This operational agricultural estate in Vélez-Málaga, a fertile farming area in Andalusia, presents an exceptional opportunity for investors. With established production of mangoes, avocados, and citrus fruits, its own water source, and recently renovated residential buildings, this property is ready to generate income immediately. It combines agricultural efficiency with comfortable living, situated in an urban environment with amenities within walking distance and a short distance from the coast.
Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens (from €418,800) or Aby Upper (from €320,000) in Estepona, this property is positioned in a higher price bracket, which is explainable by its significant agricultural activity and large plot size. The Finca in Vélez-Málaga offers a unique combination of a productive farm and living space, an aspect less common in the more residential projects in Estepona or Benalmádena (Alba Benalmadena, from €699,000). The price of €1,150,000 is justified by the scale of the plantation, the infrastructure such as water storage and solar energy, and the recently renovated living facilities. The location in Vélez-Málaga, an agricultural hub, differs from the more tourist-oriented coastal towns like Estepona and Benalmádena, offering a different set of lifestyles and investment opportunities. It provides a chance for stable agricultural returns, complemented by the potential of an estate on the Costa del Sol.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located inland in Vélez-Málaga, this finca offers a tranquil setting with the advantage of amenities within walking distance. Its proximity to the coast, with beaches approximately 5 km away as the crow flies, provides a pleasant balance between rural life and coastal access.
This property is suitable for buyers seeking a combination of an active agricultural business and a comfortable living environment. The renovated homes, including a guest house, offer flexibility for personal use, staff accommodation, or rental income.
While the primary focus is on the existing, operational plantation, the residential buildings have been recently renovated and modernized. This means the living facilities are move-in ready, while the agricultural infrastructure is continuously maintained and optimized.
This project is primarily an operational agricultural enterprise. The focus is on fruit production, meaning it is less suitable for buyers solely interested in a traditional villa without associated farming activities.
This Finca is a suitable choice for investors with an agricultural background or interest in sustainable farming, who are looking for an operational business with proven income streams. It is also suited for entrepreneurs seeking a lifestyle change, where work and living merge in a sunny environment. The presence of a guest house makes it attractive for those considering partial rental of the property or using it for seasonal worker accommodation. The combination of an existing, profitable plantation, a private water source, solar panels, and a central location near amenities and the coast appeals to buyers seeking a stable investment with a high quality of life.
The residential buildings have been recently renovated and are in excellent condition. The main house features a modern loft style with a fireplace and a master suite with access to a terrace with a jacuzzi. The materials and finishes used in the living areas are of a high standard, focused on comfort and durability. The agricultural infrastructure, including the irrigation system, the 1,000,000-liter water storage, and the 15kW solar energy system with battery storage, is designed for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This combination of modern living facilities and functional, sustainable agricultural technology distinguishes this property.
This Finca-Cortijo property in Vélez-Málaga is priced from €1,150,000. The property includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, spread across a living area of 934 m². The pricing reflects the size of the plot (17,298 m²), the operational agricultural production of mangoes, avocados, and citrus fruits, the existing water infrastructure including a large storage tank, and the recently renovated residential buildings. There is potential for additional income through the guest house and the possibility of adding a private swimming pool, which could increase the overall value over time.
