Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

The property is situated in a rural setting near Canillas de Aceituno. It provides direct access to the natural environment of the Axarquía region. Due to the rural nature and distance to amenities, a private vehicle is necessary for daily transportation.

Layout

This villa offers functional living space with 3 bedrooms. The 5,160 m² plot provides ample space for outdoor living and privacy. A private swimming pool is included. The layout addresses basic needs with a fully fitted kitchen and living areas.

Project Status

This is an existing property. The condition is listed as 'Good'. There are no specific new construction phases or delivery dates applicable, as the property is available for immediate occupancy.

Points of Attention

The home is situated at 650 meters above sea level, meaning there are elevation changes in the immediate surroundings. Amenities like supermarkets and medical care are kilometers away. The location is not suitable for those reliant on public transportation.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This situation suits residents actively seeking isolation and extensive outdoor space. It is appropriate for individuals with no desire for immediate proximity to hospitality or nightlife. Choosing this location implies a willingness to drive daily for work, school, or larger errands. It is a logical option for those prioritizing physical space and privacy over walking distance to amenities. The distance to the coast (approx. 14 km as the crow flies) allows for day trips, but daily beach visits are not spontaneous. People with health issues related to coastal humidity or heat may benefit from the altitude and drier air.

Build Quality & Finishing

The home boasts a 'Good' state of maintenance. Finishing materials include a fully fitted kitchen and a fireplace in the living room. Technical provisions include an alarm system and telephone connection. Sanitary facilities consist of two bathrooms, one en-suite with the master bedroom. The pool is private. Given the price point of €281,400 for a villa with a large plot, finishes are expected to be functional and solid, but not necessarily luxury.

Price & Context

Price & Availability

The asking price is set at €281,400. This is a fixed price for the entire home including the 5,160 m² plot. There is no variation in living space within this project, so prices do not vary by type. Pricing is in Euros.

Context & Surroundings

Daily life here is defined by tranquility and distance. You reside in a rural setting where the proximity to 'La Maroma' mountain is dominant. While a pharmacy is within walking distance (51 m), other groceries require a trip of about 4.4 km. Evenings are largely spent on the property due to limited direct environmental facilities. The large plot size allows for self-sufficient gardening or extensive hobby space. The climate is moderate with an annual average of 16.7°C, implying winters are cooler than the coast. The 32 local annual holidays offer moments of social cohesion but require planning due to village traffic.

Regional Comparison

Compared to coastal projects like Astra Homes in Fuengirola (starting €364,000), this project in Canillas de Aceituno offers significantly more land for a lower entry price (€281,400). While coastal projects are densely populated and offer luxury facilities, this project offers space and privacy. However, access to beaches and international schools is less direct. The distance to the airport is similar (43 km), but travel time differs due to mountainous terrain. Compared to Waterfall Residences (€720,000), this represents a fundamentally different market segment focused on budget and space rather than luxury and location.
