This 68-hectare estate in Alfarnatejo offers extensive terrain for agricultural or development purposes. With a surface area of 680,000 m² and existing infrastructure including a private spring, warehouses, and silos, the location is set up for utility use. The plot is situated at 856 meters altitude in the Montes de Málaga. The immediate environment has limited amenities; a pharmacy is within 118 meters and a supermarket at 2.0 km. Access to the coast and Málaga Airport requires approximately 30 to 40 minutes of travel time.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in the municipality of Alfarnatejo, within the Málaga region. The setting is inland and mountainous, characterized by an elevation of 856 meters above sea level. The immediate surroundings consist of nature and agricultural land. The nearest town center with basic amenities is within walking or cycling distance.
This project is not intended for traditional residential living (no villa with landscaping). The portfolio is geared towards commercial or agricultural exploitation, such as ecotourism, arable farming, or livestock. The presence of private water extraction and storage facilities supports this functional destination.
Since this concerns a plot (Land), there is no new build procedure for homes. No completion dates or construction phases for residences apply. Any development would require separate permits.
Buyers must consider the distance to the coast (29 km) and the airport (39 km). The property is not provided with city connections such as sewage or gas; users are dependent on private facilities. The physical environment is rural and sparsely populated, meaning immediate daily luxury goods are further away.

This plot fits investors or entrepreneurs looking to be active in the agricultural sector or tourism, and who prefer a rural, remote setting. It is suitable for those wishing to develop a project such as a campsite, farm, or hotel. Given the distance to schools and urban amenities, it is less suitable as a family home for those dependent on daily city facilities.
No housing finish specifications apply. The land features utility infrastructure: a private water source ('La Teja'), silos, and a kitchen. The quality of roads and physical access to the terrain affects its use and should be assessed on-site.
The asking price for this plot starts at €1,250,000. There is an option to expand with an additional 18 hectares of land for an extra price. There are no variations in housing types or finishes, as it only involves land. The price thus reflects the value of the surface area and existing infrastructure.
Alfarnatejo is a small municipality with approximately 187 inhabitants, resulting in a very quiet and secluded living environment. Daily reality here is defined by agriculture, nature, and silence. Amenities are present but limited: there are four restaurants and two pharmacies within a 2 km radius. A car is essential for reaching larger cities or beaches. The climate is continental with hot summers and cool winters; average temperatures range from 7°C to 24°C. The area lends itself to activities such as hiking and mountain biking in the mountains.
The living environment in Alfarnatejo is quiet and pastoral. There is a strong sense of community among the locals (called 'Tejones'). The surroundings offer panoramic views of the mountains and valleys of the Axarquía region. There are 32 local holidays annually. The proximity to the Alto de Hondonero viewpoint (4.1 km) offers recreational opportunities for hikers.
The map shows the extensive contours of the plot (680,000 m²) north of the center of Alfarnatejo. The topography is undulating with steep slopes, visible in the contour lines. The road to the plot is unpaved.
Alfarnatejo is located in the northeast of the province of Málaga, nestled between the Montes de Málaga and the Axarquía. It is one of the highest municipalities in the area. The positioning is inland; the costa is not visible from the plot. The location therefore offers privacy and quiet, but requires travel time for visits to the coastal region (Costa del Sol).
The nearest beach (Playa Victoria) is located at a distance of 29 km (as the crow flies), which translates to a drive time of approximately 35-40 minutes. Málaga Airport is 39 km away. For daily groceries, a supermarket is available at 2.0 km distance. Medical care in the form of a hospital is found at 17 km. A public charging point for electric vehicles is located 11 km away.

Compared to projects in coastal towns like Mijas or Fuengirola, the price per square meter here is significantly lower, but the destination is fundamentally different (land vs. home). The comparison projects in the database are modern residential complexes on the coast. Where one lives in Fuengirola for the beach and nightlife, this plot in Alfarnatejo offers space, tranquility, and agricultural potential. Accessibility to amenities is less direct in Alfarnatejo than on the coast.
