A key-ready detached villa in the Fuente del Baden urbanisation on the eastern edge of Nerja, offered at a fixed asking price of €795,000. The house forms part of a small cluster of five homes and provides 150 m² of living space with three double bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private pool and a large solarium with sea views. The setting is quiet and semi-rural, roughly 4 km from the nearest beaches as the crow flies. A car is required for daily life. The property includes a rendered basement with space for additional accommodation, pre-installed air conditioning and solar panels for hot water.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in Fuente del Baden, a developing residential area near the coast east of Nerja. The surroundings are quiet and semi-rural, with mountain and sea views from the terraces. Playa de las Alberquillas lies about 4 km away in a straight line, while Nerja town and its amenities are within short driving distance. Málaga Airport sits 63 km away.
The layout suits households seeking three double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, three bathrooms including one en-suite, a modern fitted kitchen and multiple outdoor spaces. A south orientation, private pool, private solarium, covered terrace and off-road parking cover the main functional requirements. The basement offers adaptable space for a gym, office or games room.
The property is key-ready, with completion of the wider project indicated for 2026, though delivery dates remain indicative. Construction is finished and the house can be occupied once the purchase completes. Features include pre-installed air conditioning, solar water heating, double glazing and a rendered basement awaiting fitting-out.
The property does not offer immediate walking access to shops or the beach: the nearest supermarket is about 4.5 km away and the closest cove roughly 4 km as the crow flies. A car is necessary for daily errands. There is no golf course nearby, with the closest options around 61 km away. Public transport is limited to Nerja's local bus lines, and the terrain towards the coast is steep.

This property fits buyers who want a finished, detached home with private outdoor space and sea views, without waiting for a construction programme. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom layout works for a permanent residence for a couple or family, and the en-suite plus fitted wardrobes reduce the immediate work after moving in. It also suits a second-home buyer who wants a lock-and-leave villa with private parking and a manageable plot, where the pool and solarium provide the main leisure facilities on site. The basement appeals to households with specific needs, a home office, a gym, a games room or occasional guest accommodation, since the space is already rendered and only requires fitting-out. Buyers should be comfortable with car-based living: the nearest shops are a few kilometres away and there is no meaningful walk to the beach. It is less suitable for anyone seeking walkable urban amenities, proximity to golf courses, or reliance on public transport, as bus coverage in this part of Nerja is limited to local lines. The steep terrain and 612-metre elevation also mean the drive to the coast involves a consistent descent, which matters for buyers with mobility considerations. For investors, the key data points are Nerja's steady transaction volume, around 501 housing transactions per year, and the town's appeal across all seasons rather than a purely summer market.
The villa is finished to a modern standard consistent with recent construction on this stretch of the coast. The kitchen is a modern fitted unit, the three double bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and one bathroom serves as an en-suite to the master bedroom. Windows are double glazed throughout, which supports indoor comfort during both the hot months and the cooler winter period, when average temperatures still hover around 13°C. Pre-installed air conditioning allows the buyer to add units where needed, while solar panels already provide hot water, reducing day-to-day energy demand. The property's condition is listed as excellent, and the construction status is key-ready, meaning no finishing programme remains on the main floors. Outdoor construction includes a covered terrace, a private terrace off the master bedroom and a large solarium crowned with a pergola for shade. The basement is rendered but otherwise open, deliberately left for the owner to configure, this is the one part of the house that still requires investment, whether for a guest room, gym, office or storage. A storage room and a designated games room feature are already present in the specification. Private off-road parking and the private pool complete the technical inventory. WiFi infrastructure is in place, and the nearest public EV charging point is about 7.1 km away, so buyers with electric vehicles should factor in home charging, the private parking makes that a practical option.
The asking price is fixed at €795,000 for the complete villa, including the private pool, solarium, off-road parking and the unfinished basement. This is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build price list, so there is no range of unit types or from-prices. Within the local context, the price sits below the comparable Destination project in Nerja itself (from €850,000) and well above apartment-led developments further west in Estepona (from €320,000–€524,600). Availability is immediate in principle, as the construction status is key-ready; the wider project completion date of 2026 is indicative and relates to the surrounding urbanisation rather than to occupancy of this house.
Daily life here revolves around the villa itself and the short drives into Nerja. The house is one of five in a small cluster, which limits through-traffic and gives the immediate surroundings a residential rather than touristy character. Mornings can be spent on the south-facing terrace or by the private pool, with sun through most of the day and views that stretch over the hills towards the sea. The master bedroom opens directly onto a terrace, and the rooftop solarium with pergola serves as the main outdoor room for the middle of the day and the evening. Practical errands require a car: the supermarket lies about 4.5 km away and the pharmacy 4.6 km, both a short drive into Nerja or the neighbouring villages. The town itself, with roughly 22,000 inhabitants, offers a full range of services, restaurants, cafés, banks, schools and a health centre, plus four Blue Flag beaches. The area's rhythm is notably quieter than the central Costa del Sol; tourism is present but on a smaller scale, with 22 hotels in the whole municipality. The gradient towards the coast is steep at 16%, so walks to the beach are not realistic, but the elevated position at around 612 metres above sea level brings cooler evenings in summer and broad views. The rendered basement adds flexibility: depending on requirements it can become a guest suite, a gym or a workspace, effectively extending the usable surface beyond the registered 150 m².
Fuente del Baden sits on the eastern side of Nerja in a transition zone between the town and the protected coastal area towards Maro. The immediate surroundings are quiet and semi-rural, with scattered villas rather than apartment blocks. Amenities cluster in and around Nerja itself: within a 2-km radius of the wider area there are numerous restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, banks and several schools, although from this specific address the practical distances run to roughly 4.5 km for the supermarket and 4.6 km for the pharmacy. Healthcare is covered by a health centre in Nerja, while the nearest hospital is 25 km away, a consideration for buyers with regular medical needs. Education provision in the municipality includes seven primary schools and two secondary schools. The road network connects to the N-340 and the A-7 motorway, placing Málaga city 48 km away in a straight line and Granada 54 km, both reachable for day trips or airport alternatives. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies 63 km away, typically under an hour by car on the coastal route. Daily mobility is car-dependent, which the location data states explicitly. Public transport consists of six local bus lines with 23 stops, sufficient for occasional trips into town but not for a car-free lifestyle.
The map shows the villa in its elevated position east of Nerja, above the coves of the Maro-Cerro Gordo natural area. The straight-line distances to beaches, town, supermarket and airport illustrate the practical pattern of life here: coastal nature close by, everyday amenities a short drive away, and Málaga and its airport within about an hour by car.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nerja occupies the eastern end of the Costa del Sol in the comarca of La Axarquía, roughly 50 kilometres east of Málaga city. The town marks the transition towards the Granada coastline and the Almuñécar area, which places it closer to Granada (54 km straight-line) than to Marbella (94 km). Compared with the central Costa del Sol, Nerja is smaller, lower-rise and less densely developed, with a year-round population of about 22,000 and a tourism sector of moderate scale. This villa's position in Fuente del Baden, on the town's eastern flank, leans into that quieter character while keeping the town centre within easy driving distance.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa de las Alberquillas, lies about 3.8–4.0 km away, with Playa de Maro at 4.0 km and Cala del Pino at 4.2 km, all reached by car given the 16% gradient. Nerja's four Blue Flag beaches, including Burriana and Torrecilla, are a few minutes further by road. Marina del Este, the nearest marina, is 9.8 km away. Golf is a weak point locally: the closest courses, including Club de Golf Málaga Parador, sit 61–65 km away near Málaga, so golfers should expect a full-day outing. Málaga Airport is 63 km in a straight line, normally a drive of well under an hour and a half including coastal traffic. Gibraltar (155 km) and Alicante (332 km) airports are alternatives only in exceptional cases. An EV charging point sits 7.1 km away. By car, the address is well connected for a semi-rural location; without a car, daily life is impractical.

Nerja records average monthly temperatures between 13°C and 26°C, with an annual average of 16.5°C, mild winters and warm but not extreme summers, partly thanks to the elevation. At 612 metres above sea level, this address sits well above the coast, which tempers summer heat and brings fresher nights. The gradient down to the sea averages 16%, classed as very steep; this shapes both the views and the need to drive to the beach. The swimming season runs about four months, when sea temperatures hold at 20°C or above, roughly June through September. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches from late spring to early autumn. The natural surroundings are a defining feature: the villa lies near the cliffs and coves of the Maro-Cerro Gordo protected area, with viewpoints such as Mirador Tajo de los Bueyes 2.6 km away and the historic Acueducto del Águila 4.7 km away. Mountain and sea views from the terraces are a direct consequence of this elevated position.

The coastline east of Nerja is characterised by coves and natural beaches rather than long expanses of sand. Playa de las Alberquillas (about 4 km), Playa de Maro (4.0 km) and Cala del Pino (4.2 km) are the nearest options, all set within or beside the Maro-Cerro Gordo natural area, which keeps them quieter than the main town beaches. Nerja itself holds four Blue Flag beaches, Burriana, Maro, Playazo-Chucho and Torrecilla, offering lifeguarded swimming and facilities within a short drive. For boating, Marina del Este lies 9.8 km away. Sport provision is unusually broad for a town of this size, with 125 sports facilities recorded in the municipality. Walking and hiking options include the nearby viewpoints and the coastal paths towards Cerro Gordo. Golf is the one major recreation absent from the immediate area, with the nearest courses around 61–65 km away near Málaga.

Within Nerja, the closest comparable is the Destination in Nerja development, priced from €850,000, above this villa's fixed €795,000 asking price, which frames the property competitively for a detached home with a private pool and solarium in the same municipality. Nerja's market differs from the western Costa del Sol in several respects. Transaction volume is moderate, at around 501 housing sales per year in the municipality, reflecting a smaller, more stable market than Marbella or Estepona. Development pressure is lower: the town has 22 hotels and roughly 2,400 tourist beds, a fraction of the capacity found further west, which keeps the off-season quieter. Comparing with Estepona's new-build pipeline, Acqua Gardens from €524,600 and Aby Upper from €320,000, those projects are apartment-led and priced per unit at a lower entry point, but they sit in a denser, more resort-oriented stretch of coast with golf courses nearby, which this location explicitly does not offer; the nearest golf is 61 km away. What Nerja provides instead is the La Axarquía setting: proximity to both Málaga (48 km) and Granada (54 km) as the crow flies, the protected Maro-Cerro Gordo coastline, four Blue Flag beaches and a genuinely year-round Spanish town of about 22,000 residents. For a buyer prioritising a detached villa with private outdoor space over on-site facilities or golf access, the trade-off is clear: fewer amenities within walking distance, the supermarket is 4.5 km away and a car is essential, in exchange for a quieter environment and an elevated position at 612 metres with sea and mountain views.
