This project in Sedella presents a detached villa with 496 m² of living space, set on a substantial 40,000 m² plot. Designed with attention to acoustic detail and construction quality, the property features four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Situated at 677 meters above sea level with a south-facing orientation, the home offers panoramic views of the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama mountain ranges. The location combines rural seclusion with accessibility to local village life.
Compared to coastal projects like Arosa in Mijas (from €490k) or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720k), this Sedella villa offers significantly more land for a comparable or lower price point. While coastal units offer walkability to beaches, this property trades proximity for space and privacy. For buyers prioritizing land volume and silence over immediate beach access, the value proposition is high.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is located in Sedella within the Axarquía region of Málaga. The setting is rural, adjacent to the Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park. Sedella is a small municipality with approximately 373 inhabitants. Essential amenities are within walking distance, including a supermarket 74 meters from the property. The area is characterized by mountainous terrain and forests, positioned inland from the coastal developments.
This property addresses the need for extensive outdoor space and privacy. The four-hectare plot allows for agricultural use or landscape gardening. The floor plan includes four en-suite bedrooms, suitable for a family or guests utilizing the separate guest casita. Multiple terraces and a solarium facilitate an outdoor lifestyle, while the mountain views provide a sense of openness and connection to the landscape.
The residence was constructed by an architect and master builder with a focus on longevity and acoustics. The build features 50 cm thick walls, solid foundations, and high vaulted ceilings. The exterior finish uses high-quality, durable paint. Interior amenities include custom hardwood joinery, air conditioning, and a domotics system. A 40 m² guest house and a large garage with custom wooden doors are included in the construction.
Buyers should note the rural and elevated location at 677 meters. The distance to the coast and beaches is approximately 13 kilometers as the crow flies, requiring vehicle transport for sea access. While public transport exists via one bus line, service is limited. Access to specialized medical care and golf courses involves travel times of 30 to 60 minutes. The nearest airport is Málaga-Costa del Sol, 46 kilometers away.
This villa is appropriate for buyers seeking a retreat from coastal congestion and interested in a rural or self-sufficient lifestyle. It suits individuals who value privacy and have an interest in gardening or outdoor hobbies. It also functions as a second home for those preferring quiet surroundings, with the guest house offering rental potential. Comfort with mountain driving and living in a small community is essential.
The construction quality is distinguished by technical specifications such as 50 cm thick walls for insulation and soundproofing. Interior features include bespoke hardwood joinery and fitted kitchens. Technologically, the home is equipped with air conditioning, a security alarm, and domotics. The exterior paint is specified as high-durability, washable grade. The garage is oversized and features custom-crafted wooden doors.
The asking price for this villa starts at €499,000. This secures 496 m² of living space and a 40,000 m² plot. The price per square meter is competitive compared to coastal properties, considering the land size and inclusion of a guest house and extensive garage. The valuation reflects the rural location and the superior build quality, including acoustic design and solid construction.
Living in Sedella involves residing in an authentic White Village (Pueblo Blanco) known for its tranquility. The environment is defined by the surrounding natural park and mountain peaks. With 3,909 annual sun hours, the climate is sunny, though the altitude ensures cooler evenings compared to the coast. The swimming season lasts approximately four months. The large plot and terraces provide ample private space for outdoor activities, gardening, or simply enjoying the silence of the mountains.
The immediate environment is the village of Sedella and the adjoining natural park. Daily necessities can be purchased at the supermarket 74 meters away. A pharmacy is within 4.5 km, and a hospital at 9.7 km. While golf courses and the airport are further afield (45 km+), the area provides immediate access to mountain trails.
