Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in Periana, a municipality in the La Axarquía comarca. The environment is inland and offers an urban setting with local amenities. The distance to the coast is approximately 23 kilometers as the crow flies. The immediate vicinity is characterized by a landscape of mountains and the local lake, providing a backdrop that differs from the direct coastal strip.
The layout provides for four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, allowing privacy for multiple residents. The living area of 580 m² spread over two floors creates space for separate living areas. On the premises, a private swimming pool is present. The presence of an outdoor kitchen and terraces facilitates outdoor living. The garage provides parking space for multiple vehicles.
This concerns an existing build. The state of maintenance is described as 'Good'. Technical installations include air conditioning for climate control. The facades and windows are fitted with double glazing. There is a license for use as a Bed & Breakfast and for vacation rental, offering operational possibilities for the new owner.
Periana is not located directly on the coast. The distance to the Mediterranean Sea is 23 kilometers, meaning beach visits require travel beforehand. The elevation of 515 meters above sea level can lead to different weather conditions than at sea level, particularly in the winter months. A car is necessary for quick accessibility to the airport (39 km) and larger cities.
This project fits residents who require a lot of living space (580 m²) and a large plot, suitable for families or multi-generational living situations where multiple generations can live under one roof thanks to the division over two floors. The presence of four en-suite bathrooms supports this living concept. Additionally, it is relevant for buyers looking for a property with commercial potential in the rental sector, thanks to the B&B and vacation rental licenses. The location is less suitable for persons who prefer direct access to the beach or a vibrant nightlife within walking distance. The distance to the airport (39 km) and the coast makes a car necessary, fitting residents who value mobility over walkability to the coast.
The residence features a number of finishes focused on comfort and maintenance. The bathrooms are tiled and equipped with shower cubicles and vanity units, pointing to a functional standard finish. The kitchen includes a cooking island. Double glazing has been chosen, contributing to insulation and noise reduction. Furthermore, fitted wardrobes are present for storage. The installations include air conditioning, essential for the climate in the region. The pool and outdoor area are functionally designed with attention to outdoor use. The material choices in the hall and on the floors indicate a decent, well-maintained level of finish without extravagant luxury.
The asking price for this villa is set at €742,000. There is no variation in models or prices for this specific object, as it is a unique home. The pricing includes a plot of 1,800 m². Keep in mind that in addition to the purchase price, additional costs such as transfer tax, notary, and registration fees apply. For renting out the property, specific licenses are present, which influences the potential of the object.
Periana offers a living environment focused on the local community in La Axarquía. With approximately 3,500 residents, the scale of the settlement is smaller than that of coastal towns. Amenities, such as a supermarket at 328 meters and a pharmacy at 289 meters, are nearby, making daily shopping without a car possible. The location at 515 meters in altitude ensures cooler temperatures during the summer months and a panoramic view of the surrounding mountain range. The swimming season in the nearby lake or sea runs approximately from April to October due to the geographical location. The rhythm in this area is defined by rural habits and the absence of mass tourism. The presence of sports facilities and local holidays (32 per year) contributes to a social life centered around the region's residents.
The immediate living environment in Periana is small-scale and practical. Within a two-kilometer radius, three restaurants and one pharmacy are established. For daily groceries, a supermarket is located 328 meters away. The proximity of amenities within the residential neighborhood means not every trip requires a car. For specialized medical care, the hospital is accessible at 8.2 kilometers distance. The region knows 32 local holidays per year, indicating an active social calendar. The surroundings are inland, meaning the atmosphere is quieter than in the coastal resorts.
The map shows the position of the villa in Periana in relation to the town center and the surrounding mountains. The distance to the lake has been mapped. The location is measured as the crow flies, meaning the route through the mountainous terrain may be longer than the map distance suggests.
Periana is located in La Axarquía, a comarca in the east of the province of Malaga. The project is strategically positioned between Vélez-Malaga (23 kilometers) and the city of Malaga (48 kilometers). This allows the location to function as a residential area enabling commuter traffic to the coast and the city, without lying directly in the busyness thereof. The distance to the Costa del Sol provides access to the amenities of the coast, while returning to the tranquility of the hinterland.
The location of Periana requires planning regarding transportation. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is located 39 kilometers away as the crow flies; this is approximately 45 minutes by car. The nearest beaches, such as Playa de La Caleta, are located 23 kilometers away. Golf courses are at a greater distance: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce and Club de Golf Malaga Parador are both 39 kilometers away. Public transport is limited with one stop in the immediate vicinity; a car is therefore practically necessary. For electric vehicles, a charging point is found at 6.3 kilometers distance.

Compared to coastal projects, such as Arosa in Mijas or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola, this object in Periana offers significantly more square meters of living space for a comparable or lower price. While coastal projects often price above €700,000 for apartments or smaller villas, this plot offers 1,800 m² of land and 580 m² of living space. However, the compromise lies in the location. In Fuengirola (Waterfall Residences), one lives in the city center by the sea, while in Periana one lives inland and must travel 23 kilometers to the beach. Astra Homes in Fuengirola is cheaper (from €364,000) but likely offers less luxury and space than this detached villa. For buyers prioritizing space and tranquility over direct beach access, Periana offers a better price-quality ratio than the busy coastal zones.
