This property is a detached villa located in the inland region of Málaga, specifically in the municipality of Canillas de Aceituno. Situated on a 6,360 m² plot, the residence offers 182 m² of living space. The villa features four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The setting is rural and quiet, situated at approximately 515 meters above sea level at the foot of the La Maroma mountain range. The property underwent renovation in 2018 and includes amenities such as air conditioning, a heated pool, and multiple terraces. The price is listed at €849,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated in a rural zone of Canillas de Aceituno. The immediate environment is characterized by mountainous terrain and countryside construction. The property is located at a distance of approximately 14 kilometers (as the crow flies) from the nearest beaches of the Costa del Sol. The location is removed from city centers, resulting in a direct environment consisting mainly of nature and other rural residences.
The residence is designed for occupants requiring significant interior space and an outdoor lifestyle. With a plot size exceeding 6,000 m², the terrain offers ample room for privacy and garden maintenance. The presence of four bedrooms and four bathrooms makes the house suitable for large families or situations expecting high guest traffic. The layout includes a living room with a fireplace and an open kitchen.
This is not a new construction project. The villa is an existing build that was renovated in 2018. During this renovation, high-quality materials were utilized, and installations such as air conditioning and a heated swimming pool were implemented. The home is immediately habitable and is offered furnished and equipped. There is no construction phase or future handover involved.
The location necessitates the use of a private car for all daily errands. The distance to basic amenities such as a supermarket is 4.4 kilometers. The villa does not have public transport within walking distance. Given the mountainous location and distance from the coast, this project is not suitable for buyers seeking direct beach access or seafront apartments. The broadband internet connection is via satellite (Starlink).

This residence suits occupants who prioritize quiet, space, and nature over the bustle of the coast. It is appropriate for families needing multiple bedrooms and requiring a large garden. It is also relevant for individuals working from home reliant on good internet, as the property is equipped with a Starlink connection. The presence of a tourist license makes it viable for buyers intending to rent the property as a holiday home, although the inland location dictates a specific guest profile.
The villa was renovated in 2018 with a focus on modern comfort and aesthetics. The living room features a fireplace and high ceilings contributing to a sense of space. The kitchen includes SMEG appliances and an American refrigerator. Bathroom facilities have been modernized. The grounds feature a heated pool powered by solar panels, limiting operational costs. The garden is landscaped and includes an outdoor kitchen and BBQ area.
The asking price for this villa is set at €849,000. Only one residence is available within this project, as it is a unique detached villa. The price includes the existing inventory and furnishings. There is no variation in housing types or prices within this specific offering.
Canillas de Aceituno is a small village with approximately 1,039 inhabitants, located at the foot of La Maroma. Daily life here is defined by the tranquility and space of the mountainous hinterland. The elevation of 515 meters ensures cooler summer temperatures and shade on the plot, depending on the sun's position. With 3,894 hours of sunshine per year, there is ample daylight, though evenings can be cool, making the fireplace in the living room a functional asset. For daily groceries, one relies on local facilities in the village 4.4 km away. The larger city of Vélez-Málaga is further removed, shifting the focus of daily life to the village and its immediate surroundings.
The immediate living environment consists of the green hills surrounding Canillas de Aceituno. It is a rural setting with minimal traffic. For social activities and dining, one relies on the village itself, which hosts three restaurants within a 2-kilometer radius. The environment invites hiking and nature activities in the mountainous Axarquía region. The location is not suitable for those seeking a direct walk to a wide beach or a vibrant nightlife scene.
The map displays the location of the villa in the mountains directly east of Canillas de Aceituno. Distances to the coast (approx. 14 km north) and the airport (approx. 43 km west) are visualized. Access is via local mountain roads.
Canillas de Aceituno is located in the eastern part of the province of Málaga, in the Axarquía region. It is one of the white mountain villages that characterize this region. The distance to the coast is approximately 14 kilometers, making it a 'coast-near' but not 'coast-on' project. The village is historical and authentic, in contrast to the modern urban developments along the coastline of Torre del Mar or Vélez-Málaga.
The villa is accessible via local roads connecting the village to the hinterland. A car is essential. Málaga Airport is located at a distance of 43 kilometers (as the crow flies). The nearest beaches, such as Playa de La Caleta, are 14 kilometers away. Amenities like hospitals (5.5 km) and supermarkets (4.4 km) are accessible by car within minutes. There is one public transport stop in the vicinity, but frequency typically necessitates private transport.

The location is situated 515 meters above sea level, influencing the climate. The average annual temperature is 16.7°C. Due to the altitude, evenings and nights can cool down compared to the coastal strip. There is a long swimming season along the coast (4 months), but temperatures in the mountains do not directly follow this pattern. The region enjoys 3,894 hours of sunshine per year. The northern position on the mountain slope affects specific sunlight hours on the terrain.

The nearest beaches are Playa de La Caleta and Playa de Mezquitilla, both at a distance of 14 kilometers (as the crow flies). This requires a car journey of approximately 20-25 minutes. For land-based recreation, the environment offers opportunities for hiking and climbing in the La Maroma mountains. For golf, one must travel to courses in the coastal region, such as Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 42 kilometers distance.

Compared to coastal projects such as in Fuengirola or Mijas, this project in Canillas de Aceituno offers significantly more land (6,360 m²) at a price that would barely secure an apartment on the coast. Projects like 'Arosa' in Mijas start from €490,000 but offer far less outdoor space and are located in a much busier environment. The Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000) are more modern but lack the authentic rural character and panoramic mountain views. Compared to an Astra Home (€364k), this project is almost incomparable in terms of volume and price; it is a unique property for buyers prioritizing privacy and tranquility over immediate access to golf courses and beach promenades.
