This project involves a detached villa located in the rural area of La Viñuela, Málaga. The property offers a living area of 320 m² on a plot of 4,418 m². With six bedrooms and four bathrooms, the object accommodates the space needs for large families. The location is characteristic of the Axarquía hinterland: rural, quiet, and with views of Lake Viñuela. The distance to the coast is approximately 14 to 15 kilometers.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in the La Viñuela area, at an elevation of approximately 166 meters above sea level. This position provides views of the surrounding hills and the reservoir. The location is inland, meaning that residents rely on car transport for mobility.
With 320 m² of living space and a plot of over 4,000 m², this project offers extensive outdoor space and privacy. The presence of a guest apartment with two bedrooms makes it suitable for receiving guests or family. The private pool and outdoor kitchen support a lifestyle focused on outdoor living.
This is an existing home. The condition is described as 'Good'. Characteristic elements such as wooden beamed ceilings and a wine cellar are present. For specific details regarding the construction phase or recent renovations, refer to the technical documentation.
The setting is rural and quiet, meaning that direct amenities like shops and dining within walking distance are absent. A car is essential for daily movement. The distance to the coast and airport requires planning for travel. The hillside location implies potential elevation changes within the plot.

This property is functional for households needing much space, both inside and out. The layout with a separate guest apartment suits situations where multiple generations live together or where frequent guests stay. People retreating from the bustle of the coast but wanting Málaga's facilities within reach will find an option here. The quiet and space also suit those working from home or in professions requiring much room. One must be aware of the dependence on a car.
The description mentions materials indicating a traditional construction style supplemented with modern comfort. Wooden beamed ceilings, a fireplace, and a wine cellar in the basement give the residence a distinctive character. Double glazing is used, contributing to insulation. The outdoor space is equipped with a barbecue area and kitchen, indicating a focus on outdoor living. The general state of maintenance is assessed as 'Good'.
The asking price for this villa is set at €850,000. For this amount, one obtains a plot of over 4,000 m², a main residence, and a guest apartment. Given the plot size and bedroom count, the price positions itself in the segment of spacious family homes in the hinterland. Prices for comparable objects in the Axarquía vary significantly based on views and plot size.
Living in La Viñuela means residing in an area dominated by the large reservoir. The environment is greener and more mountainous than the direct coastal strip. With over 3,800 hours of sunshine per year, the climate is one of the main attractions. The residence features an extensive outdoor area with multiple terraces and a pavilion, which is practical given the long Andalusian summers. The presence of a private well ensures water supply, a practical advantage in this dry region. The proximity to the village of La Viñuela (a few km away) offers basic amenities, while larger towns and the coast are a 30 to 45-minute drive away.
The immediate environment is characterized by agriculture and natural beauty around the lake. For daily groceries, one relies on facilities in La Viñuela or Los Romanes. The supermarket is located approximately 3 km away. For extensive shopping, medical specialists, and cultural facilities, one looks towards Vélez-Málaga or the coastal town of Torre del Mar. Infrastructure in the region is good, but the mountainous terrain requires sufficient driving experience, especially in adverse weather.
The map shows the location of the villa relative to the Viñuela reservoir and surrounding mountains. Distances to the coast and the airport are shown as straight-line distances, indicative of driving times in this mountainous region.
La Viñuela is located in the comarca La Axarquía, in the east of the province of Málaga. It acts as a transition between the coast and the interior. The location is strategic for those seeking inland quiet but wishing to retain the accessibility of the coast (Costa del Sol). The area is less touristically developed than the west coast.
Málaga Airport is located at a distance of 37 km (as the crow flies), generally amounting to a drive of 40 to 50 minutes. The coast, with beaches like Playa de La Caleta, is accessible at approximately 14 to 15 km. Golf courses are found at a distance of 37 to 40 km, requiring a minimum travel time of 45 minutes. Public transport is limited in this rural region; a car is therefore essential.

The region has a mild climate with an average annual temperature of 17.8°C. Due to the inland location and elevation (166 meters), night temperatures can be slightly lower than on the coast, experienced as pleasant in summer. The outdoor swimming season lasts approximately 4 months. With 3,894 hours of sun per year, the region is one of the sunniest in Spain. The location by the lake creates a specific microclimate.

The nearest beaches are located on the Costa del Sol, around Torre del Mar and La Caleta. Distances vary from 14 to 15 km. For water recreation, Lake Viñuela itself offers possibilities, although motorized water sports are often restricted. Golf courses in the area are mainly found towards Málaga (Parador, Guadalhorce). The natural environment invites hiking and biking in the mountains.

Compared to coastal projects like in Fuengirola (e.g., Astra Homes or Waterfall Residences), this project in La Viñuela offers significantly more land and privacy for a comparable or higher price. While Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000) often offers apartments or townhouses on smaller plots, here stands a detached villa on a large estate. The price point of €850,000 reflects the luxury of space and the lake view. Comparing with projects in Málaga city is difficult due to the different character; here one buys quiet and nature rather than urban dynamics. In terms of price per square meter of living space, this project sits higher than many new build apartments, justified by the plot size and property type (detached).
