This project in Alcaucín presents a development plan for 52 semi-detached townhouses on a 7,950 m² plot. Located inland at an elevation of 515 meters, the site offers mountain views and a rural atmosphere. Construction is currently ongoing, with completion rates ranging between 40% and 70% depending on the specific unit. The project holds all necessary permits to resume construction immediately. It is a quiet development situated away from the coastal bustle, focused on permanent living or residence in a country setting.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in the municipality of Alcaucín in the Axarquía region of Málaga. This is a rural area known for its mountain ranges and natural scenery. The location is approximately 17 to 18 km (as the crow flies) from the nearest beaches, including Playa de La Caleta. The area is characterized by a rustic atmosphere and authentic Andalusian villages. Due to the rural setting and elevation, the surroundings are less urbanized than the coastal strip.
The homes are designed with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, making them suitable for families or couples seeking space. Each unit includes a private garage, providing a practical solution for car storage in an area where public transport is limited. The total plot area (7,950 m²) allows for communal amenities and privacy between units. The townhouse type combines the privacy of a detached home with the maintenance benefits of a shared structure.
Construction on this project is partially advanced. Current status shows a completion percentage between 40% and 70% for various units. This means the shell and parts of the finishings are already visible. Technical drawings and permits are complete and available, allowing for an immediate resumption of work. Buyers should consider that construction activities will continue in the vicinity until the project is fully completed.
This project is not located directly on the beach; the distance to the sea is over 17 kilometers. The terrain is mountainous, meaning there are slopes and elevation differences. A car is necessary for daily amenities as supermarkets are 3.2 km away and public transport is limited. The project is not situated in a tourist center like Marbella or Fuengirola, implying fewer facilities within walking distance in the evening.
This project suits investors or developers looking to invest capital in a semi-completed residential project with the aim of finishing and selling. It also fits a group of private individuals wishing to create a collective housing project. For those seeking a move-in-ready vacation home for use this coming summer, this is not suitable given the required construction time. It fits those with an affinity for the Axarquía region and who do not shy away from the specific challenges of property development in Spain. The combination of nature and a construction project requires an active role from the owner.
The project comprises 52 townhouses. Each home features a private garage and terrace. The finishings can be partly customized due to the unfinished status. There is
The asking price for the entire project is listed from €4,100,000. This represents an investment in the development project (likely the land with building rights and partially completed construction) rather than the price for a single home. For buyers of individual units (if offered separately), prices will depend on the completion stage. Given the location and plot size, the asking price represents a significant investment compared to standard coastal apartments. Value is determined by potential and project scale.
Alcaucín offers a living environment centered around tranquility and nature. With a population of approximately 595 residents in the core, it is a small community. The daily routine here involves living on mountainous terrain with panoramic views. Residents are dependent on cars for groceries and outings. The proximity to nature, including viewpoints like Mirador de Miguel Álvarez, invites hiking and enjoying the outdoors. The climate is moderate, with warm summers and cooler evenings than the coast due to the altitude. It is a place for those willing to trade direct access to convenience for space and silence.
The immediate environment is rural with apartments and houses scattered across the hills. A pharmacy is located 25 meters away, essential for daily first aid. For beach visits, one must account for a travel time of at least 25-30 minutes towards the coast (Rincón de la Victoria/Torre del Mar). Málaga Airport is 42 km away as the crow flies, which can mean an hour's drive. There is one public transport stop nearby, underscoring car dependency. The proximity to sports facilities (10 facilities in the region) and local pools (Piscina Municipal) offers options for outdoor recreation.
The map shows the rural location of the project in Alcaucín, directly accessible via local roads. The focus is on the distance to the coastline (approx. 17 km as the crow flies) and the surrounding mountains. Note the elevation difference of 515 meters above sea level.
Within the Málaga region, Alcaucín is located in the Axarquía, bordering the province of Granada. It is a transition area between the coast and the interior. Compared to the busy western coast (Marbella), this part of the Costa del Sol is more authentic and quieter. The project location is strategically chosen for those seeking the peace of the 'Pueblos Blancos' (white villages) while remaining connected to the infrastructure of Málaga city 54 km away.
A car is essential. The supermarket is 3.2 km away and the hospital 4.9 km. The nearest beaches (Playa de La Caleta) are 17 km away as the crow flies, but due to mountain roads, actual travel time is longer. Golf courses like Club de Golf Málaga Parador are 42 km away. For international travel, Málaga Airport (AGP) is the main hub, accessible via the A-7 and A-356 highways towards the interior.

Alcaucín is situated at 515 meters above sea level. This results in a slightly cooler climate than the coast, often a relief on summer nights. There are an average of 3,894 sunshine hours per year. The swimming temperature is above 20 degrees for roughly 4 months a year. The location at the foot of the mountains provides a dynamic landscape with views of the Tejeda and Almijara ranges. The presence of forests and scrubland contributes to the rustic character.

Although the project is inland, the beaches of the Eastern Costa del Sol are accessible. Playa de La Caleta is the nearest beach. For recreation in the immediate vicinity, there is the Piscina Municipal Alcaucín at 300 meters, an excellent facility for hot summer days. The area lends itself to hiking and cycling in the mountains, enjoying the 'miradors' (viewpoints). For golf enthusiasts, there are various courses in the region, though some travel time is required.

Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000) or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000), this project in Alcaucín is positioned quite differently. While coastal projects often focus on luxury apartments or 'lock-up-and-go' homes with direct access to beaches and nightlife, Alcaucín offers a 'slow living' alternative. The asking price of €4,100,000 for the whole reflects a business investment in the development phase, rather than a consumer home price. The surface area per home and the presence of a garage are larger here than in coastal projects, fitting the rural living need (more storage, less dining directly nearby). For those wanting to escape the 'Costa del Golf' bustle, Alcaucín offers an authentic alternative with lower real estate prices per m² compared to the first coastline, but with higher transport dependency.
