Located within the municipality of Sayalonga in the Axarquía region, this detached villa sits on a substantial plot of 19,500 m². The property offers 280 m² of living space, featuring four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Situated at an elevation of 348 meters above sea level, the residence provides sea views and includes equestrian facilities.
Compared to coastal projects like Astra Homes in Fuengirola (price level from €364,000), this project in Sayalonga offers significantly more land. While coastal projects focus on apartments and dense developments with many shared amenities, this project offers privacy and space. The price of €1,350,000 is higher than average in Fuengirola, but this is explained by the unique combination of plot size (over 1.9 hectares) and equestrian facilities. Projects like Arosa in Mijas are in a park-like environment, but Sayalonga is authentically rural. The 'value for money' lies in the outdoor space and agricultural character, not in luxury shared amenities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated inland in the Axarquía region, specifically in Sayalonga. This rural area is characterized by mountainous terrain. Due to the distance to the coast (approximately 6.7 km to Playa de Mezquitilla as the crow flies) and the hillside location, the environment is quiet. Access involves local mountain roads.
This project is equipped for living with an emphasis on outdoor space and roominess. The layout includes a living room with a fireplace and a dining area. Outside, a private swimming pool is available. For storage, there are technical spaces such as a laundry room and storage room, as well as a double garage.
The villa is designed with elements of modern architecture mixed with traditional Andalusian style. A central patio organization provides natural light and connects the living spaces. Additional structures are present on the land, including an annex with glass facades for outdoor living.
Due to the remote location on nearly 20,000 m² of land, maintenance of the outdoor area is time-intensive. The nearest supermarket is 4.2 km away. The infrastructure requires a car; there is minimal public transportation in the immediate vicinity. Street lighting in rural areas is limited.
This property is relevant for buyers specifically seeking a combination of housing and equestrian facilities. The presence of a riding arena and stables makes the object functional for professional or recreational horse sports. It also suits families who demand a high degree of privacy and wish to distance themselves from tourist hubs. Additionally, it can serve as a second home for those willing to maintain a large country estate. The distance to the airport (approximately 45 km) makes it less suitable for frequent commuters without a car.
The construction combines exterior walls resistant to the local climate with interior finishes. In the bathroom(s), amenities such as a sauna and glass elements have been applied. The kitchen is partially fitted with fixed furniture. Double glazing is used for insulation. For climate control, air conditioning is available. Materials used are resistant to the sun, as seen in the terraces and pool area.
The asking price for this property is set at €1,350,000. This positions the home in the higher segment of the Sayalonga region, partly due to the plot size of 19,500 m². There are no apartment complexes or 'starter homes' in this direct price range on the plot. The pricing reflects the exclusivity of the land area and the existing construction.
Daily life at this location is defined by the contrast between countryside living and proximity to the coast. The morning often starts with views over the mountain valleys towards the sea. The presence of a paddock and riding arena (with three stables) provides space for horse lovers. The garden offers room for cultivating food or sports activities. In the evening hours, the distance from urban centers ensures a silence that is uncommon for the Costa del Sol, with the private pool and gym on the property serving as recreational hubs.
The environment offers facilities for daily needs within a radius of several kilometers. There are restaurants, banks, and cafés within a 2 km radius of Sayalonga. The pharmacy is located 89 meters from the location, bringing basic medical care close by. For extensive amenities, such as larger supermarkets or specialized care, a trip to Vélez-Málaga or the coastal towns is necessary.
The map shows the location in the hills of Sayalonga, with distances to coastal towns (such as Torrox) and Málaga. The plot is marked in a rural zone.
Sayalonga is part of the comarca La Axarquía, known for its white villages and mountain landscape. It lies approximately 38 km from Málaga city and 12 km from Vélez-Málaga. The position is inland, making it less touristy than direct coastal towns like Nerja or Torrox Costa. The environment is characterized by agriculture and nature.
The location is approximately 6.7 km from the beach (Playa de Mezquitilla) as the crow flies. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is at a distance of 45 km. For golfers, facilities such as Club de Golf Málaga Parador (43 km) are available. A car is necessary; the local roads are mountainous and this influences travel time compared to straight-line distances. Public transport is limited to one line and four stops in the area.
