playa roughly 2.3 km to the east, Garrucha marina to the north, and the A-350/A-7 road connections towards Vera, Garrucha and the wider Almería, Murcia corridor.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Mojácar occupies the south-eastern corner of Almería province, on the Mediterranean coast bordering Murcia. It is 90 km from Almería city (199,237 inhabitants), 92 km from Cartagena (218,943) and 114 km from Murcia (462,979), the three regional anchors, each with hospitals, rail connections and wider services. Within its local market, Mojácar is unusual in combining an authentic, elevated historic village with a purpose-built beach resort strip (Mojácar Playa) below. Neighbouring coastal towns such as Garrucha and Vera Playa offer flatter, more modern residential environments; the Pueblo instead offers older building stock, views and walkability.
Beaches: Playa del Descargador, Playa de Vista de los Ángeles and Playa del Palmeral all lie 2.3–2.5 km away, with Blue Flag beaches including El Descargador and El Cantal among 24 along the Almería coast. Marina: Puerto Deportivo de Garrucha at roughly 6 km. Golf: Cortijo Grande at 7 km, Desert Springs Golf Club at 13 km and Aguilón Golf at 27 km. Supermarket at 223 m and pharmacy at 31 m. EV charging points are 1.2 km away, with a Tesla Supercharger at Antas 9.2 km. Airports require planning: Alicante-Elche approximately 176 km straight-line (roughly two hours by road), Málaga approximately 229 km, Almería airport closer but with a more limited route network. Almería city is 64 km, Cartagena 92 km and Murcia 114 km.

Mojácar Pueblo sits at approximately 423 m above sea level on the flank of the Sierra de Cabrera, which explains the property's mountain and countryside views from the terrace. The climate is one of the driest and sunniest in Spain: historical data indicates around 3,885 hours of sunshine per year, with average temperatures spanning roughly 13°C in winter to 27°C in summer and an annual mean of 18.1°C. The swimming season, when sea temperature reaches 20°C or more, lasts about four months. The elevation tempers summer heat compared with the seafront, though the uphill streets and internal steps mean the terrain is not flat. Rainfall is low year-round, and the arid, protected landscape of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar region to the south-west shapes the area's distinctive scenery.

The closest beaches, Playa del Descargador, Playa de Vista de los Ángeles and Playa del Palmeral, lie 2.3–2.5 km from the village, accessible by car, bus or a steep walk. El Descargador holds Blue Flag status, part of a run of 24 Blue Flag beaches in the province. Garrucha's marina (5.9 km) offers moorings, chandleries and seafood restaurants along the working port. Golfers have three courses within reach: Cortijo Grande (7 km), Desert Springs (13 km, an Arizona-style desert course) and Aguilón (27 km). Everyday recreation is closer to hand: the municipal sports hall and swimming pool (Pabellón y Piscina Municipal La Fuensanta) is approximately 100 m from the property, go-karting is 4 km away, and the village's network of hillside streets and surrounding trails supports walking and running.

Mojácar is a municipality situated in the southeast of the Province of Almería (Andalucia) in southern Spain, bordering the Mediterranean Sea. It is 90 km from the capital of the province, Almería. It is an elevated mountain village displaying the traditional white colour from its earlier days. There is also a tourist resort to the south of the town, on the coast, called Mojácar Playa.

Within its local market, this property occupies a distinct segment. Mojácar's housing stock divides broadly between the hillside Pueblo, the flat modern apartment blocks of Mojácar Playa, and the surrounding urbanisations such as Cortijo Grande and the Vera Playa belt. Beachfront apartments in Mojácar Playa and Vera typically start higher than €180,000 for comparable floor areas, but deliver lift access, pools, parking and level terrain, conveniences this village house trades for character, views and the side parcel. Conversely, resale village houses in the Pueblo appear on the market from roughly €120,000 for smaller or unrenovated units; at €180,000 with 108 m², a terrace and adjoining land, this property sits in the middle of that band, with the parcel being the differentiating asset since off-street space is scarce in the historic core. Regionally, Mojácar compares with other Almería coastal towns: Garrucha offers flatter, more functional living at lower elevation but with less charm; Vera Playa specialises in modern resort-style developments; inland Cuevas del Almanzora and Antas offer cheaper property with longer beach distances. Provincial context matters too, Almería's median income of €15,050 and its 578 recorded transactions reflect an affordable market by Spanish coastal standards, and the area's tourism base (21 hotels, some 5,376 beds) supports a rental season concentrated in the four warmest months. Compared with the Costa del Sol 229 km west, prices per square metre here remain materially lower, though airport access via Alicante or Almería is less direct, a trade-off typical of the Costa de Almería as a whole.
