This property represents the acquisition of an entire residential hamlet comprising 14 townhouses and associated facilities, located in the municipality of Viñuela. The accommodation offers a total living area of approximately 1,618 m² on a 5,000 m² plot. The buildings, partly erected around original structures dating back up to 800 years, have been renovated while preserving authentic features such as cobbled streets. The complex features 31 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms distributed across the individual units, with a capacity to host up to 49 guests. Amenities include an industrial kitchen, communal areas, a swimming pool, and staff quarters.
Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000) or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000), this project is unique in terms of scale and nature of the offer. While those projects offer individual apartments or villas in urban or coastal areas, this complex in Viñuela offers a complete entity for group accommodation in a rural setting. The price per square meter differs significantly due to the historical value and commercial potential of the total portfolio, rather than the price of a single home.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The complex is situated inland in the Axarquía region, near the Viñuela reservoir. The elevation provides views over the surrounding rural landscape. The environment is characterized by tranquility and agricultural activity. The coastal towns of Torre del Mar and Vélez-Málaga are within a short driving distance. The immediate vicinity is rural, with scattered development.
This unique collection of homes is suitable for large-scale guest accommodation, such as corporate retreats, family celebrations, or cultural groups. The layout of multiple self-contained units offers privacy for guests alongside central communal amenities. The presence of an industrial kitchen facilitates catering for large groups. It functions as a practical complex for commercial rental or as a private residence for an extended family.
This project is not new construction but a renovated historic complex. The homes have been modernized in various phases, preserving original walls and structures. Maintenance has been adapted to modern standards, though characteristic elements such as thick walls and uneven floors may remain. No planned developments or new construction plans apply.
Due to the rural location, private transport is essential; there are no organized public transport stops directly at the door. The surroundings are hilly, which can make walking physically more demanding. Amenities such as supermarkets and medical care require a short drive. The location near the lake does not offer direct swimming facilities on the property itself; residents rely on the pool or nearby beaches.
This fits an investor looking for a 'turn-key' hospitality business, such as a boutique hotel or retreat center. It also suits families seeking a large, multi-generational residence where everyone has their own privacy. The location requires a love for country living and a willingness to drive for urban amenities. It is less suitable for those seeking a low-maintenance apartment or immediate access to nightlife. Experience in hospitality management is a given asset considering the scale of the facilities.
The finishing is characterized by a mix of historic elements and modern necessities. Rustic kitchens, balconies with wooden shutters, and natural stone features dominate the visual aspect. The walls are partly traditionally built. Attention has been paid to preserving the village atmosphere, meaning not all finishes are sleek and modern. Technical installations have been modernized to meet current comfort and safety standards.
The asking price for the entire complex is set at €2,950,000. This involves the purchase of the full portfolio of 14 homes and communal facilities. There are no separate options to purchase parts of the complex. The pricing reflects the scale, the capacity for groups, and the unique historic nature of the location. Availability is immediate, subject to contractual negotiations.
This estate functions as a miniature village. The day begins on the central street paved with stones leading to the various houses. Guests gather in the large communal area or have breakfast on the terraces overlooking the lake and mountains. The industrial kitchen serves as the heart for large-scale catering. The proximity to the village of Viñuela means that basic groceries are not far away, while the bustle of the coast remains at a distance. It is a place that invites extended stays for groups seeking peace but requiring facilities for activities like yoga or workshops in the open air.
The surroundings are rural with ample space and natural beauty. The Viñuela reservoir is a prominent visual element. The region is popular for hiking and mountain biking due to the hilly terrain. Population density is low, ensuring a quiet living atmosphere. There is a strong local community in the nearby villages, but the complex itself offers complete privacy.
The map shows the rural position east of the Viñuela lake. The distance to the coastline is clearly visible, as is the proximity to the main roads leading to the coast and Malaga.

The nearest beaches, such as Playa de La Caleta, are approximately 14 to 15 km away. Malaga Airport is accessible at 37 km. The nearest golf course is Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 37 km.
