Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in the hinterland of the Axarquía, near the foot of La Maroma. The area is characterized by rural use, mainly olive groves, and a high degree of tranquility. The immediate environment is rural with a low population density. The distance to the coast (Torre del Mar) is approximately 17 to 18 kilometers as the crow flies.
The layout provides four bedrooms on a spacious plot of 10,207 m². This offers privacy and space for outdoor living. The presence of a covered terrace area with vines provides shade. The property includes a storage room and laundry area. The kitchen is partially fitted. There is parking space for multiple vehicles on the private grounds.
This concerns an existing home (Country House) being offered for sale. The state of repair is occupied, meaning the property is immediately available for use. There is no new construction project with a completion date, but rather an existing building delivered fully furnished.
The residence features only one bathroom, which may present a logistical limitation for four bedrooms and multiple occupants. The location requires the use of a car; the final access road is unpaved. Amenities such as supermarkets and medical care are several kilometers away. There is no swimming pool present on-site.

This property suits individuals seeking an escape from the hustle of the coast and cities, and who appreciate the space and privacy of the hinterland. It fits those who naturally accept car usage and do not require walking distance to shops. The location is relevant for buyers interested in natural beauty, hiking in the mountains (Sierra Tejeda), and a quiet pace of life. It is also suitable for those needing ample outdoor space for hobbies or animals.
The home is traditionally built with functional finishing. Fitted wardrobes are present. The kitchen is partially installed, indicating a traditional, non-high-end finish. The property includes a laundry and storage room, practical for a rural lifestyle. The finish is 'move-in ready', though renovation wishes to modern standards may be relevant for the new owner.
The asking price is set at €245,000. Given the plot area of over 10,000 m² and the existing 123 m² construction, the price per square meter is significantly lower than new construction projects on the coast. The home is offered including furniture, allowing for immediate habitation without additional investment in furnishings.
Alcaucín is located at 515 meters altitude, resulting in a cooler climate than the coast and panoramic views over the valley. The daily reality here is that of rural living with distances to amenities. The municipality has about 1,600 inhabitants, defining the atmosphere as traditional and village-like. Living here means enjoying space and starry skies, but also being prepared for the necessity of mobility. The plot of more than a hectare offers complete privacy and opportunities for gardening or agriculture.
The living environment is defined by the distance to amenities and the nature of the landscape. A supermarket is found at 3.2 km. A pharmacy is located just 25 meters away, bringing a unique level of convenience close by. Access to the property is partially paved, partially unpaved. The location near the Mirador de Miguel Álvarez adds recreational value for walkers.

Alcaucín is one of the 'Pueblos Blancos' of the Axarquía, bordering the province of Granada. It is one of the highest located municipalities on the north side of the Axarquía. The region is known for its olive oil, wines, and muscovado sugar. The distance to Malaga city is approximately 54 km.
Daily groceries require a car; the nearest supermarket is 3.2 km away. The beaches of La Caleta are 17 km away as the crow flies, but travel time is significant due to the mountainous terrain. Malaga Airport is 42 km away. There is one public transport stop in the vicinity, but cars are essential.

Compared to projects in coastal towns like Arosa (Mijas) or Astra Homes (Fuengirola), this property in Alcaucín offers significantly more outdoor space (1 hectare vs. apartments or townhouses) for a lower entry price (€245k vs. €364k+). However, the location is more rural and requires more mobility. Distances to beaches and golf courses are considerably greater in Alcaucín than in the direct coastal strip. The quality of finishes and amenity levels (bathrooms, insulation) are likely lower than in modern, expensive coastal projects.
