This property consists of a spacious townhouse spanning 210 m² located in the historic center of Cómpeta, Málaga. The dwelling currently offers 7 bedrooms and 1 bathroom distributed over four floors. Registered as requiring renovation and restoration, it provides buyers the opportunity to modernize the layout to their own specifications. Situated at 646 meters above sea level, the plot offers views over the urban landscape and the Axarquía mountains. The listing price starts from €210,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is positioned in the core of Cómpeta, with urban amenities within close reach. The distance to the nearest supermarket is approximately 133 meters, and a pharmacy is located 58 meters away. This is an urban environment within a mountainous region (Sierra de Almijara), characterized by traditional street patterns and sloping roads.
The current layout of 7 bedrooms suggests suitability for large families or a business-residence combination, subject to renovation execution. The presence of a private terrace and storage room adds functional value. Given the property's condition, it is primarily suitable for buyers seeking a 'shell' structure and willing to transform the space to modern living standards.
This is not a new development project. The home holds a status of 'Renovation Required' and 'Restoration Required'. A new roof has been installed and the ground floor re-rendered, but the interior requires full renovation, including kitchen, sanitary facilities, plumbing, and electrical systems. The structure is described as solid.
The property is delivered unfurnished. There is only one bathroom for 7 bedrooms, necessitating plumbing modifications during the renovation phase. The home is located 49 km from Malaga Airport and beaches are approximately 10 km away, meaning daily beach access is not immediately at the doorstep. A vehicle is recommended for accessibility.

This project fits buyers actively seeking a renovation project and valuing the charm of a historic property over the immediate 'turn-key' luxury of new builds. It suits those wishing to settle in an authentic Spanish village and willing to invest time and resources into restoration. It also offers potential for investors looking to combine commercial space (ground floor) with residential use.
The dwelling features original elements such as handmade floor tiles, wooden beams, and Juliette balconies. The structure is noted as solid with a new roof. However, the finish is outdated. Bathrooms and kitchen do not meet modern standards and require full renewal. Piping and electricity need inspection and replacement where necessary. Flooring is partly marble, but the overall finish requires professional customization.
The asking price starts from €210,000. Given the square footage (210 m²) and the number of bedrooms (7), the price per m² is relatively low compared to new build projects on the coast. This is largely due to the necessary investment for renovation. Buyers should budget for additional renovation costs to bring the home up to contemporary living standards.
Cómpeta is a typical 'pueblo blanco' (white village) in the Axarquía region, characterized by a lively community life and historic architecture. Living here means integrating into a Spanish mountain village community. With 16 restaurants and various banks in the immediate vicinity, there is a full-service infrastructure. The annual 32 fiesta days indicate a rich cultural life. The elevation of 638-646 meters ensures cooler evenings in summer compared to the coast and spectacular views of the surroundings.
The living environment in Cómpeta is dynamic and central. All daily amenities such as supermarkets (133 m), pharmacies (58 m), and medical care are within short walking distance. The coast (Playa del Morche) is 10 km away as the crow flies, but due to the mountainous terrain, this is a 20-25 minute drive. The village has 13 sports facilities and a polideportivo within 400 meters, facilitating participation in local sports.
The map shows the central location of the project in the urban area of Cómpeta. The elevation differences in the terrain are clearly visible, as is the green environment of the Sierra de Almijara. Distances to the coast (blue) and the airport (airplane icon) are shown as the crow flies.
Cómpeta is located in the Axarquía comarca, 18 km from the coastline and 52 km from the provincial capital Malaga. Its position is central in the hinterland of the Eastern Costa del Sol. It serves as a gateway to the nature parks Sierra Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama. Compared to coastal towns like Estepona or Benalmádena, this area offers a rural, quieter lifestyle with lower real estate prices.
Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is located 49 km away (as the crow flies), approximately a 50-minute drive. The nearest beaches are 10 km away. Golf courses are further afield, with Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 48 km. For public transport, there are 2 stops and 1 line available in the immediate vicinity. A car is practical for coast and airport access, but not strictly necessary for daily life in the village.

Cómpeta sits at 646 meters above sea level in the foothills of La Maroma. This results in an average annual temperature of 16.4°C. There are approximately 3,909 sun hours per year. The elevation provides a more pleasant summer climate compared to the coastal valley, though winters can be cooler. The swimming season lasts about 4 months, but proximity to the coast makes sea bathing possible for much of the year.

Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (starting at €418,800) or Aby Upper in Estepona (starting at €320,000), this property in Cómpeta offers a significantly lower entry price (starting at €210,000). This difference is explained by the property's condition (renovation needed) and location (inland vs. coast). While coastal new builds are often delivered 'Turnkey' with community amenities (pools, gyms), this project requires an investment of time and money in finishing. The price per m² is attractive for those willing to renovate. Compared to Alba Benalmadena (starting at €699,000), this is a budget-friendly alternative in a more traditional, Spanish setting.
