Located in the Punta Lara district of Nerja, this townhouse offers a traditional Spanish layout with a practical distribution of space. The property features three bedrooms and three bathrooms across a total living area of 136 m². A notable feature is the fully independent apartment, separate from the main house, which provides significant privacy and flexibility. The location offers views of the sea and mountains, and residents have access to a communal swimming pool. With tourist licenses available for both the main residence and the apartment, the property presents itself as a versatile option on the eastern coast of Málaga.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in Punta Lara, a residential neighborhood on the eastern edge of Nerja, bordering the Maro natural park. The setting is characterized by a rural environment with direct coastal access. The plot lies at an altitude of approximately 700 meters above sea level, meaning the final kilometers to the property involve navigating significant elevation changes. The surroundings are quiet, offering panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea and the hinterland.
The layout of this townhouse is particularly suitable for those requiring flexibility in their living situation. The separation between the main house and the self-contained apartment allows for hosting guests without sharing living space. With 136 m² of living area and various outdoor spaces, including a solarium, it offers sufficient volume for families or individuals who spend significant time outdoors. The inclusion of a fireplace and air conditioning contributes to year-round comfort.
This project involves an existing home described as being in 'good' condition. The structural state is stable and the property is immediately habitable. Unlike new build projects where delivery dates are in the future, this object is instantly available. There is no construction phase or development risk, simplifying the purchase for buyers who do not wish to wait for construction.
It is important to note that a car is essential for daily mobility. The distance to the nearest beach (Playa de las Alberquillas) is over 4 kilometers as the crow flies, but due to the steep 17% gradient down to the coast and the rural location, walking is not a practical option. The distance to supermarkets and amenities also requires private transport. The location within an urbanization means sharing community facilities, such as the pool, and accounting for the presence of neighbors.

This property fits well with buyers seeking a residence with guest or rental capabilities, without the limitations of an apartment. It suits those who frequently host family or require a care unit for relatives via the separate apartment. It is also relevant for investors wishing to utilize the tourist license. However, the location requires comfort with driving and a preference for a quiet, rural setting over immediate access to the town center. It is less suitable for those with limited mobility who cannot drive, due to distances and elevation changes.
The finishings of the home are described as 'good' with standard materials appropriate for its construction period. The presence of a fireplace and fully equipped kitchen indicates a focus on living comfort. Outdoor spaces are functionally designed: the solarium features an outdoor kitchen and BBQ installation, pointing to a configuration oriented towards 'outdoor living'. The apartment is fully self-contained with its own amenities. No mention is made of high-end sustainability installations like underfloor heating or solar panels, but air conditioning is present for temperature control. The technical condition appears low-maintenance and robust.
The asking price for this project is set at €349,000. Compared to new build projects in municipalities further west on the Costa del Sol, this price level is relatively competitive for an object of this size and dual habitability (main house + apartment). The pricing reflects the location (eastern, rural) and the fact that it is an existing build. There is no variation in build options or layouts as seen in new construction; the price is a transaction price for the entire property. Buyers should account for transfer taxes (ITP) and potential furnishing costs, though the home is habitable.
Living in Punta Lara means residing on the border of bustling Nerja and the rugged natural beauty of the Maro cliffs. Mornings often begin with sun on the south-facing solarium, overlooking the sea. The area is primarily residential, ensuring a quieter character compared to Nerja center. However, daily groceries require driving, as the nearest supermarket is 4.5 km away. The proximity to Mirador Tajo de los Bueyes offers a fixed walking point for residents who enjoy views. In winter, the altitude and distance from the coast result in slightly cooler temperatures than directly on the seafront, but the fireplace provides warmth. In summer, the private sun terrace serves as the main living area, benefiting from sea breezes due to the elevation.
The living environment in Punta Lara is characterized by a mix of permanent residence and tourism. One lives here with a sea view but is physically removed from the busy city beaches. Living here requires planning; the supermarket is 4.5 km away. For healthcare, one must head towards the hospital 25 km away in the region. Air traffic noise is minimal due to the large distance from the airport (63 km). The neighborhood itself is quiet on the streets. The presence of a restaurant on the urbanization grounds means basic dining is close by. The proximity to Mirador Tajo de los Bueyes (3 km) provides a cultural and recreational walking gateway.
The map shows the location of the project in Punta Lara on the east side of Nerja, directly bordering the coastline and the A-7 highway. The location is marked as rural with construction along the slopes towards the sea. Notable is the green buffer between the neighborhood and the hinterland.
Nerja is located at the easternmost point of the Costa del Sol, bordering the province of Granada. This project is situated in Punta Lara, the eastern access road of Nerja. Consequently, one is closer to the nature parks of the Axarquía and further from the hustle of the west coast (Torremolinos, Marbella). The positioning on the east side means one can reach central Málaga faster than from the west, though international amenities are often more central in the region. It is a transition area between coastal tourism and rural tranquility.
Accessibility to amenities depends on car transport. The beach of Playa de las Alberquillas is 4 km away as the crow flies, but the route involves a steep descent. Málaga Airport is located 63 km away, implying a travel time of approximately 50-60 minutes by car. Public transport is available in the region (6 lines nearby), but stops are at a walking distance that may not be convenient for everyone. Golfers must account for a travel distance of at least 61 km (as the crow flies) to the nearest golf course, such as Club de Golf Málaga Parador. An EV charging point can be found 7.1 km away.

The climate in this region is mild with an average annual temperature of 20.2°C and over 3,900 hours of sunshine per year. The location at 700 meters above sea level implies that temperatures may feel slightly lower than directly at the coast, which can be pleasant in summer. The swimming season lasts approximately 6 months. The physical environment is defined by the steep slope towards the coast (17%), providing panoramic views but also limitations in the immediate vicinity. The coastline here, at Maro, is rockier and more pristine than the resorts further west.

The nearest beaches are the natural shores of Maro, such as Playa de las Alberquillas and Cala del Pino. These are known for their quieter character and natural surroundings. The Blue Flag status of beaches like Burriana and Torrecilla is relevant at a greater distance. For recreation, the immediate surroundings offer rich walking opportunities, particularly around Mirador Tajo de los Bueyes. The urbanization itself offers a communal pool, which can reduce the necessity to go to the sea for refreshment. Sports facilities in the wider region are plentiful (125 facilities in Nerja), but specific amenities like golf courses require a long drive.

Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas (€490,000) or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (starting from €720,000), this object in Nerja offers a more favorable price level for more living space (136 m²) and dual living units. In the west (Mijas/Fuengirola), prices are generally higher and locations are closer to international amenities and golf. In exchange, this location in Punta Lara offers more privacy, nature, and a rural character. While Astra Homes in Fuengirola (€364,000) offers new construction, this object offers an existing build with a garden and direct sea views. The buyer makes the trade-off between the modern luxury and facilities of the west coast versus the charm, space, and investment returns from rental potential on the east coast.
