Nestled in the Axarquía region of Málaga, this property in Totalán offers a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial plot of land with existing agricultural potential. The farm spans 60,000 square metres and is currently cultivated with mango, avocado, and grape vines. Located approximately 30 minutes from Málaga city centre and its international airport, the estate combines rural tranquility with accessibility to urban amenities. It features two wells and partial fencing, providing resources and security.
Compared to properties in Puerto Banús (like VL542556, starting from €370,000), this Totalán estate offers a significantly larger plot of land at a lower entry price. Unlike developments in La Heredia (such as VL814808, from €425,000), this property is not part of an established community. While properties in La Duquesa (e.g., VL924209 from €275,000) may offer proximity to golf courses and marinas, this Totalán property provides a more secluded rural setting. The value lies in the agricultural potential and the size of the land.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Situated in the municipality of Totalán, the property benefits from a hillside location offering views of the surrounding countryside. Its proximity to Málaga, approximately 22 kilometres away, allows for convenient access to the city's services while maintaining a rural setting. The land is positioned away from major urban development, providing a sense of seclusion.
This property caters to individuals seeking a large agricultural estate with potential for a self-sufficient lifestyle. The existing house on the property presents the opportunity to create a three-bedroom residence. The land is suited to agricultural pursuits, with established mango, avocado, and grape cultivation.
The property includes an existing house which requires renovation or reconstruction. While not a new build in the traditional sense, the house offers the possibility to create a bespoke living space. The lower part of the farm contains the ruins of an old olive oil mill, which could be a feature in landscaping plans.
This property does not offer immediate modern living. The existing house requires significant renovation. While close to the coast, it is not directly on the beachfront. The property is not part of a gated community and relies on its own resources for water, drawn from its two wells.
This property suits those drawn to rural living and agricultural pursuits. It may appeal to those seeking a project where they can create a personalised home. A suitable buyer might be looking for an escape from urban life, or perhaps seeking to establish a small agricultural business. It is ideal for buyers who appreciate the blend of rural life with access to the amenities of Málaga.
The existing house on the property offers a basic structure to build upon. Materials for renovation will need to be sourced independently. The property's value lies in its land and agricultural potential rather than its existing structure. Any modernisation will require a comprehensive renovation plan, using locally sourced materials where possible, to ensure harmony with the surroundings.
Priced from €335,000, this property represents a significant land investment. The price reflects the size of the plot, existing agricultural assets, and the potential for residential development. Prospective buyers should factor in renovation costs for the house. Availability is subject to negotiation with the seller.
Life on this Totalán farm involves a connection to the land and agricultural rhythms. The days may start with tending to the mango and avocado trees, followed by exploring the grounds. The existing house, once renovated, would offer a place to relax and enjoy the views. Evenings might be spent outdoors, enjoying the sunset over the Andalusian countryside. The local village atmosphere of Totalán offers a contrast to the busier coastal resorts.
