From here, there are two generous double bedrooms, both with direct access onto a terrace, together with a stunning refurbished bathroom complete with walk-in shower, freestanding bathtub, and large heated towel rail.
The landing and bedrooms feature beautiful solid wooden flooring throughout and additional storage space. Beneath the kitchen terrace is a large storage area with open parking for several vehicles, along with a substantial water deposit tank storing town water.

The orchard is beautifully established and quite extensive, offering a wonderful variety of mature fruit trees including avocados, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, figs, plums, and grapes.
The garden is also filled with an attractive selection of plants and flowers, such as old roses, jasmine, wisteria, plumbago, and many others, creating a truly charming and colorful outdoor space. This charming home is fully registered with an AFO certificate and benefits from mains electricity, town water, natural spring water, and irrigation water during the summer months at an approximate annual cost of €100.

Alhaurín el Grande
Alhaurín el Grande is a well-established inland town in the Guadalhorce Valley, around 30–40 minutes from Málaga, the airport and much of the Costa del Sol. It offers a practical year-round base with everyday shops, supermarkets, cafés, schools, health services and local sports facilities, while the surrounding area is known for country properties, village homes and mountain views. Demand tends to come from both full-time residents and international buyers looking for more space than the coast typically offers, with access to golf, walking routes and nearby towns such as Coín and Alhaurín de la Torre.
Alhaurín el Grande offers a practical inland lifestyle with a year-round local community, a traditional town centre, everyday shops and cafés, and straightforward access to the Guadalhorce Valley, golf courses and walking routes. It suits buyers who want more space and a working Spanish town feel while staying within driving distance of Málaga, the airport and the coast.
Area scores
It is inland, but still within practical driving reach of Málaga Airport compared with deeper rural locations.
This is a substantial inland town, but it does not offer the pace, scale or urban variety of a true city.
This is an inland location and does not provide a beach or seafront way of life.
The everyday-town setup, housing range and year-round feel make it a practical option for many families.
This is one of its strongest points: it feels set up for real, year-round living rather than seasonal occupation.
Golf is accessible in the wider region, but the area itself is not defined by a golf-resort lifestyle.
It can work for second-home owners who like inland living, but it is less obvious for classic beach-holiday use.
It attracts overseas buyers, especially those seeking a more authentic inland base, but it is less internationally branded than the coast.
It has broad buyer appeal and useful access, but it is not among the most obviously high-profile market hotspots.
It has a strong sense of ordinary local life and feels more rooted than many resort-oriented areas.
The area has attractive homes and some larger properties, but it is not widely seen as a prestige address.
There is no marina-based lifestyle here; that is not part of the area's identity.
The area strongly suits buyers who want an inland Andalusian setting with countryside and hill views nearby.
Evening life exists in local-town form, but it is not a nightlife-led destination.
It functions well for day-to-day family life, but it is not especially defined by large-scale leisure-park appeal.
Outskirts and country areas can be peaceful, while the town itself is active and lived-in rather than sleepy.
Properties on the edges and in the countryside can offer good plots and breathing room compared with denser coastal areas.
There is likely to be interest from long-stay and some holiday renters, though demand is less obvious than in prime coastal zones.
As a sizeable town it offers everyday dining options, but it is not especially known as a destination dining hub.
A town of this size usually supports practical sporting options, though it is not especially known as a specialist sports base.
Buyers often get more space and practicality here than in prime coastal locations for similar budgets.
It has Andalusian character and a traditional town feel, though it is busier and more functional than a picture-postcard village.
The town centre supports day-to-day walking, although hillside and out-of-town homes are more car-dependent.
The inland setting gives access to walking country, though it is not as directly hiking-focused as higher mountain areas.
One thing we've noticed is that buyers who choose Alhaurín el Grande aren't usually looking for the typical Costa del Sol lifestyle. They're often looking for more space, a stronger sense of community and a slower pace of life, whilst still being close enough to reach the coast when they want it. It's a conscious trade-off, and for many people, it's one they never regret making.
