This property, situated in the heart of Cómpeta, offers a traditional semi-detached village house with a gross floor area of 468 m². Dating back to 1965, the residence requires restoration, allowing for personal customization. The layout includes 8 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms distributed over multiple floors around a central patio. The location is urban: amenities such as supermarkets and pharmacies are within walking distance. With a plot size of 170 m² and an elevation of 646 meters above sea level, this presents a property with a distinct village character.
Compared to modern developments in coastal towns like Estepona (Acqua Gardens, from €418,800), this project in Cómpeta offers a much lower entry price per square meter. However, unlike 'turn-key' new build projects, this object requires significant investment in renovation. Where coastal projects focus on luxury and amenities like pools and communal gardens, this project offers space and authenticity in a historic context. The target audience differs: here one seeks character and price advantage, while on the coast one often pays for convenience and modern specifications.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The residence is located in a neighborhood within Cómpeta, positioned at 646 meters above sea level. The surroundings are characterized by urban density with direct access to local facilities. A supermarket is situated 133 meters away and a pharmacy at 58 meters. The property offers views of the urban environment and the surrounding hills. The distance to the coast is 10 kilometers as the crow flies.
This object meets the need for spacious accommodation with multiple rooms. The presence of 8 bedrooms makes it suitable for large families or for use as guest accommodation. The private terraces and roof terrace provide outdoor space. The need for restoration offers the opportunity to align the layout and finishes with personal living requirements.
This is not a new build project. The house was built in 1965 and is in a state requiring renovation. Technical installations and finishes need to be modernized. There is no indication of handover dates as with new builds, but rather of existing construction to be renovated at the buyer's expense.
The project requires significant renovation. It is not move-in ready. Amenities such as air conditioning or modern insulation are not guaranteed. The elevation at 646 meters above sea level means cooler winters than the coast. The property is not located on the beach but in the hinterland. No specific information is available regarding on-site parking.
This project suits buyers looking for a spacious home in an authentic village and willing to renovate. It is suitable for those who can utilize 8 bedrooms, such as a large family or for rental purposes. The location in Cómpeta appeals to those who prefer life in a 'pueblo blanco' over a coastal apartment. A car is needed for trips to the coast or airport, but daily groceries can be done on foot.
The residence requires full renovation. The current state shows elements of traditional construction, such as a central patio and tiled stairs. Materials and finishes are dated and do not meet modern living standards. The buyer has the freedom to choose materials and layout but must budget for roof work, sanitation, electricity, and wall/floor finishes. There are Urban views and a Private Terrace.
The asking price for this property starts at €212,000. Given the surface area of 468 m², this implies a price per square meter significantly lower than new build projects on the coast. However, one must account for renovation costs. Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800), the entry price is considerably lower, targeting buyers with a renovation budget.
Cómpeta presents itself as a typical Andalusian village, located in the foothills of the Axarquía. The day often begins in the immediate vicinity, with amenities within walking distance. The supermarket at 133 meters and the pharmacy at 58 meters support a daily rhythm where a car is not always necessary. The streets in the area are narrow and authentic, contributing to a traditional atmosphere. In the evenings, one can utilize the various restaurants nearby. The distance to the beach (Playa del Morche) is 10 kilometers as the crow flies, requiring a drive to visit the sea. The elevation provides panoramic views of the surroundings.
The living environment is the center of Cómpeta. This means living right in the village life. There are 16 restaurants and 4 pharmacies within a 2-kilometer radius. For daily amenities, one does not have to travel far. The location is 49 kilometers from Malaga airport, which can mean about 55 minutes of driving time via mountain roads. Accessibility to the coast is good via the highway, but the distance is a factor to consider.
The map shows the position of the house in the urban center of Cómpeta. Blue markers indicate beaches nearby (10 km as the crow flies), while the green surroundings denote the mountains of the Sierra de Almijara. Malaga airport is situated bottom left on the map at approximately 50 km distance.
Cómpeta is located in the Axarquía, east of Málaga. It is one of the 'pueblos blancos' at the foot of the Sierra Tejeda. The position is inland, approximately 18 km from the coastline. Compared to direct coastal towns like Torrox or Nerja, Cómpeta offers a more rural, quieter character with a focus on local village events (32 holidays per year).
Accessibility by car is essential for longer distances, such as to the airport (49 km as the crow flies) or golf courses (48 km for Club de Golf Málaga Parador). For local transport, a car is handy but not strictly necessary; public transport is available with 1 line and 2 stops nearby. A beach visit means a trip of approximately 30 minutes to Playa del Morche.
