Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated within the village of Salares in the La Axarquía comarca. The area is defined by the proximity to the Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park, located just east of the village. The elevation of 457 meters above sea level provides views of the mountainous surroundings and results in a cooler climate compared to the immediate coastline.
The layout includes three bedrooms, each featuring an en-suite bathroom, ensuring privacy for residents. An additional family bathroom is available. The living room is spacious and includes a fireplace. The kitchen is partially fitted. Externally, the property features several terraces, a jacuzzi, and a barbecue area, effectively extending the living space outdoors.
Although listed as brand-new, construction was completed in 2016. This indicates the property meets recent building regulations but has had time to settle into the environment. Technical installations are more modern compared to older village properties.
Salares is a small, rural municipality with limited commercial amenities. Dependence on larger nearby towns like Vélez-Málaga is necessary for extensive shopping and specific services. Public transport options in the immediate vicinity are limited, increasing the necessity of a private car for mobility outside the village.

This property suits residents seeking a permanent residence in a quiet, authentic Andalusian environment. The size and layout make it suitable for couples or small families who value privacy (en-suite bathrooms). Individuals who enjoy outdoor living and desire amenities like a jacuzzi without immediate neighbors at a shared pool will find this suitable. It is also an option for those wishing to distance themselves from coastal hustle while remaining within reach of amenities. The limited commercial activity in the village makes it less suitable for those seeking a vibrant nightlife or immediate access to large shopping centers.

The presence of a fireplace in the living room indicates provisions for winter comfort. A storage room is available outside.

The asking price for this property is set at €212,100. This serves as a starting price for this specific object. Price variations may arise from negotiations regarding furnishings, as furniture is negotiable. There is no multi-unit development; this is a unique transaction for an existing property.
Life in Salares is defined by rural tranquility and direct access to nature. The living environment is quiet, and the small population (approx. 175) fosters a close-knit community feel. The property is in a town setting, meaning it is not isolated but part of the village fabric. The elevation causes significant temperature differences with the coast; summers are warm during the day but cooler at night. With high sunshine hours (approx. 3,900 annually), the terraces are a key feature of the home, complemented by the jacuzzi and barbecue facilities. The adjacent natural park offers opportunities for hiking and outdoor activities directly from the doorstep.
The immediate living environment consists of the historic village of Salares. Amenities such as a restaurant, pharmacy, and bank are within a 2 km radius. A supermarket is located 1.2 km away. The infrastructure around the village is rural. For hospital care and extensive sports facilities, a trip to Vélez-Málaga (approx. 28 km) is required. The proximity to the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park ensures a green, unspoiled environment bordering the built-up area.
The map shows the position of Salares within the Málaga province, in the eastern sector. The location is marked in the mountainous area of La Axarquía, bordering the natural park.
Salares is located in the La Axarquía comarca, known for its white villages and mountain landscapes. It is isolated from major cities; Málaga city is 58 km away. Its positioning is unique: amidst nature but with a tiny population of 175. This represents the hinterland of the Costa del Sol, where the pace of life is slower than on the coast.
The beach (Playa de La Caleta) is 12 km away in a straight line, but due to the mountainous terrain, driving time is significantly longer. Málaga Airport is 46 km away (straight line). There is one public transport line in the region, but private transport is practically necessary for all connections outside the village. Golf courses are accessible (Parador Málaga at 45 km) but require planning and transport.

Compared to projects in coastal towns like Mijas or Fuengirola, the price per square meter in Salares is significantly lower. While comparable coastal homes often command prices above €400,000 (e.g., Arosa in Mijas starting at €490,000), this object offers a larger plot and more living space for a lower investment. The trade-off is accessibility: Salares requires a car for every trip, whereas Fuengirola has direct access to beaches and trains. However, for buyers prioritizing space, quiet, and nature over immediate beach life, Salares offers a better price-value ratio than the densely populated coastal zones.
